Nobody has ever been able to say - and honourable senators can go back to the early 1960s - that at any conference at which we have been represented by the Prime Minister or by the Minister for External Affairs, anybody has ever been big enough to say to people in Vietnam or, for that matter, in Thailand or Malaysia: All right, with any Australian commitments which we have of an economic or military nature, every year we want to see a positive indication of what is happening to the society as a whole.’ [More…]
So there has been on and off - I exclude from this categorisation General Eisenhower, am ironclad conservative and Republican - very little in the nature of adventures outside the United States. [More…]
I think he was referring to alleged takeovers by the trade unions or someone of that nature during the course of this Moratorium but in fact the points which he made were in defence of a government which itself in 1955 in South Vietnam ran away from free elections. [More…]
There are other steps which will have to be taken to assist in the provision of a greater number of persons suitably qualified to carry out this task so that legislation which is of an increasingly complex nature will noi be confused by haste in trying to keep up with the pressure or, alternatively, delayed because of the care and responsibility of the parliamentary draftsmen. [More…]
It is not the practice to canvass, either before or after the event, the nature of any advice tendered to the Government from official sources in that context. [More…]
Three Central Reference Libraries contain some 6,000 books of a reference nature. [More…]
Another disability referred to some time ago by Mr Nicholson and others was to the effect that Tasmania had a meat trade with Japan to the extent of $300,000 per annum with a great capacity for expansion and that this trade was being crucified because of the irregularity and unsatisfactory nature of the shipping service. [More…]
But time goes on and it is not very long before one gets a further request, with the statement that there are vital markets to be serviced here and there and they cannot be serviced and are being lost because there is a better shipping service from Canada or there is a better back freighting system from Japan for the plywood industry, or things of this nature. [More…]
1 am by nature a dissenter but I do not believe in violence. [More…]
On every occasion in the past when demonstrations of this nature have taken place against the policies of an evil government they have- had an effect to the extent that those policies have been changed. [More…]
We believe that in the coming months only by protests of this nature will we assist in moulding public opinion to the point that the Government will not be game to send another battalion to Vietnam. [More…]
I wish to address some comments to this quite important Bill now before the Senate, not for the purpose of holding up its passage through this chamber, because in principle and in general terms the Opposition supports it, but because 1 believe it is proper at a time like this, when a measure of the importance of this Bill comes before the chamber, that one who has observations to make on it of a constructive nature or which could perhaps highlight any inadequacies, inequities or inefficiencies in the legislation, should rise and direct his comments to those things. [More…]
The honourable senator mentioned, for instance, the need for a standardisation of approach in many directions, particularly in building procedures and in the regulations, stipulations, restrictions, covenants and things of that nature which can . [More…]
- Towing-Pole Trailer: Pole Jinker; 4 Wheel Trailer: Mobile Kitchen - additional allowances for nature of vehicle towed, or - Hand truck (single pole); Stores Trailer; 2 Wheeled General Trailer: Compressor; Cable Trailer; Cable Winch Trailer; Ditcher: Caravan additional allowance for nature of vehicle towed. [More…]
or - Joint Trailers: Lineman’s Hand Cart; Concrete Mixer; Water Furphy - additional allowance for nature of vehicle towed. [More…]
When the legislation was introduced in 1964 it was understood by all of us that it was of an experimental nature and that inevitably, in trying to implement the purposes of the legislation, some administrative difficulties would be found. [More…]
Surely we must accept some responsibility for preventing inflation of this nature. [More…]
The Bill that is now before us will, without doubt, create a lot of interest throughout the rural community and I think that it is advisable when we are having a look at a Bill of this nature to examine the attitude of members of the public generally who are involved in it. [More…]
Any inquiry of the nature of that now proposed would be quite inadequate. [More…]
The very nature of this system introduces problems which are of a complex nature. [More…]
They come to Canberra to meet the various representatives of the Government and the elected representatives of their particular areas to impress upon them the nature of the very great difficulties they are facing. [More…]
I think that there is evidence al hand of the need for an inquiry of this nature. [More…]
But in addition to this, of course, the Federal structure in -Australia is involved in the problem of not attempting to get uniform development in terms of a physical nature, because this is not possible. [More…]
The reason why the municipal rates iti South Australia are approximately a little above one-third of the equivalent rates in Victoria is because the flow of federal funds into South Australia is of such an order and nature that municipal government in South Australia can maintain itself at less than half the rate at which Victoria can maintain itself. [More…]
I agree that normally a matter of this nature should be discussed at greater leisure at another time, but when the accuracy of the Journals of the Senate is being questioned it is perhaps proper to, as far as possible, discuss the matter as soon as practicable. [More…]
Bat, nevertheless, this is the nature of modern affairs and modern warfare. [More…]
In the course of my remarks tonight 1 will seek to describe the problems surrounding the FI II programme, the nature of the decisions the Government has so far made, and their consequences for Australia. [More…]
Apart from the advice that he gave us, Senator Wood said a couple of things about the nature of the war in Vietnam and Cambodia about which I should like to comment. [More…]
The President of the United States, the United States Administration and every national leader in the United States have made it clear that, whatever the outcome of the present conflict in Indo-China may be, the United States does not intend to participate in future conflicts of this nature in Asia. [More…]
The United States has made it perfectly clear that in no wars of this nature in future will it become involved in South East Asia. [More…]
The proportion of expenditure on (a) aeromagnetic surveys and (b) seismic surveys in each State is not available and cannot be dissected due to the regional nature of the operations which by their nature often cross and re-cross State and Territory boundaries. [More…]
In the earlier article to which I referred, Dr Frith concluded from an experiment which was conducted under proper climatic conditions, that the red kangaroo has a comparatively sedentary nature and will not move beyond a radius of about 30 miles. [More…]
Many years ago he realised the great dangers which exist in relation to the extinction of the kangaroo if killings of this nature are to continue. [More…]
Because of the nature of that country these Australian marsupials choose to live and have lived there immemorially, but in increasing numbers they are likely to deny to the people wanting to develop this country and draw their sustenance and living from it the opportunity to farm and culture that land in the proper way. [More…]
Of course, the present alertness to the endangered position of the kangaroo is a manifestation of a wider problem which includes the threat to other species and particularly to our great areas of flora, to our timber resources and things of that nature. [More…]
This facility was introduced in 1965 to provide insurance cover for direct Australian investments overseas in desirable types of ventures, particularly those of a joint venture nature in the developing countries. [More…]
By the very nature of an urgency motion, no issue can be determined, but opportunity is afforded to spotlight some specific matter which, in the opinion of those senators supporting the motion, is of sufficient urge’ncy to warrant the immediate consideration of the Senate. [More…]
The credit union, by its nature, by its mutuality, assists. [More…]
The reason why this did not take place was because at some stage after the organisers had been preparing their snake dances and other activities for some weeks a decision was made, or a decision was passed down which they accepted, that this was not the appropriate time to engage in an activity which was not only provocative but which, by its very nature, was liable to cause disturbance. [More…]
There is no doubt that it is public opinion when people are prepared to participate in any demonstration of that nature. [More…]
But I should have thought that every honourable senator on the Government side would avoid making any accusations of this nature against members of the Opposition. [More…]
There was no lack of ability in this country to develop missiles of this nature, but there was a lack of will and a lack of foresight. [More…]
Senator Prowse suggests by interjection that a tax of this nature is not desirable - if any tax is desirable - and that it is indefensible not only in Commonwealth hands but also in State hands. [More…]
It was $6m, or something of that nature. [More…]
In times of national stringency or for other purposes we might properly embark upon a tax of this nature. [More…]
I can find no economic basis for the imposition of a tax of this nature. [More…]
The farms may be earning for the owner not much more than the basic wage, but the farms have a capital value of that nature. [More…]
I was intrigued to hear Senator Prowse say that a certain gentleman had so many signatures in a certain time in support of the abolition of death duties. [More…]
The moment of truth comes to us all and there would not be much difficulty in getting signatures on a petition of that nature. [More…]
I suppose that it would be rare for the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Murphy) and I to be tending to speak in the same direction in relation to an amendment of this nature. [More…]
The Opposition has been saying the same thing in this Parliament for a number of years, but because the Government has been lethargic in introducing a measure of this nature a great number of our actors, writers and technicians have been denied continuity of work in this industry. [More…]
I have already said that legislation of this nature should have been introduced earlier. [More…]
Good as they are, they are completely useless unless an adequate market can be found for them and unless an assurance of consumption can be given to the primary producers who have committed their capital and their own physical efforts to the development of their farms and the production of rural products of this nature. [More…]
In exercising its role, government must be aware that it has 2 problems; the first being of an agricultural and economic ‘nature, and the second a sociological problem relating to those who have to change from their present form of rural enterprise. [More…]
In deep diving of this nature a mixture of helium and oxygen is used. [More…]
When an accident of this nature happens several miles off the coast - as this one did - and in circumstances which are clouded in doubt, attempts to uncover the events surrounding the death of the person are shrouded in secrecy. [More…]
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. [More…]
But the House will, 1 think, be interested to know dial since 1967 my own Department has been responsible for some 30 significant Ordinances of a law reform nature - some of them representing quite major projects. [More…]
What was the nature of the distress? [More…]
While some of these reasons are inseparable from the nature of service life other areas are currently under examination by the Defence (Conditions of Service) Committee. [More…]
Those assurances were of the nature indicated by Senator Dittmer; that is, that the dental therapists must work under the direction and control of registered dentists. [More…]
It does not destroy the whole castle or pull the house down and attempt to erect something which of its very nature will not be as good. [More…]
The taxpayers’ money will be wasted on operations of this nature, but the Government is of the opinion that they should be included in this legislation. [More…]
I believe that operations of this nature should be omitted from the legislation. [More…]
The first responsibility of a government is to tax if it wants to do something and it is convinced of the real nature of the justification for it. [More…]
It is inevitable that this will result from a scheme of this nature. [More…]
When schemes of this nature are introduced the Australian people are divided. [More…]
The Commonwealth Committee of Inquiry on Health Insurance, known as the Nimmo Committee, told us that it was without foundation, and the Senate Select Com’mittee on Medical and Hospital Costs told us that it was without foundation, yet the Government, in pursuit of its so called free-enterprise policy - it is free only sometimes, not always - will persist in wasting millions and millions of dollars of the taxpayers’ funds in shoring up a scheme of thin nature. [More…]
We have been unable to persuade members of the Labor Party, as yet, that the appropriate, proper and prudent thing is that this legislation should abide about another fortnight, after years and years of consideration and months and months of negotiation, until this final opportunity is given to the Australian Medical Association to present to this Parliament a scheme which can be embodied in the legislation, lt is for that reason that I rise at this stage to draw attention to certain aspects of the nature of the passage of the Bill through the Senate. [More…]
But tonight in this place we have been presented with a list of 30 substantial amendments from the official Opposition going to the very heart and nature of many proposals in the health legislation. [More…]
If the Government says that it will be determined on the previous 12 months earnings, that will not work because the worker will increase his weekly earnings by a decision of the court, by the generosity of the employer, by overtime or by something of that nature. [More…]
As the confidential nature of the memoradium has already been breached I set out below the full text of the memorandum. [More…]
Firstly, this is not a case in which regulations impose liabilities either by way of taxation or of attempting to impose anything in the nature of a punitive liability or an adverse liability on citizens. [More…]
In a matter like this where the regulation does not adversely affect the rights of parties but merely implements the right of the tribunal, because the Commonwealth is honour bound lo pay the officer I should think that the only purpose of the Regulations and Ordinances Committee in bringing the matter before us is to note that there were deficiencies of an administrative nature in the preliminary procedures and to call our attention, quite properly, to the requirement that these administrative procedures ought to be dealt with more punctiliously and punctually. [More…]
1 do not dispute the right to raise questions of this nature, but I think we should deal with the specific question before the Senate in the particular circumstances that have come before us today. [More…]
1 appreciate the difficulties involved in getting parliamentary draftsmen so that legislation can be consolidated, but 1 point out that in this instance, with an important Bill of this nature, the last consolidation was in 1965. [More…]
1 urge the Government to ensure that in future when introducing major legislation of this nature consolidations are effected so that the people who have to deal with the legislation will be able to do so intelligently. [More…]
But what I do hope will happen and what I do seriously suggest should happen is that at the first possible opportunity something in the nature of a White Paper should be published by the Minister in relation to this matter. [More…]
Senator Rae suggested that at the first available opportunity the Government should bring down something in the nature of a White Paper or a statement by the Minister as to what the Government’s attitude on this matter is to be. [More…]
Hundreds of thousands of these documents, and other documents of this nature, have been printed at the taxpayers’ expense. [More…]
We have had a host of inquiries of this nature. [More…]
We believe that this clause because of its restrictive nature will result in the taking up of very valuable hospital beds. [More…]
I am not saying for one moment that the members of the medical profession who provide professional services are overcharging or anything of that nature. [More…]
We know that in its interim report the Senate Select Committee also recommended action of this nature. [More…]
In all sincerity I point out to honourable senators that an amendment of this nature should be very carefully considered because in my opinion it introduces into the field of the so-called national health scheme or the medical benefits scheme quite a new phase. [More…]
I do not think there should be a power of this nature which, without applying any criterion, is, on the face of it, offending against the rule of law in that discrimination is made between one dental practitioner and another - I repeat, without any standard being applied except the unqualified discretion of the DirectorGeneral. [More…]
It is quite clear in my mind, and I think it is clear in the minds of the Minister and the supporters of the Government in the main, that it is not in the nature of things expected that the ordinary dental practitioner will be either competent or qualified to carry out very complicated oral surgery. [More…]
Suppose that the person who makes the claim decides to settle for a quarter of that amount - $1,250 - because of the nature of the claim and because the defendant has said that he has a strong case and is not prepared to pay more than onequarter of the claim. [More…]
Commonwealth benefit is payable to any person for medical treatment of a nature covered by the First Schedule.’. [More…]
be amended to provide that the Commonwealth benefit is payable to any person for medical treatment of a nature covered by the First Schedule. [More…]
We therefore feel that on a matter of this nature - the establishment of Specialist Recognition Advisory Committees and Appeal Committees - it is important that the States should have representation. [More…]
It provides for services of a general practitioner nature to be made available to people who are eligible for medical attention under the pensioner medical service, but not for services of . [More…]
a specialist nature. [More…]
Its structure, its nature, its sources of funds, its charter objectives all preclude it from acting like a bank, in the framework of the banking system, as in the case of the Australian Resources Development Bank. [More…]
Of course, in some cases even though the sums involved may be very small the nature of the matters could be such that the parties would want a determination by the Supreme Court. [More…]
I would contemplate an appeal of this nature - an appeal under sections 35 and 37 - as an appeal on the record of the orginal hearing. [More…]
That would be my understanding of the nature of the appeal contemplated under sections 35 and 37. [More…]
Senator Byrne raised the matter of appeals under sections 35 and 37. lt seems to me that the nature of appeals is one of the most vexed subjects in the law. [More…]
Some very great cases exist as to what the nature of the appeal would involve - whether it is a true appeal to be decided on exactly the same material as was before the person or body from whom the appeal was taken or whether it is an appeal in the sense of a hearing de novo, or commencing from the beginning. [More…]
Handicapped children are under a great disadvantage compared with the normal child in the Australian community and we believe that the handicapped child should not be further deprived of benefit by having the amount of $1.50 included in an Act of this nature when the general provision for all other sections of the community is $2. [More…]
We believe that it is the responsibility of the Government to ensure that information of a full and frank nature is provided by applicant organisations; that it should be mandatory for the Director-General to refuse registration unless the information is submitted. [More…]
As Senator Byrne pointed out and as Senator Dame Annabelle Rankin said to the Committee, this administrative act is entirely different in nature and function from a regulation. [More…]
He possessed a kindly but firm nature which endeared him to all those who were privileged to know him. [More…]
I emphasise that if we were bringing in a Bill of this nature it would not be in conformity with these differentials in respect of low income earners. [More…]
The Director-General may refer to a Specialist Recognition Advisory Committee the question whether a particular medical practititioner should, having regard to bis qualifications, experience and standing in the medical profession and the nature of his practice, be recognized for the purposes of this Act as a specialist, or as a consultant physician, in a particular specialty. “ [More…]
It is usual to provide that appointments to committees of the nature of the Specialist Recognition Advisory Committees are to be for a fixed period of time or at the Minister’s pleasure. [More…]
The criteria are set out in the Bill and include the doctor’s qualifications, his experience and standing in the profession and the nature of his practice. [More…]
I think we have to recognise that in advisory panels of this nature there is such a thing as the personal incompatibility of people. [More…]
I take it that the selection of a member from 1 branch of the medical profession is at the instance of that branch, if we had a fixed term of appointment and the Minister was noi given this opportunity to dismiss for good and sufficient cause - as I presume would be the basis on which he would remove - we could imagine 2 possibilities: first of all, that a member of the Committee had nol committed any breach of anything which would constitute misconduct warranting his dismissal but may have for some reason or another ceased to be a member of the body which originally nominated him, or disappeared or done something of that nature, or in some way breached the rules of the association whose nominee he was, in which case he ceases to be a satisfactory representative of that body on the Committee. [More…]
lt does occur to mc that a very difficult position would arise where we would have either a practitioner not practising or not attending or anything of that nature but there would be no breach. [More…]
The Government has therefore decided to proceed with its examination of arrangements for the payment of these benefits in the context of other relevant proposals, and in the view of the Government the provision of benefits for spectacles is in the nature of an ancillary benefit. [More…]
ls it in the nature of an ancillary medical service or is it in the nature of a para-medical service, or is it within certain bounds an actual medical service? [More…]
If that is so, on the principles which are implicit in the whole of the Act, in the amendment as it relates now to oral surgery by dentists and in the acknowledgment by the ophthalmologists themselves, there must be no alternative but to recognise the service given by the optometrists in the area of refractive errors, the discovery and examination of them and prescription for them as a medical service - not of a para-medical nature and not of an ancillary nature, but an actual medical service. [More…]
Frankly, one cannot in many respects oppose an amendment of this nature. [More…]
The studies are of a continuing and longterm nature and the duration of the work at Lake George cannot be determined at this stage. [More…]
The additional payment of $1.5m to Tasmania represents special assistance of a temporary nature to help the State finance its revenue deficit. [More…]
Another feature of the Bill is that in disposing of land, the man whose property is being built up will be able to obtain that land at current market value taking into account the nature of the proposed land use and the system of tenure. [More…]
In return, the Stale would agree lo operate the scheme in such a way that taking into account its experience with other schemes of an analogous nature, and the normal expectations that 1 have just mentioned, the amounts recovered could be reasonably expected to equal the Stale’s costs of administration and payment of interest and capital to the Commonwealth. [More…]
Provisions of this nature should not be included in legislation. [More…]
1 think the whole matter can be adequately summed up by saying that there is a need for flexibility, particularly in an organisation of this nature. [More…]
This is a matter that we have raised from time to time when dealing with other Bills of this nature. [More…]
Senator Wood, in his most caustic references to the Bill, said that there was no Australian capital for investment of this nature and that this was an expensive way of spending the taxpayers’ money. [More…]
It can be done, firstly, by the sale of shares on the stock exchange, lt can be done, secondly, through a Corporation of this nature, as has been set out in detail in the second reading speech of the Minister. [More…]
A moment ago my colleague, Senator Georges, referred to mining of this nature in the Cooloola area. [More…]
That is not the nature of our parliamentary process. [More…]
A number of Bills are of a machinery nature and attract no debate in Committee of the whole. [More…]
In addition, one has to take into account that some of those 44 honourable senators are already members of committees of some nature. [More…]
The original Senate by its very nature had a constituency of senators who. [More…]
There are some restrictions on the Government Aircraft Factories entering into commercial activities, but we have been able to supply them with a work load on projects of a commercial nature. [More…]
But, human nature being what it is. [More…]
lt must bc appreciated that the seasonal nature of the meat industry creates enormous problems throughout the Commonwealth for the Department in providing inspectors wherever and whenever meatworks’ managements decide to increase, or decrease throughput. [More…]
In my speech in the second reading debate I mentioned that the Producers and Directors Guild of Australia had indicated in a publication issued by it on 9th February that the Australian Council for the Arts had submitted, in the interim report of the film committee made to the Prime Minister (Mr Gorton) on 27th May 1969, a recommendation that the Government establish a corporation of this nature and that it consist of 5 or 6 members - to quote from the document issued by the Producers and Directors Guild of Australia - ‘with pecuniary interests in commercial film and television production’. [More…]
then provides that a member who becomes a person who has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the film industry shall give written notice to the Minister that he has become such a person and of the nature of the interest. [More…]
says that a disclosure of the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Corporation shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the Corporation and that the member shall not take part after the disclosure in any deliberation or decision of the Corporation with respect to that contract, and shall be disregarded for the purpose of constituting a quorum of the Corporation for any such deliberation or decision. [More…]
The Government believes that no-one with a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter of this nature should be appointed to the Corporation. [More…]
The industry being of the type and nature that it is. [More…]
Will an honourable senator make up his mind about a matter, without obtaining information about it, and come into the Senate and move a motion for disallowance of the regulation or something of that nature? [More…]
Then clause 21 of the Bill deals with the power of the Corporation concerning the making of loans, on such terms and conditions as the Corporation thinks fit, to producers of Australian films, to the guaranteeing of repayments of loans and matters of that nature. [More…]
I believe that matters of this nature should be mentioned in any report that the Corporation will make to the Minister and to the Parliament so that if it is felt by the Corporation that the cross the board quota as it now applies should be extended, the Parliament will be made aware of it and that more cognisance will bc taken of matters which at present are outside the ambit of the Corporation but nonetheless if not directly, then certainly indirectly, associated with it to ensure that more protection is given to Australian producers. [More…]
We on this side of the House are rather disappointed that it took so long for the Government to get around to submitting legislation of this nature. [More…]
1 concede that it would be necessary for the Commonwealth and State governments to negotiate on a project of this nature, but I believe that it is wrong that we in this place should have put before us an agreement which has been signed, sealed, and delivered, as a result of which any criticisms of the agreement that we may care to make would be futile. [More…]
It is true that negotiations between a State Government and overseas consortiums must be to some extent of a confidential nature, but I believe that when we are spending substantial amounts in this way the people of Australia should have some knowledge of whether the requirements of that clause have been complied with. [More…]
If a State government has not the capacity to negotiate properly, fairly and equitably, then it is not the function of the Federal Government to commit the State to liabilities of this nature. [More…]
The fact remains, and I defy anybody to say anything lo the contrary, that no Cabinet Minister should be dabbling in shares of this nature whilst this measure is before the Parliament. [More…]
Different views may be taken on something of this nature, but it seems to me, as I said earlier, that we should be confining our remarks to the Bill which is before the Senate and not the business of sharebroking mercantile agents. [More…]
The Bill is a very worthwhile one and the benefits that will flow from legislation like this will not be confined to an immediate impact of an economic nature but may easily have farreaching beneficial effects upon both ourselves and those countries with whom we are attempting to promote trade in the future. [More…]
We are developing a discrimination in the method of fixing salaries of this nature. [More…]
Can the Minister indicate the nature of these points of conflict, and docs she intend conferring with the Yugoslav Vice-President on this issue or, alternatively, will the Minister for Immigration, Mr Lynch, while in Europe, be conferring with the Government concerned? [More…]
In view of the fact that the Aborigines and Islanders Council sought and was refused a hearing by the Commonwealth Minister on that dale, will the Minister agree that in all future discussions of this nature white men alone be not allowed to make decisions and that a majority of Aboriginals and Islanders be included in such conferences? [More…]
Senator Marriott mad; some observations about the nature of the amendments moved by Senator Drury. [More…]
He was succeeded by a Prime Minister who was supposed to be a nature lover, who had great affection for the tropical north and who was fond of ils marine environment, but he did nothing. [More…]
This Council is purely of a preliminary nature. [More…]
1 suggest that if a third or fourth-year apprentice in the printing industry in Australia were to execute work of this nature he would be criticised by his employers. [More…]
I trust that the Minister will see that an inquiry is held into this matter to ascertain why a department of the Commonwealth has allowed work of this nature to go to Hong Kong when it could have been performed in Australia by Australians. [More…]
As the Minister for Health (Dr Forbes) has already advised in the other place, the recommendations of the Nimmo Committee regarding hospital benefits had implications of such a far reaching nature that the Government is not in a position to make decisions on them at. [More…]
There is sizable expenditure involved in the proposed amendments and on a point of principle the Government is concerned at the effect on budgeting that is involved in proposals of this nature. [More…]
As I indicated in my opening remarks, the Government is not prepared, nor is it reasonable to expect it to do so, to change a long standing policy of this kind without having an opportunity for investigation of the proposed change in detail along with questions of a similar nature, such as the provision generally of ancillary medical services under the health benefits plan. [More…]
There are many documents of this nature available and I know they are readily accessible. [More…]
1 think it is a very good thing that a Bill of this nature should come before the Senate because not only will it result in the provision of the assistance outlined in the Bill but it also gives us an opportunity to express our appreciation to the dedicated people who have served in this field and given the love, affection and care which is so necessary in assisting handicapped children. [More…]
Although the Opposition supports the Bill, I feel that it should be pointed om that, as with so many matters related to education in particular and to government budgeting in matters of this nature in general - in this case a very substantial figure of $30m is provided for a service, namely, the addition to and development of existing teachers training colleges - there appears to be no system whereby such large sums are arrived at. [More…]
These laws do something which I think ought to be avoided wherever possible, and that is to put a strict and a low limit on the liability of the carriers in the event of an accident even where there has been negligence, except in some cases where the negligence is of a particularly gross nature. [More…]
Of course, this is an absurd limitation, for 2 reasons: The first is that, because of the nature of aircraft, the accident may well lead, as may a motor vehiole accident, to severe injuries, such as spinal injuries, where the damages may be very much in excess of $15,000 for medical and other expenses, which are not at the moment recoverable under our national health scheme. [More…]
There will be small aircraft concerning which questions of negligence may be more easily identifiable readily and may, by the very nature pf things, more readily arise than one would suspect would be the case with commercial airlines. [More…]
It may be that from the very nature of things those claims would not have been for more, but sometimes they would have been. [More…]
However, the universal experience is that committees of this nature are needed if the parliamentary institution is to carry out its function. [More…]
and (3) The statistics maintained by the Australian Broadcasting Control Board in this matter do not provide figures of the character sought by the honourable senator or information of the nature concerned for each month of the year. [More…]
Our inquiry into the National Library of Australia related to the stocktaking of the Library’s assets, which stocktaking has been of a composite nature in recent years. [More…]
Then the Government suggests that the nature of the power given to the Minister is such that the expense and delay of an appeal is not warranted. [More…]
In any .case, the nature of the Minister’s power is such that the expense and delay of an appeal are not warranted. [More…]
How can it be said then in any case that the nature of the Minister’s power is such that the expense and delay of an appeal are not warranted? [More…]
I think that there are very real and practical problems in regard to the nature of the right of appeal which is provided. [More…]
I fully share the concern which Senator Murphy has expressed - I have already expressed it - that where there is a decision by a Minister on a claim of this nature there ought to be redress available if a person feels aggrieved. [More…]
Had there been any problem about the nature of the appeal it could have been remedied in half an hour by the Parliamentary Draftsman and another form of appeal inserted. [More…]
We believe it is important for an appeal to lie to a medical practitioner who may be dissatisfied with the nature of the inquiry and the ultimate determination of the Minister and the Opposition therefore presses the amendment. [More…]
That kind of decision can appropriately be made, by a court, and indeed it is recognised in the legislation as -it will stand whether or not this amendment is carried because section 37 provides for an investigation of that nature. [More…]
The courts are constantly determining questions of this nature and of a similar nature - questions of fact, questions of standards - and this is the kind of task that can be undertaken by the courts. [More…]
But it is a very serious position if millions of dollars held by funds in reserves could be channelled into a particular company and a person who is a shareholder in that company - perhaps in a minor way - could see to it that the financial power of the fund is brought into that same company in such a way that it might be used to see that he is permitted to be a director in the fund, or something of that nature. [More…]
The purpose of this Bill, which is in the nature of a precautionary measure, is to obtain authority to borrow from the Reserve [More…]
In view of the limited nature of the Bill, there is no scope for its consideration by the Committee. [More…]
I say that because sometimes it is not realised that when a Bill is not dealt with in Committee it is advisably so because of the nature of the legislation or because of- [More…]
Because of the technical nature of the Bill. [More…]
There are also included in the Bill some tariff changes that are essentially of an administrative nature only. [More…]
However, it has now been found that it is no longer necessary to have a statutory committee of this nature. [More…]
In this connection I might mention that the Premiers have indicated that, in the absence of Commonwealth legislation to impose receipts duty where it is in the nature of an excise, the States would be unlikely to be able to impose receipts duty where it is not in the nature of an excise. [More…]
However, particularly in view of the complex nature of the legislation, I am having circulated to members an explanatory memorandum setting out more detailed information on technical and procedural matters. [More…]
Subject to this, banks are free to charge rates within the maximum appropriate to the nature of the proposition and circumstances of the borrower. [More…]
Accordingly, the National Capital Development Commission engaged the Consultant Engineer, who had previously supervised the project roadworks, to continue through to the restoration phase; in this instance, all the construction gangs of the Department of the Interior, who would normally have done the work, were involved in other landscaping projects of an urgent seasonal nature. [More…]
For a general account of the nature and effects of the proposed legislation, including the position with regard to the Territories, attention is invited to my Second Reading Speech when introducing the States Receipts Duties (Administration) Bill 1970. [More…]
It has been found that the definition of ‘special agreement for weekly hiring’ in the earlier legislation does not cover all agreements for employment of this nature and employers covered by some of these agreements have not been able to obtain refunds of the appropriate portion of the levy even though they meet the essential criteria for refunds. [More…]
Sugar cane grows to a height of 6 feet or 7 feet in north Queensland and it has a fairly high commercial content of sugar, but it docs not do as well in the Bundaberg area because of the generally semi-arid nature of the soil and the unseasonal conditions that have occurred in the area over a period of years. [More…]
However, if it did make the necessary material available to the Commonwealth, I believe that the Commonwealth must stand condemned for the fact that it has been tardy in introducing a scheme of this nature. [More…]
We know hat many dairy farmers have mixed feelings about this scheme, but its voluntary nature should ensure that only those who want to get out of the industry, or who have to get out of it, will get out of it. [More…]
Will the Minister agree that expenditure on advertisements of this nature by the Postmaster-General’s Department is unwarranted and a scandalous waste of public money? [More…]
That is the nature of the section to which the honourable senator referred. [More…]
However, it will amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations to apply to proceedings under section 119, as amended, the provisions of the regulations that in certain proceedings under sections 109 and 111 costs cannot be awarded in respect of more than 1 counsel or in respect of Her Majesty’s counsel unless the Court holds that the nature of the proceedings is such as to warrant the appearance of more than 1 counsel or of Her Majesty’s counsel. [More…]
The annual allowances are for the expenses of office in which these senior officials are necessarily involved but which, by their nature, cannot be met by direct reimbursement. [More…]
After taking all the credit for nature’s bounty, in 1968-69 the Government became alarmed because a record wheat crop of 540 million bushels was delivered. [More…]
But the legislation is quite wide and imprecise in its nature and terms. [More…]
I am describing briefly the nature of the provisions. [More…]
In that case the High Court ruled that this provision meant that for the purposes of assessing the man’s weekly pay at the time of his injury overtime had to be excluded, as did the provision, which was in the nature of an advantage, of weekly time off for which he could receive money. [More…]
We gave some attention to particular aspects of tariff-making: The complexity of the Tariff Schedule, the scope for anticipatory duties, the nature of existing international obligations and, nut least important, the problems created by the attitude, somewhat too prevalent, that once an industry exists it should receive all the protection it needs. [More…]
The relevant section establishing the financial nature of the Corporation is Part 5, section 24, and we would ask you and your colleagues to read this particular paragraph carefully and ask yourselves the question, having regard to the restrictions discussed above, as to how any Corporation could possibly carry out these requirements, when the number of staff and the work to be done are all determined by the Minister. [More…]
It is Australia’s example of the pertinacity of man in his triumph over, and perhaps the conquering of, nature itself. [More…]
Yet, despite the very restrictive nature of the future operations of the proposed Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation as set out in the Bill, particularly in clause 11, it is expected, as Senator Willesee has pointed out, that the Corporation will operate as a commercial organisation in competition with private enterprise and that it will have to pay Commonwealth income taxation and at the same time be expected to have a reasonable return on its capital. [More…]
The electronic data processing equipment which has been installed by the Authority could be used for many purposes which are not necessarily of an engineering nature. [More…]
If the Corporation has to refuse work because it does not come within the restrictive nature of this legislation, although it is work which the Authority is capable of doing and is in fact doing at present, what will happen to the electronic data processing section of the Snowy Mountains Authority? [More…]
It is not in the nature of things for me to give assurances in the name of the Treasurer. [More…]
Is it not time the Department of Immigration refrained from using discretionary powers to make decisions of this nature that ought to be made by the courts nf the land which are the guardians of the children? [More…]
The Corporal on will be restricted to such work as the measurement of the flow of water and the generation, transmission or supply of electricity, lt is appreciated that work of this nature was probably the main reason for the existence of the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority. [More…]
Obviously if something of a minor nature has to be done, such as making some sort of analysis in a laboratory, it would not be very wise to call tenders from sub-contractors. [More…]
As I said last night, there is minor work of this nature throughout the whole construction field. [More…]
The Minister has said that a provision of this nature is already in the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Power Act. [More…]
I point out to him that the functions of this Corporation are to be completely different in nature and in operation from those of the present Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority. [More…]
Some 2 or 3 years ago in this chamber I was rather caustic in my remarks concerning allocations for youngsters, particularly conscripts, who are discharged after service in Vietnam and who are not entitled to loans of this nature. [More…]
I remind the Government that the excuse it made on previous occasions was that these men were not entitled to aid of this nature because this country was not at war. [More…]
Australia has already given some assistance to the Government of South Vietnam to meeting this threat by providing communications equipment, barbed wire and other materials fur village defence, and has promised more aid of this nature. [More…]
I can assure him that our military assistance has always been provided in response to official requests and we have always given the fullest publicity to our actions in this field consistent with the confidential character of the communications and the nature of the subject. [More…]
The Opposition has done this over the years, and in order to illustrate the tradition which has been established, with the concurrence of honourable senators I shall incorporate in Hansard at the end of my speech a list of the measures of an economic or financial nature, including taxation and appropriation Bills, which have been opposed by this Opposition in whole or in part by a vote in the Senate since 1950. [More…]
First, they seek to impose unfair taxes; taxes which are of an inequitable nature in that they will fall ultimately on the consumers, the family men, the people least able to bear them in the community. [More…]
The Government says that the Prime Minister (Mr Gorton) promised that this tax would be introduced: He made a promise of this nature to the States. [More…]
It is clear that when the retrospective legislation is in the nature of a tax it is especially abhorrent and ought to be avoided. [More…]
Mr Roy H. Fields, Assistant UnderSecretary of the Treasury Department, received 1,233 preferential shares which, as I have stated before in this chamber, were in the nature of a gift. [More…]
So, the nature of the tax was then changed. [More…]
Whilst I would love to engage in an exchange of words across the chamber 1 feel that I would be imposing too much upon the good will and the good nature of the rest of the Senate. [More…]
It is on legislation of this nature, if honourable senators opposite really believe in it, that an election ought to be fought. [More…]
The Commonwealth has many other avenues of overcoming the problem without introducing Bills of this nature. [More…]
Vast sums are expended each year on our embassies overseas and things of that nature. [More…]
In peace time one has to take into consideration human nature. [More…]
But what we must arrive at in terms of a collective bargaining system imposed upon an arbitration system is an agreement; and that agreement may be broken simply because in the nature of affairs situations will arise in which, the parties not having been able to indicate beforehand or to predicate all the problems that might arise, a problem arises for which the bargain does not provide any remedy. [More…]
I know that some people want to destroy arbitration but the Government’s action in trying to force people to pay fines of this nature will assist those very people who want to destroy arbitration. [More…]
However, it will amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Regulations to apply to proceedings under section 119. us amended, the provisions of the regulations that in certain proceedings under section 109 and 111 costs cannot be awarded in respect of more than 1 counsel or in respect of Her Majesty’s counsel unless the Court holds dial the nature ot the proceedings is such as to warrant the appearance of more than i counsel or of Her Majesty’s counsel. [More…]
We have also decided thai costs of representation in relation to proceedings under sections 109 and 111. should be limited to junior counsel, unless the Commonwealth Industrial Court considers that issues of such a nature are involved that the use of senior counsel is justified. [More…]
When Senator Wright was a back bench member on the Government side a Bill of this nature was introduced into the Parliament in 1965. [More…]
Notwithstanding the endeavours to exclude appeals and reviews of such awards the High Court has held that section 75 of the Constitution permits an application to be made to the High Court for a prohibition or other prerogative writ of that nature to call into question the award on the basis that those judicial or administrative officers who make it are officers of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Senator Murphy referred to the second reading speech which was made in the other place by the Minister for Labour and National Service (Mr Snedden), who said that the usual provision would be modified in favour of the unions to give them an unusual benefit whereby, in proceedings tinder sections 109 and 111, the costs of a Queen’s Counsel or a second counsel would not be allowed unless the tribunal before which the proceedings are heard specifically directs that the nature of the case warrants the employment of such counsel. [More…]
The other 2 cases to which I wish to refer - and they are widely divergent in their nature: - indicate again our inability to solve modern industrial problems. [More…]
Because of the nature of the work of a committee it may be necessary to set up sub-committees and in that event more senators may be required to serve. [More…]
Looking at it on a balance, it seems to me that the motion has appeal, particularly in relation to the size of a committee and the elasticity provided by having b goer committees to cope with work of a more important nature. [More…]
There is no machinery of a formal nature for informing Parliament of the discussions of the Committee. [More…]
It may be assumed that delays not included in this list were of a minor nature where, because of low visibility, an instrument approach was made resulting in a later landing time than normal (5 to 10 minutes). [More…]
But when we bring on an urgency motion of this nature we are accused of employing cheap political tricks. [More…]
Regulations of a similar nature could have been implemented easily, to take effect from a retrospective date if possible. [More…]
This quite often happens when one has witnesses before a committee and particularly when the information is of such a nature, of such depth and of such far ranging consequence as it was on that occasion. [More…]
The report of the House of Representatives Select Committee on Aircraft Noise is in the nature of an interim report. [More…]
In order to prevent any further inconvenience of this nature to Western Australian travellers, when it is likely that a curfew will be introduced in Western Australia? [More…]
However, as these reports almost invariably contain material of a classified nature, they are not available for general distribution. [More…]
I should imagine that all sorts of primary producer organisations, as well as others, would want to make submissions on the necessity for and the nature of any such national organisation. [More…]
We on our side of politics believe that these Senate select committees are doing a good job, but because of the nature of the subjects which are referred to them they take a considerable amount of time to bring down a report [ know that I speak on behalf of those who sit behind me when I say that if the nature of a reference to the Standing Committee envisages a report being presented within a certain period of time, this whole new structure that we are creating and which is developing in theory, perhaps consistently with what is happening in other parts of the world, may be destroyed. [More…]
That could happen if, in our first major step, we agreed to resolutions for the reference to standing committees of matters which, by their very nature, cover a wide field and involve a tremendous amount of research and study. [More…]
I think we are conscious of the fact that a select committee, by its nature, can perform functions and is equipped to do things that a standing committee, which may have a number of references, which may sit in a different manner from a select committee and which probably will not have the same opportunities for travel, is not equipped to do. [More…]
That would appear to me by its nature to contradict the point of view which has been expressed by the Senate in relation to select committees. [More…]
The Leader of the Government in the Senate during the course of his remarks said that if in the nature of the reference to the Standing Committee the Labor movement envisaged an inquiry taking a period of time similar to that taken by a select committee and if it tied the Standing Committees to a consideration of certain specific or special subjects, it might destroy what it was trying to create. [More…]
Surely the responsibility of a Senate standing committee inquiring into a matter of this nature could well be to ascertain what forms of insurance exist at present for people vitally affected by these catastrophes and to decide how the Government can supplement existing schemes. [More…]
The Minister is no doubt aware of the isolated nature of Cape Barren Island in Bass Strait, lt is often cut off from shipping in bad weather, and the aerodrome is in bad shape. [More…]
I therefore move: at end of motion add - and the Senate condemns this deceptive and negative Budget because it fails to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to (a) standards of social service and war pensioners, (b) assistance to schools, hospital and urban authorities and (c) restructuring of stricken primary industries and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature’. [More…]
It refers to a deceptive and” negative Budget and mentions that it introduces increased taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature. [More…]
Therefore if we are in the same cycle as the House of Representatives we will not incommode ourselves in relation to such things as party meetings, sub-committees of party meetings and things of that nature. [More…]
I know it is within the hands of this Senate at any time to change things but I think most of us are conservative by nature and we resist change. [More…]
I strongly doubt whether there will be adequate time for the Senate to discuss and reach conclusions on a document of this complexity and this nature in the few hours that will be available on Thursday afternoon. [More…]
1 appreciate that the people on the land have to battle wi’.h mother nature, which means coping with drought and other adverse conditions. [More…]
The Senate condemns this deceptive and negative Budget because it fails to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to (a) standards of social service and war pensioners, (b) assistance to schools, hospital and urban authorities and (c) restructuring of stricken primary industries and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature. [More…]
Senator Sim apparently supports the feudal nature of the pastoral industry and the retention of the 44-hour week for workers who are employed under appalling living conditions in the outback and remote areas in the Commonwealth. [More…]
Now comes the inevitable aftermath of the astonishing decision by the Arbitration Commission in June that the peculiarly ‘feudal1 nature of the pastoral industry should place its workers outside (he general standards of the workforce. [More…]
But the fundamental nature of the claims makes it quite certain that the station-hands will have extensive public sympathy as well as full backing from the trade union movement. [More…]
He suggested - this was suggested also by the Press at the time - that South Australia bad received in the financial sense something in the nature of a raw deal from the Commonwealth. [More…]
The fact is that this Standing Committee has been brought into being for the purpose of dealing with problems of this nature. [More…]
The general principles were discussed and on behalf of the Australian Democratic Labor Party I expressed the feelings of the Party as to the principles that should be applied in the operation of the standing committees and as to the nature of the references that should be made to them. [More…]
In broad outline, as I recall, those principles expressed that matters of very great proportion and area of investigation which would involve protracted inquiries may not be suitable, and probably would not be suitable, for a standing committee which, by the very nature of its constitution, seems more particularly adapted to specific references in a narrow field with the consequence of being able to present a report on a limited area of investigation and to report promptly for the on-going business of the Senate. [More…]
Do not let us prevent the standing committees reaching an effective decision by giving them a subject which, of its nature, requires a discoursive and continuous inquiry. [More…]
The fact that Senators are overburdened with Senate select committee work is sufficient reason to refer this matter to the Standing Committee on Health and Welfare because it has been set up to inquire into matters of this nature. [More…]
Standing committees in other countries undertake inquiries of this nature. [More…]
At end of motion adil “, and the Senate condemns this deceptive and negative Budget because it fails to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to (a) standards of social service and war pensioners, (b) assistance to schools, hospital and urban authorities and (c) restructuring of stricken primary industries, and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature”. [More…]
I do not know the actual serial number of his Liberal Party ticket, but I am quite convinced that if Senator Young or any other member of the Government parties wanted to table a list of this nature this would be looked upon as being in the general realm of pimping, lt is significant that the list should have been mentioned by Senator Young, one of the better known South Australian wheat producers, who earns additional profits over and above his parliamentary salary by growing wheat to sell to North Vietnam through mainland China. [More…]
The profit motive probably goes closer than anything else to establishing the answer to the desires of human nature. [More…]
It is human nature which tends to break down most of the theories, philosophies and solutions which we can so readily find to our problems. [More…]
Senator Sir KENNETH ANDERSONI think it would be singularly inappropriate for us to try to dictate the nature of discussions involving the Commonwealth and the States of Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia in relation to the Dartmouth Dam. [More…]
Whenever society has been menaced, the violence on the right has been more of a positive nature. [More…]
From the nature of the interjections he has made in this chamber he has indicated the things which he would like to see done. [More…]
I would be only too pleased to take part in a campaign of this nature, but I am satisfied that such a campaign is another phoney trick pulled by the Government to distract attention from its mismanagement of the Australian economy. [More…]
When will the Government wake up to the fact that Australians do not support a policy of this nature? [More…]
One would expect them to be of such a nature as would warrant preventing him from entering Australia. [More…]
If anybody with minor convictions of the nature of Mr Gregory’s convictions for activities in the civil rights movement should not be admitted to Australia, certainly the late Dr Martin Luther King should not have been admitted to this country. [More…]
I would be proud to be associated with a man like Mr Gregory who took part in a demonstration of that nature. [More…]
I do not think there would be provision of this nature in the charter or articles of association, or whatever it might be, of a private shipowner. [More…]
By its nature it is circumscribed in area. [More…]
1 knew from the very nature of the question I had asked that a fair number of figures would be involved in the answer and, realising that the mere reading of figures and percentages would not be of very much interest to the Senate, I decided not to ask for the question to be read and allowed it to be incorporated in Hansard. [More…]
The following is an extract from the supplementary statement - lt is, of course, an obvious fact that the greater part of programming for a commercial television station must be of a nature designed to attract wide audience support. [More…]
It set out certain equipment, studio facilities, video tape and things of that nature which are available for hire from TV Channel 10. [More…]
This will allow farmers to know in advance the nature and extent of the assistance they can expect. [More…]
Because one section of the community is so constituted that it is in a position to bring unified pressure of a lawless nature on the rest of the community, it can hold the rest of the community to ransom. [More…]
It is only in the past 12 months that the Bureau has attempted to collate information of this nature to try to learn just where money is being invested privately in the Commonwealth. [More…]
A substantial part of their income is eaten up by electricity charges and matters of that nature, without taking into consideration other things. [More…]
What wife of a worker or ordinary person in the community does not do work of that nature for charitable organisations, sporting organisations and bodies of that nature? [More…]
If one looks at the Australian situation since 1958 one finds that in most years the balance of trade position of Australia has been favourable, but because of invisibles such as freight, insurance, dividends and things of that nature overseas, the net current account balance has been in deficit in this country every year since 1958. [More…]
Finally, the Minister for Trade and Industry has returned only recently, as we know, from important talks in London and Brussels at which he emphasised the nature of the problem facing the canned fruits industry and indeed many other rural industries. [More…]
Does this not show America’s failure to convince Asian nations to give military aid freely, and thus illustrate clearly to the world the real nature of the Vietnam tragedy? [More…]
The oil was of a persistent nature, and washed ashore near Kurnell. [More…]
The decision to provide a loan rather than a grant was made in view of the special nature of the project and the large commercial returns expected from it. [More…]
Have operators in the main Adelaide trunk line telephone exchange taped telephone calls which were not calls of a business nature, as alleged by the South Australian Secretary of the Postal Workers Union. [More…]
of a fairly minor nature. [More…]
Because of the high cost of bringing migrants to Australia and providing them with the necessary amenities it is questionable whether they are contributing to our economic growth, and whether we can afford economic growth of this nature. [More…]
If he did, the reference was only of a minor nature. [More…]
It is in these terms: the Senate condemns this deceptive and negative Budget because it faits to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to (a) standard of social service and war pensioners, (b) assistance to schools, hospital and urban authorities, and (c) restructuring of stricken primary industries, and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature. [More…]
We did not hear anything of a constructive nature nor did he apply his mind to justifying his opposition to the Budget proposals. [More…]
We have condemned it as a deceptive and negative Budget because it fails to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to standards of social service and war pensioners, assistance to schools, hospitals and urban authorities and restructuring of stricken primary industries, and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature. [More…]
I would forget any grandiose ideas that may be going around the House about provision being made in the new wing for committee rooms or things of that nature. [More…]
I have been assured that the extra delay in processing benefit claims caused by the introduction of the new Plan is of a temporary nature only and everything possible is being done to minimise the delay. [More…]
This arrangement overcomes problems of both a legal and practical nature concerning questions of exercise and delegation of the power by the Minister. [More…]
The Bill is both desirable and of an urgent nature, and T commend it to the Senate. [More…]
The effect’ of the change is to ensure that, in cases of this nature, any refund of charges paid under the Second Schedule does not exceed the charges payable under the First Schedule in respect of the operation of the aircraft on regular public transport services. [More…]
It has been fairly evident that that is the case because of the nature of the discussion of the Budget in this postponed period of its consideration. [More…]
They have no illusions about the fact that they stand in the path of aggression of that nature from the north. [More…]
powers, as is said in physics of ^ nature, abhor a vacuum. [More…]
There are ad hoc grants, specific grants, temporary grants and things of that nature, all of which in time become a fixed financial cornmoment in the Budget. [More…]
Paragraphs (8) and (9) are practical propositions on the nature and structure of the Australian economy which, if properly handled, will be reflected in the finances of the Budget and will enable the Budget to become a real and vital document from year to year, gradually advancing the conditions of the people, gradually enriching their lives and gradually extending their opportunities. [More…]
I commend it to the Senate because of the positive nature of its proposals and because it puts forward suggestions which could be considered by the Government and which, if adopted by the Government, would in future years give it the opportunity to present Budgets which could be taken as a reflection of real advances in the community and which could inject into the nation that element of hope which is always so necessary. [More…]
The Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales and the Wild Life Preservation Society of Australia are 2 other bodies which have commended the Commitee’s report. [More…]
It involves an assessment of the nature of the effluent and of the quality of the receiving body of water, its subsequent use and its ability to digest as well as a number of other factors. [More…]
But that is not the nature of this report. [More…]
Then, very soon we will be able to go before the world demonstrating that this nation is conscious of its responsibilities to its people, to nature, to the world which, with us, is the joint heir of the beauty which nature has provided whether in this part of the world for our particular enjoyment or as a resort for others who come from other parts of the world. [More…]
In documents of this nature one normally sees no mention of the political party which publishes them. [More…]
To eliminate it you would need to change the very nature of many people. [More…]
1 believe that on an issue of this nature one could become very emotional and speak with some feeling about the present plight of Australia’s pensioners. [More…]
I am not speaking of workers on the job or anything of that nature. [More…]
I agree that it should have been done years ago, but do not forget that this Government has been in power for the last 20 years and it has not seen fit to do anything of that nature. [More…]
A government loses votes out of not doing enough for pensioners because there is always that part of human nature which claims that whatever you do is not nearly enough. [More…]
It is unfortunate that he raised this matter because one of the basic problems in any scheme administered in this country and involving human nature in any way - and I suggest that that is every scheme - is that they are subject to human foibles. [More…]
I do not believe that the State parliaments should determine issues of this nature if there is no comparable wage justice or there are no comparable payments between one State and another. [More…]
Measures of this nature should be introduced in this chamber in ample time to allow honourable senators to consider them fully. [More…]
Surely it is the responsibility of the elected representatives of the people to decide the nature of the legislation. [More…]
After listening to tonight’s debate in Committee one can realise the complexity of the regulations which govern social services and the nature of the assistance which is given under those regulations. [More…]
What action has the Government taken in this Budget to deal with problems of this nature? [More…]
There are such things as the Reserve Bank of Australia, CommonwealthState financial agreements, the Tariff Board and things of that nature. [More…]
There are equations such as the economic consequences to the nation, productivity, a needs component, and things of that nature. [More…]
I am not aware of any complaints of the nature mentioned by the honourable senator, but if he will provide me with details of individual cases of which he has knowledge I will be pleased to pass them on to the Minister for Social Services (Mr Wentworth) who will look at them. [More…]
An inquiry of this nature should be held. [More…]
1 understand that it has already told the RSL and other organisations that it will not permit an inquiry of the nature proposed by either the RSL or the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
The more often we have questions of this nature the greater the number of supporters the Government will have. [More…]
The evidence has related directly to the nature and operation of the provisions of the legislation and has comprehended many facets of the oil industry and the environmental situation in which the industry and the legislative provisions interact. [More…]
Every man should receive some sort of notification which is of a more intimate nature. [More…]
What man who has suffered a major coronary could take employment of that nature? [More…]
It is significant to note that at the first examination by naval doctors they could see that his coronary had been induced by the nature of his service, but when he came before a board on which one of these doctors served his claim was rejected because, they said, he was not entitled to a benefit. [More…]
Can the Minister inform the Senate of the details of the 6 additional charges, including the nature of the alleged offences and the imprisonment imposed for each? [More…]
I ask honourable senators to consider the nature of question time so far today. [More…]
In the course of these discussions the nature of the movement of people between the two countries received specific attention, as did the existing understanding between Australia and Canada that neither would actively recruit migrants in the country of the other. [More…]
We will certainly be moving amendments but their nature will depend on what happens during the second reading debate. [More…]
This seems to me to be entirely unfair when an increase of this nature is brought in in one step. [More…]
I propose to point out to the Senate some of the matter contained in the journal and to refer to the educational nature of this publication. [More…]
We are not so much children of nature surely that we will expect firms to accept those charges and not pass them on to the public. [More…]
as a result of increases in postal charges announced in the last Budget, is it not unfair to ask any organisation to absorb increased costs of this nature, amounting to a 175 per cent increase in a few weeks. [More…]
The opening words were: ‘This letter is unique’, lt is the first time in the 34 years that the company has been in operation that it has done anything of this nature. [More…]
this nature. [More…]
Frankly it would pay an organisation of this nature to employ a few of their own messenger boys to walk around the city and deliver the publications, posting them only to the country areas, while leaving the Post Office to carry the heavy financial responsibility of delivering the publications to the country and losing what might normally come to it on the commercial merrygoround in the city. [More…]
That is the obvious thing to happen with an organisation of this nature. [More…]
I am not going to traverse all the arguments made by other speakers appertaining to journals of this nature or in the trade union field. [More…]
Yet, because of the nature of the distribution of population in the State of Tasmania, these increases will make their task all the more difficult and represent a greater imposition in Tasmania than in the mainland States. [More…]
As valuable as the white paper is, I suggest to the Government that with Bills of this nature, Bills that are vital to the Australian community because the results coming from them will mean that heavy costs will be imposed on Australian consumers, the accounts for the previous financial year of the department involved, in this case the Postmaster-General’s Department, should be available to members when the Bills are being debated. [More…]
Bearing in mind that statement by the Auditor-General about the internal audit arrangements of the Postmaster-General’s Department, I think it is scandalous that the Government expects the Opposition to debate important matters of this nature without the Government having presented to Parliament the general accounts of the Department for the previous financial year, which ended 3 or 4 months ago. [More…]
I suggest that they are very serious statements and that when legislation of this nature is before the Senate next, certainly until the financial accounts of the department are available to us the Government should hold back the legislation. ] [More…]
Certainly on matters of this nature when it is necessary to give consideration to activities of the Postmaster-General’s Department in dealing with a Bill like this the Australian public is entitled to be better informed and have more accurate information than is contained in the material that has been made available by the Government for a discussion by the Parliament of this measure. [More…]
I do not question the efficiency of workers in the Post Office - I think that the ordinary workers in the Department do a tremendous job on behalf of the Australian community - but certainly when one hears of matters of this nature and sees them paraded publicly there is cause - without having the accounts before us - to query the efficiency of some of the modus operandi in the general administration of the Department. [More…]
A delay of that nature is not evidence of complete efficiency. [More…]
Details of the nature to which I have referred have not been made available to the Parliament. [More…]
The whole amount of any such allowance is required to be included in the assessable income of the recipient and deductions are allowed for expenses (other than those of a capital, private or domestic nature) incurred by the employee, in pursuance of the terms of the allowance, in earning his income from employment. [More…]
In practice, however, a deduction up to the amount of, for example, an expense allowance received may be allowed without detailed itemised verification in cases where the Commissioner is satisfied, either from information supplied by the taxpayer or from evidence available from other sources, that the amount of the allowance is, in relation to the employee’s other remuneration and the nature of his duties, no more than sufficient to recompense him for expenses necessarily incurred in earning his income. [More…]
(4) and (5) A declaration by an employer may serve to indicate’ the nature of expenses likely to be incurred by an employee in the performance of his duties and intended by the employer to be covered by the allowance. [More…]
The expenses incurred by the airlines in respect of individual operating costs are of a confidential business nature. [More…]
The remaining provisions are of a drafting nature designed to restore certain exemptions related to provisions in the Customs Act. [More…]
Is there any Australian import duty on products of this nature? [More…]
Depending on the country of origin, products of this nature would be subject to a general rate of duty of 30 per cent ad valorem plus a primage of 10 per cent, I understand. [More…]
I have not perused the actual section for some time but a provision of the nature referred to by the honourable senator was inserted, long before the Life Insurance Act, in life insurance legislation in order to prevent parents profiting from the death of very junior children. [More…]
In view of the comprehensive nature of the question I suggest that it be put on notice so that I can refer it immediately to the Treasurer. [More…]
That the Government has regarded them in this way is implicit from the history of the repeated presentation of Bills of this nature over the years. [More…]
The charges are repeatedly recouped by the presentation of annual bills such as this one with increased imposts of 10 per cent equated with the increased cost of landing charges and things of that nature. [More…]
A little over 12 months ago when a similar Bill to this was before the Senate the attitude of the Democratic Labor Party was that in view of the fact that a Government interdepartmental committee was investigating this question of the fair distribution of costs between the operators and the Government itself and in view of that inquiry proceeding along the lines indicated by Senator Webster the Bill was in the nature of a holding measure merely to equate costs to charges at that stage. [More…]
It is regrettable that the increasing cost from year to year has been so regular, persistent and recurrent that there have been 8 or 9 Bills of this nature each year increasing the charges by 10 per cent or thereabouts. [More…]
Suffice to say that whilst it contains some facts of quite a useful nature, in. [More…]
Basically as we all know - and the Government has said so many times in this place - the first ingredient in this problem is for representations to be made in relation to what is considered to be a situation which is beyond the capacity or the reasonable ability of a State to meet in terms of drought, disaster or something of that nature. [More…]
The intervention is on the basis- that there is a situation of disaster, drought, storm or other calamity which is in the nature of a national disaster and that it is beyond the capacity of the State concerned to meet it through its normal channels and normal sovereignty. [More…]
The question is whether something which is a charge for services may not be taxation and may not be an appropriation but may be of such a nature that the Senate is not able to amend a law in such a way as to increase that charge. [More…]
My advice was to the effect that the term charges’ usually has been interpreted traditionally as a charge imposing something of the nature of a tax, whereas a charge of this nature, although the same term is used, is really a fee for services. [More…]
Of a corresponding nature is the further test that, for convertible notes issued in Australia, the terms and conditions of the borrowing must not vary, but must remain fixed as to interest rates and general conversion terms throughout the period of the borrowing. [More…]
The Bill provides that changes in interest rates on a convertible borrowing under a provision of this nature will not have adverse taxation consequences in respect of overseas raisings in foreign currency. [More…]
As honourable senators know, a Bill of this nature comes before the Senate each year. [More…]
By their nature, the proposed reductions - greater on a percentage basis at the lower end of the scale, tapering off to nil at the higher end of the scale - are aimed at a more equitable distribution of the burden of personal income tax. [More…]
On every occasion on which Bills of this nature come forward they are, naturally, resented because of the type of taxation they impose. [More…]
I think we are all concerned at the fact that sales tax, by its nature, is an imposition across the board. [More…]
It is cumbersome because of the nature of the Acts which are required to impose the legislation. [More…]
A person whose conscientious beliefs do not allow him to engage in military duties of a combatant nature but allow him to engage in military duties of a non-combatant nature, shall not, so long as he holds those beliefs, be required to engage in duties of a combatant nature. [More…]
Could not provision be made for goods in the nature of gifts to a new country to be exempt from scrutiny, provided that no quarantine matters are in question? [More…]
Dr Guise advised the customs officer that he was carrying gifts in a hessian bag for other persons but that he did not know the nature of these gifts. [More…]
For example, New South Wales is meeting the first $4m of expenditure on drought relief in 1970-71 - that was a point 1 brought out yesterday - plus certain other expenditure of a similar nature. [More…]
In view of the unfortunate accident that has occurred - I am pleased with the Minister’s prompt action in asking for an immediate inquiry - will he at least prevent any more such planes from coming to this country until the officials of the Royal Australian Air Force are satisfied that the cause of this accident could not be of a nature that bears on the airworthiness of the aircraft still to arrive? [More…]
Those receiving training are paid weekly amounts which vary from a minimum of $25 to a maximum of $40 per week depending on the nature of the work performed. [More…]
Such consideration would of course take into account relative priorities among other proposed works of a developmental nature. [More…]
Because of the many unknown factors involvedin a highly delicate operation of this nature it is not passible to give an exact time when the blow-out will be controled. [More…]
Having regard to the comprehensive nature of the number of points involved in the honourable senator’s question, I suggest that he so direct it. [More…]
463 in which the Minister informed me that an Aborigine at Yarrabah Reserve had been sentenced to 14 days imprisonment for consuming intoxicating liquor on thereserve, and that further charges had resulted in an additional 56 days imprisonment being imposed, can the Minister give details of the 6 additional charges, including the nature of the alleged offences, and the term of imprisonment imposed for each. [More…]
This is the Standing Committee to which Senator Murphy proposes to refer this huge subject of the problems of rural industries at present and in the foreseeable future, lt has been proposed that this Standing Committee should evolve the long-term measures which should be taken to restructure rural industry and provide measures of a practicable nature for rural industry. [More…]
We of the Australian Democratic Labor Party feel, as we always have felt, that an inquiry of that nature would be the most appropriate type of inquiry to discover the fundamental problems in the structure of rural industry and that any other inquiry would be inadequate and would not have sufficient technical knowledge available to it. [More…]
These are two motions of much the same nature. [More…]
By their nature, the proposed reductions - greater on a percentage basis at the lower end of the scale, tapering off to nil at the higher end of the scale - are aimed at a more equitable distribution of the burden of personal income tax. [More…]
If there are injustices in legislation of this nature - obviously, there still appear to Senator McManus to be many injustices and anomalies - we say that it is the responsibility of governments and legislators to take some action to see that those injustices and anomalies are rectified. [More…]
We saw members of that little imbecile party crawling sometimes, running at others, and sometimes struggling across to vote with the Government because the moment it allows the Government to be defeated on issues of this nature it would be- [More…]
Because of the very nature of our airport liquor facilities, prices charged are in excess of those charged in public bars in the city. [More…]
Some of them are inherent in the very nature of primary industry in Australia. [More…]
We are a strange country in that we are a developed economic society, yet we have something of the nature of an undeveloped country’s economy because we are always searching for markets for the export of raw materials. [More…]
these problems of primary industry, to a large degree, are inherent in the very nature of this land and this land’s economy. [More…]
Does the Minister for Air suggest that committees of this nature have been set up in all of these industries to deal with their problems? [More…]
Having done this, it is then possible to increase considerably the penalties for noncompliance with a notice, and to provide for penalties of a recurring nature to apply daily whether or not oil escapes from the ship on that particular day. [More…]
It is of the nature of the society in which we live that people are ready to accept these alterations in tax rates as being the signal for a general price increase on top of the amount of tax which is imposed. [More…]
This is in the nature of a measure which would be handled by a municipal authority. [More…]
Those who would propound that proposition may be unacquainted with the fact that the nature of the tenure has nothing to do with the level of the rental. [More…]
1 do not want to foist an unnecessarily undue responsibility onto the Minister, but we of the Opposition believe that the Commonwealth Minis.tery of Housing should be enlarged more or less to encompass urban development, because to my way of thinking al a later stage the various States will be faced with all sorts of modern problems - whether they be of a pollution nature or otherwise. [More…]
That is the nature of the criticism which I make of the Bill. [More…]
In view of the contention by the Minister for Primary Industry that pesticide dangers are of a minor nature, will he confer with his colleague the Minister for Education and Science with a view to having the Wildlife Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation investigate allegations emanating from the Sommerlad Tourist Committee that aerial baiting, ostensibly to destroy dingoes, is causing the unnecessary destruction of other fauna on the New South Wales north coast? [More…]
It is the Irish nature. [More…]
Advantage has been taken here of the nature of the law. [More…]
Surely Senator Greenwood must know that a person cannot have the same costs when his capital, borrowings and everything of a financial nature in relation to production are based on an interest rate of 8 per cent whereas once they were based on an interest rate of 4 per cent. [More…]
Very often the demand by a union is not of an industrial nature but is of a political character, a matter sponsored by the trade union officials rather than by union members who give loyalty to their organisation and find often that that loyalty is prostituted in the interests of international politics. [More…]
Consequently I repeat that it is timely that an urgency motion of this nature was debated. [More…]
Public servants are always reticent about being frank because of the nature of the peculiar occupation that they have chosen - I know something of that, having been a public servant for 19 years - and it is refreshing for everyone if they get the opportunity to be frank and if we get the direct answer that we require. [More…]
His reports will show the ridiculous nature of that employment and the link with the Commonwealth organisation. [More…]
If the honourable senator is purporting to suggest in his question that the statistics which have been given have been interfered with or are inaccurate, or anything of that nature, I would have to refer that matter. [More…]
In situations of this nature there is a great need for a strong holder of wool who is able to exercise a restraining influence against these temporary depressive factors. [More…]
In view of the nature of the functions pf the Commission, it is considered that the main emphasis should be placed on commercial and technical skills. [More…]
The precise nature of the information to be supplied would be subject to the approval of the Minister for Primary Industry. [More…]
Thirdly, in addition to the revenue grants to be distributed between all the States, further grants of a general revenue nature are to be paid to particular States. [More…]
In particular, they have pointed out that perhaps one half of their capital expenditure is on works that are generally of a non-revenue producing nature. [More…]
Let us have it that people in the profession are entitled to act in any capacity in which they see fit - to concentrate on conveyancing, to be a trial lawyer, to do taxation work or something of that nature. [More…]
In the nature of things it has little to do except manage, control and act on behalf of members of the bar. [More…]
It is unreal and unworkable to seek to establish an undivided profession when so much in their history and nature indicate that the best services the legal profession can provide are achieved from a divided profession. [More…]
We are faced then with the position, if this ordinance is to be rejected, of an attempt to impose upon a situation something which by its establishment and nature has not operated in that way. [More…]
A person whose conscientious beliefs do not allow him to engage in military duties of a combatant nature but allow him to engage in military duties of a non-combatant nature, shall not, so long as he holds those beliefs, be required to engage in duties of a combatant nature. [More…]
The Act contains a similar provisions if he has conscientious beliefs that do not allow him to engage in military duties of a combatant nature but allow him to engage in military duties of a non-combatant nature. [More…]
As long as he holds those beliefs he shall not be required to engage in duties of a combatant nature. [More…]
Regulation 31 provides that a person who claims that he holds the conscientious belief to which I have referred may make application for an order directing that he be registered as a person who is exempt from liability to render service under the Act or who is not required to engage in duties of a combatant nature. [More…]
Senator Cavanagh seems to have suggested, although he was not very clear, that if a provision of this nature is to be implemented it should not be by way of regulation. [More…]
Prior to the bringing down of the regulation about which we are speaking this afternoon, the position has been that a person who believed that he held a conscientious objection of such a nature as to fall within the definition of a conscientious objection set out in our law is able to make application to a court to be recognised as a conscientious objector. [More…]
In this case the court made a decision of a very serious nature, that is. [More…]
I think it is fair to say that in the long run we recognised that: the nature of the rights and liberties which were affected were of an insubstantial character, having regard to the fact that a person at all times has a right to make a claim for exemption. [More…]
The last inquiry of this nature was conducted in the late 1940s. [More…]
The accelerating nature of a tax such as this would have imposed a particularly heavy burden on those who live in the far flung parts of our State. [More…]
In the meantime the Government sponsored an inquiry into the nature and classification of awards in colleges of advanced education by a committee under the chairmanship of Mr F. M. Wiltshire. [More…]
Otherwise, we should be very careful of our responsibilities in agreeing to include a provision of this nature in Commonwealth legislation. [More…]
I think it is significant to consider the nature of the Commission itself. [More…]
Again I feel that I should point out, as I have done once or twice before in this chamber, the basic nature of the wool industry to the Australian scene. [More…]
To control or direct the flow of wool means simply that at any time in the buying year there will be available to users of wool in the world adequate quantities of the types that may be in demand and there will not be situations in which the market will find itself overloaded with a type of wool which is out of demand - probably temporarily - or has been over-supplied due to seasonal conditions and things of that nature. [More…]
I suggest that the Commission’s broad sweep of power must involve it in a capacity and, 1 should imagine, a will to revitalise and change the nature and direction of wool promotion. [More…]
All Government supporters say that it is most important, but I wonder whether the people of Australia know that it was introduced into another place at 8 o’clock last Wednesday night and that the Government required its passage by Thursday, leaving approximately 24 hours in which to discuss an important measure of this nature. [More…]
I refer to such things as micro-measurement, core testing and things of that nature. [More…]
In situations of this nature there is a great need for a strong holder of wool who is able to exercise a restraining influence against these temporary depressive factors. [More…]
By the very nature of his calling he is separated by distance from his neighbour. [More…]
1 think that by a provision of this nature being included in a Bill of this nature, a very important national Bill, the Executive is undermining the authority of Parliament, because the Executive and the bureaucracy is answerable to Parliament, ft is unbelievable to me that here we have a Hill which contains a clause of this nature where a person being appointed to a statutory commission for whatever period it might be, cannot be determined by the Minister but can be determined by 3 members of that Commission because the quorum of the Commission is 5. [More…]
It is ail very well for the Minister for Air (Senator Drake-Brockman), who represents the Minister for Primary Industry in this chamber, and the Minister for Works to speak about confidence and trust and things of this nature. [More…]
I hope it will never happen again, but it is always possible for something of this nature to happen. [More…]
Frankly, I think the rights of this Parliament would be undermined if a provision of this nature were to be included in the legislation. [More…]
I believe that a person appointed to a statutory commission of this nature - of any nature for that matter, but more particularly of this nature - should be appointed with the approval of the Minister. [More…]
1 do not accuse anyone of being corrupt or in any way dishonest, but we are dealing with human beings and with the weaknesses and frailties of human nature. [More…]
I think it is unfair for the Minister to introduce a Bill of this nature which allows for remunerations and allowances to be fixed by the prescribing of regulations. [More…]
A member who is directly or indirectly interested in a contract made or proposed to be made by the Commission, otherwise than as a member of, and in common with the other members of, an incorporated company consisting of not less than twenty-five persons shall, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Commission. [More…]
We think that, if a member has an interest in a contract made or proposed to be made by the Commission, he should disclose to the Commission at a meeting of the Commission the relevant facts and the nature of the interest. [More…]
In order to prevent any further inconvenience of this nature to Western Australian travellers, when is it likely that a curfew will be introduced in Western Australia. [More…]
I will be glad, in Committee, to give honourable senators a more detailed explanation of the provisions of the Bill, many of them of a highly technical nature. [More…]
Certain questions were addressed to me about the nature of a standing committee. [More…]
A subsequent inspection by the Department’s Chief Architect confirmed the presence of rising dampness of a relatively minor nature in portion of the external leaf of the southern and western walling and also al the base of the front porch brick pier. [More…]
Division’s argument was that all that is required is something of a relatively minor nature which involves an expenditure of $45. [More…]
It astounds me that a government can be so inhuman in a matter of this nature. [More…]
The very depth and nature of work being done in these committees, which involve travelling from place to place, hearing evidence, having it documented, having witnesses under cross-examination, having necessary equipment with us, having the Hansard staff to accompany us, entail a very expensive procedure but it is part of the business of government as we believe it to be. [More…]
There is a conflict between progress, development and improved communication facilities which are desired by some people and the wishes of other people who seek to retain, as closely as possible, the pristine state of nature that Canberra was in when they first came here. [More…]
Does the Minister agree that the road toll is now so high in deaths and injuries that it must be regarded as being in the nature of a permanent national disaster? [More…]
We members of the Opposition have a responsibility to a large number of unions, and when unions request us to seek information of this nature, and it is not readily forthcoming, one can understand the reasons for suspicion on the part of unions and union members. [More…]
We have not been told for how long we will be committed to giving this aid or what the nature of the aid is to be. [More…]
I would like to have any information that can be obtained on the nature of the defence aid which is to go to South Vietnam. [More…]
Tt is for each department which has a requirement for a government building to put forward a proposal, and if it is of a major nature it goes before the Government. [More…]
If it is of a minor nature it goes before the Department itself, lt is in that process that a department may bring a public works proposal into the civil works programme. [More…]
I recognise the explanation by the Minister that the Department was not employing its quota of apprentices under the various awards because its capability to train them is somewhat limited by virtue of the nature of the work that it does. [More…]
1 claimed that it was not and could not play its part in such a scheme by virtue of the nature of its operations. ] [More…]
A good deal of our day labour activity does not lend itself readily to apprentice training because of its widely scattered nature, the small numbers of people generally with whom we have to work within Australia and the comparatively high incidence of unskilled people in our day labour force. [More…]
The mere fact that this Committee carried a resolution of this nature would be a reasonable warning. [More…]
I cannot understand the fatheadedness of the Minister in giving his approval to laws of this nature. [More…]
The Public Order Ordinance indicates by its penalties its oppressive nature. [More…]
When I last visited the Territory and saw the low quality of the water that was going into one of the reservoirs which was being constructed outside Port Moresby, and the high quality of the purified water that was going out of the reservoirs, I thought what a wonderful contribution was being made to the health and well being of the native people simply by the construction of public works of an essential fundamental nature. [More…]
I think it had some words to say about the nature of this legislation. [More…]
To illustrate my point, under Division 350 - Administrative we find sub-division i - Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salary - which is broken up into item 01, salaries and allowances; item 02, overtime; and item 03, Secretary - salary, after which the amount is designated. [More…]
A nature conservation ordinance is being drafted to replace the Animals and Birds Protection Ordinance. [More…]
Ex-servicemen may be hospitalised in departmental institutions or in non-departmental institutions at repatriation expense, for treatment of disabilities accepted as related to war service, irrespective of whether the disabilities are of an acute or chronic nature. [More…]
The essential requirement in such cases is that the man shall have raised the question envisaged in the legislation as to whether he is entitled to exemption from military service or from combatant military duties.It is for the court to determine the nature of the beliefs which the man holds and the depth and sincerity with which he holds them. [More…]
I believe that as a result of that the way will be paved for a much smoother resumption of properties than is usually the case in matters of this nature. [More…]
Where is it contemplated that the work will be done, and if it is work of a practical nature within the industry itself, why is it being undertaken by the Department of Primary Industry and not by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation? [More…]
However, I am curious to know details of the proposed capital works for the Postmaster-General’s Department in respect of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board and the Australian Broadcasting Commission which, under the Broadcasting and Television Act, incur expenditure on work of a capital nature. [More…]
It seems strange to those people who move in areas where Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders live that there is no evidence of expenditure of a nature which reaches the individual Aboriginal. [More…]
These advocacies have been generally of a pressure group’ nature, some of their most vocal proponents being from other States, and without any real responsibility or indeed consideration for the persons affected by the doctrines espoused. [More…]
It is clear that a committee of this nature would have to act on an advisory basis and it would certainly be wrong if the conduct of the nation’s affairs, whether in education or any other matter, were to be taken out of the hands of the elected representatives of the people and handed over to a committee, however responsible, however erudite and conscientious the members of the committee may be. [More…]
It should be the type of committee which regularly presents reports to Parliament on the nature of its activities. [More…]
I do not think it follows from this by any means that the Minister would be wrong to disagree with the Committee but at the same time if a committee of this nature is giving advice to the Minister, the Parliament and the people of Australia are entitled to know precisely what is being recommended to the Minister, why the Committee is making certain recommendations to the Minister and why the Minister rejects if he does, the recommendations of the Committee. [More…]
When we gel to the stage of direct control of $250,000 for general research in education, surely it is prudent to constitute an advisory committee of an informal nature to advise the Minister as to the fields to which he should accord priority and in which money should be expended. [More…]
Those who are familiar with the Territory will realise that because of its mountainous nature, particularly in the highland areas or the areas away from the immediate vicinity of the coast, the construction of roads is a major task. [More…]
They are of such a nature that if we had sufficient room in this building we would have added further sections to the Library. [More…]
We owe a debt of gratitude to the dining room staff and people of that nature, the messengers and the staff around this building, the people who keep the boilers going or do something else, many of whom we do not see often but who all play their part right down the line. [More…]
The Prime Minister’s Department is a very busy department and I should’ not imagine that it would employ people whose sole purpose is to read fiction stories , or books of that nature. [More…]
I think that it is important to recognise the nature of the obligation which Australia has in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea. [More…]
So far as decisions by Australia are required as to the nature of possible future forms of association that would be acceptable to Australia, such decisions cannot be made now, but should be made at the appropriate time by the Government of the day in the light of the circumstances then existing. [More…]
I suggest, in all sincerity, that for Government supporters to move a motion of the nature moved here this afternoon in this chamber is a negation of all things that are democratic, lt is a negation of the freedom to Which these people are entitled. [More…]
The University Council also recommended a further undergraduate representative, but the Government believes that, having regard to the nature and composition of the Council and its methods of operation, the measures it proposes will provide adequate representation for undergraduates. [More…]
1 took the opportunity to discuss cases of this nature with officials of the British [More…]
In view of the severity of the effects of drought being experienced by many property owners in country areas of Queensland, will he make representations for loans to be made available at low interest rates to those who desire to borrow money for the purposes of re-stocking, land clearing, water conservation and matters of this nature? [More…]
I think in any area of business when a transaction of that nature is being carried on both the buyer and seller have obligations not to disclose prices. [More…]
In the defintions clause, clause 3. the intention of the definition ‘capital equipment of an educational nature’ is where the need for special classes is established that State and independent schools will be provided with Commonwealth funds to purchase equipment of the language laboratory type. [More…]
Whilst a number of the proposals encompassed in the Bill are only of a machinery nature, nonetheless broadcasting and television affect every home and every family throughout the Commonwealth. [More…]
It appears to me that one transaction of this nature was approved by the Government, that other companies set out to follow suit, the precedent having been established, and therefore this legislation was introduced. [More…]
Some people in this debate today will make, and some outside in the community already have made, the comment that we have mistaken the nature of the problem, that we have seen this as a cost-push inflation and blame everything on wage increases - I have tried to be fair and not do that - whereas in truth it is a demand inflation. [More…]
We have been gagged by the very nature of this debate. [More…]
(b. c. d) Up to 31st December, 567 applicants had been granted exemption from the liability to render service as conscientious objectors and 293 had been granted exemption from duties of a combatant nature. [More…]
During the drafting of the new Agreement the opportunity will be taken to effect these adjustments, which are largely of a technical or drafting nature and will have no bearing on the principles on which the Agreement is based. [More…]
1 should think that most Australians would agree that it is impracticable to guess the nature of the housing demands some Years hence and the areas or regions in which the homes will be required. [More…]
Without drastic action of a very socialistic nature it would be impossible to control land costs near the centres of our capital cities. [More…]
However, I want to make it quite clear that an inquiry of this nature would be most unlikely to serve any useful purpose. [More…]
Prior to Senator Hannan making his speech I was made aware of the fact that he had a considerable background and experience in the field of broadcasting in Australia as a member of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board, so I was looking forward to the comments he would be making because one would have assumed that with a background of that nature, coupled with a legal background, we would have heard an intelligent and well informed contribution to the debate. [More…]
We see that there is provision in the legislation for the control and audit of accounts and also with regard to the disposal of property and other matters of that nature. [More…]
However, I do not know the precise nature of the reduced expenditures planned by the Prime Minister’s Department. [More…]
I am saying that the proposed section gives power of delegation to officers of the Commission or to the Commission except in relation to the appointment of officers of the Commission and in relation to the power of delegation itself, lt would appear that under this provision the Commission, as a commission, or the General Manager of the Commission must approve every appointment to the Commission - be the appointment that of a junior clerk who has just left school and who has joined the Commission for the first time., a stenographer or any appointment of that nature. [More…]
The University Council also recommended a further undergraduate representative, but Government supporters stated in their speeches on this Bill that the Government believed that having regard to the nature and composition of the Council and its methods of operation the measures the Government proposed would be adequate so far as undergraduate students were concerned. [More…]
Everywhere there is discontent among university populations about the conduct of universities and the way they are controlled, about the contents of courses and about the very nature of the institutions. [More…]
If it is not able to make a proper decision on matters of this nature, one would think that it is not fit to run a university. [More…]
However, he will recall that yesterday, in answering a question of a similar nature, I pointed out that the Government made this emergency grant available to wool growers because of the drought conditions prevailing throughout Australia and because of the drastic fall in wool prices. [More…]
Charter operators who hold exemptions of this nature are known as ‘commuter operators’ in this country. [More…]
There are currently 26 holders of charter licences operating services in Australia and Papua and New Guinea under exemptions of this nature. [More…]
Such a Bill also incorporates necessary amendments of a noncontentious nature. [More…]
Having regard to other drafting tasks of a more urgent nature, it has nol been and is nol likely soon to be practicable to undertake the drafting of such a Bill. [More…]
1 am rather surprised that the honourable senator should think that an amendment of this kind is needed in respect of a Bill of this nature. [More…]
For instance- if an amendment of this nature were incorporated who would decide whether a student newspaper had a proper content. [More…]
Human nature is such that there is nothing more conducive to properly balanced attitudes than the assumption of responsibility and a sense oE personal obligation and belonging. [More…]
The Australian National University has been given power to make statutes in the nature of regulations or ordinances as we are used to them for the conduct of the University. [More…]
University statutes are a kind of delegated legislation, so that there would be a university statute in the nature of a law, setting out matters with respect, for example, to the resignation of members of the Council. [More…]
Here it means that although the Council makes something in the nature of law, its university statute must first obtain the approval of the Government before it is to operate. [More…]
Lorna Gold was a very capable person with a quiet and friendly nature that made her a pleasure to be associated with. [More…]
It may be something in the nature of a Bill. [More…]
1 am aware that there is a difference between Senator Murphy and myself on the nature of the references that should be made to the standing committees. [More…]
I am sure that when the Minister sees the nature of the questions he shall see that there is no foundation in the information that has been given to him to the effect that the processing of these answers will lake time. [More…]
One will see the nature of the matter that concerns me by referring to the series of articles which appeared in the Sydney Daily Mirror’ on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. [More…]
Has Mr S. Davey, a Field Research Officer of the Aboriginal Advancement League of Victoria, been refused permission to enter reserves at Derby and Broome in Western Australia for the purpose of discussing employment conditions with persons living on the reserves; if so, and as Mr Davey is a person of good repute and has devoted his life to the cause of Aborigines, will the Minister use his good offices in ensuring that restrictions of this nature are not placed on Mr Davey in the future. [More…]

[More…]
If that is the case, surely it is entirely wrong for a provision of that nature to be in any Bill whatsoever. [More…]
What could be the situation with a provision of this nature in the Bill? [More…]
The fact that it is in other Acts of a cognate nature does not necessarily justify its being in this or any other Act. [More…]
Nevertheless, obviously there is a good reason why it should appear in a statute of this nature as has been suggested by Senator Withers. [More…]
The clause does not say that the averment shall be conclusive evidence or anything of that nature, lt merely says that it shall be evidence which is, perhaps, an averment at the most minimal level. [More…]

The action of sending Vietnamese troops into Laos in order to decrease the loss of American forces, as is President Nixon’s declaration, reveals the submissive nature of Nguyen Van Thieu’s government, using the lives of Vietnamese young men as cannon fodder for the American expeditionary soldiers in Indo China.

Let us not have a departure or a compromise of this nature which does not go to the rationale of the provisions. [More…]
As one who intimated that a way might be found through the difficulty created by the fact that originally the Bill was introduced with a limitation of 5 years from the date of the commission of the alleged offence and that Senator Murphy has suggested that the limitation imposed under the Crimes Act for offences of this nature under Commonwealth law should properly apply, I believe that the period of 3 years may be not inappropriate - not as a matter of compromise but as a matter of practical quittance from what are the real circumstances and difficulties surrounding the investigation and detection of offences of this nature. [More…]
Senator Murphy makes the point , it is a valid one , that the general Commonwealth law prescribes a period of 12 months in relation to the commission of offences of this nature. [More…]
If we turn to the general principles established and find for example that in the provisions contained in the Crimes Act a prescription of 12 months appears, should we not ask: Why should a comparatively minor Bill of this nature seek to extend that period to 5 years; equally, why should the compromise amendment propose 3 years. [More…]

[More…]
It seems to me to be a most inappropriate matter to go to a committee because, by its nature, it would definitely intrude into the committee grave political differences, and I feel, that in .view of the attitude of senators sitting, behind Senator Murphy in relation to other committees of this Senate where, the.

He has to know also whether, having regard to all the circumstances of the obstruction or interference, including its place, time, duration and nature, the obstruction constitutes an unreasonable obstruction. [More…]

The question of whether or not an obstruction is unreasonable depends upon whether a court determines that the act or thing being done by a person amounts in all the circumstances of the obstruction or the interference, which it must be, is unreasonable having regard to the place, the time, the duration and the nature. [More…]
The point raised by Senator James McClelland is one with which I agree completely and one which I believe should be fundamental to any Bill of this nature. [More…]

[More…]
In this case it would be a clause capable of being construed as referring to an obscenity or indecency, or something else of an offensive nature. [More…]

This is the part that I still do not understand as to what is the nature of the objection to clause 21. [More…]
Too many incidents of this nature are occurring. [More…]
Why I say that in relation to this measure is that this is a Government measure concerned with one of its most important programmes - a campaign on law and order which it launched - yet after the long time it took to give birth to this unwelcome infant it did not dare to have an appendage in it of this nature. [More…]
Now an amendment is proposed which is in its nature vicious. [More…]
Many of these, however, were minor in nature, involving small quantities of oil, and were easily cleaned up by the offending vessel or the port authority. [More…]
The offenders in 110 incidents, the majority of which could be classed as minor in nature, were not detected. [More…]

I draw the attention of honourable senators to the Hansard report of 26th August 1970 which shows that Senator Murphy moved the following motion: at end of motion add - and the Senate condemns this deceptive and negative Budget because it fails to meet the real needs of the Australian people, especially with respect to (a) standards of social service and war pensioners, (b) assistance to schools, hospitals and urban authorities and (c) restructuring of stricken primary industries and because it introduces and increases taxes and charges of a regressive and inequitable nature.’ [More…]
These 3 Bills are most important in their nature. [More…]
They were debated quite extensively in another place by my colleagues in the Labor Party and although I think an occasion of this nature could properly be used for one to express one’s view on the nature of education, one’s philosophy on education and one’s Party’s views as to how the education of this country should be conducted, because of the lateness of the hour and the fact that we are almost at the end of the sessional period I do not intend to detain the Senate at any great length in debating these matters. [More…]
The other matter to which I wish to refer again very briefly relates to the nature of technical training. [More…]
But although there is a side of the Australian security markets which is particularly depressing I should like to say that the Committee is encouraged by the evidence, slowly mounting, that a public debate is beginning in Australia on the nature and extent of the abuses within the security markets. [More…]
They can influence the nature and extent of abuses and malpractices; but they can also influence the fundamental structure and organisation of these markets. [More…]
The directory contains a mass of rather indigestible material of a telegraphic and telephonic nature and much postal information. [More…]
Colour designations, colour differentials and things of that nature are employed. [More…]
A committee of this nature, having departmental officers before it and perhaps being able to call in aid the technical advice of publication and printing experts, may well be able to come up with some format which will be much more functional, which will show a proper dissection of information by the use of colour and more modern presentation techniques, and generally will soothe the shattered nerves of members of the Australian nation who have resort to the telephone directory. [More…]
No recreational centres or facilities of this nature have been provided. [More…]
With all the sophistication of our present day legislation and matters of that nature I do not know whether we have improved in the field of housing. [More…]
They agree that something of this nature should be planned but they have no money to put into these areas. [More…]
They want to do something of this nature. [More…]
Some remarks were made by Senator Poyser about the nature of the Bill and the occasion for it. [More…]
On several occasions in the last couple of years the Australian Labor Party has moved motions of this nature, varying only in their terms. [More…]
It is not that we are standing here criticising the competence or the efficiency of the Fill as a technical exposition or anything of that nature. [More…]
The nature of fresh cherries precludes their import and as the present duties on them are negligible the Board considers that no change is warranted. [More…]
I do not think the Board would be unreasonable if an application of that nature were made to it. [More…]
There should not be delays of this nature. [More…]
I think we should examine the nature of the assistance that is to be provided. [More…]
that such corporation should bc especially structured to the cyclical nature of rural production and should provide outgoing finance by way of low interest loans over a repayment period up to 25 years; [More…]
I was going to say that I welcome the Bill which we are considering but I do not think that we should welcome a Bill of this nature because, having regard to the disastrous circumstances in which primary industry finds itself, there is nothing very much to be cheerful about in what is essentially a salvage operation. [More…]
I like the provisions set out under the heading ‘Nature of assistance’. [More…]
However, I believe one would need to be a child of nature to suggest that something of that kind is not occurring. [More…]
As Senator Maunsell has said, these people are in dire difficulties and if interest charges of such a substantial nature are to be imposed the scheme must fail, because it will not assist the people it is designed to assist. [More…]
Paragraph (3) (c) gives details of the nature of the assistance to be furnished. [More…]
But providing he meets either condition of eligibility - I want honourable senators particularly to note this - the nature of assistance to be provided h a loan on such conditions as to interest rate, if any, and repayment as are determined by the Authority up to a maximum of $1,000 in any one case’. [More…]
I am sure of that, and I think the honourable senator knows that the immediate loan demands of the rural industries are nothing of that nature. [More…]
That such Corporation should be especially structured to the cylical nature of rural production and should provide on-going finance by way of low interest loans over a repayment period up to 25 years; [More…]
The Administrator’s Executive Council was of the opinion that the Board’s recommendations as to the level of the wage and to the suggested reforms of a more general nature would have farreaching effects and are of national importance. [More…]
So we have a situation now in which we are bringing in legislation of a depression year nature to save once magnificent industries that were of great value to Australia. [More…]
Very little action of any positive nature appears to have been taken over the past several years to solve the problems, or even to provide some amelioration of them, for those engaged in rural industries in Australia. [More…]
Clause 3 of Part IV reads as follows: (31 Nature of Assistance [More…]
No-one in his right mind in this country at the moment, in this affluent society, would regard $2,000 a year as a reasonable reward for a working week of that nature. [More…]
We have said, and we reiterate, that this is not by its nature a short term solution. [More…]
I now ask the Minister: What was the nature of the Government’s objection to this convention? [More…]
that such corporation should be especially structured to the cyclical nature of rural production and should provide outgoing finance by way of low interest loans over a repayment period up to 25 years; and [More…]
Agricultural products are not in any way comparable with trade and industry, due to the nature and the length of the operations involved, to the rate of yield, to the variable conditions such as weather, disease and so on, to demand, to investment in land, the equipment and to the available transport facilities. [More…]
These are the immediate short term solutions: The availability of finance through a specifically structured finance corporation adapted to the cyclical nature of the rural industries, the relief from estate duty of rural producers in particular - and perhaps everybody in general - and that estate duty should cease to be a field of operation of the Federal Government, and certainly the dual incidence of estate duty should be abandoned. [More…]
Although the Government may have considered them, there has been nothing of a positive nature coming from discussions. [More…]
The reason which has been advanced is that the elimination of estate duty should be considered as a separate matter in the whole conspectus of Federal duties and should not merely be tagged on to a Bill of this nature or to any Bill of any other nature applying to rural industries. [More…]
Banks are not required to furnish informa tion of this nature, nor that requested in sub-item (4) of the question. [More…]
Whooping cough epidemics and things of that nature ought not to occur and would not occur if there was a proper immunisation campaign carried out, but it has not been carried out in many parts of the Territory. [More…]
Malaria and other diseases of a tropical nature have been controlled in the areas of heavy population but in other areas they still have not been controlled. [More…]
It is my belief that these Bills are of such a nature that there should be either a full scale analytical debate with considerable time given to the Committee stages of the Bills or, alternatively, little debate at all. [More…]
If the municipal council fails to pay payroll tax, that amount may well be deducted from the amount which is given to the State even though under the Victorian Local Government Act the State Government has no direct financial control over the budgets of the local municipal councils or any other public body of a like nature. [More…]
I do not think there can be any real dispute that restrictive practices and agreements of the nature of resale price maintenance are widespread throughout Australia and that they are injurious to the community. [More…]
It is designed, rather, to appeal to uninformed members of the general public, unaware and unadvised of the true nature of the risks run - persons with limited capital who are led to part with that capital by promise and hopes, which are seldom, if ever, fulfilled. [More…]
In those circumstances there may be developing there patterns which even legislation of this nature would do little to affect and in that case again the battle will go on, because new commercial methods will be designed and will emerge which in turn will have the effect of evading legislation of what we consider to be of a fairly embracive character today. [More…]
Again without dogmatising, I do not know to what extent a Bill of this nature should operate to control an economic situation. [More…]
Perhaps by proper operation of the Bill it will at all times have the consequence that it will stabilise the economy, because that is the very nature of the principle embodied in it. [More…]
These goods cannot be produced en masse; they are by their nature the product of one man’s or one woman’s ability or genius. [More…]
Will the Minister inform the Senate of the precise nature of the rules to which the Minister for Immigration referred in that statement or, failing that, will the Minister table a complete set of these rules, for the information of all honourable senators, before the Senate rises for the winter recess? [More…]
I do not intend to allow Senator Little’s guttersnipe interjections to deter me on a matter of this nature. [More…]
I had not intended to enter this debate until I heard charges of sectarianism and that the nature of the amendment moved by the Opposition was a lie. [More…]
The Department of Education and Science, whose advice and assistance we have, is particularly scrupulous to ensure that expenditure of this nature is not made where it is not warranted. [More…]
Will the Government then come to their rescue with loans of this nature? [More…]
Whenever we have asked questions about this matter we have been told that deficiencies of this nature have been due to changes in the compensation law in the various States. [More…]
I believe that is understandable in the building trades industry, where there are so many jobs of a dangerous nature to be done. [More…]
There is no provision of that nature in the new South Australian Act. [More…]
1 think the general position these days is that if a person is, by the nature of his employment, centred upon a particular State, it does not matter where his employment occasionally might take him; he is still covered under the State legislation. [More…]
the nature of the injury; and [More…]
My remarks have been in the nature of a general comment on the 20-year entitlement period. [More…]
Does it include employment in hospitals and organisations of that nature? [More…]
Albeit, the figures of unemployment across Australia are very low and, having regard to the nature of our economy and the fact that ours is a primary producing country, apart from isolated areas, they represent a state of full employment. [More…]
The procedures in relation to matters of this nature are denned quite clearly. [More…]
Western Australia and which states a case for the rejection of an application by Trans-Australia Airlines for permission to operate air services within Western Australia and between Perth and Darwin: Has the Minister been advised that the precise nature of the TAA application is not a matter of public knowledge? [More…]
Will the Minister make the precise nature of the TAA application available to the public in view of the inference that Ansett Transport Industries Ltd has knowledge of it? [More…]
Did the Minister recently publicly state that it is his responsibility to ensure that the rules are observed and further divergence from them will not be allowed; if so, what is the precise nature of the rules which the Minister referred to? [More…]
Because of the highly competitive nature of markets for tropical agricultural commodities, Papua New Guinea has only limited scope for diverting exports from its traditional market in Britain. [More…]
Mr Rippon, the British Minister in Charge of negotiations with the Community subsequently stressed the unique nature of the Papua New Guinea case in addressing the Council of Ministers in Brussels during February’ 1971. [More…]
We have some indication that the European Commission and the member Governments of the Six now fully understand the unique nature of the Papua New Guinea case and the gravity of the damage that could be inflicted on Papua New Guinea’s trade in the absence of appropriate arrangements. [More…]
The main reason for the industry’s desire to standardise this section of flying school operations manuals is to provide reduction of frustration which minor differences in this nature may cause to the student concerned. [More…]
There we have a suppression on the part of Senator Murphy of any reference to the unlawfulness of the trade union action and the citation of 2 pages which are of a sound historical introductory nature which point up where we really find the reason for Senator Murphy’s fire. [More…]
In Vietnam Moratorium Campaigns we have had 3 occasions on which there have been widespread stoppages of work, involving terrific loss, in support of a matter which is purely a political one and which, by its nature, should be left for decision by the nation’s Parliament. [More…]
The Pensioner Medical Service was introduced to provide eligible pensioners, and their dependants, with free medical treatment of a general practitioner nature. [More…]
The Pensioner Medical Service was introduced to provide pensioners with a basic medical service of a general practitioner nature and it was not intended that the Service should provide a full range of medical treatment. [More…]
For this reason many of the problems that have confronted the Commission in the past have been mainly developmental in nature. [More…]
1 wish to stress the point that the Committee believes that the Parliament is really of paramount importance in this country and that, in consequence, anything of a very important and far-reaching nature should be considered by the Parliament in debate. [More…]
Only rarely, in comparison with the large number of matters brought before the Committee, does it present reports of the nature of the report before the Senate at the moment. [More…]
In those circumstances 1 do not think the Committee was unreasonable in coming here, without reporting to the Senate in this matter, and saying that without an examination of the merits of the legislation it is considered to be clearly of so important a nature that it ought to be dealt with by legislation. [More…]
The fact that an ordinance has been brought forward which not only attempts to collect many of the statutory provisions relating to the taking of evidence in the Australian Capital Territory but also writes in some new principles, including the new principle relating to the use of computers, would indicate that the nature of the law of evidence and its import is appreciated by those who have the responsibility of administering it in this part of Australia, namely, the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Committees of this nature can develop an oversensitivity. [More…]
After listening to 4 or 5 very distinguished members of the legal profession one is hesitant as a layman, to enter a debate of this nature. [More…]
The main reason why the Committee has brought this matter forward is that members of the Committee feel that the Ordinance is of a sufficiently substantial nature to be dealt with by way of legislation. [More…]
It was made quite clear in the Agreements that this division was not to be of a .permanent nature, that in no way was it to be construed from the Agreements that there were 2 separate states. [More…]
The second argument, which is probably more honest but at the same time much more contemptible and undesirable, was that we were part of some great American alliance, whose nature is usually unspecified. [More…]
This is contrary to our nature. [More…]
With respect to him, I do think that there has been a total misconception on his part of the function and nature of the Senate itself and of the Senate as a part of the legislature. [More…]
It is a part of the functions of this place that a report of that nature is brought to the attention of the legislature and debated if anybody wishes to debate it. [More…]
The Standing Orders Committee considered this matter and thought that there should be a limitation in order to have a real regard to the urgent nature of a motion. [More…]
When we consider the amendment it is a matter of considering what ls the nature of an urgency motion and what principles or canons should apply to its form, its time of presentation, the mode of its debate and ultimate deliberation and decision. [More…]
That body of support has to be satisfied that the matter is, by its nature, urgent. [More…]
The concept pf the Standing Orders is that it shall lie within the judgment of a sena tor, provided he gets this body of support, to determine whether the matter he brings forward is of such a nature as to attract the attenion, discussion and deliberation of the Senate. [More…]
I know that honourable senators may find it somewhat inconvenient that notices of an urgent character have been presented by the Democratic Labor Party on a number of occasions, but I am sure that no-one can dispute that not one of those notices could be considered as of other than an urgent nature. [More…]
Is it the position that on Thursday last the Senate disallowed an ordinance on the simple ground that it dealt with matters of such an important nature that the law should be enacted by Parliament and not by an executive ordinance? [More…]
Even if the Attorney-General or, as would be the actual practice, one of his officers were to give all these matters the utmost consideration and to examine them with the greatest conscientiousness, they are, by the very nature of circumstances, not as appropriate as a parole board to exercise this jurisdiction. [More…]
For example, the Attorney-General who, of course, has many problems on his plate - I do not think I will hear from the Attorney-General any dissent from that proposition - would not, in the nature of things, be able to give to this matter the consideration that would be given to it by a board specially set up for the purpose. [More…]
I am not suggesting that this is a political prejudice or anything of that nature. [More…]
It is quite apparent that if measures of this nature were brought into the Parliament in the form of Bills we could, if we wanted to change some provision, rectify it then and there by way of an amendment. [More…]
There are persons in the law school at the Australian National University who are skilled in matters of this nature. [More…]
If they are the kind of experienced persons who ought to be making decisions of this nature they should be appointed to do so. [More…]
As far as this chamber is concerned, once an Ordinance of this nature is made it is permanent. [More…]
As I understand the position, the volume of work, the complicated character and many-sided nature of the various duties which devolve upon Ministers are such that some assistance for some Ministers is highly desirable. [More…]
That is the nature of the role which Assistant Ministers are to perform and in this place there is one Assistant Minister to be appointed with the specific obligation of assisting the Leader of the Government in the Senate. [More…]
Having regard to the nature of the conference 1 would not think it appropriate at this stage to go into the deliberations. [More…]
But having regard to the elaborate nature of the question I ask the honourable senator to put it on notice so that an appropriately elaborate answer can be furnished for his information. [More…]
At the request of the Leader of the Government in the Senate I give the honourable senator the following answer, namely, that precision is most desirable in answer to a question of that nature. [More…]
I think it is fair to suppose, therefore, that a number of honourable senators in this chamber may have cast their vote on the assumption that the consequences which were to ensue were of the character which I had mentioned and not of the serious nature which in fact has subsequently transpired. [More…]
One would have expected that legislation of a temporary nature would have been presented this morning and that copies of the Bill would have been circulated. [More…]
However the Bill suggested by Senator Murphy seems to me by its very nature to preclude that intention. [More…]
When this matter was last debated and again today, the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) gave an assurance to this chamber that it is proposed to introduce a modern criminal code for the Australian Capital Territory, and appropriate to that, relevant to that and ancillary to that would be the introduction of procedural provisions by way of the Evidence Act or perhaps rules of court and other things of that nature which appropriately could be passed by this place at the same time. [More…]
I know that there are certain aspects to be considered and probably it was not realised that the Committee’s motion was of a definite nature. [More…]
I will convey the substance of the honourable senator’s question to the Postmaster-General for him to consider the nature of the reply he would like to give to the honourable senator. [More…]
The matter would need to have an ingredient of a national nature also. [More…]
I direct a question to the Minister for Civil Aviation and I express my alarm at the protracted nature of the investigation into the aircraft accident at Mascot. [More…]

It is true that he feels that the nature of No. [More…]
11 is an important motion by its nature. [More…]
I was rather amazed when he said that a decision of this nature should be left to the Prime Minister. [More…]
By the nature of the Senate under the Constitution it has a consistent and persistent life and although the personnel may change the Senate itself as an institution continues unbroken in the sense that it is not the 25th or 26th Parliament, although the Senate may operate in successive parliaments and does. [More…]
But any discipline imposed by a chamber of the national legislature is by its nature, in my concept, a severe punishment though relative to other things it might be considered a mild and light punishment. [More…]
That, having regard to the nature of the breaches of privilege in this case, and the circumstances in which they occurred, Mr J. R. Walsh and Mr H. S.

That Committee is looking into this whole matter of the source of the leakage and things of that nature. [More…]

Rothwell be required to attend before the Senate, on their own behalf and on behalf of their publishers, to be reprimanded by the Presiding Officer. [More…]
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has laid it down that the only relevant criterion was the nature of the process by which the decision was to be reached. [More…]
In other words, if certiorari lies only to move initial processes then in those circumstances the Privy Council has held that according to the nature of the process by which the decision was to be reached that is a judicial process attracting certiorari. [More…]
First, there arc the cases in which a duty to act judicially in accordance with the rules of natural justice has been held to arise by implication from the nature of a power and its impact upon the rights of individuals, despite the absence of any express duty to follow a procedure analogous to the judicial. [More…]
There again we have these modern authorities saying that one cannot estimate or assess the judicial nature of a body in the strictest terms; that there are bodies which have no statutory definition of judicial functions but which by implication operate judicially and as such are subject to the legal processes of lifting litigation from one jurisdiction to another because it is a judicial proceeding. [More…]
A bankrupt, who on his public examination under section 68 of the Bankruptcy Act 1924- 19S0 gives answers of such a nature as to convey to the court an intention not to give any real answers to the questions to which they relate, can properly be convicted of refusing to answer such question, but before he is convicted of contempt of court arising out of such refusal the specific charge against him must be distinctly stated and he must be allowed a reasonable opportunity of being heard in his own defence; that is a reasonable opportunity of placing before the court any explanation or amplification of his evidence and any submission of fact or law which he may wish the court to consider as bearing either upon the charge itself or upon the question of punishment. [More…]
That, having regard to the nature of the breaches of privilege in this case, and the circumstances in which they occurred, Mr J. R. Walsh and Mr H. B. Rothwell be required to attend before the Senate … to be reprimanded [More…]
It is generally agreed that the main doubt about that legal feasibility has been removed by the decision of the High Court and I believe it would be in the national interest for the Committee to bring down a prompt report to the Senate, even if only of an interim nature, giving its recommendations on the desirability and feasibility of establishing a securities and exchange commission. [More…]
I can imagine that not only restrictive trade practices or control of consumer selling and things of that nature but also, for example, consumer credit, that is, hire purchase operated through corporations may well be an area in which the Commonwealth finds itself equipped with power and into which it may elect at some time to move, operating under this interpretation and re-interpretation of its power, to bring such operations within the ambit of the banking control of the Commonwealth. [More…]
What is the nature of the incorrect information, and who is responsible for furnishing it? [More…]
The Government is conscious of the complex nature of this industry with its many component parts and conflicting interests. [More…]
The people I represent are not measured by size of pay packet, by colour of shirt collar or by the nature of their religious devotion. [More…]
We saw no need for agriculture or industry because nature provided our needs for over 20,000 years. [More…]
Despite the fact that education is crying out for more Commonwealth money, allowances of this nature are made to people on high incomes who, in fact, do not deserve them or are not in need of them. [More…]
People earning in excess of this amount are simply not in need of increases of this nature. [More…]
I have listened with interest to what Senator Mulvihill has said and I understand his remarks as being in the nature of a plea to have removed entirely from the statute book any laws which would discriminate against citizens who are not Australian born citizens. [More…]
Under what right and with what authority has his Department made such a decision, based as it is on the nature and future prospects of this religious body? [More…]

I have a personal interest in the future development of an Australian childrens film foundation or corporation or something of that nature, which will create, especially for the children of Australia, films with a national identity, films which will provide to them the opportunities to see the excellence of our arts from our own people and also which will perhaps enrich our children’s leisure in a way that is achieved by the Children’s Film Foundation of Great Britain. [More…]
The short term solution is the provision, through a finance corporation outside the banking system structured to the nature and relevant to the demands of the rural industries, of the necessary finance on appropriate terms with interest and redemption free periods. [More…]

But I come back to the essential problem before us in this Bill and that is punishment itself - the concept of punishment and the nature and varieties of punishment which are appropriate in the 1970s. [More…]
Measures of this nature devolve upon all honourable senators the responsibility of making a personal decision. [More…]
I could dwell upon many aspects of this Bill, and 1 will come back to a couple of aspects which point up the tremendous danger of a Bill of this nature. [More…]

We feel that it is quite wrong for taxing powers of this nature - income tax and payroll tax - to be in the hands of 6 separate authorities representing the States and of a Federal authority which, by the operation of the Pay-roll Tax (Territories) Assessment Bill and the Pay-roll Tax (Territories) Bill, will still have some control in certain areas. [More…]
Clearly that tax has lost its temporary nature and has finished up in the Commonwealth’s coffers. [More…]
Senator Sir KENNETH ANDERSONA common reason, of course, is so that it can have liquidity on bankruptcy or when it is in the process of bankruptcy or something of that nature. [More…]
I think I also mentioned in my question that it was a demonstration of an orderly and very humane nature. [More…]
The very nature of his overseas visit is related to matters of the Australian currency and Australian trade. [More…]
There are also in the Bill some proposed amendments of a housekeeping nature. [More…]
Since then, the range of the Corporation’s facilities has been progressively extended and the operation of the facilities improved to take account of changes in the pattern of Australian production and exports, in the direction of our exports, and in the nature of the competition we have to contend with in overseas markets. [More…]
The second factor is that, with competition in world trading at such a high pitch, the nature of the credit arrangements exporters can offer has assumed a special significance. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that the 1961 Act provided for both standardisation of the main line from Kalgoorlie to Perth and Fremantle and certain works of a developmental nature. [More…]
I say again to Senator Carrick that when one hears speeches of this nature it is quite easy to believe that McCarthy is not dead. [More…]
If anything is to be banned, let us ban Vincents powders and preparations of that nature because they do not do anybody any good. [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, *nd if so what the nature of the provisions should be. [More…]
I thought that Senator Carrick put before us most cogently the optional nature, in that sense, of our national service system. [More…]
Therefore the mere fact that as a concomitant of CMF service a person is under that liability does not reduce the optional nature of that service. [More…]
Your petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, in Parliamentassembled, should, through its Standing Committee on the Social Environment, examine whether construction of a tower of this nature on Black Mountain is in the public interest, having particular regard to the need to preserve the beauty and environmental quality of the National Capital. [More…]
Ill of 1970, the States Grants (Capital Assistance) Act, which lays down that Commonwealth funds shall be applied for the purpose of financial assistance … in connection with expenditure of a capital nature’? [More…]
Your petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, in Parliament assembled, should, through its Standing Committee on the Social Environment, examine whether construction of a tower of this nature on Black Mountain is in the public interest, having particular regard to the need to preserve the beauty and environmental quality of the National Capital. [More…]
At 30th June 1971, 13 students holding Study Grants were enrolled in matriculation studies of this nature. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of the incorrect information and who was responsible for giving it? [More…]
But the accident was of such a serious nature that hundreds of Australian lives could well have been lost. [More…]
But at this stage, despite the Minister’s answer to me on 26th August that we ‘can be assured that measures, designed to prevent a repetition of such an accident, have been implemented’, all that appears to have been done by the Department to date Ls to set out in clearer details what air traffic controllers should do when incidents of this nature occur or are likely to occur. [More…]
Between elections the Government attacks members of the Australian Labor Party on Socialism and what we believe in but then, by a surreptitious move, it introduces legislation of a socialistic nature. [More…]
This legislation will achieve nothing of that nature. [More…]
The 2 members of the Board will not have the right to negotiate agreements with overseas countries or to negotiate freight rates or anything of that nature. [More…]
One would have to be a child of nature if one believed that there were not conflicts in that statement. [More…]
One would have to be a child of nature to believe that appointees of the Minister would do those things. [More…]
As I say, 1 welcome the opportunity to make some comments on these Bills because this debate affords honourable senators in this place a chance to put on the record something of the nature, extent and importance of this industry and to give to the public in Australia al large an opportunity to assess for themselves just how it rates in the overall scheme of things in this country so far as this nation’s output is concerned. [More…]
I think it is more in the nature of a support scheme. [More…]
I am not sure whether the rebate was not 7c per carton, or something of that nature, which is a quite substantial sum of money. [More…]
I was reminded of a situation of this nature recently in the wool industry. [More…]
The viewpoint and considerations of those who are opposed to it are not generally aired simply because the nature of the viewpoint they are expousing is not one on which they wish to go into print; it is not one which they wish to articulate generally. [More…]
There were those of a more mercenary nature - those who wanted to know on which side their bread was buttered; those who felt that there should be some tangible rewards for a present sacrifice. [More…]
If we are going to become involved in any future conflicts of this nature it will only lead to greater sacrifices of Australian lives, greater sacrifices of other people’s lives and greater damage to Australia as well as suffering, misery and a repetition of the disaster which now, fortunately, is coming to a conclusion in Vietnam. [More…]
They are most comprehensive in that they specify the date of the election, the nature of the polling, the selection of candidates, the operations of parties, moneys provided, even by the Government, to parties to conduct their campaigns, and things of that nature. [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…]
It must be recognised that any substantial 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…]
This document sets out the nature and the details of the public account in its various phases. [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 inform the Parliament of the nature of the changes that it has decided to make to the legislation. [More…]
and any order of a judicial nature made by him in the purported exercise of federal jurisdiction was a nullity. [More…]
Therefore I suggest to the Government that it should have given consideration to that aspect of this matter before it proceeded with measures of this nature which impose a 100 per cent increase in charges on the people who are sick, who go to a doctor and who, as a result of going to a doctor, go to a chemist with a prescription. [More…]
I reiterate that 1 am pleased to learn, from the Minister’s second reading speech, that the measures proposed in this Bill are of an interim nature only. [More…]
In the 1950s the late Sir Earle Page introduced legislation of this nature. [More…]
In inland Australia people employed as stockmen or quarry hands, or in occupations of that nature, would reach their physical peak between the ages of 25 years and 50 years. [More…]
In the nature of things it is not possible for me in reply to respond to all points raised by Senator Mulvihill with the same rapidity with which he mentioned them. [More…]
In the economic sense the recipients under the scheme would be influenced by the economy and by the very nature of the earnings of the community. [More…]
Subsequently the doctor referred the matter to the Drug Evaluation Committee, which banned it from the list of permissible drugs because of its dangerous nature. [More…]
It is a very false argument to say that if handouts of this nature are given to everyone the economy of this country will be destroyed. [More…]
My Party has had no representations from the industry to suggest that the proposed amendment would be acceptable to it in any shape or form, it is true that in many primary industries a single national marketing authority is of advantage, but because of the localised nature of the apple and pear industry in particular States, and the different purposes for which the fruit is produced - I refer particularly to the canning industry, which is extensive in Victoria - it may not be wise to suggest that what is adequate for other primary industries by way of a national marketing authority should be imposed upon this industry; that is, unless the industry expressed very strong views in that direction. [More…]
The Opposition has been critical of the Government because such a provision has not been contained in previous Bills of a similar nature. [More…]
Because of the nature of the in camera hearing, were the Aboriginal elders unable to express their opposition before the court? [More…]
I may add that it is a display which features not only contemporary architectural performance in the shape of airports and high rise buildings but also old prints of architectural drawings made 80 or 100 years ago and architectural features of a special historic nature that we are beginning to appreciate more and more in connection with our preservation of historic buildings. [More…]
Will the Government give an assurance that the executive producer and journalists employed on the programme This Day Tonight’ will be allowed to remain unbridled and to carry out their journalistic work of producing and presenting programmes of an adequate and comprehensive nature serving the best interests of the Australian community, and that no political pressure of any kind will be tolerated in any circumstances on the ABC’s current affairs programmes? [More…]
Of course, in the nature of the insurance business, when a company fails to meet its liability to one policy holder that in itself is the red light; it is the alert for all the other policy holders. [More…]
The fact that 11 or 12 companies have collapsed over the past 3 or 4 years is not in itself a justification for the introduction of legislation of this nature. [More…]
The nature of the subject raised as a matter of urgency must have been known yesterday to the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Murphy) because, in his speech attacking the learned Attorney-General, Senator Murphy quoted the AttorneyGeneral’s reply to a question asked yesterday without notice. [More…]
We would not oppose a measure of this nature. [More…]
I do this in the adjournment debate because the questions are considerable in number and also because of the ruling by The President, with which I agree, that it is not acceptable to read quotations from newspapers during question time and that if the nature of the question requires some research it is not suitable for the short period of question time. [More…]
I ask: Would the Minister agree that it is the responsibility of an elected member to make known disturbing rumours of this nature if they came to his ears? [More…]
Now the Government has the audacity to appoint a person of this nature, who has been opposed to the development of Australian television, to the Interim Council for the Film and Television Training School. [More…]
These tablets cost $13.50 for a bottle of 100 and, because of the nature of the illness, frequent replacement bottles of tablets are necessary. [More…]
Will the Minister representing the Prime Minister explain the nature of the appointment of Dr Coombs as adviser on the Prime Minister’s mission overseas? [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 bc readily available. [More…]
However, in view of the length and technical nature of the provisions, it has been decided that a separate piece of legislation would be preferable. [More…]
The agreement follows the usual form for projects of this nature. [More…]
Does the Government have representation at meetings when new freight rates are determined or are under discussion; if so, what is the nature of such representation; if not, does the Conference advise the Government regularly of the results of discussions. [More…]
The remaining amendments effected by the Bill are of a minor nature and merely consequential on those I have outlined. [More…]
I have responded to this type of question before and pointed out that the simple arithmetical quotation of an amount of profit derived by a company is completely meaningless unless the nature of the capital investment involved is taken into account. [More…]
In response to your verbal inquiry, I confirm that the words addressed directly by Senator Murphy to Senator Poyser during the debate on Accident Insurance on 27th October last were recorded by the Hansard Reporter but deleted by the sub-editor from the transcript on the ground that they were in the nature of an aside; they were not part of the context of the speech; and they were not made in reply to an interjection. [More…]
What is the nature of any such privileges and amenities provided? [More…]
In the very nature of things it would carry out the work most advantageously in terms of its contract. [More…]
The Australian Oil Seeds Conference is a meeting which brings together representatives of growers and processors of oil seeds and Commonwealth and State officers who are concerned with the industry for the purpose of exchanging information and discussing matters of general concern to the industry on a factual and technical level and not of a political nature. [More…]
In that case, the nature of the changes needed, and indeed the necessity of changes at all, may take on a rather different aspect. [More…]
I want to refer specifically to a question I asked in this chamber only recently regarding the enormous increase in the use of acrylic tow and fibres of that nature in this country, which has a population of only 13 million people. [More…]
With regard to the suggestion about predictions of substantial increases in unemployment, I remind the honourable senator that the Prime Minister has already said that, with the advent of school leavers into the work force at about the Christmas period, it is likely that unemployment figures will rise above the traditional and exceptionally low figures that we have been able to maintain over the last few years but the projections that are entertained are not of a serious nature. [More…]
In its approach to the reference, the Committee held the view that, although it was relatively less important than other matters which the Committee already has under active consideration aud investigation, the telephone directory reference was of a very practical nature which could provide an opportunity to bring benefit to a wide section of the public. [More…]
The reference was considered to be one which could be dealt wilh quickly in keeping with the objective that standing committees of this nature should aim at presenting reports expeditiously. [More…]
It is not uncommon for government departments themselves to engage outside consultant* and to do so in regard to matters of a confidential nature. [More…]
One change of a purely drafting nature is that, in contrast with past practice, the Bill covers both the ordinary rates of tax and the special rates that apply for the purposes of legislation enacted in 1964 to counter legal tax avoidance. [More…]
Today I will not discuss in a philosophical way the problems of the industry, marketing or anything of that nature. [More…]
Some of them cannot produce wool for 30c or 40c per lb because of the nature of the country and the distance the wool has to be transported. [More…]
Until both s.ides of ihe Senate and the Australian people recognise that a product cannot be viable in perpetuity unless it is by nature, quality and presentation what is required and is made available at a cost at which people are willing to purchase it, any kind of propping up by subsidies can be only a palliative in the short term. [More…]
I very much (feel that a Bill of this nature is affording much more protection to brokers than to growers. [More…]
Legislation of this nature, because the Government is failing to grasp the nettle, is simply putting off the evil day. [More…]
Frankly, it is merely of an interim nature. [More…]
The provision of a different nature was included in the Wool (Deficiency Payments) Bill because wool subject to security had already been delivered to the brokers and sold before the introduction of the legislation and thus before the Act will become operative. [More…]
If the grant is in the nature of an emergency grant, the Premier has to vouch for the situation in an application to the Prime Minister. [More…]
Is it a fact that a declaration of this nature would allow Queensland to seek special financial assistance from the Commonwealth to overcome its present financial problem? [More…]
The drafting and enactment of a Statute Law Revision Bill, which reduces considerably the overall size of a reprint by repealing Acts and portions of Acts the operation of which is exhausted and makes necessary amendments of a non-contentious nature, is desirable before a general reprint is undertaken. [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…]
Where the Tribunal is satisfied that it is desirable to do so by reason of the confidential nature of any evidence or matter or for any other reason, the Tribunal may - [More…]
But 1 do not think anything of a serious nature is likely to occur. [More…]
It is sufficient to say that the nature of the High Court’s decision made it imperative that there be either wide ranging and comprehensive amendments to that legislation or a completely new Act. [More…]
The Government, having been furnished with the results of my efforts in this connection, has concluded, and I think few, if any, will deny, that there are practices current in the community which by reason of their restrictive nature are harmful to the public interest - that interest being in the maintenance of free enterprise under which citizens are at liberty to participate in the production and distribution of the nation’s wealth, thus ensuring competitive conditions which tend to initiative, resourcefulness, productive efficiency, high output and fair and reasonable prices to the consumer. [More…]
After all some of them are going to be in a very high office analogous to that of a federal judge because of the nature of the work they do. [More…]
What I am concerned about is things of this nature finding their way into every piece of legislation. [More…]
When one considers the nature of the oath or affirmation, its value is apparent. [More…]
Although prices are cut, which might be thought to assist the consumer, experience has shown that this is a very temporary help to the consumer if in fact the price cutting is of a predatory nature. [More…]
After listening to the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) reply io the amendment proposed by Senator Murphy, I suggest that honourable senators must feel some grave misgivings about the nature of the strengthening legislation that is in store for us. [More…]
It is hard to see how legislation of this nature can ever work unless the principle embodied in this amendment ultimately becomes part of the legislation. [More…]
As I said earlier, it is an area in which by the passage of law you cannot change human nature. [More…]
They are in the nature of the person as God makes him. [More…]
First of all, it must be assessed against the decline in the area of rural production where there is a vast translation of the very nature of the basic Australian economy, a process which will continue, which will accelerate and which will expand in that sense. [More…]
Equally one might say that what Senator Murphy is proposing is designed to give to an individual a recompense far and away beyond any amount which he may have actually suffered and give him what is in the nature of exemplary damages. [More…]
In fairness to Senator Wilkinson who led for the Opposition I should say that he said that because of its very nature the amendment inferentially means that the Opposition is moving to defeat the Bill, and therefore that the amendment should be faced up to, considered and voted upon on that basis. [More…]
The truth is that not only was money of this nature not available in Australia but also that Australians were unwilling to indulge in this type of risk investment. [More…]
There will be no report before the new legislation is to be produced unless the idea of the Attorney-General about the temporary nature of this legislation is vastly different from what we have assumed. [More…]
Banks, insurance companies and other normal financial agencies which normally covered such a situation were not willing to take a risk when they were dealing with another country whereas they might have taken a risk of a similar nature within the borders of Australia. [More…]
So there is no question of anybody having this information and being able freely to use it as he wished to use it, neither is there any interest in making any comment or remark on the nature of that classified information. [More…]
With your indulgence, Mr President, might 1 say that if I thought that discharging the duties of my office meant that I would lose my sensitivity I would resign within the hour because sensitivity is a trait of human nature which we a JJ want to preserve. [More…]
Incapable of understanding the nature of the application. [More…]
As it has successfully competed in the past we believe that before it is criticised it at least should be given the opportunity to go ahead in its own way to meet the new challenges that confront it with the introduction of new aircraft and because of the more highly competitive nature of the field in which it is competing. [More…]
I think one has to give credence to the fact that the knife edge nature of overseas airline operations make them extremely vulnerable. [More…]
We should bear in mind the highly competitive nature of this industry, the fact that Pan-Am stood down 5,000 staff, that Trans-World Airlines has had to stand down 2,000 staff that United Airlines has stood down 2,400 staff, and that the profit of British Overseas Airways Corporation in the year ended March 1971 declined to $5m compared with $31m in the previous year. [More…]
1 will accept that; but the first one is in the nature of casual employment. [More…]
In a State such as Tasmania, which is a dependent State, one naturally looks to the Commonwealth for a substantial subvention towards the cost of a project of this nature. [More…]
I believe that it is high time that the Commonwealth took another look at the financing of works of the nature of that with which we are dealing now, and particularly at the interest rates. [More…]
The committee went into the new psychological concepts - automatism, intent and things of that nature, the psychological aspects of which as related to modern life are now receiving more attention in the criminal law. [More…]
It is a document which, by its nature and by the exploratory nature of its drafting and the concepts embodied in it, is likely to attract criticism. [More…]
ls it not true that stop-gap measures of this nature are only postponing the inevitable, and that only when the Commission stops stockpiling and price deficiency payments will wool prices find their own true market level? [More…]
However, I point out to the honourable senator that it has been the policy of the Government developed over a long period that where problems of such a nature affect a State the remedy is a matter for the State. [More…]
Information was provided suggesting that a considerable change in the nature of production was occurring in the area. [More…]
What was the cost and nature of work carried out by each private contractor on behalf of the Department of the Army at Townsville during the past year, and what firms were involved. [More…]
In this situation it will be apparent that the capacity available within CDW is taken fully into account by the Department of the Army before work is let out to private contractors and that CDW is aware of the nature and extent of the Army’s repair commitment. [More…]
The Minister for the Army has forwarded to Senator Keeffe a detailed schedule of the expenditure and nature of work undertaken on vehicle trade repair in Townsville for the period from 15th October 1970 to 15th October 1971. [More…]
The question is of a speculative nature and I do not propose to answer it other than to note that no question of ‘re-admission’ exists as ‘Taiwan’ has never been a member of the United Nations. [More…]
There is an agreement which we all understand that to meet a particular situation we might transgress a little beyond that hour for a short time to dispose of a Bill or something of that nature. [More…]
What I am arguing is the fact that it is pointless at this time to make references to the committees because, in truth, we will be debating the merits of 6 questions which, I suggest, even if in the judgment of the Senate they were to be referred to the Committees, would not, in the nature of things, be likely to be considered by the time we return in 1972. [More…]
It is in the nature of the committee system that standing committees may often have to look at matters ad hoe and urgently. [More…]
Your petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, In Parliament assembled, should, through its Standing Committee on the Social Environment, examine whether construction of a tower of this nature on Black Mountain is in the public interest, having particular regard to the need to preserve the beauty and environmental quality of the national capital. [More…]
I think, because of the comprehensive nature of the question, the best course would be for the honourable senator to place it on notice. [More…]
The motion as amended is the only reasonable way in which a discussion of this nature can take place in this chamber. [More…]
This is one thing that economists, amateurs or professionals, politicians or others, would agree on that you cannot make two rapid changes of a major nature in any economy, without suffering severe repercussions that are of no use to anybody at all. [More…]
They show that the degree of unemployment is of a short term nature for over two-thirds of the unemployed who receive these benefits. [More…]
We feel that the urgent nature of the motion which has been presented does not warrant the attitude which has been expressed by some speakers who stated that it would require a motion of this type to ensure that the Government would consider either the promotion of the economy or the relief of unnecessary distress by an immediate increase in unemployment benefit and other social services. [More…]
State governments have adopted the colleges arc 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, lt is for these reasons that the Australian Commission on Advanced Education is to be set up. [More…]
For the next 5 years, continuing cumulatively for 30 years, housing grants are to be paid by the Commonwealth to the States at a level which according to Federal calculations, will provide an effectiveinterest concession better than the1 per centdefinite concessional interest rate previously applying, because of the indefinite nature of the variables in components over the period this may or may not prove to bethecase. [More…]
Surely a transaction of this nature is of some degree of importance over and above an ordinary commercial business transaction. [More…]
Finally, I must stress that the National Health and Medical Research Council, through which Commonwealth expenditure on medical research is channelled, has always allocated the bulk of these funds to projects by individuals or groups of researchers rather than to projects of a capital expenditure nature. [More…]
Honourable senators will appreciate, from the brief summary 1 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…]
These are Bills of a somewhat technical nature dealing with the -requirements of these commissions. [More…]
This seems to me to warrant some sort of discussion because if section 116 is not being infringed by a Bill of this nature one can only wonder what one would have to do in order to breach section 116 of the [More…]
In looking at the immense sums that are called for, sums of the nature of $ 1,400m over the next 5 years, it is necessary for us at times to sit down and ask ourselves: ‘Are we getting value?’ [More…]
It wanted another group of committees the nature of which I cannot recall now. [More…]
It was based on a belief and on advice that, during the time when the Committees met to elect their chairmen and to carry out any other formal business of a procedural nature which they had to carry out, they should do so as committees of individuals and not as committees carrying out an inquiry into the Estimates in which any member of the Senate could participate. [More…]
I want to say something about the remarks made by Senator Cant earlier in the debate in relation to what he called the ‘valueless’ nature of the Estimates Committees. [More…]
When one examines a report of this nature one has to be very careful about making 1971 judgments on what was tabled in 1968. or 1969. [More…]
If the honourable senator wishes to intervene in a case of this nature, my advice to him would be to approach the Department of Immigration because the Prime Minister’s Department would have to get the relevant facts from the Department of immigration anyway. [More…]
Is the Attorney-General also aware that the award provides that disputes of this nature can be referred’ to a board of reference for determination by the Deputy Industrial Registrar? [More…]
I am unable to say whether the Postmaster-General will conduct an inquiry of the nature sought although I assure the honourable senator that I will refer the question to him. [More…]
However, as the nature of the honourable senator’s question is such that the Minister would like to give a considered reply I suggest that the honourable senator put the question on the notice paper. [More…]
The Minister said he understood that Senator McAuliffe was aware that, because of the nature of the questions that he had asked, it would not be possible to obtain all the information for him by the afternoon in question. [More…]
Surely on a mater of this nature which is of vital importance to the Australian people no-one would suggest, and I feel sure that the Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board would not suggest, that questions should not be asked or should not be answered, if they are asked, by officers representing the Broadcasting Control Board. [More…]
Cases of this nature did not seem to occur before the decision to cut back the immigration programme was taken. [More…]
In fact, all honourable senators who believe that a committee of this nature should be set up, and who will be compelled to vote against our motion only because of pressure of work, should be in this chamber speaking for greater assistance for the committees and their members and greater personal staff facilities for the members who are prepared to examine in depth these matters that are referred to committees from time to time. [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…]
Your petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, in Parliament assembled, should, through its standing committee on the social environment, examine whether construction of a tower of this nature on Black Mountain is in the public interest, having particular regard to the need to preserve the beauty and environmental quality of the national capital. [More…]
We believe that it is essential to protect the recreational nature and peace of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park both now and forthe future. [More…]
The other clauses of the Bill are of a machinery nature and arise from the creation of the position of Deputy Chairman, the change in name and the provisions for nominated members and Ministers of the House of Assembly. [More…]
They obtained and collated a body of evidence never before available in Australia as to the extent and the nature of the problems which confront us in the preservation and protection of our environment. [More…]
I cannot believe that anyone realising the extent and the nature of this problem would be prepared to stand by and say. [More…]
lt has not been a study of dirty water or clean air or things of that nature alone. [More…]
1 think we are inclined to say that because nature has been so bountiful to us development is not all that necessary, but we should be laying down a comprehensive guide to exploration and development of our resources both on the land and under the sea. [More…]
The Government and the Opposition have agreed upon a particular course being taken and, instead of pursuing what might be regarded as the appropriate method of raising matters of this nature - moving to reduce the estimates by SI or $10, which is the ancient formula and which is a little out of touch with reality - we have decided that it is better to seek an expression of the opinion of the Committee on various matters. [More…]
lt is for those reasons that the Government and the Opposition prefer that matters of this nature be decided on the simple issue of policy, lt is no argument for the Democratic Labor Party to say that not enough notice has been given. [More…]
If the honourable senator were listening carefully he would know that Senator Willesee withdrew a proposition of that nature and put forward the substantive proposal that the Committee is of opinion that there should be prepared, urgently and implemented a national fuel and energy policy. [More…]
But to mouth some words of a genera] and imprecise nature will do nothing either to the credit of this chamber or to the credit of the party which moved the motion. [More…]
We believe that it is essential to protect the recreation nature and peace of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park both now and for the future. [More…]
Does the Minister representing the Minister for Shipping and Transport recall my 2 recent questions concerning proposals for a reorganisation of the Australian National Line’s Bass Strait shipping services and the suggestion that changes to the nature of future operations were being considered? [More…]
Because of strong reports that the ANL ship ‘Empress of Australia’ is to be rescheduled and the Princess of Tasmania’ taken off the service, can the Minister advise the Senate of the nature of the new proposals? [More…]
The Launceston Teachers College will be transferred to the control of the Council of Advanced Education from 1st January 1972.I have informed the Tasmanian Minister of my agreement in principle to Commonwealth financial support from the beginning of 1973 on the understanding that the nature and extent of that support will be examined by the Commonwealth Advisory Committee on Advanced Education in the development of its recommendations for the 1973-1975triennium.

[More…]

Is this action reported to be in conflict with the States Grants (Capital Assistance) Act 1970 which provides that Commonwealth funds should be applied for the purpose of financial assistance in connection with expenditure of a capital nature. [More…]
Consistent with these statements of the Government’s intention in this matter, the States Grants (Capital Assistance) Act 1970 was drafted in such a way that, while the general purposeof the grants was stated in the Act (namely ‘to grant financial assistance to the States in connection with expenditure of a capital nature’), it did not have the effect of restricting the States in the way they used the grants. [More…]
Apart from the deficit funding procedure already referred to, there are some expenditures from the State’s Consolidated Revenue Fund which could be regarded as being of a capital nature, although the great bulk of expenditures from that Fund are of a recurrent nature. [More…]

Does the Minister agree that public messages of this nature are hardly likely to attract recruits to the Citizen Military Forces? [More…]
Some disasters of a catastrophic nature strike immediately. [More…]

Although that proposal has its advantages and disadvantages,I do believe that the subject of the motion standing in my name under General Business’, which was put before the Senate with honesty and sincerity, affects more people than does an earthquake, a flood or anything of that nature. [More…]
I believe - I am sure that many members on the Government side believe and 1 have the feeling that members of Senator Byrne’s Party and the main Opposition Party believe - that there is emerging a strong feeling that there should be no further references to committees when there are already references to those committees which, by the very nature of the references, will involve those committees in a very long and arduous period of meetings, the calling of witnesses and the examination of reports. [More…]
The Senate should refer the report to the proper committee because the report is of such a nature that the Senate cannot very well discuss the technicalities of such an important subject. [More…]
If I describe a couple of the areas which were barely damaged it might help honourable senators on the Government side of the chamber to understand more completely the necessity for a plea of this nature. [More…]
When a disaster of this nature occurs in an area it has to be declared, first of all, as a disaster area before any Commonwealth or State grants can be made available. [More…]
A disaster of this nature ought to be accepted in a major way as a Commonwealth responsibility. [More…]
T know that there have been disasters of a similar nature - probably not of the same magnitude - that have struck other places. [More…]
There have been floods and other fires and other cyclones, but 1 doubt whether there has ever been anything of this nature anywhere on the Australian mainland since, we occupied the country 200-odd years ago. [More…]
It was upon specific inquiries from him that I indicated that whether any offence had occurred depended on the circumstances of the case and the nature of the facts revealed by investigation. [More…]
If it had occurred, it was in the nature of being an accessory after the fact. [More…]
J regard this as being of a much more serious nature. [More…]
I have not yet discovered clearly from the honourable senators on the other side of the chamber the real nature of the complaint they make. [More…]
Let us just take it step by step and see what is the real nature of the complaint which is made in this case and whether it is not just a lot of political humbug. [More…]
But what 1 do not understand from anything that has been said by any honourable senator opposite is what was the real nature of the wrong committed by the police in this case. [More…]
Your petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, in Parliament assembled, should, through its Standing Committee on the Social Environment, examine whether construction of a tower of this nature on Black Mountain is in the public interest, having particular regard to the need to preserve the beauty and environmental quality of the National Capital. [More…]
The final planning in respect of the 38 stations involved in the seventh stage of television development is of a progressive nature. [More…]
Part XIII deals with some miscellaneous provisions, most of a minor nature, which I can deal with if necessary in Committee. [More…]
We do not envisage an immediate threat of this nature, however. [More…]
Therefore, the 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…]
I have not any doubt that if the Labor Party acted with the strength with which Mr Chifley acted when he was confronted with similar patterns in early 1949 there would soon be a stop to something that is becoming almost second nature in this country. [More…]
The Air Board has expressed its concern to me on the position and has assured me that existing orders and instructions which prohibit initiation ceremonies or happenings of this nature will be repromulgated and that it will be re-emphasised in the strongest terms to all concerned that these practices will not be tolerated.

In that way the requirements of knowledge are clearly linked to the false or misleading nature of the information furnished. [More…]
The fact that a report of this nature has come from that Committee probably indicates that, in their minds, we have not reached the stage at which this breakthrough can be achieved. [More…]
If we were considering the setting up of a statutory body we would be certainly moving on very much firmer ground if we had the benefit of an inquiry of this nature. [More…]
By nature we are not efficiency experts in that sense. [More…]
I would be extremely disappointed if the only investigation held into this proliferating public federal admi nistration in Australia was an investigation of this nature with all the limitations of time, the necessary limilations of personnel and the acknowledged limitations in expertise of the honourable senators who would comprise such a committee or, for that matter, even a select committee. [More…]
If the standing committees which have been established and which it is proposed to establish inquired and inquire into matters on an injunctive basis, as it were, and submitted an expeditious report or a series of expeditious reports dealing with the various individual facets of the subject of inquiry then I suggest that there would be no difficulty at all in any standing committee conducting an inquiry of this nature. [More…]
I do not think therefore that it is so much a matter of the committees having ‘competency’, to use the word adopted by Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, to investigate matters of this nature; it is more that the Government should ensure that action is taken on the recommendations of such committees. [More…]
Of course, the Liberal Party does not repudiate anything of that nature. [More…]
This is not the first time the AttorneyGeneral has raised matters of this nature. [More…]
Every utterance by the Attorney-General has been of a nature that has brought party political controversy into this case. [More…]
If charges of this nature are to be levelled they must be levelled with great circumspection and they must be supported with evidence which is virtually incontrovertible. [More…]
Therefore I feel that when charges of this nature are levelled they must be levelled with circumspection and they must be supported with conclusive and compelling evidence. [More…]
What suddenly changed the nature of it if it was not party political problems or differences which might have changed the weight of numbers within the Labor Party and within the Caucus? [More…]

The Air Board has expressedits concern to me on the position and has assured me that existing orders and instructions which prohibit initiation ceremonies or happenings of this nature willbe repromulgated and that it will be re-emphasised in the strongest terms to all concerned that these practices will not be tolerated. [More…]
But when one takes into account that the pensioner medical service provides treatment of only a general practitioner nature and that it does not provide for specialist treatment, physiotherapy, optical treatment and many other matters which could be enumerated, including an ambulance service, one can appreciate why those elderly people who are restricted to a pension of $ 17-odd a week are living in very poverty stricken circumstances indeed. [More…]
In relation to the broadcasting and televising of addresses or statements of a political and current affairs nature, section 1 1 7 (4.) [More…]
It is quite impossible for a debate of this nature to be held objectively in the House of Representatives. [More…]

It is in the nature of an enabling or umbrella agreement and will clear the way, notably through the provisions on safeguards procedures, for private enterprise to follow up with particular agreements for the export of uranium. [More…]
There are 7 Schedules to the Bill and to simplify the nature of the changes in the Schedules I propose to refer only to the General Tariff and the changes in the General Tariff rates. [More…]
An examination of the principles here will possibly be done more appropriately and in greater depth during our consideration in Committee, but I wonder whether the Committee, in the rather casual approach that it must necessarily give to a matter like this which comes before a chamber so busy with other matters, in an atmosphere of politics and other things, is the appropriate body at this time to examine in necessary depth a matter of this nature which primarily, substantially and ultimately is technical and technological. [More…]
I do not think that anyone would suggest that in an enactment of this nature it was intended to touch a House of Parliament or its committees. [More…]
But I would think from the nature of the order which is sought and the formality of the procedure which is involved that it is a saving of expense which is probably the pre-eminent reason why it does not have to be served on the bank or the manager. [More…]
It may well be that an injustice could result from documents of this nature not being produced. [More…]
1 feel that we should have been asked to make this radical departure only when we had before us, perhaps at the instance of the Government, papers presenting a collection of judicial opinion, judicial experience, academic opinion and things of that nature. [More…]
Another important tribunal of a voluntary nature is meeting in Adelaide, the festival city of this country, next week to deal with matters of major national importance - some of a legal nature and some of what might be described as a constitutional nature. [More…]
2 of the letter to which I have referred will suffice, for a Committee discussion, to indicate the nature of the offences. [More…]
Whatever might be done on a battlefield, by way of self-defence or in all these other cases, society is going to show that one shall not punish in this way and thereby help to set the example’ to show that human life is so important that people will be deterred by moral suasion from putting bombs on aircraft and from committing acts of an atrocious nature which have been described in this Senate. [More…]
To look upon the individual is an incitement of the uttermost crudity of one’s nature. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall, from reading the Press reports, that the Superintendent sent a telegram to the State Minister for Aboriginal and Island Affairs denying hat an offence of this nature had been committed on his mission or that anyone had been punished. [More…]
He was a man of great sincerity with a very friendly personality and a kind nature. [More…]

Further, is he able to state whether Premier Askin is still refusing to respond to the Prime Minister’s latest overtures and whether the points of conflict are of a monetary or geographic nature? [More…]
The Board has regard to such factors as the nature, recency and circumstances of the offence, the conduct of the applicant since the offence was committed, and any other relevant matters. [More…]
I take this opportunity of informing the Senate of the nature of the amendments and of the reasons for them: [More…]
The nature of that climate and the type of administration which we have in Australia are by no means unrelated. [More…]
Britain had a very enviable record of production, particularly of machinery and equipment of that nature, and it tended to rest on its laurels because apparently not sufficient inducement was given to industry to upgrade the standards of its equipment and machinery and so enable that country to compete against the rest of the world in the very competitive markets that then existed. [More…]
It is difficult to confine oneself merely to observations about a particular and very limited Bill of the nature of the one before us to the exclusion of the other factors which one must take into account in assessing the need to provide the 20 per cent inducement for the installation of plant, which is the purpose of this Bill. [More…]
The labour cost in Australia is high because of the nature of our national economy and our national life. [More…]
Also, the limited nature of the Australian market is something which must remain with us while our population remains at the present level. [More…]
As Mr McQuaid points out, the point could probably be made that motion picture production, of its very nature, is an international industry. [More…]
Government senators and I take the view that having regard to the nature of things it would not be appropriate today for Senator Cavanagh, if he intends to seek to go into the substance of this matter - and no doubt this would be a matter for the Chair to determine– to move this motion. [More…]
The report, by its nature, is an internal matter. [More…]
In clause 3 which, in conjunction with the third column in the table which forms the schedule to the Bill, authorises the payments of grants totalling S6.66m to the States in 1971- 72, the grant to each State is stated to be for the purpose of financial assistance in connection with expenditure of a capital nature on primary schools and secondary schools conducted by that State’. [More…]
It may be that because of the nature of the reasons for the person seeking privacy the application may need to be heard in private. [More…]
The nature of the reference and the problem with which the committee is faced at the time will determine how far one will go into the domain which would ordinarily be considered private. [More…]
That is in the nature of a charge. [More…]
The second category of inquiry by a committee is one which is not directed towards any particular individual, or the determination of, let me call it, guilt or the establishment of facts in relation to a particular individual as a result of something in the nature of a complaint, but rather is the sort of inquiry with which we are familiar, namely, an inquiry into some matter that might be the subject of legislation or in general the subject of supervision of the administration. [More…]
Obviously we would be sensitive as to the nature of the evidence upon which we were relying to present the report to the Senate. [More…]
that a number of things should be done, but to suggest that they are inadequate, or for one to have the impression that they were inadequate, would be mistaking the nature of the debate and the comments made by various speakers. [More…]
These 2 companies between them have been able to employ in recent times about 300 people - cartoonists, choreographers, dancers, musicians and people of that nature. [More…]
I conclude on this note: I think that we should never have an argument of this nature again. [More…]
statements of that nature are made. [More…]
Honourable senators will acknowledge that sinceI have had the honour to sit in the chair I have attempted to curb the asking of questions of a propaganda nature and questions that contain an element of speech making. [More…]
I must uphold the right of the Senate to consider amendments of this nature. [More…]
My complaint concerns the perfunctory nature of the reply which was given to me by the Postmaster-General (Sir Alan Hulme) which I assume came through him from the Australian Broadcasting Control Board. [More…]
1 do not know why the Broadcasting Control Board will not come to this Parliament with clean hands and tell us why it is interfering with programmes of this nature. [More…]
When tapes of this nature are called for by the Control Board and when questions are asked in this Parliament I suggest that the Control Board has a responsibility to state the reasons to the Parliament. [More…]
Or was it because of the predatory nature of goldfish? [More…]
This is the priority with which we approach all our affairs and all matters of this nature, and I have indicated this fact both today and on earlier occasions. [More…]
I do not think that I should canvass a matter of that nature at question time. [More…]
Secondly, will the Minister indicate in general terms the nature of the supersonic aircraft now used in military operations and the countries over which they operate at present? [More…]
What is the name of the person or advertising agency which drafts such amateurish advertisements, and does the Minister agree that public messages of this nature are hardly likely to attract recruits to the Citizen Military Forces. [More…]
Deductions are not allowed under this provision, however, for outgoings of capital or of a capital nature. [More…]
The question whether servicing fees paid by an Australian subsidiary to its overseas parent qualify as allowable deductions depends upon the facts of each particular case having regard to the terms of any contracts made and the nature of the services provided. [More…]
What was the exact nature of migrant classes conducted in these two suburbs and what was the enrolment in each class? [More…]
In the past, means of an ad hoc nature have been employed to resolve Issues between parties. [More…]
A provision of this nature is the essential feature of the Bill now before the Senate. [More…]
Therefore, there will be no statutory periods to be fulfilled when matters of this nature are brought before the tribunal. [More…]
I think this case highlights very much the totally unsatisfactory nature of the method of appointment as laid down in the present legislation. [More…]
I imagine they would cover accommodation and transport costs and things of that nature. [More…]
Their work changes according to the seasons, according to the winds, according to the sun and to matters of this nature. [More…]
It is considered that this would allow a satisfactory check to be kept on the position as there would not be enough incentive for any producer to go to this trouble to alter the whole nature of his business operation in order to create additional voting powers. [More…]
The information I have in relation to the voting rights of partnerships and companies who own 200 hives or more is that the Bill follows the basis adopted in previous legislation of a comparable nature, lt provides for property qualifications. [More…]
(2) If it is believed that he is dead, is there any information as to the nature of and reasons for his death? [More…]
At this stage the courses are of an experimental nature only. [More…]
Other variations of tariff avoidance of this nature have also been identified. [More…]
One could scarcely imagine that any other authority of this nature would be created by this Government without representation being given to the people who are engaged in the profession or occupation which most significantly forms part of the enterprise. [More…]
I believe that in view of the limited nature of the duties which the Commissioner will perform and in view of the fact that he will operate only in a very limited field in regard to teachers, for the time being the attitude of the Government that there should be one commissioner is justified. [More…]
Therefore the Bill, which seeks to set up a Commonwealth teaching service, represents something in the nature of a pioneering effort. [More…]
By its very nature it needs to be flexible. [More…]
In that respect I remind the Senate that 31) or 40 years ago the High Court of Australia decided that under our Constitution the State teaching services were not of the nature of industrial services and therefore their disputes were nol. [More…]
That proposition has been penned under a clear misconception of the nature of the Bill. [More…]
However, when there is personal criticism of this nature I think that one is justified in defending one’s attitude. [More…]
Short of a social and political revolution - and some would say a change in human nature - such a comprehensive solution to the problem of poverty seems a forlorn hope. [More…]
It is a reflection on this chamber that a Senator should make an attack of this nature. [More…]
In view of the serious nature of these allegations will the Minister have them investigated so that public confidence in the inquiry will not be disturbed? [More…]
It should be realised that the Department is required to provide evidence during the inquiry and that it will be better equipped to provide information of real assistance if it is properly informed of the nature of evidence given by other witnesses. [More…]
It is deplorable that serious imputations of this nature should be made against members of the Public Service by a man of the cloth or by anybody else. [More…]
In view of his decision to veto plans for a light aircraft airport in the Duffy’s Forest region of Sydney, has his Department now returned the land in question to the New South Wales Government for the creation of a nature reserve? [More…]
Or was it because of the predatory nature of goldfish? [More…]
I took the attitude that fundamentally committees of this nature had to explore all possibiliies of corrective action where Commonwealth ministries were involved, [t was for that reason that I outlined my proposals (A) and (B) in the report. [More…]
My only reason in submitting reservations was, to perhaps use the military term, in the nature of a snatch and destroy mission, because I felt something could bc done very quickly by the Commonwealth. [More…]
when the Senate deems a petition of this nature important enough to refer to a Standing Committee, then only an in-depth examination oi the petition can be described as satisfactory. [More…]
If people feel badly enough about a community problem and several hundred of them put their signatures to a petition - sometimes several thousands - they must want something to be done about that particular problem. [More…]
Such an in-depth study could be the job of a committee of this nature. [More…]
If standing committees are to continue, resolutions of this nature ought to be referred to them. [More…]
Another matter concerns the circumstances surrounding, and the nature of, the public statements made by the directors of both companies which apparently were intended to affect the market value of the shares of each of those companies and which were, made publicly to the Press and not to the stock exchanges. [More…]
Can we be confident that there was nothing in the nature of insider trading? [More…]
No doubt my colleagues like myself have received a telegram of this nature. [More…]
All I can say is that if every employer acted in the provision of a superannuation scheme of this nature as TNT has acted, there certainly would probably be little need for the major political parties to be contemplating the introduction of a national superannuation scheme at this stage. [More…]
If honourable senators suggest otherwise, they do not face the realities of human nature. [More…]
Am I correct in inferring from what the Attorney-General said that the nature of the information contained in the letter was made available to Senator Webster for the purpose of framing his question? [More…]
Cavanagh is persistent, but 1 can assure him that the nature of the reply which I received from Mr Stubbs was not conveyed to Senator Webster. [More…]
Plutonium 238 does not occur in nature - it is man-made. [More…]
Probably what is in contemplation is something of the nature of the system of penalties provided for in such sections as 109 and 111 of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
Ministers cannot come into the chamber and prove to me that’ people can get instant decisions, instead compensation or things of this nature. [More…]
The whole difficulty is that the Government introduces legislation of this nature to deal with the trade union movement, but it never does this if the Australian Medical Association is involved. [More…]
Which former members of this Parliament receive Commonwealth facilities and privileges and what is the nature of any such facilities and amenities provided. [More…]
lt seems reasonable to assume, as there are 32 Commonwealth police officers in Western Australia who carry out the duties of the Commonwealth Police Commissioner, 12 of whom are to execute warrants of this nature, that the 12 should be able to execute 8 warrants in 12 months without very much difficulty. [More…]
Since the cost of line plant has a relationship with distance, it simply is not practicable to disregard distance in the application of charges for telephone calls, even calls of a special nature. [More…]
We must always remember - and 1 am sure Senator Turnbull would agree with this if he were here - that hundreds and hundreds of years before we had drugs of this nature there were certain deformities in kiddies. [More…]
Senator Sir KENNETH ANDERSONNo, I would not attempt to intervene in a question of that nature. [More…]
But it is important to understand that recognition must be given to the fact that by its nature, as I said before, it is subject to troughs and peaks. [More…]
But, he says, it is in the nature of the aircraft industry that it is characterised by unavoidable peaks and troughs. [More…]
I understand that, in the nature of things, next week it is likely that some of the other committees of the Senate, perhaps the Senate Select Committee on Securities and Exchange or the Senate Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade which will be looking at this question of Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd, will be sitting also. [More…]
The one-sided nature of the penalties can be illustrated by pointing out that the common form of bans clause inserted into awards under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act contains coercive measures. [More…]
It involves also inquiries of a factual nature. [More…]
The period is often shorter as it varies according to a number of factors, e.g., the rate of receipt of applications, the nature of the inquiries that are necessary in each case and the applicant’s ability to attend for interview. [More…]
I have no information from the Department of Foreign Affairs as to the message this picture is supposed to convey and nothing occurs to me from my own intuition as to the nature of that message. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate: Because of the unusual nature of today’s notice paper and the possible unusual nature of the notice papers next week, will he give some indication of how he thinks the sittings of the Senate will proceed both today and on Wednesday and Thursday of next week? [More…]
Appendix E of the report recommends that the School should be established on a site large enough to accommodate in the future other schools of an appropriate nature. [More…]
No honourable senator under privilege should imply things in respect of the character of any person, particularly a person who has given public service of the nature of the service given by the person who was mentioned. [More…]
The goals of the Peace with Freedom organisation appear to be political goals and they could be described fairly as being of an extreme right wing nature. [More…]
I am surprised that Senator Murphy in the course of his question at least did not advert to what I would have thought was public knowledge, that is, that last December the Treasurer on behalf of the Government made a most comprehensive statement outlining the nature of the legislation which the Government proposed to introduce in this area of general insurance. [More…]
I know that there are some traditionalists who are offended by the practice of occasionally having such statements or speeches incorporated in Hansard, but those persons never seem to be in the chamber when statements or speeches of that nature are being read. [More…]
Which former members of this Parliament receive Commonwealth facilities and privileges and what is the nature of any such privileges and amenities provided. [More…]
They are the effect of the acquisition on the level and the nature of economic activity and employment in Canada, the degree and significance of participation by Canadians, the effect of the acquisition on productivity, industrial efficiency, technological development, product innovation and product variety in Canada, the effect of the acquisition on competition within any industry or industries in Canada, and the compatibility of the acquisition with industrial and economic policies. [More…]
How can they be expected to agree on a matter of this nature? [More…]
The action the Democratic Labor Party seeks will be more or less in the nature of an interim injunction. [More…]
When this matter was first raised and started to be a matter of public concern and when it attracted the attention of the Democratic Labor Party certain economic conditions were prevailing which, while they gave rise to concern that the present position might develop, were not of the acute nature which is now so apparent and so evident. [More…]
When it comes to a clear definition of what is meant by a ‘public company’ or other terms like that, I suppose a motion of this nature is somewhat ineffective and inadequate. [More…]
If the terms of this motion are considered by the Government to be rather harsh in that they contemplate a complete freeze of all proposals of this nature by prohibition, interruption or impediment, I ask the Government to examine - the Senate having intimated its deep and urgent concern in this field - as the motion contemplates, whether the appropriate legislative and administrative machinery is available or, if it is unavailable, whether it can be created. [More…]
The Premier at the time said that it had come to his notice that officers of the Commission had voiced the opinion that it was something in the nature of policy of the Commission not to grant aid to the smaller and less populous areas because the benefit derived from those grants were less evident in those sorts of areas than in the more populous areas of the nation. [More…]
I understand from my own reading of the various types of financial arrangements and the approaches made on the various bases to judge the appropriateness of grants made to the various areas, that in fact something of the nature of a philosophy does exist. [More…]
An area of doubt still exists there, especially when it is understood that this is something in the nature of a philosophy of the people who are concerned with the provision of monetary funds to assist the various purposes and services of the States. [More…]
In relatively recent days I have referred to other matters of a financial nature as they relate to the economic performance of the State which place us at a very serious disadvantage. [More…]
The Association is concerned at earlier answers I received from the Minister for the Interior (Mr Hunt about Australian Capital Territory national parks and nature reserves. [More…]
Unfortunately, the resources needed to engage in an investigation of this nature cannot be made available at present, but the request will be borne in mind and considered for implementation when the opportunity occurs. [More…]
lt may well be that, when the very first petition of a particular nature is presented and read, any other honourable senator who has an identical petition should stand up and say: ‘Mr President, I have an identical petition which I ask to be dealt with in the same way’. [More…]
Will the Minister endeavour to have a statement made to the Senate giving any information of a factual nature that is available to the Government in relation to this project? [More…]
I had given something in the nature of a resume or a precis of the reasons set forth by the Commonwealth Grants Commission, in the document to which I had referred, as being the bases upon which judgments are made - or I presume and I understand that they are made - to determine the financial situation of the State of Tasmania. [More…]
If I am wrong on this I will stand corrected, but I fail to see why I should be denied the right to speak tonight on something which was embraced within a statement of this nature and which was the very basis upon which judgments were made as to the extent of the grants and the increased loan borrowings which have been referred to. [More…]
We all recognise that, but what puzzles me whenever Bills of this nature are before the Senate is the patronising attitude the Government adopts towards the sovereign States of the Commonwealth which have sacrificed their own taxing rights to the Commonwealth in the interests of the sane and sensible management of the economy. [More…]
Human nature being what it is- [More…]
Anybody who knows this area - indeed, anybody who knows country areas anywhere throughout the Commonwealth - will realise that an industry of this nature cannot be replaced easily. [More…]
How many files and/or films of a classified nature have beer issued to authorised persons or sections within the Weapons Research Establishments at Salisbury, South Australia. [More…]
To make a prohibition effective, successful prosecutions would need to be instituted in all 6 States, otherwise the ‘Portnoy’s Complaint* situation would be repeated in which a Commonwealth prohibition existed and in which the sale of the book was illegal in some States but legal in others, with the result that massive sales were being effected because of the undue publicity given to the prohibited nature of the book. [More…]
I ask: What is the reason for the delay in answering the questions of this nature that are on the notice paper of the Senate? [More…]
He has indicated that he has referred certain of the recommendations to education councils and organisations of that nature with a fairly firm view of looking favourably at the recommendations brought down. [More…]
But, because of the highly unusual nature of the problems arising from deafness - of course, these are concerned mainly with communication - the adult deaf do not fall into the normal categories of the handicapped or of those requiring welfare assistance. [More…]
The nature of the report, the magnitude of the recommendations and the considerations that were involved meant that it was, as I saw it, almost a blueprint - the ultimate - of what should be done in this field. [More…]
But that is in the nature of things to come. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party consistently has said in previous debates of this nature that borrowings for Papua New Guinea ought to be made available from areas other than Australia. [More…]
Not only should aid of this nature be encouraged; there is also a responsibility upon Australia to do a great number of things, particularly during the next 6 to 12 months, which will aid the new government and which will keep intact the bond of friendship that we have known now for many years, which will indicate that Australia supports the development of the Territory and which will be a vast change from what we have done over the last 50 years during which the Australian tendency has been to exploit the Territory without mercy. [More…]
There will be other questions of the same nature. [More…]
This Bill is essentially of a technical nature. [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 would say that this proposed reference in its own right, without arguing it, is one which by the very nature of its wording, as it was moved in November 1970 would require a tremendous amount of time from the honourable senators on that committee. [More…]
If we give the Committee this additional reference we will be putting upon it a burden which is completely unfair and unreal and which, because of the nature of the reference, will help to destroy the concept of the committee system. [More…]
If a motion is moved that the debate be adjourned and the resumption of the debate be made an order of the day for Thursday 25th May in the anticipation that in the meantime the Government will come forward with a specific announcement as to the creation of body of inquiry, its nature and the terms and conditions under which it will operate, we will be content. [More…]
This would apply to all open spaces such as Capital Hill, City Hill, median strips, nature strips and other vacant land. [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 freight on groceries and other commodities of that nature from Brisbane to [More…]
Because of its small population and the limited nature of its development Queensland has not reached the stage where it has the necessary power houses and water schemes to utilise its bauxite deposits to the full. [More…]
I do not respond to wide-sweeping, smear questions of that nature. [More…]
Will the Minister comment upon the apparent racialist basis of the Immigration Control Association’s publications, the nature and extent of its membership and the circulation of its newsletters? [More…]
I feel that I should draw to the attention of the Minister for Immigration, whom I represent, the other matters to which the honourable senator has referred - the nature of the publication, the people who publish it as well as the particular statistics to which he has referred - and leave it to the Minister to make such statement or to give such advice as he considers appropriate. [More…]
However that may be, the nature of the scheme is such that patients will be severely hurt if this common fee is departed from. [More…]
A speech of this 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 piece-meal basis. [More…]
That, of course, does not connote questions in the nature of a means test of the kind common in general legal aid schemes being applied in connection with an application to the AttorneyGeneral. [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…]
I should also mention that the Bill contains a number of other amendments of a machinery nature which the Government also initiated in the House. [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…]
The freight on groceries and other commodities of that nature from Brisbane to Longreach was as high as 98 a ton, but it has been reduced to $46 a ton. [More…]
There are many other discrepancies in freight rates, particularly in grocery items where some items of a similar nature are charged ridiculously different rates. [More…]
He has kept himself before the public by asking questions of a searching nature, seeking opinions and seeking help for the people whom he represents. [More…]
Firstly, the special nature of a career in the defence force. [More…]
Drug trafficking and drug abuse is a very large problem because, as I think is well known, the nature of the drugs which are susceptible to abuse is very wide, ranging from those drugs which are available for medicinal purposes and which may be excessively taken, through to other drugs which are taken for the purpose of pleasure or for relief from the tensions of everyday life. [More…]
The problem which I think society is faced with in dealing with those who have over indulged in drugs which are harmful to them and, in turn, to society - I am not referring to the abuse of therapeutic drugs - and in dealing with those who perhaps have not over indulged but have indulged only momentarily in those drugs which, of their very nature, can be seriously damaging, such as heroin, is that it has to come to a conclusion on where it should draw the line in dealing with them. [More…]
All these things can be harmless but what I say about marihuana is that sufficient evidence exists at present as a result of inquiries which have taken place throughout the whole world to show that marihuana has not been proved to be dangerous and any suspected dangers are of such a nature that they are considerably less than the dangers of other commonly used drugs. [More…]
I believe that inquiries of this nature enhance the reputation of the Senate. [More…]
If honourable senators have no ideas about the sacrosanct nature of 3 hours I ask: What is so sacred about Wednesday, which is about the only day on which urgency motions come forward? [More…]
The debate has not taken into account the changed nature and changed role of the Senate and the new measures to which it is devoting its time and attention. [More…]
It is a pretty serious state of affairs when a citizen of this country within the precincts of this Parliament, doing no harm, committing no offence, saying nothing of a disorderly nature, is apprehended by Inspector Headland, subsequently taken outside the building and placed in a police car. [More…]
I understand also, according to the Press reports, that after the statement was made the magistrate indicated that he may have disqualified himself because of the nature of the remarks he had made, and I understand he is not now sitting on the case. [More…]
I shall now briefly indicate the general nature of the recommendations made in these reports, and refer to those recommendations which the Government, in accordance with recommendations of the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General, has decided not to accept. [More…]
The Senate will shortly have before it the second reading debate on the Conciliation and Arbitration Bill 1972 which possibly, in the nature of things and if the time taken for debate in the other place is any criterion, will take a couple of days to debate. [More…]
That Act also provided for the appointment of an Interim Council, which was to examine the matter of the establishment of the Institute and to make recommendations with respect to the functions and powers of the Institute, the constitution of its governing Council, the site of the seat of the Institute and the nature of the co-operation with the James Cook University of North Queensland. [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 a research vessel of approximately 80 feet. [More…]
It is unusual for him to be in charge of a Bill of this nature. [More…]
The Minister who represents the Minister for Labour and National Service is the person who usually handles Bills of this nature in the Senate. [More…]
There is a need for further appointments to the Commission, but the nature and number of these appointments will be affected by the outcome of the consideration by Parliament of the Bill to amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
I said yesterday - 1 repeat it today - that this is a serious matter because the events in which these Aborigines were alleged to have participated were of a very serious nature. [More…]
I repeat to Senator Bonner what I said to Senator Murphy: Until 1 have received advice, which 1 will receive in due course from the Secretary of my Department, I do not propose to say anything further on the nature of the events or what might be the future action that is involved. [More…]
It must be appreciated that the nature of pharmacies has changed over the years and that in addition to the traditional work of the apothecary there has now been added the work of the retailer who dispenses stock proprietary lines. [More…]
The questions that have arisen since the enactment of that legislation have related not to its philosophical foundation, but rather to the nature and effect of the particular provisions in the legislation. [More…]
The attempts to speed up the processes of dealing with examinable practices and agreements may achieve a little, but it is clear that they, too, are of a nature which will allow the existing bad position to continue. [More…]
One can see that by the very nature of this Bill. [More…]
This legislation by its very nature will attract success only if both sides set out to make it work and enter into the spirit of the Act. [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…]
Ask senators on the Government side what they would do if they were workers in the sense of the word as we know it and something of this nature happened. [More…]
What would honourable senators on the Government side do if one of their fellow workers was dismissed for something of that nature? [More…]
The workers concerned walked out, as workers will always walk out over things of that nature. [More…]
Would anyone believe that any body such as the Liberal Party would have the temerity to introduce legislation of this nature? [More…]
What sort of howls and screams would we hear from honourable senators opposite if they found that elections could be won on a ballot of that nature? [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…]
However, during the course of the industrial dispute something apparently occurred which, on the information given to me, I regard as being of a very serious nature. [More…]
Because I regard the matter as being of a very serious nature, I seek answers to the following questions: Is the person whose name I have given to the Minister in fact a member of the Australian Army Provost Corps? [More…]
May I take the trouble, because the matter on which we are differing here regarding the very fundamental of the nature of the trade unions which are registered organisations under the Act is so important, to read from the judgment of the High Court in the famous case of Williams and Hursey, one of the great cases in industrial law, well known, because of the facts of the case, at least to the members of this Senate, lt is reported in 33 Australian Law Journal Reports and also in the Commonwealth Law Reports. [More…]
The Government, after having made very clear statements through the Minister for Labour and National Service (Mr Lynch) as to its intention to allow mergers to take place, and in fact its desire to encourage mergers, decided as a result of political pressure by the Australian Democratic Labor Party to turn about completely on the issue and to change in one most substantial part the whole nature of this Bill. [More…]
Consider the rush with which the Government has approached this Bill and the rush with which it approached a previous Bill of a similar nature which came before this Parliament. [More…]
When one then considers the way in which the Government is thrashing this legislation through the Parliament, one can see the class nature of this Government. [More…]
The very nature of the economic system under which we live is such that these disputes must occur. [More…]
This is essential to the whole nature of the capitalist system. [More…]
This ls one of the reasons why the standard of debate on these issues generally is at so much lower a level than the type of debate that one finds in the Parliament of Westminster where there are people who do have some experience in industry and some professional skill of a nature greatly different from that of the people who are sent along to this Parliament by the employers in this country. [More…]
This is part of the essential nature of the economic system under which we live. [More…]
It adds to the conflicts which, of their very nature, exist within this society the additional conflicts which result from a multiplicity of unions and which follow from the imposition of unjust laws upon the trade unions and the working people of this country. [More…]
I wish to speak on clause 1 because it seems the convenient way to deal with a most important matter which has been raised and that is the nature of the bodies with which we are dealing under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act as it is proposed to be amended. [More…]
The Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) has even less excuse for his mistake about the legal nature of organisations under the Act than he would have if he were relying merely on his obviously sketchy knowledge of the Jumbunna case which, after all, is a rather old case and on his obvious ignorance of the Williams v. Hursey case. [More…]
The court which was considering the case traversed all the authorities on this vexed question of the legal nature of organisations registered under the Act and gave considerable attention to the question whether an organisation under the Act is in fact a corporation. [More…]
There is absolutely no excuse for the first law officer of the Crown to come before this chamber and suggest that there is some doubt - any doubt at all - about the legal nature of an organisation registered under this Act. [More…]
The drafting of the provision in the original Act which provided that certain conduct in the nature of dismissing or threatening employees because of their being members of unions or of their intending to be members of unions was seriously defective. [More…]
There is a need for further appointments to the Commission, but the nature and number itf these appointments will be affected by the outcome of the consideration by Parliament of ihe Bill to amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
As is the case with Stale School Parents’ Associations, if a body does not qualify for recognition by the Post Office as an educational or charitable organisation, then its journal, regardless of its actual nature, is ineligible for Category ‘A’ registration as an educational or charitable periodical. [More…]
I now ask the Attorney-General whether, in the interests of law and order, he will take appropriate action to ensure that the Prime Minister does not continue to make public statements of such an inflammatory nature? [More…]
It is a tragedy that a person who has not the slightest interest in the welfare of the workers should be in charge of a Bill of this nature. [More…]
He would never have stooped to the level of proposing an amendment of this nature at this Committee stage of the Bill because of his decency, honesty and fairness in relation to these matters. [More…]
Like my colleagues, I deplore the action of the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood), who is apparently supported by his colleagues, in introducing an amendment of this nature in the dying stages of today’s debate. [More…]
As to the broader questions relating to the Postmaster-General I think the nature of the questions asked is such that they ought properly to go on notice, together with the honourable senator’s question of last Friday so that an answer can be given to them by the responsible Minister. [More…]
Firstly, the Government thought that it was inappropriate that a major policy change of this nature should be made by regulation. [More…]
Over the years there has been a strong argument that conciliation and arbitration are 2 precisely different processes in the industrial field; that conciliation, by its very nature, is the reaching of an award or an agreement by mutual consent. [More…]
I do not think that anyone denies the definition which I have just given that conciliation, by its nature, is a means of achieving a consent award. [More…]
With respect, I am opposed to fines being imposed at any time under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act, but I think it is most unfair to impose a fine of $1,000 on a person for an offence of this nature. [More…]
I repeat, notwithstanding the interjection of the Minister, that I am opposed to a fine of $1,000 for an offence of this nature. [More…]
We have heard rather generalised statements which are more in the nature of second reading speeches directed to the concept rather than to the particular clauses in the Bill. [More…]
Proposed new section 20 contained in clause 13 provides that it is up to the Commission and the parties to decide what goes into a particular dispute settlement procedure, and thus whether a particular procedure will or will not include sanctions provisions will be determined by the nature of the procedure which the parties themselves agree upon. [More…]
That section provides that if the breach of the award is a separate breach by virtue of a provision of the award to the effect that engaging in conduct in broach of a specified term of the award shall be deemed to constitute the commission of a separate breach of that term on each day on which the conduct continues the maximum penalty is $500 and where the breach is not of that nature, $1,000. [More…]
There has been no suggestion that anything of this nature would be done. [More…]
It is unfair to cut down debating time on a major Bill of this nature. [More…]
What action does the Government intend to take to prevent further deals of this nature being negotiated. [More…]
The length and complexity of the drafting is due essentially to the nature of general insurance business. [More…]
Whether I will give him the additional answer will depend upon the nature of the precise inquiries which were made. [More…]
General in order to provide him with evidence of what Mr Griffiths appeared to consider was activity of a criminal nature. [More…]
No action in the nature of conspiracy, breach of contract, inducing a breach of contract or other action shall lie against any person or organisation which arises in any way in or in connection with an industrial dispute” ‘. [More…]
There have been one or 2, but procedures of this nature fell into disuse because of great public disapproval. [More…]
The particulars that may be prescribed do not include particulars of the amount or value of any moneys or negotiable securities or of the nature of any negotiable securities, but do include particulars of the situation of places of business of financial institutions at which accounts are maintained, whether in the name of the organisation or in another name, of the designation of accounts or of the situation of safe deposits. [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 I have already referred. [More…]
Its sub versive nature makes it dangerous to our society. [More…]
Because the expression ‘industrial disputes’ is mentioned they must be industrial in their nature. [More…]
Incidentally, last year the total transmission time for programmes of this nature on commercial television stations represented a mere 0.5 per cent of total transmission time. [More…]
That is the nature of the proposal that was put to the Minister. [More…]
The fact is that the United States of America, West Germany and even countries in Eastern Europe make sure that their basic heavy industries are fully involved in all major projects of this nature undertaken in their countries. [More…]
Their financial commitments are very heavy and they are unable to make appropriations for extra works of this special nature. [More…]
I will indicate the nature of the motion. [More…]
Senator Wilkinson has expressed the concern that the Senate should examine expenditure of this nature in more detail. [More…]
There is also an examination of expenditure of this nature by the Public Accounts Committee and the Auditor-General. [More…]
It is- of a very technical nature but for those people who are interested in the finer details the measures are covered very effectively. [More…]
The capital intensive nature of the industry and the fairly modest earning rate make it a venture that is not remarkably attractive to a great number of people. [More…]
It is desirable to repeat yet once more that it is the practice of the Department to have discussions with local authority officers during the early stages of design, that is at the sketch plan stage, in order to inform the authority of the proposal and its nature, and to ascertain its reaction and requirements. [More…]
I believe that if we in this Parliament can do anything to reduce smoking or to stop people from smoking we will be doing something of a worthwhile nature so far as their health is concerned. [More…]
1 feel that it is relevant to look at the circumstances and to consider the steps which people with various points of view would have taken in order to emphasise the nature of the risk. [More…]
We do not know what future effects may arise from any upset in the balance of nature that we may cause. [More…]
It has also been said that this is nature’s way of maintaining the balance of nature. [More…]
Because the Government has no policy it is necessary for the Interim Council to make a recommendation of this nature. [More…]
The nature of that equipment is a matter for discussion and decision by the Council and the Director of the Institute; [More…]
Viewed from midway across and looking obliquely across it, the reef is like one of nature’s glorious flower gardens with all the different coloured pieces of coral edging onto each other. [More…]
Nature builds these marvellous things but nature also destroys. [More…]
Nature built this magnificent area of coral which was the best I had ever seen. [More…]
As nature had built so had nature destroyed. [More…]
So nature does rebuild. [More…]
There again nature, through one of the forms of marine life which it has created, has destroyed its own natural beauty. [More…]
Whilst we might be upset about some development and some adverse action of nature in the form of destruction, we have to remember that nature not only builds and destroys but also rebuilds. [More…]
As a Queenslander I am proud that the Australian Institute of Marine Science laboratory is to be built in Townsville; but as an Australian I am even more proud that legislation of this nature is being introduced into the national Parliament. [More…]
lt is a fine tribute to Australia that we are doing something of this nature to assist not only ourselves but also marine scientists throughout the world. [More…]
That is because of the very nature of the work of the Committee. [More…]
This is a large part of the responsibility that committees of this nature have to carry. [More…]
He would appreciate, I would think, the confidential nature of information that is provided to committees - not only the Public Works Committee but also other committees. [More…]
There is nothing whatever which prevents the Government from making decisions as to the cost or nature of the project or the area that the establishment will occupy. [More…]
Section 23 of the Act makes it clear that all evidence on these matters, except matters of a secret or a confidential nature, are to be given in public. [More…]
I want to put on the line and on the record the interpretation that I have of the situation, namely, that the overriding consideration with regard to this Committee is that all matters, except those that are in their nature secret and confidential, shall be given in evidence in public. [More…]
Sometime the lesson will be learned by the Government that measures of a major nature ought to be brought in well before the end of the sessional period. [More…]
In general such associations are sensitive to reactions of this nature and are anxious to avoid criticism. [More…]
The Board expects to receive recommendations on the timing and nature of these test transmisions from Industry Committees which are being set up by the Board and which are to study and report on this and other matters relating to the introduction of the Australian colour television services. [More…]
The honourable senator is allowed to give enough evidence to indicate the nature of his question, but he is not allowed to pad out the question. [More…]
The most recent report of the Committee of this nature is that dated October 1965. [More…]
It is a simple one-word reference - ‘Japan’ - which left the Committee free to planthe scope of the inquiry and the nature of the subjects into which it would inquire. [More…]
After a suitable lapse of time, depending on the type of tree and the nature of the country in which it is grown, the thinning processes produce timber and other by-products which return a profit. [More…]
That is why with a Bill of this nature we are disposed to propound an operative amendment in terms of our concern for the preservation of the environment. [More…]
the widespread establishment of national parks and nature reserves (including historic sites) particularly - for recreational and educational purposes - along the coast and in close proximity to large centres of population, but also - and of no less importance - for scientific study, habitat for wild life and the simple preservation of wilderness and: [More…]
We know that all States are concerned and have passed legislation declaring natural forests and have surrounded them with all types of prohibitions on entry, on use and on the lighting of fires, and have expanded fire services, because this is a diminishing national asset which is extraordinarily precious and is virtually irreplaceable except over a long period of time, as nature has demonstrated to us. [More…]
We agree that the development of the wood chip industry for export, particularly to Japan, is a matter of very great commercial consequence but we must remember that in the development of this industry, which may be of long or short duration because we know that commerce is subject to the vagaries of international relations and things of that nature, it may well be that when we have developed the industry at the cost of our eucalypts we will find that the trade has collapsed or disappeared and the eucalypts have gone never to be regenerated or recovered. [More…]
So far as I can see, the agreement has not yet expired and therefore the Bill perhaps is not of that urgent nature that requires immediate passage to prevent the supply of money from completely disappearing and the whole of the projects being suspended. [More…]
I urge the Government, in considering a re-negotiation of any programmes of this nature, to plan much further in advance than it did on this occasion. [More…]
Speaking for myself, I certainly envisaged - I think We all did - that standing committees would be distinct from other committees in that they would be set up to operate for a long period and to examine various matters referred to them including Bills of this nature. [More…]
Accordingly, I had no knowledge of the nature of the submission, which related to the provision of limbs for civilians, nor of the reply to Mr Jones. [More…]
I would regard the carrying out of surveys of this nature as being principally the responsibility of individual State Authorities. [More…]
That is not in the true nature of man. [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…]
I also mentioned that there was a need for further appointments of Commissioners and Presidential Members to the Commission but that the nature and number of these appointments would be affected by the outcome of the consideration by Parliament of the Bill to amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
Perhaps I could be permitted to express a personal view that those working in that industry might expect to work extraordinary hours having regard to the nature of the industry. [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…]
Special operations are the sort of assistance which I feel a Bank of this nature should be giving to the countries which are very much in need. [More…]
As advised in our letter of 27th July, and again during our discussion, we are anxious to have access to the names of all Cortina owners who responded to the advertisement inserted by Mr Lentin, our objective being to attend to any conditions with these vehicles that are of a warrantable nature. [More…]
I therefore now ask the Minister: Firstly, is not this revelation a full confirmation of consistent Federal Government warnings over a number of years on the nature and dangers of industrial lawlessness and communist subversion? [More…]
1 am unable to say whether that literature is readily available in the bookstores because I have not received a report on the nature of that literature. [More…]
I think the position is far better throughout the country than she would give the impression by the nature of her question. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for the Interior whether he knows that there are ‘ growing numbers of private cars being parked on nature strips and open space areas around Parliament House during the day and in the evenings. [More…]
Following the disclosure of the incorrect charges my Department is examining in detail the nature and extent of the checking performed by Australian staff in the United States. [More…]
Though there were some variations in the relative proportions quoted by witnesses, these depending to some extent on the nature of the goods and the size, shape and weight of packed units of cargo, the Committee believes it is reasonable to accept the following figures as a basis for consideration: Percentage of total charges - sea freight 40 to 45 per cent, wharfage 10 per cent, land leg charges 45 to 50 per cent. [More…]
After all, this is a shipping line which has very little at either end of its run because of the nature of its charter. [More…]
Multiply this a thousand times and add to it the numbers of consignees awaiting urgent cargoes which are not delivered because of industrial stoppages of this nature and we have some idea of the inconvenience and hardships caused by irresponsible actions on the part of maritime unions. [More…]
With all respect and sympathetic appreciation of the frustration which I think everybody has when he looks through any directory of information until he becomes familiar with the index and the headings and information of this nature, in a Senate in which the committee system is already very heavily loaded and has a considerable number of difficulties imposed upon it both in the provision of membership and in staffing, I question whether a measure like this should take up the time and, indeed, the expense of a committee. [More…]
I suppose it could be said that it is a matter of some public interest and that at least the operation of an inquiry of this nature provided an opportunity for the general public not only to do some study but also to bring forward its viewpoint on a matter over which we were led to believe the entire community was greatly inconvenienced and about which people were very concerned. [More…]
I hate people who get mixed up - no, I do not like using strong words such as hate’ so instead I will say that I intensely dislike people who are public representatives becoming mixed up in mining companies and things of a similar nature. [More…]
He is now the Minister for Works and has a continuing interest in construction work of this nature in Australia. [More…]
This Act requires that no person shall carry on a non-aviation business or deliver goods of a non-aviation nature at airport terminals without an authority issued under the terms of that Act. [More…]

No action in the nature of conspiracy, breach of contract, inducing a breach of contract or other action shall lie against any person or organisation . [More…]

Human nature being what it is, people often say they will speak for only 10 minutes and it turns out that they speak for 20 minutes or half an hour. [More…]
I ask the Senate to take particular note of the fact that that section gives immunity from a pecuniary penalty, except in the courts of the arbitration system, lt does not give immunity from a criminal law offence involving imprisonment or from compensation not in the nature of a penalty but by way of remedy. [More…]
This was followed not by legislation giving total immunity to trade unions, as the Leader of the Opposition suggests, but by a quasi immunity of a limited nature which had its origin in perhaps one of the most despicable political compromises in this field of law. [More…]
The word environment’ taken alone immediately conjures up in one’s mind those elements of nature which constitute the immediate surroundings in any given place. [More…]
References which come to this Committee in very great numbers need to be watched to assure that the Committee does not have imposed upon it too heavy a programme because of its innate nature and breadth and depth of interest.- This would prevent those things being done which are sought to be done under the committee system. [More…]
I am very concerned at the smearing nature of attacks that have been made in the last fortnight by back bench supporters of the Government and senior Ministers against the ethics of journalists employed on the staff of the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
I have not said anything so far that has not been of a political nature. [More…]
January, because of the nature of the weather, is the month in which a considerable number of people are on vacation. [More…]
It is suggested that there should be, not some clever devil things of video tapes, cassettes, films or anything of that nature, but an entirely new approach by teachers, tutors or special teachers so trained that in their initial projection of ideas to students the size of the class would not matter at all. [More…]
The comprehensive nature of your Committee’s report has already been of very great assistance in the examination of some of the more important issues in the field of teacher education by Commonwealth and State authorities. [More…]
Deductions are not allowed under this provision, however, for outgoings of capital nature. [More…]
The question whether servicing fees paid by an Australian subsidiary to its overseas parent qualify as allowable deductions depends upon the facts of each particular case having regard to the terms of any contracts made and the nature of the services provided. [More…]
It has become clear to me, as the Presiding Officer of this chamber, that all the questions of this nature are being directed to obtain information in the context of a specific matter of which I am aware. [More…]

There will be a change of government in spite of the beneficial nature of certain parts of this Budget. [More…]
The trend might be even a bit stronger than has been indicated by certain manifestations of a public nature. [More…]
I have no objection to this matter being referred to the Standing Committee, but I regret that nothing was done by the Government in the last Budget to assist people to overcome their problems, as a result of which it has become necessary to consider a proposition of this nature. [More…]
Referring a subject of this nature to the Standing Committee on Education, Science and the Arts poses the rather difficult problem of when the matter will receive attention by the Committee. [More…]
The matters involved aTe more than matters of an educational nature. [More…]
But it depends on the nature of the problem, lt may be expressed to operate retrospectively by deeming the provision concerned always to be valid. [More…]
If it is believed that he is dead, is there any information as to the nature of and reasons for his death. [More…]
Because of the nature of the matter of order I deemed it proper to delay the question for the adjournment until the matter of order was resolved. [More…]
way for any purpose, but there have been some times when less interference of a political party nature might have enabled the Committee to spend more time on the preparation of its report. [More…]
We do not want any advice of this nature. [More…]
He on that occasion gave what I took to be something in the nature of an interim reply. [More…]
I suggest to Senator Murphy that the Committee’s report has not been delayed in any way for any purpose, but there have been some times when perhaps less interference of a political party nature may have enabled the Committee to spend more time on the preparation of its report. [More…]
It is generally agreed that the main doubt about the feasibility has been removed by the decision of the High Court and I believe it would be in the national interest for the Committee to bring down a prompt report to the Senate, even if only of an interim nature, giving its recommendations on the desirability and feasibility of establishing a securities and exchange commission. [More…]
I suggest to Senator Murphy that the Committee’s report has not been delayed in any way for any purpose, but there have been some times when less interference of a political party nature may have- enabled the Committee to spend more time on the preparation of its report. [More…]
What is involved here is the consideration of the nature of the report that is to be presented. [More…]

When discussing this matter this morning I said that I thought this Government Business was of an urgent nature. [More…]
We do not want to have working men deprived of their rights because of some doubt about regulations of that nature and purport. [More…]
I had thought, looking at that, that it was with regard to penalties in the nature of penalties paid on a prosecution - a pecuniary penalty paid, to recover damages in respect of a period of imprisonment served and not what I am thinking of, namely, the ordinary civil suit in which a person may recover damages or an order under which a person may have an obligation to pay maintenance. [More…]
Perhaps not all the provisions in it are of an urgent nature, but certainly something needs to be done to ensure that those who are kept in New South Wales prisons under colour of federal law- [More…]
I do not wish to minimise in any way the serious nature of legislation such as this which is before the Senate this afternoon. [More…]
I think the very technical nature of the fault that has been found with these ordinances and these regulations and the manner of their notification, as well as the practical problems I have already outlined, is a highly important consideration for the Senate. [More…]
All I am doing is pointing up the highly technical nature of the decision of the Supreme Court that the legislation is invalid. [More…]
But it was pointed out that it was the first time that anything of that nature had occurred in many years. [More…]
All I can say is that we do examine the methods which other countries use and, consistent with what we regard as proper safeguards for individual rights and consonant with the maintenance of order in the public interest, we do our best in this country to ensure that activities of a terrorist nature are properly investigated. [More…]
Consideration will be given in the meantime to the machinery which would allow the Department of Civil Aviation to provide, beyond the commencement of full internal self-government, functions of a specialist and operational nature on an agency basis for the Papua New Guinea Government. [More…]
That type of thing is inherent in the nature of the evidence and submissions which such a committee would be receiving. [More…]

I will not speculate on the nature of that reward. [More…]

[More…]
This type of conduct must by its nature be an affront to the dignity of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
Such is the sinister nature of this transaction that on 31st December 1970 the Assistant Secretary of the Department put a memorandum before the Secretary without routing it, as he ordinarily would, through Mr Shann who was away. [More…]
So sinister is this matter that on the same day the Secretary of the Department put a written submission before the Minister to this effect: ‘We have 5 aircraft in Service configuration from the RAAF and if we go on with their conversion it will cost us $425,000 to get 5 aircraft of that nature to Nepal and Laos.

If the Government conducted an investigation it would find that there are other Army establishments in Australia where just as many happenings of a similar nature are taking place, particularly amongst the young people who are forced to serve in the Army and who do not want to go to Vietnam. [More…]
Are large numbers of private motor vehicles being parked on nature strips and open space areas surrounding Parliament House; if so, is this practice a breach of section 3, paragraph 3, of the Australian Capital Territory Trespass on Commonwealth Lands Ordinance 1972. [More…]
Since every member of the community is potentially threatened by this growing menace, and since the aid and understanding of all law abiding citizens must be sought to combat it, will the Government actively seek the advice and cooperation of the community as a whole, informing the Australian people as far as possible of the true nature of the problem? [More…]
I rather suspect, Mr President, that that figure is in the nature of an estimate because it results from a mere doubling of the sum presently paid for those who are 80 years of age and over. [More…]
Indeed the estimate proposed for all these measures is more in the nature of a ‘guesstimate’ than a reasonable estimate. [More…]
Min is by nature a social creature and he is mure and more dependent on other people for the answers to his most basic needs. [More…]

The accusations were of a very serious nature. [More…]
This is not to say in any way that Senator Young cannot ask a question of the nature he has asked but it must not be in the form and with the phraseology he has used. [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 will be apparent that, as 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…]
The question is not whether we will in appropriate circumstances support or oppose the principle of votes for 18 year olds but whether we support the passage of a Bill of this nature at the present time. [More…]

[More…]
Indeed, to this end arrangements have been made for advertisements setting out the details of the reference to appear in all capital city morning newspapers and in some other newspapers which have a national distribution, as well as newspapers which have a distribution of a particularly local nature. [More…]
It is a reference of a very detailed and diverse nature. [More…]
Because the nature of the reference concerning isolated children is, by contrast, one which, while having a wide range of interests and inferences, is capable of receiving attention much sooner than the prevous reference, it is therefore proposed that the 2 references proceed concurrently. [More…]
Therefore, I have requested the Usher of the Black Rod to inform the relevant officer of the Department of the Interior that motor cars are to be prohibited from infesting the lawns and nature strips of Parliament House. [More…]
In view of the fact that the Senate by its nature and the form of its composition under the Constitution has continuum over and above the term of the House of Representatives, and that the establishment and extension of the committee system of the Senate have brought under the scrutiny of the Senate matters of an important nature and that the investigation of these matters should proceed with a minimum of delay and that in some cases the Senate has required reports by a certain date, will you inform the Senate before the announced date of the dissolution of the House of Representatives whether it is proposed that the business of the Senate, not being business of a legislative character which requires the complementary existence of the House of Representatives, should be permitted to continue? [More…]
In this regard the Commonwealth has power to ensure that any proposal by a registered health insurance fund of the nature put forward by HBA would be kept entirely separate, and that is the point I was making. [More…]
Professor Pryor of the Department of Botany of the Australian National University, in a paper on ‘Nature Conservation in relation to Modern Trends in Australian Forestry’ delivered to the Twelfth Pacific Science Congress in 1971, mentions that much of the development of conifer plantations will be by conversion of sclerophyll vegetation - which is representative of our native eucalypts - adding that ‘in the broad sense the survival of the sclerophyll vegetation as a type is not at stake due to any known or foreseen form of agricultural or forestry land use’. [More…]
I refer briefly to the document ‘Australia’s Nature Resources - Minerals, Forests. [More…]
In view of his analyses and his explanations today it does appear that something in the nature of proper studies will be carried out in the future. [More…]
Because of the nature of the fibre of the pine tree, it is an important ingredient in the manufacture of writing paper and other products of the paper industry. [More…]

I have had letters of this nature from all over Australia. [More…]
Some Ministers and the Government then said that it would help to break up big estates but there are not too many big estates of that nature around the country now. [More…]

We think that the duty in principle and by its very nature is indefensible whether it is imposed by the Commonwealth or by the States. [More…]

Before proceeding to explain the nature of the changes the Bill proposes I take the opportunity to recapitulate the Government’s philosophy in regard to restrictive trade practices and monopolies, bearing as they do on the competitive climate of our economy. [More…]
The Government also recognises that the nature of the legislative provisions to control restrictive trade practices in Australia must be attuned to the requirements of the size and character of our economy. [More…]

It is estimated that there are 667,000 young people in that age group who would come under a franchise of this nature. [More…]

Questions - duration, nature of questions, and the manner of answering questions on notice; [More…]
Nature of matters for reference to the legislative and general purpose standing committees; and [More…]
If this is done, other countries will view us as progressive and as a country that understands the nature of the resources that we have and which we will develop to the highest level. [More…]
Both Parties, irrespective of the way we approach the matter, want to do something to correct what has happened in the past and to ensure that nothing of that nature will happen in the future. [More…]
What we say is: Ensure for the future that something of this nature does not happen again. [More…]
Having regard to the fundamental nature of the tax it would not be proper for an administrative tribunal to take these matters into account in deciding whether the tax ought to be paid. [More…]
I would have thought that this evening Senator Greenwood would have done the same in regard to Mrs McLean rather than say cheaply and nastily that she has gone to gaol not only to give the ALP a voice in the Parliament against the National Service Act but also so that the whole question of the American alliance, the ANZUS Pact, Vietnam and things of this nature can be raised in the Parliament just prior to the holding of a Federal election. [More…]
I appreciate the nature of the meteorological information provided. [More…]
That is Australia’s area of responsibility to everybody who is involved in air safety and considerations of this nature. [More…]
Since Senator Jessop’s statement of personal explanation is to be quite brief, and assuredly a matter of personal explanation, I would suggest that none of us has anything to gain by pursuing a contention of this nature, and no dignity to lose - in fact dignity to enhance if by withdrawal of an unnecessary motion the Senate’s business can proceed in an orderly manner. [More…]
I know that Senator Poyser will not regard me as exhibiting any impertinence on a matter of this nature in offering a suggestion of that sort. [More…]
By the indulgence of the Senate, a Senator may explain matters of a personal nature . [More…]
1 pointed out to you at the time, Mr Deputy President, that Senator Jessop had not claimed to have been misrepresented in regard to anything that he had said of a personal nature but that he was entering into a debate on something which Senator Cavanagh had said. [More…]
There are only 2 standing orders under which Senator Jessop, who has already spoken several times on this matter, can raise something of a personal nature. [More…]
But I point out that Senator Jessop was not explaining something of a personal nature and he was not explaining words which he had used. [More…]
At a time like this when we are approaching the last round-up on 2nd December we feel that legislation of this nature has a certain political content. [More…]
The inability to conceive what the future may demand in relation to capital equipment - type of aircraft and things of that nature - and the failure, to meet what will be the imagined demand have often resulted in a complete dissolution of operating airline companies. [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…]
For the AttorneyGeneral to be so irresponsible as to adopt the provocative attitude that seems to be inbuilt into his nature and to put the Senate on the wrong foot at a time when there are tensions and when politics is rearing its ugly head is deplorable. [More…]

The studies must be of a long term nature to ensure that the changes observed in the population numbers of the fauna species are not due to normal seasonal and yearly fluctuations. [More…]
Studies of this nature seldom provide substantial results in fewer than 5 years. [More…]

The nature of the tribunal that should deal with matrimonial and family matters is a subject that is engaging the Committee’s specific attention. [More…]
It is of the nature of an administrative body like the Monopolies Commission that it should be able to be flexible in its procedures. [More…]
Such a report will assist the Government in determining the need for and nature of any specific legislation that may be needed in relation to the practice in question. [More…]
In May the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) presented 2 statements about the nature of the proposed legislation on restrictive practices and also on this Monopolies Commission. [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…]

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…]
In a scheme of this nature, that relates to the development and care of children, every opportunity must be made to ensure that organisations assisted can operate their child care centres with compassion and with the capacity to help the most needy cases as they arise from time to time. [More…]
Clearly any law relating to the hijacking of aircraft deals with matters of a serious nature, matters which should be within the province of this Government and which should be dealt with. [More…]
Earlier the Senate dealt with legislation of a similar nature, the Crimes (Aircraft) Bill, which dealt in more simple terms with offences in relation to aircraft. [More…]
It is a matter of considerable gratification that it is possible for nations with different systems of law and in different stages of development to come together and after a period to reach a conventional agreement in which they shall call their municipal law in international aid for the prevention of crimes of this nature. [More…]
We are propounding these laws and abiding by these conventions, as a country which has, by virtue of its way of life and political system, certain freedom from crimes of this nature. [More…]
Where men are employed to push the bales of wool around the store or something of that nature and they come under the Federated Storemen and Packers Union award they, of course, will be paid the award rates for that appropriate work. [More…]
After all, the nature of the soil chosen for orcharding has limitations and is not readily adaptable to many forms of pastoral production. [More…]
This is a very difficult provision to interpret in view of the particular nature of orchard land. [More…]
Knowing the nature of the industry very thoroughly, and understanding it very well, the Federation has said that because of the need for urgent action there will have to be widespread grubbing of orchards at the conclusion of the present harvest. [More…]
I say to the Committee that, if it is not removed now, then if, as we confidently expect, a Labor government is elected on 2nd December, we will remove the excise and it will not be replaced by any substitute in the shape of sales tax or any impost of that nature. [More…]
It may well be that in future the examination of the Post Office and things involved with it should be the discipline of a committee which does that alone because of the wideranging, important and comprehensive nature of the Post Office. [More…]
Because of the important nature of the Post Office and because of the great amount of money involved I hope that as we meet next time - I reflect what Senator Wilkinson has said - there will be additional explanations to enable members of the Committee to conduct an inquiry which will be fruitful as far as the Senate Committee is concerned and most satisfying as far as the Post Office is concerned. [More…]
In regard to the other partly dependent further question which he asked as to why skilled technicians are available to the private sector but are not available to the Post Office, I think that the real answer lies in the nature of the demand which the Post Office experiences. [More…]
The Minister for Labour and National Service advises me that medical and other standards set by private employers usually vary according to the nature of the work to be performed, the existence of a retirement benefit scheme, the training required, and the type of career structure provided. [More…]
If a flat were then made available to a former Minister an isolated allocation of such a nature would have no discernible effect on the waiting time for the normal housing list. [More…]
I think that is evidence enough of the increasing nature of the problem, and it ought not to be dismissed lightly. [More…]
One of the reasons for the failure of leading scientists in this country to offer their services for research is that sufficient money has not been made available, and any programme which they would be likely to submit would be of a limited nature. [More…]
There is some limited regrowth in the devastated areas, but it is a regrowth of a different nature. [More…]
We are in the twilight world where matters which are distinctively of a Commonwealth nature are being dealt wilh in the first instance in State courts and as such the State parliaments are not very much interested in them. [More…]
For the purpose, I understand, a third floor of the Geelong Commonwealth Offices is under construction at present, if thai, is to be the location of the clinic it is rather disturbing that an establishment of that nature should be put on the third floor of a building. [More…]

It took the Auditor-General, because of the newness and the nature of the operation we are conducting, longer to audit. [More…]
In view of the nature of the discussion by the Estimates Committee, I wouldlike to emphasise that- the commissions to the advertising agencies are determined and allowed by the media proprietors, not by the Commonwealth: whilst the commissions are allowed from moneys paid to the media from the public purse, the commissions themselves are not public moneys; not being public moneys, the commissions are not subject to audit by the AuditorGeneral and the Commonwealth has no right to require the Commonwealth Advertising Council to divulge its allocation of the commissions to individual agencies. [More…]
I also mentioned that there was a need for further appointments of commissioners and presidential members to the Commission but that the nature and number of these appointments would be affected by the outcome of the consideration by Parliament of the Bill to amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
But I am querying whether some of the applicants had higher qualifications than some who were appointed, or whether the nature of a trade union or an industry with which their industrial activities were associated debarred them from appointment in favour of someone from a union or an industry which was more acceptable to the Government. [More…]
Where the Secretary certifies that compliance wilh regulation 51- that relates to the calling of tenders - of these Regulations, or with the last preceding regulation, in respect of supplies of a kind specified in the certificate is, having regard to the nature of the supplies and to the established practices in a profession, business, trade or industry connected with the supply of supplies of that kind, impracticable or inexpedient, regulation 51 of these Regulations or the last preceding regulation, as the case may be, does not apply to supplies of that kind. [More…]
The terms under which that certificate can be issued are limited to ‘having regard to the nature of the supplies and to the established practices in a profession, business, trade or industry connected with the supply of supplies of that kind’. [More…]
The only remaining reason’ for exemption is ‘the nature of the supplies’. [More…]
But, before such a certificate could be issued, it would have to be justified by ‘the nature of the supplies’. [More…]
I suppose that purchases of aeroplanes occur so rarely that if one knew that there were no other in Australia one could say that one was permitted to issue a certificate citing ‘the nature of the supplies’ as the reason for the exemption from calling tenders. [More…]
So, it would suggest that there is nothing in the term 46 - nature of the supplies’ that would permit the issuing of a certificate. [More…]
In fairness it should be pointed out that there is an opportunity for any organisation, whether it be a charitable one or one run for profit, conducting a nursing home to claim that it has a case for an increase because of, say, a new award being given to its employees or something of that nature.

I can put the Senate at ease by repeating to Senator Hannan that notwithstanding the injection of Dr Cairn’s name into the question, which would attract comment of a vigorous nature on most occasions, I believe that the negotiations that have been carried on over the last 3 or 4 weeks have reached such a delicate stage that it would be inappropriate to make any [comment whatever publicly here in Australia on them. [More…]

It is not appropriate to make public the precise terms of intergovernmental communications of this nature. [More…]
I put forward that point of view quite sincerely because I believe it would be in the interests of all concerned if a procedure of that nature were adopted. [More…]
Surely it is an anomaly that a worker who is injured in his employment while doing the best for his employer, for himself and for industry generally and goes on workers compensation should receive a reduced wage when another worker, who may be injured while playing cricket, football, hockey or any thing of that nature over the weekend, receives full pay for the period of his illness consistent with the terms of the award or industrial agreement under which he works. [More…]

[More…]
A somewhat analogous situation arises in the case of commercial travellers and other workers who are required by the nature of their jobs to stay overnight in hotels away from home. [More…]
Certainly, the traveller himself chose the hotel at which he stayed, but the choice was made necessary by the nature of his employment; apart from this, he was at a place where his employment required him to be, and at a time when his employment required him to be there, which should be sufficient to establish that the course of the employment was still subsisting, unless some act on his part had taken him out of it. [More…]
I should have thought that there would be no doubt that the effect of this amendment will be to extend the nature of the employment in respect of which, if an injury occurs, the Commonwealth is obliged to make compensation. [More…]
In its original form as presented to the House of Representatives it is of a temporary nature. [More…]
The gigantic nature of the investigation, the necessity to sectionalise its deliberations and its areas of examination indicate just how vast is the problem, how technical is the problem and how careful one must be in attempting to provide solutions. [More…]
It is rather unfortunate that Bills of this nature which involve such a gre? [More…]
Therefore, I do not think, in all fairness, that anything sinister - not that it has been suggested that there has been anything sinister - should be seen in the renewal of this Agreement at this stage, lt is something which is inherent in the nature of airline operations because of the necessity for long term planning and to avoid the disastrous economic circumstances that otherwise might be precipitated. [More…]
I think it is high time that the Government had enough intestinal fortitude and political backbone to accept amendments of this nature. [More…]
Usually they are very vocal about protecting this and that, but when it comes to legislation of this nature they are mostly concerned to save their political skins and will not support amendments such as we have proposed. [More…]
We on this side of the House realise the massive nature of the activities of the Department of Customs and excise. [More…]
My criticisms are of a constructive nature and I hope that some notice will be taken of them. [More…]
I am informed that it seems unlikely that the use of floor polishers on vinyl tiles could give rise to an asbestos dust hazard, since the nature of the operation and the materials used do not provide dust. [More…]

By the very nature of an urgency motion, no issue can be determined, but opportunity is afforded to spotlight some specific matter which, in the opinion of those senators supporting the motion, is of sufficient urgency to warrant the immediate consideration of the Senate. [More…]
Because of the complementary nature of the responsibilities of the Commission and of the Department of Health and because that Department will implement the recommendations of the Commission that are accepted by the Government, the Commission will keep the Department of Health fully informed on its activities.The Department, for its part, will provide expertise and general support for the Commission. [More…]

Bearing in mind incidents of this nature. [More…]
The fifth objection I have to these determinations is the confusion which has arisen bythe nature of the determinations, by the way in which they have been carried out and, inparticular, by the way in which they are now being implemented. [More…]

We will oppose actions by the Government which will give preference to trade unionists and give to them benefits which would be denied to others where the nature of the benefits are such that they should be applied to all. [More…]

The first part of it, namely the introduction of a measure of this nature in the autumn session, was dealt with in that Bill. [More…]
I think that many honourable senators would welcome the opportunity - other people outside would welcome the opportunity of assisting honourable senators with the material which they should have - to engage in a debate of this nature. [More…]
I do not know whether the inquiry he would suggest would be an inquiry of this nature, but it would not be enough that the setting up of such an inquiry is Mr Burchett’s wish. [More…]

It calls for the constitution of a Senate select committee of a nature totally different from that of any of the committees which have been operating in the Senate over the past 8 years at least, while I have been a member of this chamber. [More…]
The submission that I am making is that the substance of the proposition, of which notice has been given by Senator Gair, is of such a nature that there should be some delay in the continuation of the discussion of the motion - that we should not proceed with the motion tonight. [More…]
The submissions I make are of a very serious nature. [More…]
I would like to draw attention to something which 1 believe reflects the scandalous nature of the motion which has been moved today. [More…]
The DEPUTY PRESIDENT (Senator Prowse) - In view of the nature of the debate so far the point of order will not be upheld. [More…]

The only connections with Taiwan will not be of an official nature. [More…]

The Committee, by its nature, really is a professional committee. [More…]
I would be very interested to learn from Senator Wright, Senator Greenwood and other honourable senators opposite precisely what are the nature of the allegations which they wish to make against those 27 officers of the Commonwealth Police Force. [More…]
In view of the acute concern throughout the nation that there should be a frank disclosure by the Attorney-General of the reasons for his moving in with the Commonwealth Police on Australian Security Intelligence Organisation offices in Canberra and Melbourne and the even graver concern now entertained in all quarters of the nation and finding expression in the media, that the Attorney-General in his statement to the Senate yesterday confined himself to Croatian activities in this country but failed to give any reason for the exercise against ASIO or any details of that exercise and failed to inform the Senate and the people of the purpose and intention of it, will he inform the Senate fully of the exercise involving ASIO, including the reasons for it, and the nature and sources of the information which came into his possession which persuaded him to take the course of action which he took? [More…]
The material is printed on cheap paper and, indeed, is of a coarsely printed nature. [More…]
My question, which I direct to the Attorney-General, concerns the documents which were made available to some of us yesterday and which contain allegations of the most serious nature against a number of citizens of the Commonwealth and a number of persons of -Croatian origin in the Commonwealth.

I do not propose to answer the question in the terms in which it was put by the honourable senator but I will say, as I have said before to the Senate, that the nature of the information I discovered was extremely disturbing and such as to cause me to take action to preserve and to ascertain information as I did. [More…]
I wish now to ask the Attorney-General about the nature of the information he found and upon which he made his decision. [More…]
Are we likely eventually to be advised of the nature of that information? [More…]
If he is suggesting that the matter in any way had anything to do with party political matters or that there was anything of that nature, the answer is no. [More…]
Leaving aside the hypothetical nature of what he said - if there is evidence of extreme violence and so forth - the real problem with extreme violence, no matter from what part of the political spectrum it comes, is that in most cases, even though it appears that it has some national characteristic or component in the sense that it might be directed against a foreign power, there are no Federal criminal laws in relation to this. [More…]
I refer the AttorneyGeneral to the answers he just gave about the nature of this document which he found in the regional office of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, and particularly to the answers he gave to Senators Georges and Byrne. [More…]

In fact, it alters the substantive nature of the law. [More…]
He is on record as saying that the amended rules alter the substantive nature of the law. [More…]
I was making the point that, as a first breach of the rule and the very important rule, that statutory regula tions and rules should not attempt to alter the substantive nature of the law, what has happened, to use Professor Sackville’s words, is that the Attorney-General through his advisers has attempted to graft non-fault rules on to fault legislation. [More…]
But that in itself is not the substance, lt does not peg by some quaint ways which would have been available to taxing masters before, by bringing a matter before a judge, lt does not peg the rest of the costs, which will in future become larger because there will be twice as many petitions, twice as many sworn statements and twice as many pleas as to the nature of things. [More…]
T think there was nothing sinister, nothing of a grandstanding nature, nothing reprehensible in any way in what Senator Murphy did in introducing these rules. [More…]
lt seems to me that those honourable senators who have said that this should be done by way of substantive legislation clearly have not understood the nature of the matrimonial causes rules. [More…]
His making a comment of this kind in a debate of this nature is completely uncalled for. [More…]
Notwithstanding the ingenuity of man, there is no way in which laws and rules can be made to regulate human nature and in particular human emotions. [More…]
It is stated in the Constitution that the powers of the Senate shall be the same as the powers of the House of Representatives but the limitations, in the nature of things, of a second House, are quite severe. [More…]

I think the present Bill is an adequate representation of our present and anticipated commitments over the next 2 years, and bearing in mind that the final decision must be made by this Parliament, it is essential that any amounts provided by the Commonwealth under legislation of this nature come back for final approval by the Parliament. [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 determined by the nature of the levying arrangements for the guaranteed minimum wage. [More…]
A committee which seeks to examine price links and price levels in the private sector without having regard to the inflationary impact on the economy of the public sector would not have the capacity to’ examine the overall nature of the Australian inflationary experience. [More…]

I think he has been in this Parliament long enough to appreciate the work of the committees, to understand their nature and to understand the method under which they work. [More…]

They are David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson, the 3 men who dominated the conference which in 1919 parcelled out Europe, at the end of World War I. I think the history is instructive because so much has been said by Government supporters to suggest that the Croatian people are simply terrorists by nature and are engaging in crimes and terrorism without any cause or responsibility. [More…]
But if you shut your eyes to the fact that the people of Croatia have had genuine grievances and that no attempt has been made to remedy them, you shut your eyes to what is an obvious facet of human nature. [More…]
It misrepresents the true nature of the situation existing in Australia. [More…]
He made searches and did things of that nature which probably were not in the usual run of the duties of an Attorney-General. [More…]

I set out on the course that I did, as I have indicated, because of the nature of the situation that we were faced with. [More…]
We believe that the imposition of the death penalty for such crimes ought to be retained because of the very nature of the crimes and we believe that the majority of people would support its retention in those areas. [More…]
Of the very nature of the statistics which are relied upon there cannot be any assessment of something which is personal and psychological. [More…]
The retentionists for the death penalty are by nature and by the character of their cause inarticulate and non- propagandist. [More…]
If the contractor desires to sublet any part or parts of the works, he shall send to the Director of Works a written notice to that effect, and shall slate in such notice the nature and extent of the parts of the works proposed to be sublet and the name of the person proposed as sub-contractor, but unless and until approval is given by the Director of Works the contractor shall not sublet any part of the works.

Such offences there have had the element of inter-stateness about them - using the mails for fraud, engaging in fraud in the case of interstate trade and commerce and things of that nature. [More…]

[More…]
Will the Minister produce a clear statement for the people of Australia setting out the specific hazards of the French nuclear tests as alleged by the Government and indicating also, to obtain perspective, the nature, degree and sources of other man-made radiation including aircraft flights, X-ray and sunbaking?

But let us make no mistake about the fact that, depending on the nature of the explosion, all tests, including Chinese tests, are detrimental to the health and welfare of the people of the world and to future generations. [More…]
I should also say in reply to the honourable senator’s question that the Post Office cannot supply details of STD calls because of the nature of the multi-metering system used in our telephone network, but the warning system I have outlined should work to alert people that they are being charged at STD rates and thereby, it is hoped, eliminate a lot of the misunderstandings that have occurred in the past. [More…]
Those papers were on the nature of ministerial responsibility. [More…]
On the other hand, the nature of the allegation made by Senator Hannan was most serious; the suggestion he made about these police officers was a very serious one. [More…]
On investment it concludes that, whilst we should encourage foreign investment, including that from Japan, because of the particular nature of the relationship of Japan to Australia with regard to raw materials it is essential that Japanese investment, shareholding and equity in Australian firms, particularly those that take part in exporting to Japan, should be a minority.

As we all have said, and I say it again, the nature of this measure is related closely to the welfare of migrants, lt is true that they are not the only section of the community who will benefit from this measure, but because of the very nature of the case, it is a fact that the migrant community within Australia will stand to benefit considerably from the measure which is before the Senate this afternoon.

Last Thursday the Minister for Education tabled a report in the House of Representatives from the Australian Universities Commission and the Australian Commission on Advanced Education based on an inquiry which those Commissions conducted on the location, nature and development of institutions of tertiary education in Sydney, Melbourne and the Albury-Wodonga region. [More…]
That committee recommended that the fourth university in Victoria should be incorporated in 1972, that its precise form and nature should be planned over the period of the next 2 triennia, that a comprehensive external studies program together with regional centres for external studies in strategically located country towns be instituted and that an initial site for the campus, according to my colleague in another place, should be acquired in the eastern region of the Melbourne metropolitan area, with a possibility that a second site should be considered in a country area at a later date.

With the Government’s announcement that tertiary fees are to be abolished as from the 1974 academic year, it is not envisaged 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…]
This committee will become the commission when the necessary legislation has been enacted, and assistance for technical and further education after 30th June 1974 will be on the basis of the recommendations of the commission 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 Stales 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…]
But there was not a word to devise the real nature of the thing. [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…]
We believe that the person who does the job will be elected under any system of that nature, and we are not afraid to go to the people with a recommendation that, as was indicated earlier by Senator McAuliffe, was brought down by a joint parliamentary committee, which included members of the [More…]
The situation was reached with respect to Kara Kara that at the last election, despite the completely gerrymandered nature of the electorate, the handful of voters - fewer than 18,000 - elected the Labor Party candidate. [More…]
I say in passing that the proposal to alter the number of members of the Senate in order to grant representation to the Commonwealth Territories by the addition of 2 members for each Territory would alter, if it were carried, the whole structure and nature of the Senate. [More…]
As the name of the Bill suggests, it is the second of some four or more electoral Bills to be presented, the overall aim of which is to alter very drastically the nature of the electoral laws in this country. [More…]
As I mentioned last night, I would find such a Bill destructive of the very nature, shape and intention of the Senate. [More…]
I refer to the introduction of proportional representation which in my judgment has altered immensely for the better the quality, nature and character of this chamber. [More…]
The second of the changes seeks to guide the electoral officers, the distribution commissioners, on the nature of electorates. [More…]

I know that from time to time there has been a departure from the tradition when one political party has decided not to appoint members to a committee or to do something of that nature, but I put it very seriously to Senator Wright, who has been a member of this chamber for a long time, that the interests of all would be best served if he and his colleagues were to accept the motion that I have proposed. [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 to that in existing permanent ports can be introduced by regulation pending .the framing of permanent legislation. [More…]
Every time a law enforcement officer associated with the Commonwealth is alleged to have stepped outside his normal powers to search, arrest or something of that nature, are we going to turn round and set up a Senate committee to inquire into that situation. [More…]
In the light of these facts, and considering the Government’s heavy legislative program, it is rather strange that the Senate should be debating a Bill of this nature, containing proposals which have been endorsed already on several occasions in the past as expressing the will of the Senate, which relates to a matter on which the Senate can express only an opinion. [More…]
The true fact is that, until today no legislation of a worthwhile nature or of an important character has been rejected by this chamber. [More…]

I wish to preface my remarks by saying that the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt), a Tasmanian who sits in this chamber, when he came to make compensation available in the nature of bounty for devaluation of exchange, saw fit to limit an orchardist who may have employed 20 or 40 employees to $1,500 for the whole of his crop, whereas if it were applied on a per case basis proper compensation may amount to $20,000.

I ask: In view- of the Minister’s earlier answers that the nature of the proposed points system was in discharge of Labor Party policy, and his more recent assertions that the Australian Broadcasting Control Board is wholly responsible and autonomous in programming matters, what is the true position?

[More…]
because of the unusual nature, there is a specific reason why that provision is written into the Bill. [More…]
But we come back to the point made earlier in this debate, that is, that if there had been overt actions by other statutory authorities there would be grounds upon which to include words of this nature in legislation. [More…]
When the previous Government, of which Senator Durack was a member, was in power it did not move, so far as I am aware, to insert in other legislation a clause of the nature which he now proposes to insert in this Act. [More…]
I think it ought to be considered as it applies to all statutory authorities under Acts of this nature. [More…]

It is attempting at every stage to denigrate the doctor by painting the doctor as a money grubber in order to draw attention away from the true nature of its scheme which is virtually to railroad people into its scheme. [More…]

Will the Government publish a pamphlet for general distribution containing all relevant unclassified information on the nature and performance of this excellent aircraft of which the RAAF is justifiably proud? [More…]
We were only about 15 years ahead of the Labor Party in advocating the abandonment of the white Australia policy and things of this nature. [More…]
If they could have been persuaded to engage in consultation of a purposeful nature over the last 2 years, I have no doubt that the matter would have been resolved now. [More…]
There are bodies of a similar nature overseas. [More…]
No government could afford to put large sums of money into a developmental city or a concept of this nature unless it has a pretty good control and authority over the circumstances surrounding the development of the area. [More…]
I do not know how much the authority would override a State government’s powers but I think that everybody would concede that for a big investment of this nature to develop an area wherever it might be in Australia - AlburyWodonga is the only one mentioned so far - there must be a very powerful authority which can take the steps necessary to achieve the development, to decide which industries will go where, which will be financed and what usage will be made of the lands surrounding the district. [More…]
However, I want to warn them to look at all of these aspects before they contract for something of this nature. [More…]

That paragraph required the Auditor-General to report to the Minister on the adequacy of the provision in the nature of reserves made in the accounts of the Commission. [More…]
The deletion of that provision means that nobody has the responsibility for carrying the adequacy of provisions in the nature of reserves >in the accounts of the Commission, as would be the obligation in a public company under the Companies Act. [More…]
(d), the provision which required the Auditor-General to report the adequacy of provision in the nature of reserves made in the accounts of the Commission. [More…]
She asked why the new section 36 has dropped the requirment regarding the AuditorGeneral’s certificate as to the adequacy of the provisions in the nature of reserves made under the accounts of the Commission. [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…]
Other amendments, mainly technical in nature, are proposed to apply from 17 July 1972 for as long as the concessions for capital paid to mining companies continue. [More…]
In the course of deciding this matter the committee will consider the circumstances in which injury should be compensated for; the application of the scheme when death results from the injury; the nature and extent of the benefits that should be provided; how the scheme should be financed; the relationship between benefits under the scheme and other social benefits; whether rights under the scheme should be in substitution for all or any of the rights now existing; and other such matters. [More…]
If, on the other hand, the Government and the Parliament adopt recommendations of a similar nature to those recommended for New Zealand but decide that the benefits should be in addition to and not in substitution for existing rights, again the Commonwealth employees will be delayed in the enjoyment of those benefits without any justification.

However, we do feel that the nature of the controversial provisions is such that they require further examination and that, in view of the close scrutiny which these provisions received in the Senate Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs- [More…]
With great respect to Senator Hannan, I suggest that he got on to a lot of irrelevancies when he talked about the mish mash of the Government, trade union secretaries getting it easier and things of this nature. [More…]
In short, we were clearly persuaded by the Minister this afternoon that the form of words in the Bill are only of a temporary nature. [More…]

Matters of this nature are not the responsibility of the local councils. [More…]
The fact that the matters contained in the Stevedoring Industry Charge Bill and the Stevedoring Industry (Temporary Provisions) Bill are being dealt with as 2 Bills shows the phoney nature of what is being built up as a record for the number of Bills passed through the Parliament in one session.

That firm has commenced a campaign of this nature. [More…]
Docs the Government consider that Australian citizens are not mature enough to form their own judgments on where they should travel and the nature of the regimes of such countries? [More…]
The whole tenor of what I read in this report is simply an attack on the attitudes of the Tasmanian Government of the day and, of course, upon the Federal Government wherever there is an opportunity, lt is a great surprise to me that the Senate should have to suffer the indignity of a report of this nature being brought before it. [More…]
The Ordinance prevented the possibility of prominent public sites in the Australian Capital Territory which, of course, are of interest not only to the residents of Canberra but also to the tourists who visit the Territory - such as City Hill and the nature strips and other vacant lands - becoming camping areas.

The ordinance was brought in for a specific purpose - to stop anyone abusing the lawns or nature strips in Canberra. [More…]
The nature of the action taken aroused considerable resentment not only on the part of the people involved directly but also on the part of other people in the Northern Territory who believe that the Commonwealth is endangering the whole question of freehold rights and titles which up to this time have been honoured and respected.

One of the effects is that we now have to consider the expenditure of some $5m to build a 5-mile freeway through a difficult area because of the lop-sided nature of the development into which the city of Darwin is forced, being built around the perimeter of an Air Force base which occupies what ought to be the heart of the city of Darwin. [More…]
The nature of the payments under the present structure has given me considerable concern since I have been in my portfolio. [More…]

-Since the present Government assumed office it has decided that there will be no major projects of the nature referred to by Senator Townley without an environmental impact study being done on such projects. [More…]
It probably needs something of the nature of the extradition agreements in the sense of an international agreement reinforced by legislation of various countries which undertake to return persons or to deal with them in a way that will prevent orders of competent courts being defied by persons being taken out of the jurisdiction of the court making the order. [More…]
I spoke earlier about the nature of those remarks. [More…]
In view of the serious nature of what has been done and the extremely serious nature of someone being a party to the commission of what the Director-General of Security has described as a breach of the Crimes Act, I think that it would be more appropriate for me not to add anything further in answer to the honourable senator’s question. [More…]
They were of such a complicated nature that I had to use the authority vested in the President of the Senate to say that a great number of them could not be reproduced in Hansard. [More…]
A government which went to the people, pledged in the opening paragraph of its policy speech to open government, will not reveal to the people of Australia the nature of this index that has been used, and so no school is able to or will be able to understand the criteria by which it has been judged. [More…]
I leave it on that basis and proceed to the comment that I was about to make concerning the curious nature of the remarks made by Senator Davidson. [More…]
The nature of the data available for analysis has led to the formulation of a simple though not necessarily easy to construct index. [More…]

Referring to the statement that Mr Bourke is to get a grant next year for this western called ‘Latrik’ - I note that the newspaper article says that there will be a $165,000 grant - I think it fair to say that there is no way by which Mr Bourke could know this because I understand he has not yet even made application to the Corporation requesting money of this nature for the project. [More…]
I ask: Will the Leader of the Government in the Senate present to the Senate a list of the instrumentalities which could be described as statutory corporations, showing the date of their establishment and giving a brief summary of the functions of each of them and the nature of their accountability to this Parliament? [More…]
Let me indicate briefly the nature of the factors and trends to which I have just referred. [More…]

The nature of the crime is the important feature. [More…]
I certainly believe that society must indicate its corporate nature, and the obligation of all members ofsociety to work within that society and not to deter the society or members of that society is probably the highest duty which can be imposed upon citizens. [More…]
I think it should be demonstrated very clearly to the criminal element that if it does anything of a criminal nature to people who protect others we will show a strong force. [More…]
Sometime the lesson will be learned by the Government that measures of a major nature ought to be brought in well before the end of the sessional period. [More…]
It is true that the difficulties that have obtained in the Tasmanian fruit industry still obtain despite the fact that exemptions of this nature have been applied over the years. [More…]
So for what reason should we continue with an exemption of this nature which allows for the misdirection of money which we could be putting to better purpose for the benefit of the industry? [More…]
If it is true then there is an attack on South Australia of a nature which I have not experienced in my years here. [More…]
I do not wish to delay the Senate for very long, but I must join my colleagues in condemning the absolute stupidity of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) in writing a letter of the nature referred to by Senator Dame Nancy Buttfield to the South Australian Government, knowing that he could not do anything about the matter in any case without first consulting the other partners to the agreement. [More…]
In addition, the Managing Director of the Greater Union Theatre organisation, Mr Moremon, wrote to me only last week and said that his organisation was tremendously impressed with the quality of the films being produced by Film Australia, that it would be very interested in seeing the films available for purchase from Film Australia and that it also would be prepared to make suggestions as to what type of film could be produced by my Department which would be of a commercially successful nature.

I am not aware that any other former Ministers in recent years have retained official documents of a confidential nature which were made available to them in their former official capacity. [More…]

It may be that we will evolve rules by which something will be regarded as virtually purely political in the nature of a political offence or substantially a political offence even though having also the characteristics of an ordinary crime. [More…]
We are concerned about understanding human nature. [More…]
I accept what Senator Wright and others of my colleagues have said, namely, that there is a deterrent value in the death penalty and a person who denies it denies human nature. [More…]
Knowing human nature and knowing the feelings of people on these things, I believe that if the issue were put fairly and squarely before the average member of the public he would say: ‘Get rid of this menace in our community by getting rid of the people who commit these tragic crimes’. [More…]
The first is that ever since the first measure of this nature was introduced in 1968 until the last vote which has been taken, I have voted in accordance with my conscience which is very clear. [More…]
There is more in the file than has been revealed in the statements of Mr President and Mr Speaker but I do not consider myself at liberty to indicate the nature of the file. [More…]

I cannot give the guarantees which he seeks because we have not yet determined the precise nature of the new agreement, but I think I can say that there will be no disadvantage suffered by wheat growers because we are about to embark on a new stabilisation agreement with the industry. [More…]
I have seen works of very doubtful validity escape scrutiny as a result of reliance on the statutory provision that works of an urgent nature can escape scrutiny by the Committee. [More…]
There is no point in my seeing groups of that nature without a proper submission before me in order that I might know exactly what it is the growers have in mind. [More…]
I did my best to indicate to the Senate that, as 1 understood the position, there had been no final decision and that there were to be studies made of the nature which I had indicated earlier. [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…]
He has also indicated that the very nature of the subject matter under inquiry has involved the Committee in some very intense discussions because the nature of the subject matter before the Committee at the moment is one involving technical, social and commercial issues of great importance. [More…]
It is a fact of nature. [More…]
One could search the earth and would not find a country that is more favourably placed by nature. [More…]
It is a fact of nature that New Zealand is more suited to the production of dairy products. [More…]
But the reason why the Australian wool farmer can do this is again because of nature. [More…]
I have no intention of answering a question of that nature. [More…]
An exception is possible in this case in view of the special nature of the references and of the report. [More…]
I am sure that if it is of an economic nature we will be told that the Opposition has virtually stormed the Bastille to achieve its ends. [More…]
But I do not think honourable senators opposite found that anyone really got worked up about this legislation, except perhaps people who belong to the Commonwealth Society and groups of that nature. [More…]
I would suggest, because of the nature of the debate that has gone on so far, that for the purposes of clarity we should, with the permission of the Committee, take a separate vote on the first part of the proposition rather than on both pans of the proposition at the one time. [More…]
He wondered how holders of Commonwealth Teaching awards, particularly those in the Northern Territory, were able in that year, as reported in the annual report, to be able to obtain assistance by way of accommodation expenses and matters of that nature. [More…]
In the circumstances, I assume that the document concerned is available already to a number of members of the Senate who are members of that Standing Committee, and I would naturally think that it would be a matter for the Committee itself to make the document public, in the usual way in which it makes documents of this nature public, in publishing the records of its proceedings. [More…]
If the answer is yes, can he indicate the nature and form of the recognition and the type of awards which will be considered appropriate in particular cases? [More…]
But unless an increase in interest rates is considered disastrous in the community, no moderate 1 per cent, 2 per cent or 3 per cent interest rate will ever deter a business from logically, in the requirements of its own affairs, having to borrow money for its particular on-going purposes, either of a revenue or capital purchase nature. [More…]
The actions undertaken by the 2-man ministry included things of such great moment as the returning of a passport to Mr Burchett and things of that nature. [More…]
Let us be perfectly frank about it and admit this is one of the problems that beset industries of a primary nature because of the system under which we live- capitalism. [More…]
-Last week I noticed an advertisement inserted in the New South Wales newspapers by the Department of Education stating that schools could appeal to the Interim Committee for the Australian Schools Commission on matters of this nature. [More…]
Everything in the nature of a subsidy will have to be re-examined in order to ensure that it does not represent a contribution from the poor taxpayer to the wealthy taxpayer. [More…]
Just 3 weeks after the Budget the Government has realised the dreamtime nature of its Budget. [More…]
Opponents of this suggestion say that its effect is only of a temporary nature. [More…]
Additional amounts paid to amputees vary according to the nature of the amputation suffered. [More…]
After considering the increase of other incomes over the period and the flatness or declining nature of primary industry incomes up until this year, consider this fact. [More…]
It is a fact of nature. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite seem unable to grasp the significance of the reformist nature of the Budget that has been brought down by this Labor Government. [More…]
The establishment of a department of this nature, unprecedented in western parliamentary democracies, has demanded hard, forward looking, creative thinking particularly in relation to functions, structures and facilities. [More…]
In the Senate I have fairly freely answered, in the course of the last few months, questions which have been put to me about the nature of the legislation. [More…]
We are dealing with human nature. [More…]
Will he also ensure that the person or persons responsible for the negotiations are instructed that they are not to enter into any further purchases of this abnoxious nature in the name of the Australian Government? [More…]
The reason is inherent in the nature of cost inflation. [More…]
There would then be a spiral of a different nature altogether. [More…]
Could I obtain some information as to what the nature of the authority will be in regard to land prices? [More…]
We, the Senate, are charged by the Constitution and by our Standing Orders to be a House of review and to respect the terms of the Commonwealth Constitution and specifically to respect standing order 242, which is conceived in the very nature of the Senate, which is the child of the Constitution. [More…]
One of the things that concerns people who worry about this type of matter is that so often when a complaint of a legitimate nature is brought up in this fashion some reference is made to some other country in which there is some evil. [More…]
I pointed out that the nature of the message transmitted to each of the countries, China and France, was different. [More…]
First of all, he did not understand, or pretended that he did not understand, the nature of the Chinese tests. [More…]
So much has it been unwilling to accept the advice of its scientists on the National Radiation Advisory Committee and the Atomic Weapons Tests Safety Committee that in order to remove the necessity of having to listen to their advice it has abolished those 2 bodies and is reforming them, leaving off those scientists who do not give it information of a politically satisfactory nature. [More…]
I should say while I am on my feet, if I may, that some suggestions were made that the person had really come to Australia pursuant to some objectives of a political nature. [More…]
Several references have been made to the Post Office Commission of Inquiry in its consideration of concessions of this nature. [More…]
Fortunately, there must have been some discussion amongst the members on the Government side and the obnoxious nature and the political absurdity of that proposal became apparent to them. [More…]
Perhaps the most important matter to mention in this debate is the unfortunate nature of the size of the increases proposed, bearing in mind the extent to which the value of them has been diminished as a result of the economic mismanagement of this country by the present [More…]
I mentioned those things only because they are relevant when considering the real nature of the benefit being given to recipients by means of this Bill. [More…]
Having regard to the nature of one or two of the speeches, I wish to be heard to say briefly that, firstly, Mr Justice Toose, as the Minister for Repatriation (Senator Bishop) has said, is conducting an inquiry into the principles of repatriation. [More…]
I will have inquiries made of the armed forces to see whether other sets of a portable nature can be brought to Parliament House. [More…]
Over the years, whenever an endeavour has been made to put something into the- ‘Constitution which is of such a short nature, it has, as I recall it, been described in this way. [More…]
It is not in the nature of a constitutional document to give that precision. [More…]
I am simply saying that having regard to the nature of the matter that is before the Chair at the moment and the way in which the debate has been conducted today I could not uphold that point of order. [More…]
Any change of this nature inevitably creates a degree of uncertainty. [More…]
Have we a determined policy in situations of this nature? [More…]
I have given the Senate such information as is available to the Government, even though it is of a tentative nature. [More…]
If this is not possible the Government will have to face up to the fact that it needs to do a lot better than this if it wants measures of a revenue nature dealt with objectively by the Senate. [More…]
It is part of its turnover and if any business with a pretty big turnover loses some of that turnover this will affect the business itself because it must then employ fewer staff or make adjustments of that nature. [More…]
We should also examine the provision for land lines for country radio stations and other matters of that nature and particularly the telegraphic services to country newspapers. [More…]
I have in my hand a bundle of letters from a variety of organisations of a social welfare nature. [More…]
It is all very well to add continually to charges in an industry which, by the very nature of its operations, has no competition. [More…]
Freedom, of course, is a heady draught and the thaw, as is the nature of such things, largely got out of hand. [More…]
I am not aware that the Australian Government will be conducting an investigation of the nature outlined by the honourable senator. [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 Bill, Mr President, seeks an amendment of the Immigration (Education) Act 1971 which, in defining in section 3 capital equipment of an educational nature’ which could be financed under the child program, specifically excluded any building. [More…]
The purpose of clause 3 is to extend the definition of capital equipment of an educational nature in section 3 of the original Act to provide also for portable class-rooms but not to include any other building. [More…]
In view of the emergency nature of the program and to ensure proper use of funds, it is desirable that the Australian Government have the authority to arrange supply where this is necessary. [More…]
We propose, this Bill being of an urgent nature, that it should be given a speedy passage through the Senate. [More…]
But because of the demountable nature of the classrooms, when the need for them no longer remains they will be removed. [More…]
What is the nature and value of all forms of aid which the Australian Government proposes to provide during . [More…]
-The question of interest rates and to what extent the Government would be concerned in dealing with banking or transactions in the nature of banking outside of the banking corporations themselves- the ones that are spoken of as banks in the strict sense- is an important matter for the Treasurer. [More…]
In many cases whole herds have to be purchased and slaughtered not only because of the contagious nature of brucellosis but because the destruction of infected herds is the only way that an outbreak in an area can be clamped down on. [More…]
If ever there was a proper time to introduce legislation of this nature it is now while the market is good and looks like remaining good for the immediate years ahead. [More…]
Plans that have been evolved over the last few years for the Library to fulfil its overall service function to the nation mean that such things as policy, planning and operation make the National Library an institution of a major nature and certainly comparable with a great many government departments. [More…]
Legislation of this nature will enable the National Library to play an effective role. [More…]
None, in view of the apparently isolated nature of the failure. [More…]
Although the letter was placed in the departmental file for future reference, I would still preserve the confidential nature of the correspondence. [More…]
There was opposition to the arbitrary nature of the proposal made by the Federal Government. [More…]
I can only suspect because I do not know for certain, that there must be some people speculating in this area, otherwise human nature would not be what it is. [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…]
In view of the importance and the detailed nature of the question asked by the honourable senator it is appropriate that it be placed on notice for consideration by the Minister for Foreign Affairs directly. [More…]
Honourable senators may address themselves to the first reading of bills of this nature notwithstanding that the remarks to be made are not relevant or germane to the purpose of the bill. [More…]
Let the highly misleading nature of what the Prime Minister said be clearly understood. [More…]
It was contrived in a situation in which it was not a government decision but an Australian Labor Party Caucus decision which decided that the incomes referendum would be introduced, and the highly misleading nature of the arguments to be advanced in favour of it are matters to which it is appropriate to draw the attention of the Senate on a debate of this character. [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 subsection. [More…]
I do not care what is in the rules of an organisation or what is in an award covering employees; a rule might say that members shall not engage in a dispute without first taking a secret ballot or something of that nature, but if something happens on the job the members will not worry about that rule; they will stop work. [More…]
The simple writing of laws of this nature will not enhance the relations between workers and employers in any way. [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…]
If the action were a breach of civil or criminal law or if it were of an unlawful nature as has been referred to the employer has a complete defence. [More…]
The essence of our approach to the matter is that when there are disputes- and it is in the nature of things, no matter what the Opposition may say, that there will be disputes- we should strive to have machinery which will bring the parties together as quickly as possible, without the framework of inflexibility which was imposed on these matters by the legislation introduced by the then Liberal Government last year, which ridiculously separated conciliation from arbitration on the principle that they were 2 totally separate functions instead of 2 closely related matters. [More…]
But it is in the nature of things that we have different views of the public interest. [More…]
Can the Minister inform the Senate of the nature of that assistance? [More…]
I believe that the whole philosophy of the sitting of Senate committees, the whole question of the size and nature of references to them, must be looked into. [More…]
It must take a long while to do anything of that nature. [More…]
Anything I say will be in the nature of constructive criticism. [More…]
It bears a space for the signature of the chairman of the Aboriginal council on the respective reserve. [More…]
I have no quarrel as to whether a council, which is all black, has the right to issue or withdraw or withhold a permit of that nature, but I have a quarrel with the continuation of 2 Acts- one for Torres Strait Islanders and one for Aborigines- which should have been abolished many years ago. [More…]
So in fact any authority that Aborigines may have as members of a council is of an extremely limited nature. [More…]
In view of the urgent nature of this matter I especially ask the Minister to proceed as speedily as possible before the matter recedes so far into history as to be no more relevant than Caesar’s Gallic wars. [More…]
Without at this stage stating specifically my views on pool buying I can say that the advice to me to date- it is only of a preliminary nature- is that some years ago commercial stations and the Australian Broadcasting Commission formed a buying pool of their own for the purpose of purchasing foreign television films from abroad. [More…]
It is responsible not only for producing television programs in Australia for Australians but also it is engaged in broadcasting networks throughout Australia and is responsible for the production of Radio Australia’s overseas transmissions and for the production of concerts, performances of symphony orchestras and things of that nature. [More…]
The creation of investment bonds will enable the Corporation to support projects that by their nature cannot be financed with borrowed money. [More…]
Yet, I must say- I suppose that this has a relationship to the Bill in some way- that we note the maladministration which has been going on in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs as something of a grave nature. [More…]
Given the commercial nature of the activity which operates in the market place- not in the Reserve Bank style- the financial assistance to be provided for this purpose will be a grant of $10m and a repayable advance which is currently estimated at $5m, but this may vary. [More…]
We battled through that period in spite of other setbacks of natural origin- droughts, and things of that nature. [More…]
I think it is reprehensible that rumours of this nature have to be sent around the countryside in order to confuse farmers who. [More…]
When I say that it is repaid for opposition to the national service scheme and matters under the Crimes Act, that does not include matters in which there was something in the nature of violence committed in the course of opposition to the National Service Act. [More…]
It is a pity that the time of the Senate should be taken up with a debate of this nature. [More…]
To my way of thinking, for the proper supervision of these guarantees the Consolidated Revenue Fund should not be automatically imprest with the appropriation of a permanent and continuing nature, but these guarantees should be paid out of the Advance to the Treasurer. [More…]
This scrutiny is necessary because of the highly selective nature of the process. [More…]
Turning to the details of the Bill, the first 5 clauses are of a machinery nature. [More…]
The remaining clauses are mainly of a machinery nature and are similar to those contained in the existing legislation. [More…]
The file includes some Cabinet documents or some other matters of a very personal nature which I am sure he would not want. [More…]
I suggest that his real purpose is to prevent any tendency on the part of union officials entering premises to do anything in the nature of the recruitment of non-unionists. [More…]
The Opposition will include in the amendment which it has proposed words of the nature that Senator Little has suggested. [More…]
Because of the very nature of the experience which is required of them, they are usually not so young as perhaps they themselves would like to be. [More…]
Mr Ryan: If I omitted the words ‘I seek leave to appear’ it is because I have not appeared before a Tribunal of this nature before, Your Honour. [More…]
The fact that he served honourably and well confirms the view of Senator Little that Australia wants a pretty wide scope from which to make appointments of this nature. [More…]
The question of Israel’s ultimate boundaries and the nature of a final settlement lie in the hands of the parties concerned and must flow as in the Prime Minister’s phrase ‘from agreement freely arrived at between the parties in accordance with the principles of resolution 242’. [More…]
Coupled with this, one finds very frequently the most stringent, caustic observations by the Government of Israel and its supporters about the United Nations, what they describe as the failure of the United Nations and the unsatisfactory nature of the United Nations. [More…]
Certainly the treatment of Jewish minorities in a number of Arab countries is of such a nature as would inspire any Israeli to have the utmost fear of what could be done to him. [More…]
Anticipating that a question of this nature would be asked, I sought some details from my colleague, the Minister for Education in another place, Mr Beazley. [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…]
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…]
A man judges whether he is well done by or ill done by in comparison with someone doing something of a like nature or with what operated before. [More…]
His second statement is actually correct because prices are negotiated by the statutory bodies- such as the Australian Wheat Board- and they are of a commercial nature. [More…]
These arrangements, I might say, are of an interim nature pending the establishment of the National Gallery as a statutory authority. [More…]
A member who has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any proposal before the Committee, otherwise than as a member and in common with the other members, shall, as soon as possible after the facts have come to his knowledge disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Committee. [More…]
In regard to hospital inpatient treatment it was pointed out that because of the segregated nature of repatriation hospitals there seemed to be created in the community a feeling that first class and second class types of citizens entered hospitals. [More…]
At least this does point up something of the ecumenical and democratic nature of the Committee as a whole. [More…]
I am intrigued by the nature of the evidence given to the Committee in relation to this heading of investigation. [More…]
For those reasons I rise to alert members of the Committee of the fact that I would welcome their giving some attention to this factor so that when the debate is resumed they may be able to indicate the nature, extent and depth of their investigations in this area and reassure the Senate that the matter received their scrutiny and that on their assessment, not so much on the opinion of the Department, as is recited in the chapter by an extract from the submission of the Department, they are satisfied that the spirit of the Act is being observed. [More…]
I believe that any misunderstanding that existed in Japan about the nature of the [More…]
Since that date there had been long and fruitful associations, trade delegations passing to and from Australia, other contacts of a more particular nature, and of course there had been prior ministerial meetings between Japanese and Australian Ministers. [More…]
Similarly, to state, as the Prime Minister does state, that any misunderstanding that existed in Japan about the nature of the Government’s policies on minerals and energy and overseas investment has now been cleared away’ requires more than the Prime Minister’s assertion that it has been cleared away. [More…]
When it was suggested at the last meeting of the Committee that, as all the evidence on the Omega station had been heard, there should be a deferment of hearing the first evidence on the question of dual nationality so that some witnesses could be heard on matters of a more general nature, this suggestion was agreed to by the Chairman and by all the Labor Party members of the Committee who were present at that meeting. [More…]
That is a story of murder and brutality as bad in nature and in magnitude as the German genocide of the Jews. [More…]
What was the gutsy nature- if I may be pardoned a good Australianism- if any, of the Australian contribution? [More…]
The same thing occurs with great round phrases: ‘We talked about nature of the Government’s policies on minerals and energy’. [More…]
If the amendments- certainly the substantive amendments proposed by Senator Rae on behalf of the Opposition- are carried they will so alter the nature of the proposed Schools Commission, not to amend it or to improve it or make it work a little more easily, but to change totally its nature, and although it will have the same name it will bear no resemblance to the organisation proposed in this Bill. [More…]
-A Bill of this nature is, in my view, one of the most important Bills that can come before the Australian Parliament. [More…]
We are being called upon to examine Bills of this nature- most important Bills demanding the most comprehensive inquiry- and at the same time we have placed before us a series of Bills which will completely revolutionise the economic system of Australia. [More…]
How insincere can the Country Party be when it states policies of that nature. [More…]
Have honourable senators heard anything of a more hypocritical nature than that statement? [More…]
I say to honourable senators opposite: Parents from isolated areas made representations continually to you over this subject and you continually refused to provide anything of this nature. [More…]
As background, I draw the attention of honourable senators to the complex nature of this particular inquiry. [More…]
This Act encouraged organisations of a non-profit nature to enter the field of the provision of homes for senior citizens. [More…]
I do not think it is sufficient just to say that in order to meet a situation we will provide a whole lot of recreational activities, craft centres and things of that nature. [More…]
But like all organisations of this kind they not only provide community centres but they also reflect community patterns, and because human nature is what it is they also run into the problem of personal feelings, and sometimes those personal feelings can be very strong. [More…]
I think that in the implementation of this section of the legislation the Minister or those who will administer the Act on his behalf should always be very watchful of this element of human nature so that senior citizens will not be disadvantaged in the running of these centres, so that the community in which the centre is placed will not be disadvantaged and so that the centre can maintain a high reputation of care for people of senior years. [More…]
This is an example of how the Opposition is anxious to give speedy passage to legislation, particularly legislation of this nature which provides benefits to the needy in our community. [More…]
I support these 2 very important Bills which are designed to assist Australian citizens who have a handicap of some nature. [More…]
I was interested to hear Senator Dame Nancy Buttfield say that in America and Great Britain certain contracts require the Government to give work to sheltered workshops provided they can meet time schedules and conditions of this nature. [More…]
But I believe that in other circumstances in other States- I can speak only of my own Statesheltered workshops have faced financial difficulties because of the nature of their work. [More…]
The problem arises just from the nature of the work. [More…]
There is a tendency by this Government to recruit special advisers and people of that nature, tending to by-pass the bodies which normally should be available for information. [More…]
I commend the Australian nuclear scientists who are of world class- the Baxters, the Tittertons, and people of that nature. [More…]
He pointed out the special nature of the provision- it is the only provision known to me- of the Constitution that provides for a joint sitting. [More…]
I feel that we have to do something of this nature. [More…]
A meeting of the nature suggested would decide nothing constitutional or positive. [More…]
I still prefer that an issue of this nature be decided in the forms of which the Senate already enjoys provision, and that is in a legislative measure in the form of a Bill. [More…]
Because of the unique nature of the responsibilities of Radio Australia in gathering material to be presented in its various public affairs programs abroad, I suggested to the ABC that it should appoint a program officer for Radio Australia in Canberra. [More…]
I understand that a recommendation of that nature is now in the course of being presented to me, and I hope to be able to give my approval to it in the near future. [More…]
The Commission is looking closely at this matter and it hopes to be able to complete sufficient programs of a documentary nature for one full term of transmissions during 1974. [More…]
I think it is extremely important that provision for such a variety should be written into a legislative measure not only to place it in an ordered manner but also to provide for the ongoing nature of the Act and also of the Commission. [More…]
At the outset let me congratulate all those who have taken part in this debate for their moderation and for the temperate nature of the expression of their points of view. [More…]
It is true that Queensland is likely to fight to prevent any sort of law of this nature being passed. [More…]
However, to date there has been no challenge of this nature. [More…]
-The Minister for Health in another place advised me that Senator McLaren might be seeking information of this nature. [More…]
Now, at this stage, we start to get criticised and honourable senators opposite start to import something of a political nature into the matter. [More…]
There it is seen that in respect of the Parliament the increases are substantially those brought about by salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
The Department of the Attorney-General has only one substantial addition to salaries and payments in the nature of salary and that is for expenditure under the Criminology Research Act which we all support as an admirable project. [More…]
The balance is due largely to salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
The appropriation for the Department of Transport, which is mostly for the Bureau of Roads, is for expenditure on items other than salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
This Government has withdrawn support from primary industry in an attempt to find funds for programs of a socialist nature which it wishes to carry out. [More…]
It shows the thinking, the paternalism and the autocratic nature of the Government. [More…]
Before doing so the Minister has the effrontery to ask the Parliament to pass a Supply Bill of an emergency supplementary nature including this item. [More…]
If the request of the Committee which has not been formulated is disregarded, this is a challenge to the very nature, purpose and existence of the Estimates Committees. [More…]
The numerical weight of the Bills in itself would be disconcerting, but when we look at the nature of the legislation, when we see the fundamental character of the matters which are contemplated in the legislation and the vast and almost unimaginable consequences that can flow from it, we realise the tremendous responsibility that is now reposed in this place. [More…]
I can say on behalf of the Democratic Labor Party that we do not propose to allow ourselves as a party to be dragooned into taking this tremendous responsibility and making these tremendous, far reaching and sometimes historic decisions unless we have adequate opportunity, a proper opportunity, to seek such advice of a technical nature as we have to get from outside from those who can advise us on the legislation on which we are asked to pass a final judgment. [More…]
Apart from the item relating to the National Collection, the remainder of the money is for salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
This attitude shows how foolish are the arguments of that nature that can be advanced. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of the inquiries? [More…]
At this stage I would like to point out that it is not intended that the continuing scrutiny be carried out by Estimates Committee E due to the number of inquiries made, the information sought and the complex nature of the operations of the company involved in this matter. [More…]
Because of the nature of the development of Canberra as our national capital, there has been a very large expenditure of public money to provide facilities such as the lake, parklands, many very attractive and modern public buildings and structures such as the water jet, and the carillion and the lighting of buildings at night. [More…]
The Labor Party has deprived these industries of concessions which they had by way of small subsidies; it has deprived primary producers of the taxation deductions that were available to encourage them to become more efficient by replacing their old machinery with new machinery which in turn would create efficiency in production; and it has withdrawn from them the ability to be able to obtain taxation deductions on their assessable incomes for works of a capital nature such as the construction of dams and storage sheds for fodder. [More…]
A change of this nature is basic and it is revolutionary. [More…]
So, from 1964 until this financial year- a period of a decade- the actual additional impost in taxation of this nature on the commercial broadcasting stations has been comparatively little. [More…]
To say the least, whatever be the facts, Senator Gietzelt has the right- indeed, the responsibility- to raise matters in this Parliament if he believes that they are of an investigatory nature. [More…]
There are also some amendments of a consequential nature which can be found in clauses 2 and 5 of the Bill. [More…]
It is in the nature of a pluralist society that we should have pressure groups. [More…]
That type of criticism does not lend itself to a debate of this nature. [More…]
To try to fortify fallacious arguments of that nature does nothing to support the amendment moved by Senator Rae. [More…]
3 ) The charges were of a criminal nature. [More…]
I ask honourable senators to look at the nature of some of these Bills. [More…]
I have arranged for discussions to be held with the relevant authorities so that the nature of appropriate alternative provisions can be determined. [More…]
The other amendments which have been put by the Opposition today in the main were of a consequential nature to Senator McManus’ amendment yesterday. [More…]
The clause then goes on to say that the Commission may undertake and cause to be undertaken research and matters of that nature. [More…]
In short, the words used in the Bill have been chosen to demonstrate the Government’s intention to appoint an independent expert advisory body to assist the Australian Government in developing a national program for improving the quality of the education system and to recommend to the Government the nature and extent of the financial assistance it ought to make available to the States for both government and nongovernment schools. [More…]
How can a charter of that nature be incorporated in the legislation of this country when the Government has a provision in its education legislation which contradicts the Charter on Human Rights? [More…]
It is one thing to say that there is a right of choice, but we always have to be watchful that circumstances do not develop, in terms of either expenses or fees or things of this nature, so that this right no longer exists or is priced out of existence or seriously impeded. [More…]
It is a very wide and all-embracing term relating to a body which is an advisory board of a general overall nature. [More…]
I think that in matters of this nature we should bear in mind that we should compare like with like rather than like with unlike. [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…]
I had noticed the reports and because I assumed that a question of this nature would be asked of me I have been in touch with the Australian Broadcasting Control Board to obtain some relevant information. [More…]
The Act requires in section 21, that an inquiry conducted by the Tribunal shall be held in public, but that, if any witness objects to giving any evidence in public that the Tribunal is satisfied is of a confidential nature, the Tribunal may take that evidence in private if it considers that it is desirable to do so. [More…]
Section 23 (5) provides that the Tribunal shall not make such information or documents available to any person if the company concerned informs the Tribunal that it objects to the information or documents being so made available and the Tribunal is satisfied that the information is, or the documents are, of a confidential nature. [More…]
He smiles, but I know he is not smiling in indifference to the industry; that would not be his nature if he understood it. [More…]
One of the usual tales trotted out when anything is mentioned of this nature is that Rhodesia is an illegal regime. [More…]
-Of course, and it would behove the honourable senator to refer to the great discussions which took place several years ago, I think in the time of Attorney-General Hughes, on the nature and extent of ministerial responsibility and to other statements which have been made on that subject. [More…]
As a person who has children who, as students, are affected by legislation of this nature, I can appreciate some concern on the part of the Opposition about this legislation. [More…]
It could well be that a number of factors, including accommodation, availability of courses, the availability of accommodation in certain faculties, the necessity for a student who could not enrol in medicine having to do dentistry or veterinary science and matters of that nature, would all have to be taken into consideration. [More…]
Standing Committee on Education, Science and the Arts could well consider probing into a highly important subject of this nature. [More…]
In reply to the query that I temporarily deferred as to whether this type of definition existed in any other Acts of a similar nature, I am told that it exists in the Education Act 1945-1959. [More…]
I think it is high time that, at some stage, a government took the action which is vital to ensure that within another 10 or 12 years a parliament house of which we can be proud, which is roomy enough for the activities of Parliament and which- in my opinion this is even more important- has the facilities for the big staff which is required to operate a Parliament of this nature, becomes a reality. [More…]
Senator Wright has said that it is unusual that a parliament should be dealing with matters of this nature without the regulations. [More…]

In the last 70 years the only times when governments of a non-Liberal or nonconservative nature have been in power have been in periods of crisis- in the first World War, in the depression years of the 1930s and during the 1939-45 war period up till the rehabilitation era was over- and during the other periods there had been conservative governments in power here. [More…]
Some people say that they will upset the balance of nature and we will have earthquakes. [More…]
We believe that unbridled nationalism that is expressed in the aspirations of some of these measures carries its own inherent defects and precludes by its very nature the benefits that can flow to a country by the use of experience, skill and management efficiency of companies operating outside this country. [More…]
We see however no justification for the Government compelling the investment of life office funds in the securities of this body, particularly since some of these securities are of a nature where the obligation of AIDC is not a fixed amount of money and where investment performance is not guaranteed by the Government. [More…]

It is ironical that the Australian Labor Party, which professed to want to see a return to Parliamentary Government, has been in Government accelerating the arbitrary nature of the powers which are held by the Federal Government and seeking to increase them. [More…]
I know that there has been some legislation as well in this field but a great deal of the activities of the Minister has been of a totally arbitrary and arrogant nature. [More…]
I mention just briefly another example of the arbitrary nature of this Government. [More…]
But the concessions now applying are of only a partial nature. [More…]
The instruction is that any proposal, any correspondence and anything of a vital nature affecting the arts should not go to a Minister but to Dr Coombs, who appears to be making as big a success of his supervision over the Council for the Arts as he is making of his supervision over Aboriginal affairs. [More…]
What honourable senators opposite are complaining about is that the Australian people since 2 December have had an activist government which wishes to make available to the Australian people all the fruits of the opportunities which nature has given them- a government which wishes to make them available to the people of this country untrammelled by sellouts to overseas companies which was par for the course during the previous Government’s day. [More…]
It is not sufficient that honourable senators be advised of the nature and content of these Bills, of the far reaching implications to be drawn from them or of the commercial repercussions; more than that is required. [More…]
I think I would be prepared to deny that any senator is adequately equipped to give them the consideration and the in-depth examination which Bills of this nature warrant. [More…]
Merchant banks and things of this nature are of only recent origin in this country; they are not very sophisticated. [More…]
If they see a danger and a possible disturbance in this area of their participation- I am not speaking of their selfish participation; I am speaking of the role they play by the nature of their organisation and the functioning of their societies and their companies- then it is a matter for serious consideration by this chamber. [More…]
Has the Western Australian Department of Fisheries and Fauna been advised of the nature of the deficiencies? [More…]
There would not be too many positions of that nature offering. [More…]

All I can say is that I know from my personal experience in the ministerial ambit in which I operate that I receive numerous requests for interviews from goodness knows how many people who are eager to make films and matters of that nature. [More…]
I submit that it is quite clear, because of the very purpose of a guillotine and the exceptional nature of it, that the only function of standing order 407b is the consideration of any particular Bill to be an urgent Bill. [More…]
I believe that they should be allowed to produce all the wheat that nature will allow them to produce because nature is so harsh upon them so often. [More…]
Other farmers in low rainfall areas throughout Australia should also be allowed to produce all the wheat that nature will allow them to produce. [More…]
Will the Attorney-General inform us whether there have been appointments of this nature? [More…]
If the young lady was correctly reported she needs, I would think, to be corrected on the nature of the office. [More…]

If there is a problem of the nature outlined by Senator Keeffe. [More…]
This amendment, which is of a technical nature, came from the Opposition. [More…]
But I think it is true to say, as was pointed out by Sir John Crawford- Senator Sim has gone through these points and I do not wish to restate them- that there is a greater chance now of there being consistency between the reports of the Commission and the temporary nature of assistance afforded. [More…]
On page 7 of its report the Committee referred to the fact that the Government subsequently told it that the basic level of support for nongovernment schools would not be predetermined after 1 973 and that the nature and level of support for recurrent expenditure during 1974 and 1975 would be recommended by the committee. [More…]
It will be for the Interim Committee to recommend the nature and level of support for recurrent expenditure in those schools during 1974 and 1975, having regard to the overall assessment of needs and priorities and to the pre-existing situation. [More…]
I say to those parents: ‘Do you not realise that the aid promised by this Government is only of a temporary nature? [More…]
He said it would be for the Interim Committee to recommend the nature and level of support for recurrent expenditure in those schools during 1974 and 1975, having regard to the overall assessment of needs and priorities and to the pre-existing situation. [More…]
Accordingly the position is that whereas the Opposition in the House of Representatives could not move an amendment of this nature, we can make a request, and we do make a request. [More…]
Notwithstanding anything which Senator Douglas McClelland may have said the nature of the promise is quite clear. [More…]
The nature of the data available for analysis has led to the formulation of a simple, though not necessarily easy to construct, index. [More…]
I cannot accept from the honourable senator a declaration of that order and nature. [More…]
I say in fairness that I can understand, having been in Opposition and having experienced some answers given by other Ministers, some concern on the part of Senator Little or other honourable senators for having read to them by way of a reply a reply that a Minister had given to a question of a similar nature in another place. [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…]
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…]

I shall look at this matter more closely at the Committee stage with a view to bringing into line both the provision in the Fisheries Act and that contained in the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill in relation to the rigidity and the mandatory nature of the terms of forfeiture. [More…]
If we have to insert a mandatory clause of this nature in this legislation we should do so. [More…]
We could argue that any transactions of this nature could be delayed until the end of a 12 month period so that they would not be caught within this provision. [More…]
But the very nature of a commission is to give to some statutory body an independence of ministerial control. [More…]
To understand the nature of what I am saying, Mr President, it must be appreciated that in Melbourne where there are several hundred barristers in practice there are currently 6 clerks who act for them. [More…]
If we are to have something in the nature of spoils for the victor and jobs for the boys approach then this is the antithesis of the Bar’s independence. [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 to continue to be exercised by the High Court. [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 prescribed, constituted in the same way as the Industrial Court for the exercise of that jurisdiction. [More…]
Human nature being what it is, there is always the possibility that a scheme will be abused. [More…]
There is a competitive nature in the research which one finds in various areas of hospitals these days, whether it be private, public, specialised or country hospitals. [More…]
Many of their colleagues are ashamed at the nature of this campaign because they know it is encased in untruths and conceived in deceit. [More…]
It is fair to suggest that if the compulsory taxation levy of 1.35 per cent is applied to people in Australia, human nature being what it is, the average citizen will opt for a public bed because he will be required to pay extra to a private fund for intermediate or private ward accommodation. [More…]
If human nature prevails, it will mean that lower income groups and pensioners, who are now given means test protection with respect to public beds, will suffer. [More…]
At the same time, the honourable senator will appreciate that in an assessment of quality of advertising there must be some appraisal of factors other than the tender price and matters of that nature. [More…]

My question arises from concern with the nature of the reply given yesterday by the Minister to a question asked by Senator Durack relating to advertisements inviting applications for citizenship. [More…]

It was also evident from the inquiry in general, and in particular from the presentation of case histories, that the community at large was abysmally ignorant of the nature and provisions of death taxation and that this in itself was a major underlying cause of much of the hardship presented to the Committee. [More…]
The arrangements in some States approach much nearer to the ideal of making comprehensive provision for legal aid for all kinds of litigation and for all courts; in others there are deficiencies either in relation to the nature of the proceedings for which legal aid is provided or in relation to the courts in which aid is provided or both. [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…]
In the first instance, there is the question of the inter-connected nature of this Government’s policies in urban and regional development. [More…]
I think that in the nature of the studies and the training, it would not be suitable to be undertaken at colleges of advanced education. [More…]

Does the Minister agree also that this form of generalisation by members of the Press Gallery cast aspersions upon all employees of the Department of Works and that public servants as such should not be subject to attacks of this nature? [More…]
I know that ordinances which might be described as being of a legal nature have been circulated to those interested, sometimes to judges and sometimes to the Law Society. [More…]
That is one body that may help and I understand that there are others of the same nature. [More…]
I have asked average public servants whether they think the Prime Minister would have interceded on their behalf had they done something of this nature, and they have said that of course he would not. [More…]
Advertisements of that nature appeared indicating that the Queensland Government was the organisation from which to obtain relief although it had not put one cent towards assisting the people of Queensland. [More…]
Any member of the national Parliament who supports advertisements of this deceitful nature has no credibility whatsoever and no regard for the national Parliament. [More…]
I have asked the Control Board to make available all the information it has on the quality of colour reception so that the public will be aware of what it can expect when colour television comes into being in March 1975.I think it is fair to say that many people are putting up with poor reception at this stage either because of the obsolescent nature of their antenna or because of the weathered nature of the cable connecting the antenna to the set. [More…]
For instance, taking the extreme, if the question were of an irresponsible nature to the minds of honourable senators, why should they say: ‘Yes, it should be put before the people’? [More…]
They are the only remarks of that nature I heard. [More…]
Assuming the correctness of the information which Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson has given, I think all Australians would deplore any kind of military action of this nature against children. [More…]
I find myself in some difficulty in this for the simple reason that the rulings that I have given on sub judice matters are that questions are not to be asked on matters of a criminal nature which are either before the courts or are impending before the courts and in which the rights of citizens so arraigned may be prejudiced. [More…]
She was forced by her constitutional advisers to deliver a speech of a highly party political nature, a speech written by Mr Freudenburg and approved by Mr Whitlam. [More…]
The Australian Government Publishing Service has been producing this publication known as the Australian Government Digest’ which consists of a resume of the summaries of Acts, Government decisions, lists of Bills and matters of that nature. [More…]
The point I make is that because of the objectionable nature of this amendment, or this tag-on, and because of the political propaganda which honourable senators opposite in their temporary stage - [More…]
-To illustrate to the people who have been listening to this debate the nature of the fatuous outpourings of Senator Greenwood in regard to this matter, I would like to read from the Fortieth Report of the Grants Commission. [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. [More…]
Is it not a fact that a short instructional film of this nature could easily have been made by an Australian company or by Film Australia? [More…]
He has not said who are the conspirators and he has not said what was the nature of the conspiracy. [More…]
I say this not in a Party political sense, but the Government is introducing a lot of legislation which it would say is of a reformative nature but which I would classify as of a revolutionary nature. [More…]
So much of the legislation coming here is of a nature which we have not seen before. [More…]
I feel that the approach of the Government in relation to these Bills can be considered as a total misconception of the very nature of the compact of federation. [More…]
It would appear to me to be a departure that if we are not going to insist upon a vote by the majority of States to vary the Constitution but enable the referendum to be passed on an equality of State votes, together with a majority of the aggregate of the people ‘s votes it will be, to use my original term, a misconception of the very nature of the compact of federation. [More…]
After all, in this chamber, which is a States chamber, by the nature of its constitution if a resolution is propounded and there is a division of equal numbers the resolution is lost. [More…]
Most of the amendments are of a drafting nature only. [More…]
Consistent with the arrangements adopted at the tertiary level, adult education courses have riot been included as they are mainly of a hobby or general interest nature. [More…]
Are efforts being made- if so, what is the nature of those efforts and in what area- to ensure that our relations with Papua New Guinea will not be affected in the future by unresolved conflicts about boundaries and the extent of fishing jurisdiction? [More…]
Whenever we look at a device of this nature which is brought forward by the Whitlam Labor Government we should keep in mind one thing, namely, that the Labor Government aims to destroy the States and to centralise all power in Canberra. [More…]
The Prime Minister suggested that this would be an appropriate field in which the Australian Government would cede power to the States, that is, would acknowledge that the States’ laws of that nature would apply to a place which had been acquired by the Commonwealth. [More…]
Does the Government seriously intend under this Constitution Alteration Bill to transfer to State parliaments any powers in relation to raising revenue of the nature of excise? [More…]
If there is to be such a major change in the revenue raising by the Commonwealth vis-a-vis the States the only proper, open and honest way to do it is to put to the people a referendum that section 90 of the Constitution be changed to give the States the right to raise revenue in the nature of excise. [More…]
Why should taxes in the nature of excise be imposed in a way that could discriminate between the States or the various State parliaments simply on the say so of this Commonwealth Parliament? [More…]
It would thereby enable duties in the nature of excise to be raised in the States at different levels and in different ways. [More…]
We all vote with our parties and it is nonsense to say that this is a States House when a question of this nature is before us. [More…]
In a Bill of this character it is wrong to suggest that a government authority of this nature in this industry will suddenly make every Australian a part-owner of a mine or that he will have any more equity in the project than he would have if it were developed with foreign capital or by anyone else. [More…]
We are very conscious of the substance of the charge that it has made against us but we also are becoming accustomed to attacks of this nature on every front by the Opposition. [More…]
We have been favoured by nature with good seasons. [More…]
In the belief that a question of this nature might be raised, I sought some information from my colleague, the Minister for Tourism and Recreation. [More…]
They will probably give a quick hip fire response of an even more generous nature than we are proposing. [More…]
I, representing in the Senate the Minister for Health, am unaware of the exact nature of the details raised by the honourable senator, although he will be as aware as I am of the interest taken by our colleague the Minister for Health in trying to solve the problems of alcoholism and alcoholics in the Australian community. [More…]
One provision of a new nature which I have noticed in sub-clause (2) provides that jurisdiction depends on the acceptance of it by the parties. [More…]
His Honour cited various difficulties that arose and at page 101 showed how, by raising matters within the description of sections 75 and 76- the same description as is applied in clause 19 of the Bill - your adversary can delay you and can raise a new point of a constitutional nature. [More…]
But the appellate jurisdiction given to the Superior Court by this Bill is of the limited, fragmentary nature I have mentioned. [More…]
But of course the Parliament should not seek to apply or to determine what are the rules of procedures in Federal courts because of the complications this would cause and of the different rights which litigants in courts would have according to the nature of their own case. [More…]
No doubt Government senators have looked at this Bill with an attitude which is different from that of members of the Opposition, as we have done in approaching debates of this nature in this chamber previously. [More…]
But it is obvious that members of the Opposition will have a different attitude from that of members of the Government Party in regard to a Bill of this nature. [More…]
This Bill sets out to rectify some of the anomalies in this area but members of the Opposition are creating all sorts of obstacles and objections to the very nature and spirit of the Bill let alone its ultimate objectives. [More…]
It informed quite a number of people including Senator Wright and myself, of the nature of the enormous natural resources that Australia has discovered and is still capable of discovering. [More…]
He would not understand what a confidential paper was, but generally anything between an employee and an employer is of a confidential nature, and usually an honourable employee would go to his employer and say: ‘Is this something I can disclose?’ [More…]
Matters of this nature are always difficult to negotiate between an Australian Government, irrespective of politics, and the States. [More…]
This is the first time in my capacity as Minister representing the Minister for Education that I have heard of anything of the nature referred to by the honourable senator. [More…]
The honourable senator will be aware that both the Queensland Country Party Government and the South Australian Labor Government have undertaken to implement proposals of this kind, and I notice that when delivering the policy speech of the Liberal Party in Western Australia recently Sir Charles Court said that he was undertaking to do something of this nature on behalf of the people of Western Australia. [More…]
One of the specific things that was stated and explained again and again in the most definite terms right throughout the country was the nature of the trade practices legislation. [More…]
The nature of the legislation was explained by me again and again. [More…]
One, for instance, is the Voluntary Euthanasia Society, another is a better hearing society, and I think another is a society connected with animals- groups of that nature. [More…]
Is this in the nature of an offer by him for the post? [More…]
I understood this also to be the view of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition who said that they were grave imputations or something of this nature. [More…]
There is much to be said for the inclusion of provisions of this nature, to enable issues to be assessed, to assist in the achieving of a settlement and to reduce the need for expensive litigation. [More…]
I now turn to the specific amendments of the Wool Industry Act 1972-73, 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…]

The Parliament did provide a method- a neat, tidy and eminently fair method when read along with the other sections in this Part of the Act- whereby questions of this nature might be resolved in advance of the election taking place. [More…]
As a result my Department intends to produce the advertisements in booklet form for distribution among schools and bodies of this nature. [More…]
Some of the recommendations within the McLean report contain suggestions to the Government on the future conduct of considerations on frequency modulation as well as suggestions on the standards to be established for radio and television receivers, the nature of new services and administrative arrangements which will assist in future planning. [More…]
You, Mr President, studied that letter to determine its nature and you on that day made a statement in this Senate, saying, if I may precis it, that you had considered the letter of Senator Gair in the light of your responsibility under section 2 1 of the Constitution which requires you to notify a vacancy in the Senate to the Governor of the State in the representation of which the vacancy occurs, that you had to satisfy yourself whether such a vacancy had occurred; that you had reached the opinion that Senator Gair’s letter was not a letter of resignation but a notification of his appointment as Ambassador to Ireland and that in his view the effect was to vacate his position as a senator by virtue of various disqualifications under sections 44 and 45 of the Constitution, and that you therefore, quite properly, referred the matter back to the judgment of the Senate, having the conscious knowledge that your responsibility was under section 2 1 of the Constitution. [More…]
states that subject to any direction of the Minister the Board shall determine the allocation of frequencies and matters of that nature. [More…]
On the second page of his statement we find that the nature and extent of continuing support for existing pre-schools and those admitted as new capital projects under the interim program will be determined as part of the development of the new policies and programs. [More…]
It may be that there are some persons who wonder why this Committee is pursuing an inquiry of this nature when a Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs has been appointed in another place. [More…]
The Committee has come to the conclusion that over the years there has been a deficient understanding of Aboriginal culture and the specific nature and strength of its influence on the responses of Aborigines to the technological economy and life style of Europeans. [More…]
When the Committee began to make preliminary inquiries it found that there were problems associated with Aboriginal enterprises of a long standing nature which went as far back as early 1970. [More…]
As to the nature of this core force, our geographical position as an island continent, with a vast oceanic and archipelagic environment, suggests some fundamental defence requirements and skills to be developed and preserved in all 3 Services. [More…]
We have to ask whether there are estimated perils, what is their nature, what is their escalation. [More…]
Against that background let me say that with the threat of an acceptance of a Russian installation destroying ANZUS, all honourable senators should go back and reflect upon the words of Admiral Peek 2 or 3 years ago when he briefed all parliamentarians here upon the size and nature of the Russian Navy. [More…]
The Opposition has done this over the years, and in order to illustrate the tradition which has been established, with the concurrence of honourable senators I shall incorporate in Hansard at the end of my speech a list of the measures of an economic or financial nature, including taxation and appropriation Bills. [More…]
We may think it is reprehensible, but it is human nature. [More…]
This evening their remarks have been practically the same word for word, parrot style, as the remarks which were made in this chamber on 1 1 December, I think it was, when legislation of this nature was put forward by the Government after it had received a mandate from the Australian people in 1972. [More…]
This Government has made statements of the most courageous nature in recent days. [More…]
I feel that the nature of the vote on the Supply Bills, when they are presented to the Senate, will be so serious that we should not treat it lightly. [More…]
By the nature of things, having regard to our knowledge of judicial tenure, most judges who retire- unless it be for ill health- retire at a late age in life, usually over age 60. [More…]
Speaking in the Committee stage with a certain degree of tolerance from the Chair, because perhaps I will advert to matters covered in the second reading stage, I find it an unhappy experience to be here in the Senate in a debate of this nature in relation to the position of Governor-General. [More…]
-I listened to what Senator Wright had to say during the course of the debate on the second reading of this Bill and I noticed the nature of the request which he made. [More…]
Senator Wright made a request and indicated the nature of his request. [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. [More…]
Honourable senators 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…]
Of the total appropriations sought, $4 1.3m 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…]
Estimates for salaries and payments in the nature of salary are based on current rates of pay and existing staff numbers. [More…]
It is urgently examining ways in which protection may be increased against future occurrences of a similar nature. [More…]
I am mentioning it to indicate that there has been a response by Queensland members and that the incidence of flood and a disaster of this nature is of immense consequence. [More…]

I pay a tribute not merely to the Army and other Service personnel generally but also to the citizens of Brisbane and the service clubs in Brisbane, such as the Rotary, Lions and Apex clubs, and other bodies of that nature. [More…]
As on that occasion, the total amount distributed will include an additional amount in the nature of further surplus that has accrued in the Fund since 1 July 1972 in respect of the surplus of $70,0 1 5,000. [More…]
The usual provision in regard to new offices of this sort has been that until Parliament can provide for the allowances in a subsequent annual period they shall be made by regulation, but this provision appears to be one of a continuing nature. [More…]
Is it not a fact that a short instructional film of this nature could easily have been made by an Australian company or by Film Australia? [More…]
Of course these persons are subject to the laws of the State and the Commonwealth in the same way as other people and if there is a breach of those laws by way of assault or intimidation or anything of that nature it is open to a citizen to invoke either criminal or civil law. [More…]
If so, what was the nature and magnitude of the additional supplies? [More…]
As the honourable senator has no doubt heard, without revealing the nature of the report, it is a very extensive and comprehensive report with many documents attached to it. [More…]
I think it is always unfortunate when a debate on any political issue or on any issue of a social or economic nature or on any social or economic reform sinks to a level of personal denigration. [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…]
My involvement in State politics was of such a nature that I do not have to do very much to prove that point, but I believe that my interpretation of an effective anti-Labor stance may be somewhat different from the interpretation of some other senators who sit on your left, Sir. [More…]
The people of Australia did not give a mandate to this Government to change the whole nature of the Australian democracy. [More…]
Furthermore, it was not until Labor came to power that the real nature of the energy situation was identified, and the mistakes of the LiberalCountry Party governments revealed. [More…]
I ask: Will the Minister consider referring this matter to the Australian Institute of Criminology, asking that Institute to examine all relevant aspects including the nature of the offences involved, the nature and extent of the punishments inflicted, any evidence of discrimination, the desirability of any legal reforms and any possible steps of a preventive nature? [More…]
When they are examined one can conclude only that the purpose of the highly emotional nature of the attacks is to deceive electors as to the true intentions of the Government. [More…]
-Will the AttorneyGeneral inform the House whether all applicants for permanent employment in the Australian Public Service are subjected to an Australian Security Intelligence Organisation security check, irrespective of the nature of their proposed employment? [More…]
Those discussions were merely of an explanatory nature. [More…]
Will they be of a token nature only? [More…]
A Document relating to public affairs quoted from by a Minister of the Crown, unless stated to be of a confidential nature, or such as should more properly be obtained by Address, may be called for and made a public Document. [More…]
But it is of the essential nature of parliamentary government that causes are debated and maintained according to the purposefulness of the peoples’ representatives. [More…]
I am one who resents the bitter and caustic nature of his remarks. [More…]
I should like to think that the private hospitals throughout Australia are able to continue to provide a personal service to the patients whereby they are able to be treated by the doctor of their own choice and they are able to be treated in the hospital of their own choice, whether it be in an institution of a religious nature, which gives them spiritual support at the time of illness, or whether it be a private hospital chosen by them for any other personal reason. [More…]
It is also based on the fact that this set of figures from which I am quoting does not include any capital costs such as cost of construction of new hospitals or anything of that nature. [More…]
The report estimates that between $2 10m and $320m of the cost of the program would be due to its free and universal nature. [More…]
This estimate of increased cost is based partly on the increased use that would result because of the free and universal nature of the program. [More…]
I assume that grants of the nature to which the honourable senator refers fall more within the responsibility of the Prime Minister’s Department or the Department of Foreign Affairs. [More…]
Although the defects are largely of a formal or technical nature, they do give rise to problems in the preparation of the consolidation and it is desirable that they be corrected as soon as possible. [More…]
Many other countries have comprehensive health schemes of a compulsory nature. [More…]
I suggest that the Government has not adequately taken account of what I call the human nature response to an issue of this kind. [More…]
If so, who comprised the committee, from whom did it seek evidence, and what was the nature of the report? [More…]
The last conference of that nature, from recollection, took place under the previous Government as long ago as 1967 or 1968. [More…]
I am now asking officers of my Department to confer with officers of the Department of Education to make arrangements again for the early convening of an Australian Government-State Government conference of this nature. [More…]
I think it is a tragedy that an amendment of this nature should be moved to one of the best structured Bills that has been brought before this chamber. [More…]
Those of a legal nature will be dealt with later in the debate by honourable senators from my side of the chamber, who are more qualified in the legal field than I am. [More…]
But we did not see members of the Opposition doing their war dances because a report of this nature had been made obviously with the approval of the the government of the day. [More…]
I think about the only time that we achieve any agreement with honourable senators opposite is when it is decided that the Senate should rise at 5 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. We seem to be able to obtain unanimous approval from the Opposition in relation to matters of that nature, but when it comes to worthwhile legislation which is to the benefit of the majority of the people of this country who wanted a Labor government, we find this continual frustration, either by way of direct opposition by moving amendments which are unacceptable to the Government, or by moving amendments of this nature which do neither one thing nor the other. [More…]
So I suggest to the honourable senator that he does not make interjections of that nature because they will rebound on him now or at some fairly close future date. [More…]
It would be precipitate and probably out of keeping with the nature of his office for him to reject advice outright but he is under no compulsion to accept it unquestioningly. [More…]
In its projection to the people the Government has been singularly silent about the terms and nature of this legislation; wisely so too because the people of the several States of Australia, in the full knowledge of the consequences of this Bill, would have responded vigorously and negatively against it. [More…]
I want to refer also to the very nature of this Bill. [More…]
That is not the nature of this Bill at all. [More…]
So I suggest that the true nature of the Bill needs to be looked at. [More…]
Since the Labor Government came to office we have seen almost a vendetta against one of Australia’s greatest money spinners, namely the income derived from exports of our mineral ores and things of that nature. [More…]
Individual institutions within these groups can also show a marked diversity in the nature of their borrowings and their lending business. [More…]
It also indicates the continuing nature of the work of revising the statutes preparatory to consolidation. [More…]
The nature of that reprint or consolidation was a matter for decision and, of course, it had to await the compilation of all the work. [More…]
Apart from those very basic philosophical objections which we in the Opposition have to this Bill, we have given very close consideration to the nature of the mining code contained in the Bill. [More…]
Whenever a notice of the nature of Senator Wright’s notice has been given, the words ‘on the next day of sitting’ are included to give the Senate time to reflect upon the subject matter before coming to its final decision. [More…]
Many similar things are said on many occasions in many places, and this in itself does not detract from the importance, the nature or the authenticity of those things. [More…]
Since I have been a senator it has been my understanding that on all occasions when ministerial statements or reports of this nature are presented, a 2-hour rule applies. [More…]
The last case of this nature occurred on 22 August 1923, when the President directed Senator Findley to discontinue his speech on account of tedious repetition. [More…]
Then after a gap of 4 years there was a further increase in 1968, and then a further increase in 1973, which was in the nature of an interim increase arising out of the Kerr report which came before us in that year. [More…]
I have said before in answer to questions of a similar nature in the Senate that the Government does all it can to prevent these industrial disputes arising because they do jeopardise contracts which we enter into for the export of our primary products. [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…]
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…]
Indeed, as it turned out, these proposals were among the very few proposals of a major financial nature included in the statement on inflation which was presented last Tuesday night. [More…]
Probably because of his good nature he allowed his proposal to remain whilst the other Ministers took theirs out. [More…]
I feel sorry for Senator Bishop because he was left to carry the can- probably because of his good nature. [More…]
However, I will check with the Australian Broadcasting Control Board to see whether it has anything of this nature in mind. [More…]
It has never reported any discussions or information of this nature to me. [More…]
-I know that that situation is supported by a number of honourable senators opposite and people in the various State branches of the Liberal Party, but I repeat that it poisons the relationship between this country and the United Kingdom that we should continue to have British appointed judges determining matters, even those of a domestic nature, over in London. [More…]
However, I suggest to him that there is a very good reason why he should go along with the rest of the Senate on this Bill, namely, that this is in the nature of an experiment. [More…]
It has set out in very fine detail many of the problems of a construction of this nature, which eliminates the need to ask many questions which could arise. [More…]
It is not suggested that a merchant bank, a building society or any of the other institutions mentioned in the Bill are all of exactly the same nature and that a blanket type of regulation or control is appropriate for each one of them. [More…]
The permanent building societies, in their conversations with the Treasurer and in their representations in regard to this measure, have recognised that because of their size, nature and involvement they carry a responsibility to the community at large and to the Government of the day. [More…]
There in the trading banks the loans were negotiated both in quantity and in direction or nature of the loan. [More…]
But the development would have gone on anyhow because, as commerce and industry have become more sophisticated and more intensive, there has been a need for a money market of more specialised nature, more immediacy, and one which was not within the orthodoxy of banking of the past. [More…]
As I understand the function of that Committee, so long as a regulation is shaped within the nature of an Act and correctly drawn within that Act, the Committee must allow it to pass and cannot act upon it. [More…]
That, in any debate or proceeding of the Senate or its committees or transactions or communications which a senator may have with other members or with Ministers or servants of the crown, he should disclose any relevant pecuniary interest or benefits of whatever nature, whether direct or indirect, that he may have had, may have or may be expecting to have; [More…]
As Senator Cavanagh has reminded me, during disputes and troubles of that nature or arbitration proceedings the secretaries of unions are involved in performing much more arduous duties and in greater expenditure than they would be ordinarily. [More…]
That is as much information as I can give the honourable senator, but in view of the detailed nature of his question I will send it to the Minister for Health and get an equally detailed answer. [More…]
The doctors, sisters, technicians and even the domestic staff are all of a technical nature. [More…]
They have done so for many years; indeed, they had to do so by the nature of their constitutions. [More…]
That country does not have a nationalised health scheme or a health scheme of this nature, which the Government would claim at this stage is not a nationalised health scheme. [More…]
It is important that this be stated, not only because the Opposition hopes that there will be an opportunity to open up some breathing space for the people of that area but also because we cannot contemplate the true nature of this housing program unless we know how many, if any, houses already standing are to be demolished to create open space. [More…]
There are others of a more legal technical nature, which are, however, covered in my previous second reading speeches and the explanatory memorandum. [More…]
There are some other changes of a formal or techincal nature that I shall not mention now. [More…]
The Committee has reserved the right to change arrangements for television to reflect changes in sitting times or in the light of the nature of proceedings. [More…]
The people of Australia did not give a mandate to this Government to change the whole nature of the Australian democracy. [More…]
But when we look at the preferred vote- after all our system is of a preferential nature- we find that the situation is completely different. [More…]
Reference has been made to the situation in Tasmania and the equitable nature of the proposals that are made. [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…]
The legislation is of vital importance to the nature of that change and its wider implications should be fully understood. [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…]
I am a little puzzled as to the nature of this visit. [More…]
The fragmented nature of the trade union movement has been reflected in an unorderly operation of industrial regulation. [More…]
This is almost impossible to achieve with the large number of existing unions and the unordered nature of existing arbitral arrangements. [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 towns. [More…]
On the other hand, we express severe reservations as to the positive requirement under Australian economic circumstances for the establishment of an institute of this nature. [More…]
They enabled the Government to consult with industry on a wide ranging basis, they enabled the Government to consult with representatives of the Opposition about their attitude to this legislation, and they led in another place to some consensus on the nature of the legislation which should be passed by that House. [More…]
Above all, as a national corporation subject to government support and government direction in relation to the nature of its investment policies, it can play a significant role in the economic development of this country. [More…]
I believe that the Government saw the problems it was creating by the nature of the Bills it then presented and in a constructive way it has made very substantial changes to them. [More…]
I am rather surprised that I should have to debate a Bill of this nature in this House, considering the pre-election Press publicity gained by members of the Opposition. [More…]
This was the nature of the gathering which assembled. [More…]
It is emotive by its very nature and because of the history of events in Australia several years ago. [More…]
If members of the Opposition believe the things which they say, and which I certainly believe in part, about the nature of the political system in the Soviet Union, they should realize that what they are doing is placing this man in a position which, if he does now go back into the Soviet Union after this sort of thing, the position will be very serious for him. [More…]
I believe that legislation of this nature has significant consequences for the people and the industries of the country and consequently should be considered very carefully. [More…]
-Will the Minister for Foreign Affairs supply details as to the number of copies of Australian magazines of a cultural and informative nature distributed to Australian diplomatic and trade posts abroad? [More…]
Will the Minister additionally supply details as to the number and names of Australian magazines of a non-profit, cultural nature, specifically those published under some form of subsidy from the Australian Council for the Arts which are distributed to posts abroad? [More…]
It is the clumsiness and the confused and inefficient nature of the construction of the Bill that I condemn. [More…]
This is of great importance because if information which is scandalous information or of a defamatory nature is made public, the person concerned may well have no protection at all because it is given under the authority of an Act of Parliament. [More…]
Normally, as I understand the legislation, the Commission is to conduct public hearings but in any case where it is satisfied that it is desirable to do so by reason of the confidential nature of any evidence or matter or for any other reason, the Commission may direct that the hearing or a part of the hearing shall take place in private and it may give directions prohibiting or restricting the publication of evidence given before the Commission. [More…]
I note that when this clause was attacked in the other place the Minister for Manufacturing Industry (Mr Enderby) said it was well known that this provision in the Bill related only to matters of priority and not to anything of a judicatory nature. [More…]
Executive and that this clause was in the nature of a new initiative-a view that he has put forward to Parliament to redress that trend and to make statutory corporations more amenable to Parliament. [More…]
I would think that this aspect of the whole question of statutory corporations is not quite relevant to a corporation of this nature. [More…]
When valid promises supported by legal consideration are associated with, but separate in form from, invalid promises, the test of whether they are severable is whether they are in substance so connected with the others as to form an indivisible whole which cannot be taken to pieces without altering its nature. [More…]
Monopolists are, by their nature, well able to protect themselves, but if one contemplates a situation where in proceedings in court the word ‘wilfully’ is seized upon, notwithstanding that all the other elements of the case are established one can see that there will be immense problems in showing wilfulness and intent on the part of a corporation. [More…]
Senator Everett said he would construe that as ‘for the purpose of, but once you get into this area of purpose I think you have to display something in the nature of intent or wilfulness. [More…]
A person shall not, in trade or commerce, engage in 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 any goods. [More…]
A corporation shall not, in trade or commerce, advertise for supply at a special price goods or services that the corporation does not intend to oner for supply at that price for a period that is, and in quantities that are, reasonable having regard to the nature ofthe market - [More…]
A person shall not, in trade or commerce, engage in 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 any goods. [More…]
It was to be non-executive in nature. [More…]
As we have said, matters in relation to product safety standards and product information standards appear to have a certain Commonwealth importance, and it may well be that they should be in a law of this nature. [More…]
This is where the deceptive nature of the Attorney-General’s argument comes in. [More…]
A person who- ( 0 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 Pan to have engaged in any similar conduct. [More…]
We believe that it is unreal to view the type and substance and the heaviness of the penalty which is to be exacted from a person who contravenes this legislation as not arising from a proceeding which is essentially penal or criminal in nature. [More…]
The nature of the penal provisions are such as to create what are called civil offences rather than criminal offences. [More…]
A person … is liable to pay to Australia such pecuniary penalty … 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…]
But reasonable satisfaction is not a state of mind that is attained or established independently of the nature and consequence of the fact or facts to be proved. [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 [More…]
The mere fact that there is no alternative to imprisonment here does not alter the nature of the recovery which is of a penalty. [More…]
The whole nature of the amendment, in my view, means that it is even more likely that the court will have to be satisfied only on the balance of probabilities. [More…]
Necessarily the views and representations put to us stress particular- and, in the nature of the case, sectional- aspects of the problem. [More…]
Because of these changes it is not very easy to grasp the true implications and the true nature of” the comparisons between one period and the next if we feel there is any point in making such comparisons. [More…]
These details include number of vehicles involved, description of the nature of the defect, the method of rectification and other relevant background information. [More…]
The view of the Treasury is that although the premium rates are low there are no reasons, at least at the moment, for believing that they are unrealistic, given the rather restricted nature of the policy offered. [More…]
I would suggest that in view of the complicated nature of this clause the Committee may be prepared to divide it so that we can deal with the clause sub-clause by sub-clause otherwise, I think, we will get into a great deal of confusion. [More…]
Mr Chairman, I have amendments of a similar nature to sub-clauses (3), (4) and (7) of clause 4. [More…]
I and other Victorian senators on the Opposition side have pleasure, I am sure, in supporting this amendment and others of a like nature. [More…]
Notwithstanding the specious argument put forward by the Minister, that the submissions on road programs are required only for information, I am sufficiently versed in the administration of government to know that government decentralises conceptually the administrative processes but in fact, because of the nature of the bureaucratic beast, it recentralises the decision. [More…]
Not only is the Minister getting the power to approve of programs and to vary them, but having done all that and the local authorities having acted on approvals which are in the nature of agreements, he is then getting the power to revoke that approval, and it could have the serious effect of throwing into complete disarray the programs that the States or local authorities are carrying out or are planning to carry out. [More…]
-However, there is a body called the National Therapeutic Goods Committee and there is the Drug Evaluation Committee, as Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson has mentioned, although its role is somewhat different in that it considers the nature of drugs but not advertising associated with them. [More…]
But the reality of the review function of an upper chamber- certainly a chamber of the nature of the Senate of the Commonwealth of Australia- is that it has a threefold review function. [More…]
Senator MURPHY (New South WalesLeader of the Government in the Senate)- by leave- On this procedural aspect I point out that this is in the nature of an amendment. [More…]
303 (Senate Hansard, 25 September 1973, pp 861-2)- this indicates the nature of fees and allowances paid to members of various Government boards, commissions, committees, etc. [More…]
In case honourable senators on the other side of the chamber have not got the message that we on this side understand fully- and understood before them- the repressive nature of Soviet society, I would like to point out that Pasternak was writing long before Solzhenitsyn. [More…]
Finally, will the Minister provide the Senate with the comparative costs of a typical school, hospital and home dwelling for the years 1972, 1973 and 1974 and the projected costs for 1975, so that the real nature of the Budget may be understood? [More…]
In view of the nature and urgency of this Bill, and the fact that it will amend several Acts, it is hoped that honourable senators will not delay its passage to discuss other matters associated with the relevant Acts. [More…]
The amendments set out in the Schedule to the Bill are of a purely formal nature, for the purpose of applying current drafting practices to the provisions of the principal Act. [More…]
I remember quoting to the Senate one such ruling of this order and nature: The court does not hear the arguments that take place within the walls of Parliament. [More…]
They fluctuate because of the economic policies of importing countries and the quirks of nature in Australia itself. [More…]
These include special eating utensils, bath seats and other equipment of this nature. [More…]
The old system in Australia was in the nature of a poll tax. [More…]
The very nature of the measure relates to a bank and to a fund within a bank, and I welcome the observation from the honourable senator. [More…]
Qantas requires as soon as possible full details of the proposal, including the quantity and nature of goods proposed to be sent. [More…]
The nature of the ABC, however, is such that it just cannot be expected to provide all the information and entertainment that many communities and groups in Australian society feel they need. [More…]
It shows the Government’s assessment of the nature of our society. [More…]
With our highest ever standard of education in this country, the Government has chosen to play on what it believes to be a great mass ignorance and to play on lower elements in human nature. [More…]
As part of their independent Australian nature they hope to provide for themselves. [More…]
They are human nature aspects and they emerge just as readily through the public sector. [More…]
To assist a State or State authority to purchase Australian films of an educational nature and of national interest or importance; and [More…]
But in order to set the scene, so to speak, I will refer broadly to the nature and size of the proposed increased charges. [More…]
He loved nature. [More…]
He had a love of nature and an eagerness, right until his final illness, to serve Australia as he did as a citizen, as a family man, as a parliamentarian, as an ex-serviceman and as a diplomat. [More…]
Unless I misunderstand the statement of the Minister for Urban and Regional Development (Mr Uren) in another place, the essential nature of the $100m is to provide $70m of loans- not grants- and $30m of grants. [More…]
Faced with a 40 per cent increase in construction costs, the depressed nature of the whole loan market, and the actions of the Commonwealth Government in drying up liquidity in the trading banks and altering the 60-40 ratio that applied in regard to savings banks, the local and semi-governmental authorities of Australia face a serious position in the immediate months ahead. [More…]
In my view it is highly improper for a Commonwealth Government to insist upon the specific nature of the works to be done. [More…]
1 ) That, in any debate or proceeding of the Senate or its Committees or transactions or communications which a Senator 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…]
So the fate of the great works on Spencer Gulf which caused the Dow Chemical company in Canada to be sued for multi-million dollar sums was to be settled as far as South Australia was concerned by a piece of paper that the Premier had lost and whose nature his chief officers could not remember. [More…]
By the nature of the system everyone has to inflate together. [More…]
It is of a nature which will allow for further decentralisation of services and so on. [More…]
Whether it would get over the inequitable features of the system, even in these last 3 months or 9 months to go, is debatable because I believe that the very nature of the phosphate bounty distribution system was inequitable from the beginning. [More…]
However, I am given to understand that this is only one of a number of operations of this nature which have been set up by one or two other State instrumentalities. [More…]
I am led to believe that the first State Government which established an organisation of this nature was the Bjelke-Petersen Country Party Government. [More…]
Turning to the details of the Bill, the first 3 clauses are of a machinery nature. [More…]
The first was the unreliable nature of shipping, caused mainly by industrial unrest, and as a consequence the need to stockpile, when possible, sufficient raw material to enable them to continue to manufacture during the currency of any future shipping trikes. [More…]
We have seen many decisions taken by this Government which have served only to destroy the confidence of the rural industry in this Government’s ability to recognise and assist the one industry which by its very nature is unable in any way to insure itself against the ravages of inflation. [More…]
For example, a court might be able to determine only whether proper procedures had been followed, whether some error of law had occurred or something of this nature whereas the review tribunal would be able to review all the facts and standards applied in an administrative way. [More…]
I would like to know whether the Minister, in view of the serious nature of this situation, is able to provide the Senate with any further information concerning this incident and perhaps incidents of a similar kind in other areas? [More…]
Will the Minister, in order to rectify this grave discourtesy, interpose today a statement to the Senate on the nature of those discussions and any decisions reached between the 2 governments? [More…]
They are quite complex in nature. [More…]
I suggest quite seriously that the Government should look at its responsibility to write into the estate duty rates that which would recognise the inflationary nature of things. [More…]
A Budget is and must be an instrument which conceives the nature of the problem, both internationally and nationally, at a particular point of time, lt must be part of a symphony orchestra. [More…]
It must look to the nature of the Government’s tariff policies. [More…]
It is the duty of an Australian Government to ensure that there are in Australia sufficient industries of a labour intensive nature to provide employment, the employment of his choice, for every Australian. [More…]
The honourable senator raised the issues of tradition and the proper procedures in dealing with questions of this nature. [More…]
Knowing the feeling in the Senate, having some good knowledge of what went on in Caucus and knowing of the belief that there the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) had expressed the view that the holder of the office for the longer period should be the senior, I made inquiries of an unofficial nature. [More…]
Obviously he was uninformed about the nature and details of the report. [More…]
Perhaps the second matter which the honourable senator mentioned is of a more serious nature. [More…]
It is possible that this question is related to a misunderstanding of the nature of the Family Medicine Program of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, under which some resident medical officers may attend such centres as part of their training. [More…]
As Yanchep Sun City is 30 miles north of Perth and does not have any industrial activity in the immediate vicinity outside the actual building of the project, does not have a private or public hospital, has no local doctor, no schools and virtually no bus service, will the Attorney-General undertake a complete investigation of the situation to ensure that the rights of the complainants are protected and that misleading information of this nature is discontinued?

Concerning clause 6 (d) of the Bill, which seeks to insert a new sub-section 16 (3) (e) in the Act, the rule-making power with respect to the nature and content of programs could give rise to a rule, to give one of many possible examples, that the content of, say, a current affairs program which had in the opinion of the Minister any matter derogatory to the Government be not televised. [More…]
The rule-making power is such that it could be used to impose censorship of a general nature. [More…]
including rules or standards with respect to the nature and content of programs; [More…]
Because of the dangerous nature of the Bill I feel that the Senate should toss it out. [More…]
However, as I said, we have appointed to the Control Board and to my Department people of this nature- people who are prepared to talk to all sections of the industry and people who understand the problems and have concern about the problems. [More…]
d ) other matter of a similar nature to the foregoing, [More…]
Paragraph 25 provides that a licensee ‘shall comply with the requirements specified by the Board from time to time concerning the proportion of programme time to be occupied by programmes of Australian origin and the nature of such programmes. [More…]
We are the only Australian political party that has in its platform a specific policy of that nature. [More…]
But apparently even an appeal of that nature to the highest court in the land is objectionable to the Opposition. [More…]
The provisions of this Bill are many and varied and of a technical nature. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite should not think that just because someone takes an oath of allegiance they are going to be a purist of the best nature. [More…]
The scope and status of non-government institutions in the technical and further education field are so diverse that a good deal of consideration needs to be given to the nature of the assistance they might receive. [More…]
We have no firm definition of what a community college should be because we would expect them to vary in nature and scope to meet particular community needs. [More…]
The Bill appreciates that if the Commonwealth Government is to evolve and implement policies of this nature it must do so under section 96 of the Constitution, and in doing so must arrive at individual agreements with the States. [More…]
The risk of spread of fire is very high due to the highly combustible nature of building materials. [More…]
Owing to the nature of the flammable materials of which the building is constructed, little or no fire resistance is offered, and if fire did occur, it is the Fire Prevention Officer’s opinion that it would be almost certain that loss of life may result’. [More…]
The nature of the materials used in the construction is such that fire spread would be rapid ‘. [More…]
If an outbreak of fire occurred, rapid flame and smoke spread could be expected due to the combustible nature of materials used in construction and the design of the building’. [More…]
It is customary for the Premier of any State which has a problem of this nature to advise the Prime Minister. [More…]
There will also be subsidies towards other expenses, generally those of a recurrent nature. [More…]
The 3 year time period mentioned previously in relation to subsidies of a capital nature will not apply to these subsidies for operating expenses. [More…]
The previous Government also announced they would be sponsoring additional measures of the nature of those included in this Bill. [More…]
In fact, the nature of this Bill is to seek to make such arrangements. [More…]
The second is to provide that the Commonwealth Government can make an agreement with the State governments upon the nature of the financial assistance. [More…]
I invited the various Premiers to comment upon the nature of this Bill. [More…]
It is the nature of that amendment which has aroused some concern from the Opposition. [More…]
I indicated then that, in view of the contentious nature of the proposed amendments and the legalities involved, I would agree to a deferral of the consideration of the Bill to enable further consideration to be given to the matter by both the Government and the Opposition. [More…]
But let me cite again the Prime Minister, because he had something to say very publicly with regard to the nature of the Budget-to-be. [More…]
Anyone who thinks that you can pick up and put down manufacturing industry fails to understand its very nature. [More…]
In the very nature of Australia, we are a nation of small enterprises. [More…]
If people are to be taxed extra on their earnings from these properties it is human nature that they will pass that tax on to the people who rent the flats and homes from them. [More…]
The honourable senator does not know much about human nature, apparently. [More…]
He is a bit behind the times so far as human nature is concerned. [More…]
Without it the rate of inflation in Australia will be 30 per cent in 6 months time and we will see what the leaders of Australia do in reaction to an obvious crisis situation of that nature. [More…]
Another point that the Opposition seems to have overlooked is that a tax of this nature in fact applied in Australia from the time when Federal income tax was introduced in 1915 until 1952. [More…]
If the proposed tax will have the disastrous consequences that members of the Opposition have suggested tonight and this afternoon it will have, why did it not have such disastrous consequences in the 37 years that a tax of a similar nature applied in this country? [More…]
Under the provisions of section 5 1 of the Income Assessment Act, deductions are allowed for outgoings incurred in producing assessable income or which are necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for that purpose, except to the extent to which the outgoings are of a capital, private or domestic nature. [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. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party can certainly stand up to anything that Senator Greenwood has to offer but I think it is a disgraceful situation that a public servant should have made against him an allegation of the nature that Senator Greenwood has made tonight. [More…]
In dealing with the question of federalism as the responsible exercise of power, I refer to that sort of issue as showing something of the ill conceived nature of the view that State governments are somehow efficient in the interests of Australian people and are somehow the bulwarks of freedom and the individual against authoritarianism. [More…]
The honourable senator also would not like to be reminded of the low interest nature of the Labor Party which must now be just an unhappy memory in the minds of members of the Labor Party. [More…]
I would say that criticism in the Senate by any member of the Senate of senior public servants is to be deprecated and that the wording used in this regard should be of a more moderate nature. [More…]
The States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill, which I now commend to honourable senators, complements the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Bill. [More…]
To these ends, $9m has been provided in this year’s budget as part of a 3-year program for expenditure of $20m for the acquisition of land for national parks and nature reserves. [More…]
This volatile nature, this edginess, must surely be related to the lack of confidence, the uncertainty which is depriving industry and indeed the total Australian people of investment and employment opportunities. [More…]
Taxation in this area is of such a nature that it is tending to destroy initiative, research and development in an area in which Australia has a unique capacity, a capacity which could, if thoroughly and properly exploited, see this country right at the head of the economic circumstances that pertain to countries throughout the world. [More…]
So that it is not only hypocritical but also downright dishonest for the shadow Minister for Aboriginal Affairs to say that no legislation of the nature projected by this Government is necessary in Queensland. [More…]
The position under Queensland law is that no person can enter, visit or reside on a reserve without a permit from the democratically elected council- not from any European or anybody of that nature- and the main purpose of the Bill is to maintain that condition on these reserves and settlements and on the islands. [More…]
The communities have a simple life style and most offences are of a minor nature, a misdemeanour nature. [More…]
There is no good reason for a concession of this nature to continue under present conditions. [More…]
Further, the nature of the exemption ensures that the greatest benefits from the concession go to the most successful companies mining the richer deposits and which do not need any incentives to produce, whereas the less profitable companies receive little or no benefits from the provisions in that section of the Act. [More…]
I would be interested to know what suggestion could be made as to how the same sort of taxation provisions as are applied to a private entrepreneur could be applied to a cooperative of the nature of friendly societies which conduct pharmacies. [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…]
Each of these solutions, however, presents considerable difficulties the nature of which is outlined in the explanatory memorandum. [More…]
The nature of the changes made appear from the explanatory memorandum. [More…]
Moreover, it in no way follows from the nature of the revenue assistance arrangements between the Australian and State Governments or from the operations of the Grants Commission that tax rates and bases of assessment should be uniform as between the States. [More…]
Moreover, it in no way follows from the nature of the revenue assistance arrangements between the Australian and State Governments or from the operations of the Grants Commission that tax rates and bases of assessment should be uniform as between the States. [More…]
The DEPUTY PRESIDENT (Senator Webster)- I think Senator Wood’s remarks were made more in the nature of political comment. [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 AIDC, acting alone, to gain access. [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 the areas under its direct control. [More…]
The Minister for the Environment and Conservation (Dr Cass) will also soon be introducing a Bill to make finance available to the States for nature conservation purposes and a Bill creating a Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. [More…]
In this year’s Budget $9m has been provided for National Parks and Nature Reserves. [More…]
The Council of Nature Conservation Ministers set up on this Government’s initiative will, I hope, help in the development of a national approach to the conservation of our unique fauna and flora. [More…]
The National Parks and Wildlife Service will also facilitate co-operation with the States in the national nature conservation effort, and the meeting of Australia’s obligations under the increasing number of international agreements for the conservation of wildlife to which this Government has become a signatory. [More…]
Its functions will include education of park rangers and the provision of assistance to other countries in nature conservation matters. [More…]
Under the Bill, the Service will be able to manage parks for a variety of purposes in addition to nature conservation, such as tourism, recreation, and for scientific investigation. [More…]
To achieve this protection the Australian Labor Party in its platform has pledged to ‘conserve for future generations adequate samples of Australia’s unique flora and fauna by the development of a comprehensive system of national parks, nature and recreation reserves’. [More…]
This will deal with important aspects of environmental concern, in addition to nature conservation, aimed at halting man’s unthinking degradation of the total environment, the genesis of life on this planet. [More…]
The fact that the House of Representatives chose to deal with matters of the nature of this legislation and not debate, in the sessional period which has concluded on its part, the Family Law Bill was a matter for its decision and not a matter for the Senate. [More…]
This is one of the occasions on which it is unfortunate that a Bill of this nature comes before us so close to the end of the session because a wide variety of matters relating to university education and the role of universities in our community would have merited an opportunity for a sound, intelligent and helpful debate. [More…]
The nature of the scheme for stabilisation of land prices as contained in the Bill provides that the Minister for the Northern Territory may gazette a notice in the Northern Territory Gazette under which he would declare an area of land in the Northern Territory an investigation area for the purposes of this proposed Act. [More…]
I do not think it is reasonable to expect the Government to bring that rationalisation program under legislation of this nature. [More…]
It is simply not realistic to expect interest rates to be reduced in the face of inflation which is of a greater nature in prospect in the future than we have had during 1974. [More…]
Perhaps lying in each of those files there is a great volume of information regarding the existence and the nature of the water tables. [More…]
How can the religious and charitable institutions be so naive as even to contemplate entering into an agreement of this nature with any government, especially this avowed and pledged socialist Government? [More…]
Mr Deputy President, I remind you that those were my words in this chamber on 16 May 1973 when I was referring to the extremely serious nature of the situation and seeking some action by this dilatory Government. [More…]
1 ) The Prime Minister’s speech and the brochure make it clear that the purpose of the legislation is to provide equalisation grants of a revenue nature. [More…]
The Prime Minister’s statement regarding single purpose or specific development projects relates to expenditure of a capital nature and is thus entirely consistent with the advice given to councils in the brochure. [More…]
The imposition of a special tax on advertising, or in particular on advertising of essential commodities, would give rise to significant administrative problems stemming in the main from the discriminatory nature of the tax. [More…]
That there be referred to the Standing Committee on Finance and Gaovernment Operations the following matter: The nature and extent of Australian Government assistance to industry with particular reference to: [More…]
Such rejection thwarts the Government in its stated aim to introduce a health scheme of this nature, one which has been stated clearly by the Government in 1972 and again in 1974. [More…]
Firstly I will dispose of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill. [More…]
This Bill therefore provides for $9m to be made available in this year’s Budget as part of a 3-year program for the expenditure of $20m on the acquisition of land for national parks and nature reserves. [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 the areas under its direct control. [More…]
The Minister for Environment and Conservation in another place has said repeatedly that it is not the intention of the Commonwealth Government to seek to override or to supplant the States in their role in connection with national parks, wildlife and nature conservation. [More…]
The Minister said that the National Parks and Wildlife Service also will facilitate cooperation with the States in the nature conservation effort and the meeting of Australia’s obligations under the increasing number of international agreements. [More…]
In the course of the Committee debate the Opposition will be moving a substantial amendment to ensure that land shall not be acquired by the Commonwealth Government, if the land is dedicated or reserved under a law of a State, without the consent of the State, for purposes related to nature conservation, and so on. [More…]
Monuments, architectural works, works of monumental scuplture and paintings, elements of structures of archaeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of features which are of outstanding universal value, groups of buildings, groups of separate or connected buildings which because of their architecture, their homogeneity or their place in the landscape are of outstanding universal value. [More…]
May I concentrate on this next item - works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
The Minister himself would admit that it is slightly too broad a term of reference to be able to make regulations concerning the works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
The Opposition does not want in any way to white-ant the substantial nature of this Bill. [More…]
in reply- I think it is very fitting that Senator Mulvihill should speak on legislation of this nature because he was probably one of the earliest members of Parliament in Australia, if not the earliest, to be consistently advocating the cause of conservation and the cause of national parks. [More…]
It has now become quite common for everybody to pay at least Up service to the principles of nature conservation in which Senator Mulvihill played an early role, in fact the earliest role I think of us all in this Parliament, with his advocacy from the very first day that he became a member of the Senate. [More…]
It supports the Council of Environmental Ministers which, when considering procedural matters, agreed on what should be the nature of an environmental impact study and decided that all statements should assert the need for the particular undertaking, its objective, what alternative means there are to achieve the same ends or goals and what the environmental impact might be. [More…]
This is the second time in 2 days that we have had to consider under duress legislation of a most important nature. [More…]
Now, because the wool industry and the wool producers want this legislation they are saying, in effect, to member of Parliament, that we should allow matters of a highly ideological nature and a socialistic approach to private free enterprise to be included in the Bill, because they want, their organisation established before next March. [More…]
Therefore they have jeopardised the proper amendments they tried to get of a detailed but most important nature to them. [More…]
In view of the nature of the functions of the Commission, it is considered that the main emphasis should be placed on commercial and technical skills. [More…]
The real reason for the introduction of this measure at the moment is the urgency of the situation and the critical nature of the positions of many manufacturers brought about by a series of lather strange and peculiar unco-ordinated Government actions. [More…]
in reply- The purpose of the Structural Adjustment (Loan Guarantees) Bill is to assist firms which have been disadvantaged or require to change the nature of their operations as a result of policies which have been taken by the present Government. [More…]
States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill 1974 [More…]
Note- Nature of amendments and action taken are outlined in Appendix 4B [More…]
Did he return; if not, were there any further contacts between the Department and Ermolenko; if so, what was their nature. [More…]
Senator Townley, would you indicate the nature of your statement? [More…]
-The following question also contained material of that nature. [More…]
I had some discussions about the Jackson Committee this morning with the permanent head of my Department but not of an extensive enough nature to be able to answer Senator Cotton’s question. [More…]
In view of the many special services and facilities provided by the Australian Government for the residents of Darwin following the devastating cyclone on Christmas Day, among them being certain mail and telecommunications concessions, can he inform the Senate their extent and nature? [More…]
As Senator Laucke would be aware, it is customary for requests of that nature to come from the Premier of the State concerned to the Prime Minister. [More…]
I ask this with this question also in mind: Is the Minister aware of the enormous heartbreak and hardships that were caused despite the great actions of Post Office and other employees in the week or more after the cyclone when it was not possible for people to find out whether their relatives or friends had survived or what was the nature of injuries and accidents? [More…]
The honourable senator of course will appreciate that the Government has the policy of political and programming independence for the Australian Broadcasting Commission, but I certainly believe that matters of the nature to which Senator Mulvihill has referred have to be watched very closely by the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
While admitting some substance to the arguments of the honourable senators who have spoken against the proposed amendment, in net balance I suggest that,after nearly 10 years of struggling to try to get some sort of an analysis made of the Standing Orders, which are a hangover from an earlier time when the problem confronted the Senate, and which were not anything of the order and nature they are today, we give these proposed standing orders a go. [More…]
Some poor person could have a question of the nature indicated by Senator Cavanagh but if somebody says ‘no’ when he seeks leave to ask if he does not get a chance to say what it is. [More…]
Now however serious our own problems and however acute my concern about them- and I trust my concern is not in questionI believe a 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…]
Where matter is incorporated in Hansard by leave of the Senate, it shall be on the understanding that the final decision as to the practicability of incorporating material such as graphs, maps, blocks, etc., and incorporating material of an improper nature or which is irrelevant, shall be made by the President. [More…]
The proposal to leave out reference to the Minister is aimed at meeting a circumstance where, because of the nature of the subject matter of a particular urgency motion, it might be appropriate on occasion that a senator other than a Minister be allowed to follow the mover of the urgency motion. [More…]
The National Aboriginal Congress representative in Cloncurry has told a number of people in writing over his own signature that the local police broke into a house, apparently without a warrant, woke people in their beds, took blankets off them and started interrogating them. [More…]
The only way in which that kind of thing will ever be sorted out is by making sure that there is a frank and open inquiry of the nature that I have suggested. [More…]
) What is the nature of the research for which each gram was made. [More…]
What information as to (a) the nature of the research to be undertaken (b) the qualifications, (c) the aptitude or ability of the applicants to carry out such research and (d ) the availability, or otherwise, of other funds to carry out such research was required to bc supplied by the applicants. [More…]
-There was naturally a desire on the part of the Australian Government, once the decision had been made to go into the frequency modulation band of broadcasting, to get a station of this nature on the air as quickly as possible. [More…]
Have honourable senators ever heard of anything more distasteful than a statement of that nature? [More…]
There were more strikes of a nature damaging to the economy than we had had at any previous period of our history, so much so that the Government completely reversed the attitude of encouragement and demand that it had adopted when it first took office, and we had even Labor Ministers turning to the unions and almost pleading for moderation and restraint. [More…]
Whilst the amendment proposed by Senator Withers is of a compromise nature- I am the first to admit that- at this stage I do not think it goes far enough. [More…]
The Interim Commission has met 3 times and has resolved on a good many matters including the need for underground electrical wiring, a new building code, the necessity to consider Government assistance for housing to meet the stringent safety standards which will need to be laid down, the general nature of redevelopment of devastated suburbs, land availability, etc. [More…]
At the same meeting it was decided that my Department, in order to obtain better sales of Hansard in the interests of Parliament, should conduct a feasibility study as to whether business houses and establishments of that nature would be interested in receiving copies of the daily Hansard. [More…]
The high cost was due to the experimental nature of the building. [More…]
He went on to make other statements of a similar nature, but I shall quote only one more. [More…]
I hope I never see the day- I would have thought that the professed upholders of the Constitution would never want to see the day- when matters of this nature will be the subject of chess moves of a constitutional character in order to gain political advantage. [More…]
1 do not believe that it is any use Senator Wright, Senator Withers, Mr Lewis or anybody else saying that he is entitled to distort the Constitutionthat is what they are doing- or to distort the nature of democratic government in this country because he strongly disagrees with the policy of the Australian Labor Party and the present Government because it is centralist, communist, socialist or whatever else. [More…]
That has been a particularly serious factor for the States because not only by this arrangement of uniform taxation had they been excluded from imposing income tax- of course, that is not only personal income tax but also company tax- but also by the Constitution they have been precluded at all times from raising tax in the nature of excise, the definition of which the High Court has interpreted quite widely. [More…]
It covers anything in the nature of a sales tax or a purchase tax. [More…]
The nature of the sharing of revenue in Australia is based on the fact that the Commonwealth Government has virtually a monopoly on raising money and it has in its discretion and by its decision handed back to the States the money it has seen fit to hand back. [More…]
As I said, the nature of that approach has been that the Commonwealth has all the money and it hands back to the States what it sees fit to give them based on some notions which were virtually fossilised back in 1 942. [More…]
-I think there may be some misunderstanding in Senator Webster’s mindthat appears to be so from the nature of his questionbecause there are 2 avenues by which the Government has been supporting the industry. [More…]
I would think that a delay of 1 8 months in settling a claim of this nature would be remarkably short compared with the delays that people usually suffer when they have so-called common law claims for damages against people who may have been guilty of some wrongful act such as negligence which caused an injury. [More…]
The expenditure by political parties and candidates at the 1974 Senate and House of Representatives elections for broadcasting and televising time on commercial stations alone was in the nature of $ 1.5 m and in this connection I quote from the Australian Broadcasting Control Board ‘s Twenty-sixth Annual Report on its operations during the year ended 30 June 1 974. [More…]
At this stage I simply point out the general nature of the concern we have with areas of this Bill. [More…]
r safety standards which will need to be laid down, the general nature of redevelopment of devastated suburbs, land availability, etc. [More…]
If an honourable senator wants to make interjections of that nature I can tell him that Bob Menzies, in his heyday as Prime Minister of Australia, used to wander across to the other side of the world- not by fast jet plane but by ship- enjoying the pleasures of life while he travelled there and enjoying the pleasures of life while he travelled back. [More…]
Anybody who has experienced a cyclone of this nature would know the trauma it causes and would well know the upset it causes children. [More…]
Never at any time was it possible to know before an aircraft arrived, or even when it arrived, who were the people on board, what was the nature of the problems on board, what were the illnesses of the people on board, what was their degree of injury, what was their destination or what were their accommodation needs. [More…]
Clause 6 goes on to set out the functions of the Commission and paragraph (a) states: to assist the Australian Government in determining the desirable extent, nature and purposes of the use and development of the Darwin Area. [More…]
-I think there may be some misunderstanding in Senator Webster’s mindthat appears to be so from the nature of his questionbecause there are 2 avenues by which the Government has been supporting the industry. [More…]
In view of the nature of the question I will obtain from my colleague Mr Connor, for the information of the honourable senator, the precise position on drillings in the last year or two. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether advertising of this nature could be termed false and misleading advertising and therefore be a breach of the Trade Practices Act. [More…]
There are a number of other possible contenders for this role in a Bill of this nature. [More…]
I do not propose to read the functions fully but they do give the most extensive powers to this Commission, the nature of which I dealt with in my speech yesterday. [More…]
As far as Senator Hall’s question is concerned, the reason for the phrase ‘a determination affecting the use of land’ is that in the first place, and for some time, there may not be anything in the nature of a town plan. [More…]
The Commission may determine the desirable extent, nature and purpose of the use and development of land. [More…]
I think Senator Georges put the case for my amendment very effectively because he emphasised the nature of the emergency. [More…]
The elected chairman of the Darwin Citizens’ Council has been accorded the right to attend meetings of the Commission and will have access to all information of a non-confidential nature, except, for example, tender documents etc. [More…]
Therefore if the amendment were to be accepted no action could be taken by the Commission until the appointment of a General Manager, which position by reason of its vital nature and the need to secure the best available person might not be finally filled for some weeks. [More…]
I want to assure Senator Hall that by nature I am not a suspicious person. [More…]
In answer to the Minister, I think he has really misunderstood the nature of sub-clause (2). [More…]
The only thing I would say about the general nature of the question is that the Government has a program which envisages the introduction of a national compensation scheme. [More…]
It is obviously necessary for the Department, if it is to engage in adequate research into the nature of any proposed national compensation scheme, to employ people with experience and competence in that and related fields otherwise what would be done could be quite unsatisfactory. [More…]
I saw reports in the Press alleging that fines of this nature would be imposed under new legislation to be brought down. [More…]
I am given to understand that as a result of my raising that matter with the Board, the Board in turn raised the subject with the Attorney-General’s Department which expressed the opinion that because certain matter of confidential nature to the stations is supplied by the stations to the Board and the Board includes that confidential matter in the report to me, to make the document publicly available we, and I in particular, as the Minister, would be breaching the confidentiality of the material in the report. [More…]
However, I have suggested to the Chairman of the Broadcasting Control Board that he should provide me with a report containing material not of a confidential nature which I should be able to table and that if there were any material of a confidential nature that had to be put to me, it could be put to me by way of a separate document. [More…]
What is the ludicrous nature of this distinction? [More…]
For it is inevitable, given Australia’s nature and situation, that the national government must accept greater involvement in all these matters which were once deemed to be the sole responsibility of the States or of local government. [More…]
As this booklet points out, the assistance is given to the following projects: films of an experimental or innovatory nature; mini-budget features; television pilots; one-shot dramas or documentaries which are of a high standard but not necessarily commercial propositions; development of film treatments and/or screen plays; alternative and other cinemas for screening non-theatrical films; national film bodies; film festivals and cultural organisations; the use of video as a creative and sociological tool; media publications; and creative fellowships to film directors and writers. [More…]
As reported at page 656 of the judgment he said: 1 can see no real reason for limiting in any way the nature of the conditions which may be imposed. [More…]
Of course, the IAC would barely have been operating then and it was not the role of the Tariff Board, nor is it the role of the IAC now, to make recommendations of that nature to the Government. [More…]
Under this Bill, the initial quotas are to be governed, as to their timing and their nature, by regulations which may be disallowed by either House cf the Parliament. [More…]
Any political party of a national nature campaigns in all States and it incurs costs which may be allocated partly to one State and partly to another. [More…]
I cite that as another example of the unfair way in which provisions of that nature can operate. [More…]
I say this not in criticism just of this Bill but I note that the limited nature of items set out in that proposed new section is extraordinary. [More…]
I wonder whether it would not be a good idea for honourable senators opposite to get together with their leaders and decide whether they are going to debate and oppose any Bill that this Government puts before the Parliament just to be destructive or whether they are going to be constructive in Opposition and provide us with real examples of what they claim is the damage that will be caused by a Bill of this nature. [More…]
to answer that question because the tabling of a document of this nature comes within the jurisdiction of the Minister for Foreign Affairs and his Department rather than my and my Department’s jurisdiction. [More…]
I place on record in the Senate a query of the Minister representing the Attorney-General as to whether there is any provision in the Electoral Act to prevent the circulation, in official publications, of blatant lies of this nature. [More…]
It was one more in the nature of a statistical booklet and, I understand, was published about 6 months after the statistics it incorporated had become available. [More…]
So far as students are concerned, the Government has determined that my Department shall arrange for a copy of all Government publications to be made available free of charge to libraries of universities, tertiary institutions and bodies of that nature. [More…]
The Bill seeks to set up a comprehensive Federal court that will extend throughout the whole area of Australia and take jurisdiction in original matters of a very complex nature. [More…]
The second reason it gave was that there are large areas of jurisdiction which are of a specialised nature which justly fall under Federal jurisdiction. [More…]
It is put that the Bill should be seen in the light of the growing complexity of our society and of the changing nature of the role of the courts. [More…]
This has completely changed the nature of that Court from one of industrial expertise to one which now is charged with functions under various Commonwealth statutes and commissions in terms of boards of inquiry, royal commissions and so on which have totally changed the scene. [More…]
We ought to know what will be the nature of that tribunal. [More…]
The next objection which the Opposition has is to the nature of this legislation. [More…]
The Opposition is quite delighted to hold up not only legislation of that nature but also our health [More…]
For all practical purposes that right has been obtained, unless we can get legislation of this nature carried in this Parliament. [More…]
Is it possible for a country of this nature to ensure that it has sufficient equity in the development of its resources? [More…]
Although I think the word ‘blackmail’ probably is better not used, I would agree that tactics of this nature are unfortunate. [More…]
The Minister is given wide powers to determine the nature and function of a hospital under sections 24, 25 and 34 and the Minister has unlimited powers of inspection of hospitals and their records under sections 36, 37 and 133. [More…]
The arguments used by the Opposition in this Bill demonstrate the desperate nature of the Opposition. [More…]
Nowhere today was the nature of the opposition demonstrated more clearly than in the statement by Senator Baume which I believe Senator Melzer mentioned. [More…]
The Opposition has no idea of the nature of trade unions; it has no idea of what goes on in trade unions when it talks in the way in which it does. [More…]
The range of the vehicle before recharging varied between 35 and 50 miles, depending on the nature of the work. [More…]
Are not misleading and mischievous statements of this nature conclusive proof that members of the Opposition are set on a deliberate course to undermine the confidence of the people? [More…]
My attention was drawn to the matter by the source from which the article originated, but having regard to the nature of the source I do not think anyone would give credence to the article. [More…]
At the outset I shall refer to portion of that statement because, in the first place, I think it very clearly indicates the nature of the inquiry into this question which the Senate initiated by its reference to the Committee. [More…]
Senator McAuliffe very clearly sets out the great importance of the legislative proposals which we have before us and the nature of the inquiry by the Senate Committee. [More…]
It is absolutely essential that the Bills be debated cognately because of the nature of the interlocking relationship between one Bill and the other. [More…]
Because of the very nature of the vegetable processing industry it is necessary to work 24 hours a day for three to four months of the year during the vital part of the season, which is the harvesting and processing of beans, peas and a number of other vegetables. [More…]
As to the amount of investments or loans that the Film Development Corporation has made to Crawford Productions, I am not in a position to provide immediate information of that nature but I can tell the honourable senator that in the 7-month period up to January the Film Development Corporation, which is a statutory body, invested or loaned $1.4m compared with an amount of $ 1. [More…]
The Committee’s report is designed to define the nature of its powers and its place in A.C.T. [More…]
Theirs has been an unenviable task because of the change of personnel of the Committee and the complex nature of the inquiry. [More…]
I think it has amply demonstrated on this occasion what can be done by committees of this nature. [More…]
That does not mean to say, of course, that all our programs have to be of a documentary nature. [More…]
If he makes a mistake not only of an administrative nature but also in the professional content of the job for which he has been trained, perhaps something could be done about it. [More…]
Monuments, architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and paintings, elements of structures of archeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of features which are of outstanding universal value, groups of buildings, groups of separate or connected buildings which because of their architecture, their homogeneity or their place in the landscape are of outstanding universal value from the point of view of history, art or science - [More…]
If I may interpolate, the next words are the important words - works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
The third treaty deals with the point which I think Senator Carrick made about matters which could be of nature and man combined. [More…]
It may well be that some of the terms of these international treaties and conventions are of a nature that may well be open to dispute in the parliament of the country whose government has entered into such treaty or convention. [More…]
I am quite sure that the Government would not claim, in view of the almost embryonic nature of the work that has been done, that the legislation will be found to be perfect. [More…]
Because of the changing nature of Western societies during the centuries it is necessary now for governments to play a much greater role in patronising the arts as individuals now play the role of patron to a much lesser extent than they did in days gone by. [More…]
It will be remembered that when the Book Bounty Bill was introduced the bounty was to apply only to books of a literary or educational nature. [More…]
If that proposition commended itself to the Senate there would be an opportunity for a committee of that nature to consider the matters he raised. [More…]
There it is recorded that on 1 1 December last there was referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Government Operations the subject the nature and extent of Australian Government assistance to industry’. [More…]
The credit which is appropriated to the Development Bank under this Bill is of a supplementary nature and is different in kind from the credit that is normally provided by the commercial banking system. [More…]
In spite of the minor nature of the error the Government considers that, in view of the constitutional significance of the Bill, it is important that it should express exactly the intention of the Government. [More…]
It will be clear from the nature of the items included in these Bills that the granting of these appropriations could not be referred until the time of the normal additional estimates. [More…]
If Senator Baume is able to point to some properly researched survey of this nature I would be grateful to be informed of it. [More…]
I know that the honourable senator, on behalf of the Musicians Union, has been making representations to me on matters of this nature for some time. [More…]
Consequently, I am pleased to be able to tell the honourable senator that the Broadcasting Control Board now believes that in the interests of further strengthening the Australian nature of broadcasting all station identification jingles should be wholly produced in this country and the Board has directed that generally speaking from 1 July of this year no station or program identification jingle which is imported may be broadcast. [More…]
When I was in Darwin with a number of my colleagues 2 days after the cyclone struck, I had discussions with Mr Lewis, the general manager of the television station, about the extent of the damage, the extent of insurance cover and other matters of that nature. [More…]
Naturally, because of the reduced and changed nature of the audience in Darwin, it can be anticipated that the operating costs of the station will exceed advertising revenue for at least the next year or so. [More…]
In their amount they are minimal, but in their nature, as indicating the level of responsibility and the urgency of containing inflation and resisting wage increases which are the chief ingredient of the critical inflation today, salaries of members are of the utmost significance. [More…]
I cannot use the words I have used before and I will not do so; nevertheless it concerns and disappoints me that issues of this nature can be used for purely political purposes. [More…]
Certainly we cannot be held to be responsible for creating the situation in which funds are required due to the ravages of nature, such as the disaster which befell the city of Darwin at Christmas. [More…]
I close by once again drawing the attention of this chamber to the necessity for these Appropriation Bills to be passed because circumstances of nature and misadventure demand that this should happen. [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…]
Each of these solutions, however, presents considerable difficulties the nature of which is outlined in the explanatory memorandum. [More…]
The nature of the changes made appear from the explanatory memorandum. [More…]
Will the Minister name the countries concerned and state the nature of the protests? [More…]
I have seen reports of this nature and, as the honourable senator has said, they are mischievous. [More…]
Those programs have been produced, or are being produced, in many modes, such as videotape, slide sound, film and means of that nature. [More…]
Those who acted for Australia as a 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…]
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 also said in my opening remarks that one of the purposes of the proposed Bill is to ensure that the power, duties and functions of the proposed Commission are, where possible, consistent with other statutory authorities with a similar nature. [More…]
Whether or not there is Medibank we believe that there are certain malpractices, for want of a better term- I do not want to imply by that anything of an unlawful nature in the conduct of the existing funds- which will be corrected by the legislation now before the Senate as National Health Bill (No. [More…]
They assessed the nature of participation by individuals and groups in the projects, the viability of the regions and the extent to which the regional councils seem capable of achieving their stated objectives. [More…]
The Commissioner of Police in the Australian Capital Territory, after a full consideration of the circumstances and the nature of the article, considered that it would be doubtful whether a prosecution would succeed. [More…]
If the Department has received such reports can he inform the Senate whether there is any substance in them and what is the nature of the build up of this alleged Soviet missile base in Somalia? [More…]
As to the exact nature of the criticism of the ABC news reports on developments in Indo-China I accept the explanation of journalists in the field that it is often difficult for them to identify forces that are involved in the fighting. [More…]
Can the Minister for Repatriation and Compensation inform the Senate of the nature of the constructions now being carried out at the repatriation hospital in Hobart, and can he inform us what future plans his Department has for this hospital? [More…]
It is not much use adopting double standards while putting up an argument of this nature. [More…]
We are willing to debate this matter, but to my mind, in view of the special nature of this problem, it would be appropriate to send it to a special committee, and that is why we have proposed that the matter should be sent to a Senate select committee. [More…]
Having said that there ought to be a national regulatory body or a securities commission, the question arises as to the nature of the body that is desirable, what its powers should be, how it should operate and so on. [More…]
I suppose it is part of the nature of our society that if people who are inclined to do these things can get away with them under the law or if there are no laws to prevent them from doing these things, obviously they will do them. [More…]
I believe that the Committee tried to grapple with an extremely complex industry and to come up with findings and recommendations which would be a guide to the Government of the day when framing legislation of this nature. [More…]
After 5 years of inquiry by a Senate committee, after 2 years of deliberation by the Government of the day in preparing this legislation and after the majority of people involved in the securities industry had indicated their desire that a commission of this nature be established- despite all those things- the Opposition wants to refer this legislation to another select committee which must report by a certain date. [More…]
Senator Greenwood has told us that for many years the Liberal Party has been anxious to see a Bill of this nature, but it was too preoccupied with other things to actually introduce the Bill during those many long weary years- like Stephen’s reign- when it reigned. [More…]
Knowing the gentle nature of the honourable senator I am surprised that he asked such a question. [More…]
I refer now to the nature of the Commission and the powers that are proposed for it. [More…]
In this respect I derive less advantage than in other aspects of the Senate Committee’s report “because I find that at the end of the report- I think I am correct- when describing the nature of the Commission only 8 pages are taken to illustrate the sort of thing that the Committee had in mind. [More…]
What we need to examine closely is the nature and the structure of legislation with regard to what is happening in the 20th century. [More…]
I believe it is certainly necessary that we should construct a framework which is one national framework, bearing in mind the nationwide nature of the operation of the securities industry and the nationwide nature of the operation of the majority- or at least a large numberof the public corporations in Australia. [More…]
The Committee said that from its extensive research and hearings it was satisfied that the real nature and extent of the problems involved has in the past been misunderstood. [More…]
Notwithstanding the publicity of all the evidence which had been heard by the Committee, it was the view of the Committee that people still did not understand the nature and the extent of the abuses which had been taking place within the securities industry and did not accept that there was an overwhelming case for major reform within the regulation of that industry. [More…]
Nevertheless, the magnitude and rapidity of the changes in our securities markets and the resulting changes in the nature of the issues which confront all concerned with the regulation of those markets, including the self-regulatory agencies, have thrown a considerable strain upon the existing pattern of self regulation which has, in turn, revealed certain weaknesses. [More…]
The clause then gives the Commission a right, if it is satisfied it is desirable to do so, by reason of the confidential nature of any evidence or matter or for any other reason, to direct that the hearing take place in private. [More…]
I believe that the Committee tried to grapple with an extremely complex industry and to come up with findings and recommendations which would be a guide to the Government of the day when framing legislation of this nature. [More…]
We are seeing the classic conservative ploy in a case of this nature. [More…]
The Committee considered that information in respect of these areas was necessary in order for the Committee to be able to report on whether foreign ownership and control was prejudicial and /or excessive, a task which all senators will admit was a mammoth task and one which required a never ending inquiry because of the comprehensive nature of the terms of reference. [More…]
In summarising I would like to say, firstly, that the terms of reference of the old Committee, the Senate Select Committee on Foreign Ownership and Control, were too broad; they were too comprehensive in their nature. [More…]
Secondly, the inquiries of the Committee, by the nature of its terms of reference, were lengthy and often were superseded by changes in government policy or foreshadowed changes in government policy. [More…]
The changing personnel on the Committee and the comprehensive nature of the terms of reference resulted in a reluctance on the part of new Committee members to bring down recommendations on evidence that they had not heard or when they had not appreciated the climate in which the submissions had been made. [More…]
We found that the more we tried to decide the nature of an inquiry which should be undertaken the more restricting those terms of reference appeared to be. [More…]
The Clerk telephoned Mr Brown to ascertain the nature of the information and immediately thereafter informed the Chairman who subsequently directed that Mr Brown be called as a witness. [More…]
As advised I have not had directly or indirectly any interest which can be described as being of a pecuniary nature in agreements between the Company and the Commonwealth. [More…]
Following upon his statement at his Press Conference at 1 p.m. today about the establishment of an Australian Government insurance office, will the Minister state whether anything in the nature of a feasibility study was undertaken by the Government before a decision was taken to establish such an office? [More…]
I think that one would have to take the inquiries of that interdepartmental committee as being in the nature of a feasibility study. [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, humiliation and injury to the feelings of an aggrieved person. [More…]
I am not aware of any thoughts in the Treasurer’s mind of such a tax, but I am quite sure that before taking any decisions of such a nature he would take into account those factors to which Senator Durack has referred. [More…]
Despite the critics we will continue to do all we can of a constructive nature, with the resources available to us, to ensure that there is work for Australian creative and performing artists. [More…]
The inflation of claims has arisen for a number of reasons, not only because of the general inflation but also because of the awards which have been given by courts and because of the fact that workers compensation insurance of its own nature creates the problem of meeting commitments which may not arise perhaps for decades after the payment of the premiums. [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…]
A pressing need for the future is for a better understanding of the nature of accident-related behaviour and improvements to techniques of road user behaviour modification. [More…]
One is fortified in a comment of this nature by reference to the fact that the present Opposition when in government in 1971 brought forward proposals for amendments to the Electoral Act which were allowed to lapse at that time. [More…]
I did not read the ‘West Australian’ but it would surprise me if there were any headlines of that nature in the ‘West Australian ‘. [More…]
I ask: Does this indicate the continuing intention of the Government to deny the Parliament any opportunity of determining the nature, growth and powers of the regional and other bodies set up under the scheme or their relationship with existing local government bodies? [More…]
I think it would be appreciated that legislation of a narrow, circumscribing nature is not entirely appropriate to the administration of a scheme such as the Australian Assistance Plan. [More…]
Despite many distressing experiences down the years I retain some faith in human nature, even in Liberal Party senators. [More…]
The nature of the noise abatement procedures, including the preferred flight path in use at the present time, is dictated very largely by the high terrain in the area. [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 senators. [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…]
I am not clear from what I have been told as to what was the nature of the ‘paper’ required to be obtained from the Yugoslav police. [More…]
I think it is worthwhile that these matters be revealed so that the nature of what is being practised can be exposed for what it is- a selective treatment against some citizens because the Government does not like them. [More…]
I understand that when details of this nature are worked out further discussions will take place to see how the types of stations contemplated might be controlled and operated. [More…]
I propose to show the Senate where on at least 2 occasions to my knowledge something of a similar nature has occurred. [More…]
This is a simple matter of human nature. [More…]
-The last time I can remember something of this nature occurring was when the wife of a member of the Liberal Party was advertising sheets. [More…]
I am aware that Senator Mulvihill inquired of the Minister for Foreign Affairs the latest position but I regret that I have not been able to obtain anything of a more up to date nature. [More…]
What is the nature of Australia’s recognition of Cambodia? [More…]
Having regard to the size, scale and pervasive nature of the operations of the services involved, the Government established an interdepartmental working group to examine these recommendations in detail. [More…]
The very nature of the telecommunications network requires the setting up, maintenance and operation of physical lines of communication on both public and private property. [More…]
1 ) A member who is directly or indirectly interested in a contract made or proposed to be made by the Authority, otherwise than as a member of, and in common with the other members of, an incorporated company consisting of not less than 25 persons shall, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Authority. [More…]
There will be a very significant shift in not only the nature of its work but also in the degree of its responsibility. [More…]
If, as I think Senator Cotton mentioned, there is some thought by the Government that it can finance itself out of a paper deficit by some increase in overseas borrowings, an agglomeration of Middle East loan moneys or something of that nature - [More…]
The Air Transport Group has some valuable records of an historical nature including photographs, maps, charts, equipment and a number of aircraft important in aviation history, for example Kingsford-Smith ‘s Southern Cross at Brisbane and Sir Ross and Keith Smith’s Vickers Vimy at Adelaide. [More…]
Because a great number of matters of foreign policy and correspondence between heads of state and governments naturally have to be of a confidential nature, it is essential that the government of the day, in its communications with other nations, at least portrays the point of view that it has put to its own people. [More…]
He ought to recall that the Prime Munster today, when he debated this issue in the House of Representatives, acknowledged that in one respect the 2 sets of documents- the letters and the cables- were different; not in their purport or purpose, as he said, but in their very nature. [More…]
When a man says that cables are different in their nature but not in their purport or purpose, I wonder what he is seeking to conceal by that adroit use of language. [More…]
the first thing you should do is to regularise, through legislation, the position and activity of your Legal Atd Offices, and thereby remove much of the suspicion and alarm which is to be found in the legal profession at the present time as to the unending nature of the expansion of their work. [More…]
This obviously is an area which is in need of greater assistance and greater recognition, and it will come only through the establishment of a proper commission, not just a commission such as the Government has in mind, of an advisory nature, but one which has substantial powers to determine where the real needs are. [More…]
I would like to correct a certain misapprehension which Senator Greenwood had about the nature of the grant of legal aid to Victoria. [More…]
I believe that grants of this nature, which I regard as exceptional, in general should be the subject of a section 96 grant. [More…]
With regard to the other portion of the honourable senator’s question, about what other plans are being made for stations of this nature, I can tell the honourable senator that plans for the development of broadcasting and television services generally are in the course of preparation now, and I hope to be able to make another submission in the near future to the Australian Government. [More…]
I shall now turn to 2 major factors determining the nature of trade union training provisions of the Bill. [More…]
Instructors and lecturers need to thoroughly understand their subject and the objectives and nature of the trade union movement. [More…]
I submit to the Senate that this item is of a very exceptional nature. [More…]
I say that the Senate, far from being in a position similar to the House of Lords which is a House that is by its nature bereft of all financial power, is committed to a duty in relation to the ordinary annual services of Government to scrutinise them and if necessary request that amendments be made. [More…]
I put it to the Government that, considering the important nature of the work that is carried out in the building, and not just as a matter of the sheer comfort of the members of this Parliament, it is high time that the extra work was planned. [More…]
The amount and rate of increase and the unspecified nature of the expenditure are proper and legitimate matters of concern. [More…]
It will be a Government propaganda exercise again to tell the people of this country- to feed information out to the city Press, the rural Press and local governments all over the place- the nature of Government policies, the reason for Government policies, second reading speeches of Ministers and such other matters as will gradually get around to selling Government policies to this community; a sell for which this community will be paying. [More…]
Senator Wriedt suggested, in a brief reply to Senator Cotton, that perhaps the chief reason for this sort of expansion was the extreme expansionary nature of the Australian Government’s performance. [More…]
Because of the very nature of the Treasurer’s Advance it is always a sum of uncertainties. [More…]
During the inquiry, when the Committee demanded evidence of a nature which would show that certain sections of the Constitution were not sufficient to protect the integrity of members, quite by accident- Senator Hall knows that it was by accident- the Committee was faced with evidence brought before it which involved Senator Webster. [More…]
To ensure that Senator Webster was not alone in having to go to the High Court and have his position in this place tested, it was decided by the Senate- Senator Hall should not deny this, nor should he endeavour to confuse it- that a Judicial Committee should be set up to hear any other evidence of a similar nature which might disqualify a senator. [More…]
Even a former National Country Party Minister, who was a Minister for the Interior not so long ago and who therefore was in charge of the Australian Information Service, made statements about propaganda machines and matters of that nature, encouraging the media to bark like dogs, as it were, at the Australian Government Liaison Service. [More…]
As a result of that, and because funds of this nature are not immediately available to the Broadcasting Control Board or to my Department, recently I wrote to my colleague, the Minister for Social Security, to see whether it is possible for him to provide funds under the Australian Assistance Plan. [More…]
The Broadcasting Control Board has informed me- I saw publicity given to this matter recently- that it has decided temporarily to relax the present restrictions on the advertising of personal products in order to test the reaction of the public to advertising of this nature. [More…]
After consideration the Board determined that advertising of this nature will be permitted for a trial period ending on 1 June 1976. [More…]
I do not know whether something of that nature may be written in very small print into some insurance policies. [More…]
Our understanding of the matter, particularly in regard to the assurance that we have received from the insurance companies, is that no problem of this nature will arise. [More…]
I believe that people are entitled to know the full nature and extent of the commitment which has been made by the Commonwealth, and I ask the Minister to spell it out clearly and unequivocally. [More…]
What is the nature and extent of the Commonwealth’s financial assistance and commitment? [More…]
Can people know what is the nature and extent of the Commonwealth Government’s commitment to the construction of a second permanent crossing over the Derwent River in the Hobart region? [More…]
If no claims have been made, does this in some way give some reflection of the nature of the agreement and the nature and extent of the reimbursement which the Tasmanian Government can expect? [More…]
What is planned, so far as the Commonwealth is concerned, in the way of a contribution to any emergency health service which may be proposed and developed and to emergency services of any other nature, such as child care facilities on the eastern shore where now, because of the problem of transport, people are away from home longer and their needs in relation to child care may be greater? [More…]
A vast number of problems of this nature have arisen all of which have been given quite a deal of publicity. [More…]
I do not know about other armies but I know that when I was in the Australian Army it seemed to be in the nature of the beast that we growled. [More…]
It seems to be the nature of the Australian people that if they are not happy about what is happening they growl about it and make their opinions known to their neighbour, their political representative or somebody else. [More…]
With winter coming on and emergency transportation services not being readily available it is fairly obvious that something of a positive nature is needed quickly. [More…]
It is interesting to note that Mr Jones, an engineer with the Hydro-Electricity Commission, said in 1958 when giving evidence to the Parliamentary Public Works Committee that the possibility of such an accident happening to a bridge of this nature was very great. [More…]
I have more figures here which give a comparison of the cost of building a bridge of the nature of the Tasman Bridge. [More…]
The cost comparisons of bridges of a similar nature, spanning a similar distance and of the suspension type are not all that much greater in other areas in the world, but of course one does not go into a shop and buy a bridge. [More…]
I would not have risen but for the fact that in paragraph 5 (b) of the Agreement language of a very meagre nature is used which might be seized upon later as being indicative of a lesser measure of restoration. [More…]
I said when I rose to support this Bill that I. was doing so with a great sense of shame, and it does not make me feel any better having to bring this next document to light in a debate of this nature, but I want the people responsible to know- I have not heard from them now for some time and if they still have a mailing list I hope that my name is not on it- just how disgusted I feel knowing that they are living in this wonderful country of Australia. [More…]
Senator McAuliffe, exercising common sense, asked whether it would be better to reconsider the decision because the Senate then knew the nature of the document. [More…]
I admit to feeling slightly ill when I receive documents of that nature. [More…]
I wish that people who regard my mail box here at Parliament House and also in my electorate office in Perth as a means of getting roneoed signatured letters to me, or even letters that are not signed, would contain themselves a little and perhaps think of me as a person who, in my capacity as a representative of the people of Western Australia and the people of Australia generally, is concerned with the manner in which all people can live in this country of ours. [More…]
Only nature could alford to play the genetic lottery on such a massive scale and with such huge losses and wind up with 3 billion people on this planet, each of whom is unique and different from every other one no matter what the person’s religion, race, colour, descent or national origin or sex. [More…]
The very nature of the problem demands that flexibility should exist and should be utilised by those charged with the responsibility. [More…]
A penalty of $5,000 is payable by publishers and distributors of material intending to promote hostility of a racially discriminatory nature. [More…]
I feel it is important to realise that much of what passes for racial conflict may actually be more cultural or economic in nature. [More…]
I was involved in a meeting in Hobart but was deliberately misled as to the nature of the meeting that was to take place. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of such communications? [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…]
To do so is to misinterpret their nature and purposes. [More…]
Other general principles, developed in conjunction with the Joint Committee of Public Accounts, are aimed at ensuring that, inter alia, the estimates should not make provision for proposals which are of such an uncertain nature that it is not possible to form any real estimate of what payments, if any, will be made. [More…]
The Supply Bills being by nature temporary funding media, the estimates on which they are based are prepared on a more arbitrary basis. [More…]
However, before I deal with that matter I wish to speak in general terms about the nature of postal and telecommunication services and the purposes which the Opposition would desire to see ascribed to them. [More…]
I am referring to matters which are purely of a commercial nature. [More…]
Our amendments are of a nature that will, I trust, prove, in the Government’s view, to be a constructive addition to the legislation which we are discussing. [More…]
The question of whose responsibility this new service is becomes one of whether the service is by nature a telephone or telegram service. [More…]
It can be done because of the nature of the offence and the previous good record of the person concerned and on humanitarian grounds. [More…]
I wish him to be reminded that legislation of this bulk and comprehensive nature has had a fairly smooth passage and if one, whilst doing other work, has one’s attention drawn to an obvious antiquated deficiency one is bound to raise it. [More…]
It seems to me that the very nature of a courier service and the by-laws relating to it would certainly want to provide for special obligations. [More…]
I would not know what the arrangements are, but I think it would be terribly important that there be programs of an informational nature to advise ethnic groups of the rights of migrants with regard to legal aid, Medibank and such matters. [More…]
What circumstances of urgency or a special nature can be advanced to show the reason for pre-payment of that amount before 6 August 1 974? [More…]
It has been widely predicted that Ministers will fight Ministers and we can expect from yesterday’s spectacle which continued on television programs last night that it will be of a most vicious nature as one Minister fights another for the retention and growth of his own programs, with the overall prospect of there being a cut, and a substantial cut, in the rate of growth of Government spending. [More…]
I understand that this is the first occasion- certainly it is the first occasion for many years, if not since Federation- that a debate of this nature has taken place and that the debate on the Supply Bills has been deferred pending further information about the Treasurer’s Advance. [More…]
It was surely the right of that Government to use the flexibility which is built into this system, and I do not think we ever precipitated a debate of this nature in order to try to screw the government of the day to account for every dollar it was going to spend under the Treasurer’s Advance account. [More…]
It seems to me that the section of the Overseas Telecommunications Act which is referred to in the amendment clearly indicates the restrictive nature of the OTC franchise, and that is to provide telecommunication services between Australia and overseas and not to maintain operations in Australia in competition with the internal services. [More…]
I do not accept the analogy between the drafting of a Bill of this nature and the speech of a senator. [More…]
I invite honourable senators to look at just one clause of the Billclause 17- to see the sweeping nature of this planned institution. [More…]
I would like to be charitable and say that the Government’s motives are of the highest nature, but I cannot. [More…]
Because it has been introduced so quickly the exact nature of that impact is still difficult to determine. [More…]
The most important aspect, I believe, in the operation of the Commission’s activities would be the recognition of the mixed nature of Australia’s transport system. [More…]
Not understanding the nature of the Bill they have resorted to their usual charade of nonsense and a tirade of abuse of the Government in its endeavours to implement the policies on which it was elected in 1972. [More…]
Surely, then, it is simply a question of the nature and the extent of the powers. [More…]
Surely it is acknowledged that there will be differences between 2 political parties with respect to what is considered proper as the nature and extent of the powers. [More…]
Imagine, in respect of a Bill of this nature,- the insult to the people of this country that is to be found in the idea that a new institution of this sort should be in its detail determined by that House of Parliament in half an hour. [More…]
It is not just a matter in this case of taking powers from the States by introducing a Commission of this nature. [More…]
This possibly was a curious area for a Senate Select Committee on Water Pollution to concern itself with, but it also pointed out that the nature of the Inter-State Commission provided for in the Constitution might be the type of independent body which could perform many of the functions in regard to the eradication of water pollution with which that Committee was concerned. [More…]
I had thought that one might have said in all justice and accuracy that the reverse had been the case- that the hysteria had come from another source and that there had been just a few sideswipes from the Government of an understandable and a very accurate nature. [More…]
Obviously the Commission, because of the limited nature of its constitutional powers, will not go as far as that. [More…]
In this regard, the Committee has noted the nature of the Inter-State Commission provided for in the Constitution, and believes that consideration might well be given to its re-formation with, if constitutionally possible, effective arbitral power, and in a form suitable for the resolution of these potential conflicts. [More…]
The facts were that if Australia required- it was seldom required, because of the nature of the base- to pass messages to Australian vessels, it always could do so. [More…]
This may have been brought about because the curricula in the schools in the States are developed by people who are of their own nature academics, people who have had academic training and who have been to university. [More…]
I hope that such a Centre would give full support to the development of new concepts in the training of these pupils and in the development of curricula for these pupils, so they will see some relation between the school and the world at large and they will be better equipped, I hope, to cope with the world at large when they leave; better equipped to cope with everything they come up against, from the blandishments of advertisers, I suppose, to the importuning of finance companies, to the duplicities of politicians and everyone else and even the perfidiousness of nature itself. [More…]
I think it would be a dangerous thing indeed if we were to find curriculum development dependent almost totally on the findings of somewhat ivorytowered conceptions, because the danger that confronts us is that many of the theories and attitudes that are produced so simply and so perfectly, closeted away in some study atmosphere, seem to fall down when they come out into the laboratory of the outside world and come into conflict with human nature and all the problems that human nature has for all sorts of theories. [More…]
I believe that the involvement of teachers in curriculum development is of importance because they, probably more than most people, can contribute to curriculum development a real knowledge of classroom atmosphere and of human nature, with which a curriculum has ultimately to come into contact and against which it ultimately will be judged as being successful or not. [More…]
In any event, the amendment appears to be based on a misconception of the role and nature of the Council. [More…]
In spite of the inclusive nature of paragraph (b) in that definition, there is some doubt in New South Wales as to whether the phrase ‘trade, technical or other skilled occupation’ in paragraph (a) adequately covers a wide range of occupations for which courses are provided in institutions of technical and further education. [More…]
He points out that at least one member from each State was appointed to the present interim committee- the Australian Committee on Technical and Further Education- at the time it was established, and in general it could be expected to be the aim in the future with the establishment of a commission of this nature. [More…]
We all know that in short Senator Hall’s amendment is related to the reference to the Court of Disputed Returns of the matter involving Senator Webster of the National Country Party of Australia and the decision of the Parliament to request the Government to establish a judicial committee to take into account matters of this nature. [More…]
I think that thought is worth bearing in mind when we are considering the passage of legislation of this nature. [More…]
It is not possible to solve the problems that relate to human nature by passing Acts of Parliament. [More…]
At this stage at least I am not aware of the precise nature of those amendments, but from the general tone of Senator Greenwood ‘s remarks it appeared, I fear, that Senator Greenwood ‘s attitude could be summed up thus: Senator Greenwood will support the Bill so long as it consists of nothing more than a series of pious platitudes and so long as all the teeth are drawn from it. [More…]
Reports are continually received, not in regard to restaurants but in regard to house-letting and other matters of that nature. [More…]
I think I pointed out to Senator Young when I replied to him on the matter of ethnic broadcasting stations that it was proposed that the stations would be of an experimental nature. [More…]
Both his visit and the visit by the 2 students are of a private nature and do not involve Australian Government sponsorship. [More…]
Some people say it is not of great significance; some people say it is of a minor nature and that it is forced out of all proportion by certain radical groups. [More…]
I question whether legislation and legal remedies effectively bring about reform of a moral or social nature. [More…]
I believe the honourable senators have expressed the views which the joint parties are holding in respect of this legislation and which can rightly be claimed as valid justification for a Bill of this nature. [More…]
I will now read in this context a statement which was made on the nature of race and racial differences by a group of scientists, composed of physical anthropologists and geneticists, convened by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation in June 1951. [More…]
While the Australian Government is, of course, prepared to consider cases in which servants of the illegal Smith regime wish to enter Australia for compassionate reasons, it is the Government’s view that Mr O’Donnell ‘s reasons for wishing to visit Australia were not of a compelling humanitarian nature. [More…]
For example, if somebody is engaged in a hazardous occupation, such as mining and quarrying or building and construction, as compared with a relatively unhazardous occupation, such as the retail trade or employing clerical workers, the more hazardous occupation may in fact be more socially necessary than the unhazardous occupation, but of its nature it is more dangerous. [More…]
I was saying that I thought there was a certain injustice in saying that people who are engaged in hazardous industries should be paying higher premium rates than those who are not engaged in hazardous industry if the work in which they are engaged is socially necessary and if the hazard arises not from their carelessness but from the nature of their work, such as building and construction. [More…]
Yesterday I had a very long and detailed discussion with him about matters relating to my Department and nothing of the nature suggested by the honourable senator was mentioned in those discussions. [More…]
The shortcomings listed by the Committee included the inflexible and fragmented nature of the present arrangements, the absence of regular reviews of principles and procedures, the need for research and training and the absence of proper consultation with industry. [More…]
I am surprised that the Special Minister of State did not include something of this nature in the Bill. [More…]
If one flies in the face of nature one goes against nature’s grand plan. [More…]

Clause 8 (Nature of Commission) [More…]
If government fulfilled its obligation to prevent exploitation, then perhaps that would be the closest we have yet reached to achieving some sort of satisfaction for human nature. [More…]
We have the somewhat legalistic nature of the conciliation and arbitration system which flows from that Federal structure. [More…]
I said that one of the complications facing trade union officials is the legalistic nature of the conciliation and arbitration system. [More…]
By the very nature of the students who will be attending an authority such as this, they will not be geared to the sorts of courses which universities or other institutions could provide. [More…]
I ask him to bear in mind the nature of the debate and to relate his remarks to the debate. [More…]
Later on we had the emergence of the Churchill Scholarships, the Duke of Edinburgh awards and grants of that nature. [More…]
Once the vote was secured, and the road to socialism lay open, the riot and the strike ceased to be the only weapons, and could be seen for what they were: methods socially destructive by their very nature, and therefore anti socialist. [More…]
Before I was interrupted I was speaking in support of the proposition to train men who, by the very nature of industry, when they are appointed as delegates, organisers or secretaries have no basic training, although they use their native wit and they do that successfully. [More…]
It is by its very nature a responsible organisation and should be accepted as such. [More…]
Whether or not criminal penalties are provided very substantial penalties of a financial nature would be involved in what is done. [More…]
It would be partially correct to say that the problems being experienced by that company are of an industrial nature, but that is not wholly correct. [More…]
Speaking off the cuff, I think about $ 1 lm is expended by the Government each year on advertising, and that takes into account the calling of applications for positions and things of that nature. [More…]
My departmental officers are now in the course of preparing for me Cabinet submissions which, if accepted by Cabinet, would mean that legislation amending the Broadcasting and Television Act would be brought into this Parliament to provide for public hearings in respect of all licences of this nature to be made the subject of supervision by the Australian Broadcasting Control Board. [More…]
a concise statement of the nature and grounds of the proceedings and of the charges, defences and counter-charges in support of which evidence has been given; [More…]
I have some sympathy with the thinking behind Senator Greenwood’s amendment but I would like to foreshadow that the Government proposes words which are in the nature of a compromise. [More…]
There always will be other factors of a long standing nature such as prejudice, misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge. [More…]
But we did not take those people to court and ask that they be imprisoned because of political discrimination or anything of that nature. [More…]
Clause 49 at present is a comprehensive provision under which a person may apply to the Attorney-General for provision of assistance in the nature of legal and financial assistance, but its purport has been greatly altered having regard to the amendments which have been made to clause 23 and clause 25. [More…]
I assume that from the cognate nature of this Bill and the 3 following Bills the Minister for Agriculture (Senator Wriedt) would want a general debate on all of them so I will proceed on the basis that we have 4 Bills before us. [More…]
Most of the amendments in the other 3 Bills are of a machinery nature and are designed to bring the Acts into conformity with Government policy. [More…]
The Bills are clear and are of a machinery nature. [More…]
While there is some long term and medium term research being undertaken with moneys provided for research into the pig industry, a lot of it is of a biochemical nature and is of a short term. [More…]
It appears that at least some of the administrative expenses of this promotion Committee will be met by funds collected from levies, and in this respect it may well be argued that the Australian Government could have seen fit to make some contribution, even if only of a token nature, under the amended Act. [More…]
Because of its specialised nature the query is referred to the State Reference Library which uses its own data terminal to gain direct access to the computer stored library material held by the National Library in Canberra. [More…]
I ask for a sense of the fitness of things in relation to personal statistics and statistics which can be described as being of a private nature. [More…]
I have no wish to prolong this debate at a time when we are trying to get through the work, but I was extremely impressed by the observations of my colleague, Senator Davidson, and by the moderate nature of the response by the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willesee). [More…]
I look ahead significantly to a government which is intrusive by philosophy and by nature. [More…]
It should be of a size and nature to be able to reflect and to argue the right to be different from other areas. [More…]

It is intended for operation by non-profit incorporated bodies to meet the specific needs of the local community, and recently an inquiry of a similar nature was conducted into applications for a licence for Campbelltown, New South Wales. [More…]
I since have not been able to find any letter of that nature. [More…]
They were undertaking studies of a peculiar nature in so far as the students were spending a day in business activities in the community for the purpose of fitting them to take their place in business society. [More…]
I have had a check made in my office and cannot find any record of any letter of that nature having been received so far. [More…]
But I am still having the matter checked and if I do find anything of that nature I will let the honourable senator know. [More…]
I mentioned earlier the administrative problems caused by the complex nature of the present superannuation arrangements. [More…]
This division will be authorised to undertake specific national interest insurance business of a non-commercial nature in specific fields such as crop and livestock insurance or in other fields which may develop during the progression of time which the industry might determine as non-commercial and seek Government assistance in solving the problem at that time. [More…]
It will attract overseas revenue which by the very nature of re-insurance and retrocession may well be passed to members of the local industry. [More…]
The setting up of the Australian Wool Corporation included new moves which allowed new ventures of a semi-socialistic nature into wool processing and manufacture. [More…]
He would know that that is a normal item in insurance, but he seems to dwell on disaster insurance, on insurance of an uneconomic nature. [More…]
If there is going to be insurance of an uneconomic nature there is no need for him to say that he must have the profits of legitimate insurance. [More…]
It is no accident that the Christian Democratic Party, which one could generally describe as being of a conservative nature, having its counterparts in the governments of Italy and many other parts of Europe, has now officially dissociated itself from the military junta and has called for the return of constitutional government in Chile. [More…]
It 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 Australiaboth Government and non-government, could work together to preserve and enhance it. [More…]
It was asked to view the National Estate as made up of such things as national parks, nature reserves, historic buildings and structures, buildings and structures of architectural merit, areas of special scientific interest, the coastline and inland waters, and urban parks. [More…]
Other grants initiated programs to acquire land for nature conservation purposes, to begin a basic set of studies including an ecological survey of Australia, a study of soil resources, a study of water quality and a project to set up a national air quality program. [More…]

We will work with all who want to protect those parts of our heritage that have been created by man or nature and are unique or are things of beauty. [More…]
I had hoped, forlornly and I know foolishly, in the first instance when this Bill came before the Senate that the amendments which I had drawn would at least be considered during the Committee stage and that we might consider putting into this Bill the provision for compulsory secret postal ballots for union decisions of this nature and giving a lead in relation to other types of decisions which are taken in other fields of union management. [More…]
There was a clause which stated that future enactments could give a right of appeal- a right of review- to this Tribunal, but it would depend upon the nature of those enactments to ascertain what was the substantive jurisdiction which the tribunal was to have. [More…]
The Bill, when analysed, is seen to create a new stream of rights for the benefit of the public, and I suggest that that stream will undoubtedly grow in the future both in its breadth and in the nature of the rights it contains. [More…]
He referred to a number of cases which are of a different nature, going beyond this provision. [More…]
One of the problems arising from the latter part of Senator Devitt’s question relates to the nature of the cover given by insurance policies. [More…]
The financial assistance proposed by this Bill is exceptional in nature to meet exceptional circumstances. [More…]
It may well be that in some legislation that has passed the Senate we have nodded at times when we should have observed something of this nature, but I suggest that in the form in which it is now proposed it will adequately cover the provisions of legal aid for persons who need it, and that what we should not do in this Bill is create what appears to be legislative form for a body which is not properly formed and which has not been scrutinised by this Parliament. [More…]
This amendment was referred to in the House of Representatives and it was curious that no reason was given for refusing it, except that this form had been used in some recent legislation, mostly relating to examples not of the nature of the duties that will be performed by the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, as Senator Greenwood said. [More…]
He is more likely to do that, having regard to his qualifications and the nature of the office he holds, than would be a Minister who might be tempted to take the course which would enable him to protect his interests or the interests of his department. [More…]
Where the Tribunal is satisfied that it is desirable to do so by reason of the confidential nature of any evidence or matter or for any other reason, the tribunal may, by order- [More…]
There are many cases where the nature of the injury which would or might be done to the nation or the Public Service is of so grave a character that no other interest, public or private, can be allowed to prevail over it. [More…]
We believe that if there is to be a certification which has the effect of withholding a document from the Tribunal, then it should not be the certification of a Minister who, no matter how well intentioned, may be motivated by self interest or by the interest of his Department, but the certification of the Attorney-General, who should apply the standard of objectivity which by training and by the nature of his office he is expected to apply. [More…]
Most of them have been of a quite minor nature. [More…]
At the same time we have given benefits to pensioners of a nature and of a real value that they have not experienced since the days of the Chifley Government. [More…]
It is certainly outside the constitutional power of the Federal Government to take any action of that nature unless there was some agreed quota arrangement with the State concerned. [More…]
I know that the Parliamentary Counsel has been heavily overworked due largely to the activist nature of the present Government which is ever eager to reform areas of Australian life which require reform. [More…]
The other amendments are of a minor nature or are merely consequential on those I have outlined. [More…]
I did not do the calculations, but I would think that the accuracy of them would be accepted because, in an exercise of that nature- I am sure Senator Cotton would be the first to agree- the officers responsible for making the calculations would do so with the utmost care. [More…]
One would expect it to be introduced in a scheme of this nature. [More…]
The functions of bodies like those mentioned do not substantially differ from those of the Grants Commission so far as concerns the nature of the responsibility committed to them and the manner in which their functions are carried out. [More…]
1 do so because I have had a great personal interest in matters of this nature for many years. [More…]
There is also, I think a grant for nature conservation this year totalling $9m. [More…]
Therefore the Opposition has circulated an amendment to the clause setting out the functions of the Commission which will impose on the Commission a duty to consider and report to the Minister on the circumstances in which compensation should be payable to persons affected by action to conserve the National Estate, the nature of the compensation and the method of determining the compensation; and, I might add, the means by which compensation can be paid. [More…]
All of these things are a recognition of the unique nature of this country, of its own identity, and of its growing maturity as a nation. [More…]
In relation to the Opposition’s proposed amendment, I give an undertaking from both Ministers involved with this Bill that they will at the earliest possible time introduce an amendment to the Bill in the terms of the amendment proposed to be moved by Senator Durack which sought to add the following paragraph to clause 6 of the Bill: to consider and report to the Minister on the circumstances in which compensation should be payable to persons affected by action to conserve the national estate, the nature of the compensation and the method of determining the compensation. [More…]

[More…]
We believe that the additional cost of contact lenses would be sufficient deterrent to over-utilisation of that service and that this in itself would be sufficient to protect the interests of the taxpayer as regards benefits of that nature. [More…]
There will, however, be no discrimination according to nature of illness, so that the treatment of mental illness in general hospitals will be automatically covered. [More…]
I am not in a position to say whether these documents are correct or what is the nature of them, nor do I consider that it is the Government’s business to find out about them or to authenticate every document which someone happens to come up with and which that person says concerns Government borrowings. [More…]
Details of expenditure of this nature have not been given in the following reply which lists significant payment for such matters as research, public relations and professional advice. [More…]
That the Government provide, for approved student residences and affiliated residential colleges of a collegiate nature, recurrent financial assistance as follows: [More…]

People would use the time in which the advertisements were shown to make a cup of tea, to make a phone call or something of this nature. [More…]
The financial assistance proposed by this Bill is exceptional in nature to meet exceptional circumstances. [More…]
We sincerely trust that this money will, when the company gets the opportunity to receive it from the Tasmanian Government, tide the company over the next 6 months and that during the 6 months period, as I indicated earlier, there will be an uplift in demand for paper, orders will start to increase, and we shall see once again the economic situation within Australia- not only within this companyreturning to some semblance of order so that we may be able to continue on in a developing country with the sorts of development that we need, not only in Burnie, Tasmania, but in every other town of a like nature within Australia. [More…]
So it is not to be wondered at that in these troubled economic time throughout the world a company of the size and nature of APPM finds itself in a position where its estimations of forward requirements for its stocks are not realised. [More…]
The financial assistance proposed by this Bill is exceptional in nature to meet exceptional circumstances. [More…]
I understand, but I can assure the honourable senator that there will be no further advances to this company, and I hope that there will be no further advances of this nature to any other company. [More…]
He gave us a curious little uninformed lecture about the nature of inflation. [More…]
Although we do not contemplate again making a payment of this nature to the company, if it becomes necessary at a given moment to afford the company some tariff protection, as recommended by the body set up to advise on tariff protection, this Government will not hesitate to take such action. [More…]
The Opposition does not intend to be deterred by threats or warnings of that nature. [More…]
These conflicts are presented in any event by the nature of the problem and they do not disappear simply by setting up one organisation. [More…]
Senate the other week; it was of a completely opposite nature. [More…]
I would accept the question raised by Senator Hall as being one more in the nature of a matter that should be part of this debate tonight. [More…]
The Tweed Shire Council has advised that the most recent plan for the development of the island proposes that about half remain in its natural state as a nature reserve, with the remainder of the island to be used for a number of purposes. [More…]
Whilst there is still an immense amount of work to be done by the Commission, nonetheless I am told it is satisfied that its inquiries will enable it to make recommendations of a very worthwhile nature to the Australian Government. [More…]
Does not the Government have an urgent duty to make clear to all financial circles throughout the world the true nature of this and other letters circulating and purporting to be mandates? [More…]
-I will say that any letter of a similar nature from any company claiming that it has a mandate from the Australian people to negotiate loans is incorrect in its contents. [More…]
Of course the Pentagon papers, as we all recall, established that the Government which was headed by Sir Robert Menzies- and which included as backbenchers or Ministers the following people who are still members of the Senate, Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, Senator Sir Magnus Cormack, Senator Drake-Brockman, Senator Marriott, Senator Sim, Senator Webster and Senator Wright- had lied consistently from 1962 onwards regarding the nature of Australia’s military involvement in Vietnam and of course the rationale, the excuse for sending troops in large numbers to Vietnam in May 1 965. [More…]
We have even had an interjection of a racial nature. [More…]
It now has to explain why it has indulged in this little episode and why it has gone along with Mr Lynch and his little tricks, because the nature of the debate has changed. [More…]
I remind honourable senators that the motion to debate a matter of urgency is not a motion of lack of confidence in the Government; it is not a motion of censure of any Minister of the Crown; it is not a request for a commission of inquiry or anything of that nature; it is a motion to debate a matter of urgency which has been moved by Senator .Cotton on behalf of the Liberal Party. [More…]
On the contrary, the moneys that support this industry are in the nature of loan moneys. [More…]
The first power that will be given to the Corporation is one of a regulatory nature. [More…]
Although legislation on this subject has been passed through this Parliament it is still a subject of consideration by the High Court of Australia and no decision has yet been made by the High Court which will clarify the nature of the powers of the respective parliaments of the Commonwealth and of Queensland. [More…]
The Great Barrier Reef Consultative Committee which is also provided for in this Bill must be viewed more importantly because appointments to the Consultative Committee will determine the nature of decisions made by the Authority. [More…]
I want to speak on this wonderful piece of nature as one who knows the Reef and who has been associated with it in its development from the tourist side and looking at it from other aspects for over 40 years. [More…]
One would think that the people of Queensland are a group of people who have not got very much regard for the beautiful things of nature. [More…]
It might be 100 acres or something of that nature in size. [More…]
The Reef is one of nature’s great creations. [More…]
But just as nature builds, so does nature destroy and rebuild. [More…]
Nature had destroyed it. [More…]
Nature builds; nature destroys; and nature rebuilds. [More…]
But once again, was it an act of nature? [More…]
We may not be doing something but nature is. [More…]
I feel that in the Great Barrier Reef we have possibly one of the very greatest of nature’s attractions. [More…]
But unlike other States which have national heritages which are part of the State and which lie within the State, the Great Barrier Reef is adjacent to the coast of Queensland and probably falls into a different category to other areas of this nature. [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…]
I must admit, however, that there could be circumstances of a very serious nature in which the Opposition might have a legitimate interest in reassembling the Senate. [More…]
When the Parliament was sitting they initiated nothing, although the nature and amount of the proposed loan had been public knowledge from the second week of February when the session began. [More…]
Equally, there has been much deliberate confusion about the nature of costs which might have been paid. [More…]
At no time was Parliament misled about the nature, size or source of our loan proposals. [More…]

If the answer to ( 1 ) is in the affirmative, when was the invitation extended and what was its nature. [More…]
At the threshold the question could arise as to whether the House should accept as conclusive the certificate of a Minister or should adopt a system similar to that now adopted in the Courts, namely that the House or committee, in relation to some classes of documents or evidence, not obviously privileged, should look at the documents or consider the nature of the evidence for the purpose of determining whether or not it is in the public interest that they bc produced or the evidence given. [More…]
Such papers belong to a class of documents that in my opinion are of a nature that ought not to be examined by the court except, it may be, in very special circumstances. [More…]
-Sir Lenox Hewitt indicated at the outset that he would answer questions of a formal nature, other than any other covered by the resolution of the Senate on which he would claim privilege. [More…]
The 2 questions immediately preceding that question I submit were questions purely of a formal nature, namely, the length of service that Sir Lenox Hewitt had had in Treasury and whether he knew the members of the Loan Council. [More…]
They being questions of a formal nature, I submit he was entitled to answer them. [More…]
In that paragraph in the paper by Senator Greenwood and Mr Ellicott there is a statement that some documents shall fall into a class which of their nature would be privileged. [More…]
I am sorry that we have to debate a motion of this nature- that we even have to respond to it. [More…]
When we were in Opposition we made certain demands of a similar nature and I believe that we were as guilty then of trying to undermine the integrity or the independence of the Public Service by so doing, but we live and learn. [More…]
It seems pretty clear that there is a fundamental illegality vouched for by these Ministers by using a false and fraudulent pretext as to the true nature of a 20-year loan to finance all the huge developments I have mentioned at the ultimate cost, not of the original principal of $4,000m but, as stated in the promissory note to the Zurich Bank, $ 19,000m which would be the total obligation for Australia. [More…]
That is an authoritative document and we all know of the authoritative nature of the man who was the first member of that committee. [More…]
Mr Karidis, could I ask you how you first became aware that funds of a substantial nature were available overseas, possibly for the Australian Government to borrow? [More…]
Without of course prying into the personal aspects of detail of that, could Mr Karidis tell the Senate what is the nature of his continuing personal relationships with Mr Khemlani in Adelaide? [More…]
I think the witness understands the nature of the question. [More…]
I think the only thing that I could say at the moment is that obviously there are going to be problems in the introduction of Medibank as there are in any substantial social change of this nature. [More…]
She was still active in Victoria, her home State, in a number of pursuits of a social nature which were beneficial to the people in the area in which she lived. [More…]
Has the Australian Government recently bought land in the States for nature conservation purposes? [More…]
A preliminary armoured corps exercise by South Australian units will take place shortly in order to assess whether it is practicable to plan on future operations of this nature. [More…]

Sir Maori said that his talks with the Ambassador had been of a courtesy nature, ‘just to say hullo to each other’. [More…]
I think that in anticipation of matters of this nature being raised this proposition probably was put on the basis that problems would be resolved by way of debate and not by way of question. [More…]
What is the nature of each interest acquired as a result of that expenditure and in what concern has it been acquired. [More…]
Obviously one hears of various instances which one probably could describe as an abuse, but there has been nothing of a substantial nature. [More…]
I would suggest that while the taxation measures which were announced in the Budget last night do not go to the extent of tax indexation which was desired by the unions, they do at least give relief to those on lower and middle incomes of a nature which is most likely to make wage indexation more acceptable. [More…]
I have given those undertakings to the veterans organisations and I do not anticipate that there will be any change in the basic or fundamental nature of the repatriation system as we now know it. [More…]
I ask: Were such instructions given by the Minister or officers administering the RED scheme, and what was the nature of such instructions? [More…]
It was not our function to draft a Bill but rather to outline the nature of the abuses, malpractices and improper practices which we found existed in relation to the operation of our securities markets. [More…]
It is a good example of the broad nature of the problems involved in regulating the securities industry and of the way in which such regulation involves all States and Territories and extends overseas. [More…]
At the end of 3 months the Senate can determine whether it wishes to proceed with writing into its Standing Orders a provision of this nature or any other proposal. [More…]
When one considers the mighty powerful nature of this Bill, the nature of the criticisms made in the recommendations of and the references to that Committee are significant. [More…]
This was indicated in paragraph 6.9 of the Committee’s report and is another reason why one should have care before entering into a commitment of this nature. [More…]
The reason that the breech blocks were not as effective as they should have been was that the Australian manufacturing involved by the Directorate of War Production was not of an order and nature of technology to be able to make a breech block up to the design requirements of the Australian Army. [More…]
It would be quite wrong in principle to allow a statutory body of this nature to be completely independent of the government of the day which is finally responsible to the Parliament for the Commission’s activities. [More…]

What is worrying me- it has been perfectly clear from the nature of the debate that has gone on here over the past 3 weeks- is that the Labor Party has no capacity to act as an Opposition and to raise in the great national forum the fundamental issues that are posed for the nation and the debates that can be very properly instigated in regard to them.

In our conversations I indicated that I considered myself, as Chief Justice of Australia, free, on your Excellency’s request, to offer you legal advice as to Your Excellency’s constitutional rights and duties in relation to an existing situation which, of its nature, was unlikely to come before the court.

But when the device was first used, as I recollect in 1 953, 1 do not think any honourable senator then sitting in his place nor in the years that have passed since then, could ever have contemplated that the Senate would be presented with a situation of enormous deficits of the nature that this Government has produced through its own misgovernment. [More…]
The Government was making this alleged saving on such items as not granting to the Australian Industry Development Corporation money which the Corporation was not going to spend in any case and a bit more financial chicanery of that nature. [More…]

The honourable senator is aware of the development and expansion of the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, which has attracted commendatory comments from international observers, and again is an ongoing concern of great merit. [More…]

Because of the nature of the program the February 1976 closing date meant that the counselling and appraisal of applications could not begin until first term 1976 and consequently it would be well into the school year before grants could be offered. [More…]

[More…]
In a completely competitive market, the remission of a charge of this nature is tantamount to an export subsidy. [More…]

[More…]
I express concern about that because of the nature of this statement. [More…]

A number of speakers in this debate talked of the nature of universities and colleges and wondered how we would ensure that they kept their distinctive qualities or moved towards a quality of excellence. [More…]

[More…]
shall, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Foundation. [More…]
This is the nature of the application of the Phosphate Fertilizers Bounty Amendment Bill. [More…]
No doubt dissenting Commissioner Robinson’s view that the generalised nature of the bounty makes it an inequitable and ineffective means of tackling the urgent and varied problems faced by many rural producers will prevail when the final report is handed to the Government. [More…]
It is extraordinary that this legislation should be opposed when one looks at its real nature. [More…]
It is not in their nature to seek handouts. [More…]
I am certainly not suggesting that bounties and handouts are part of the nature or part of the need in the long term of primary production industries. [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…]

[More…]
He simply said that the Government was entitled to know and to have the information before it as evidence of the inequitable nature of the distribution of the superphosphate bounty. [More…]

The inattention of Senator Button to this Senate and to the answer I gave is evidenced by the nature of his question. [More…]
As long as I have been in the Parliament it has been customary, I think, that whenever Bills of this nature come before the Parliament we have a very long debate on the 2 airlines policy. [More…]

I close on the note that, although we support this legislation- we believe it is important that we continue to support two of the most successful enterprises, government or private, that we have seen in this country through the whole of its historywe do look with great concern at statements which have been made and which are indicated by spokesmen for this Government which would suggest that at some time in the future not only enterprises of this nature but others as well may suffer. [More…]
Lest anyone should be looking for the tardy people, I should point out that the very nature of what the Newnham College of Advanced Education is to be in Launceston, and therefore its qualifications and capacity to function alongside the Maritime College, rests not with the Federal Government but with Mr Batt, the Labor Minister for Education in Tasmania, and his Government. [More…]
Is it true that decisions made by social security appeal tribunals are merely of a recommendatory nature and are passed on to the Director-General of Social Security as recommendations only; that the Director-General alone has the final say on all appeals for the whole of Australia, and that he is refusing a large percentage of the appeals that have been made?

To me this is a decision of a piffling nature on a matter which from a financial point of view has no consequence to this nation. [More…]
Numerous reports were coming into the Labor Government, and they are still coming in, suggesting the nature of possible reforms, but the Labor Government knew that the first priority in 2 short terms of government was to increase the income level of beneficiaries to something near a reasonable sum compared with parameters such as the average weekly earnings and the consumer price index figures. [More…]
During the Committee stage of the Social Services Amendment Bill I may wish to intervene and speak on particular clauses, but at this stage I commend the general thrust of the legislation and emphasise the generous nature of the legislation in making available to pensioners much more than they have at the present time.

[More…]
-A number of hypotheses are involved in the honourable senator’s question and because his question is of a hypothetical nature I cannot give him an exact answer. [More…]
The unsatisfactory nature of uniform taxation has been recognised for a long time. [More…]
One particularly objectionable feature of a proposition to restore significant income taxing powers to the States which has not yet been brought out in any of the debates on this proposition is the scandalously undemocratic nature of every State Parliament in Australia with the exception of that of Tasmania- even there, of course, the Upper House is scandalously undemocratic- and that of South Australia. [More…]
Pursuant to section 11 of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 I 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…]

The generally accepted practice when a vacancy of this nature occurs is for the new Senator to be of the same political Party as his predecessor. [More…]
As you know, the accepted practice when a casual vacancy of this nature occurs is for the new Senator to be of the same political party as his predecessor and I have asked the Queensland Division of the Liberal Party of Australia to advise me, as quickly as possible, of the name of the person they wish to nominate on this particular occasion. [More…]
In supporting the Bill, I oppose and remain puzzled, to say the least, by the nature of the amendment moved by the Opposition. [More…]

[More…]
Very briefly, the situation was this: One section of the Polish community- people who included the Polonia Soccer Club and another cultural group- contend that any releases of a sporting nature were being denied presentation on this particular program. [More…]
The Polish Sport Organisations, represented above, are of the unanimous opinion that extremists of this nature are not responsible people, and therefore quite incapable of controlling an Ethnic radio program. [More…]
We were not given any notice of any intention to hold it; there has not been a single complaint either verbally or in writing against you; the meeting seems to have been under a misapprehension about the nature and purpose of ethnic radio. [More…]
We are satisfied that there was an agreement or direction as to the nature of the charges to be laid and as to the contents of the facesheets but we do not believe that we have been told the full story regarding either. [More…]

It has led to a system under which the truly local nature of the State governments themselves has been reduced. [More…]
If the States enter into long term relationships with the Commonwealth of the sort that the States have with the Commonwealth at this time, it would be inevitable that well meaning Commonwealth governments would gradually take to themselves more and more control, more and more of the decision-making, and require more and more administration to enable them to perform those functions and, in the end, the whole nature of local government would be destroyed. [More…]
The figures exclude those companies which, because of the nature of their operations, either do not come within the jurisdiction of the Act or are exempt from its notification provisions. [More…]
In view of public concern over the inquiry into broadcasting and television in Australia, will the Minister stir his colleague in the other place to give answers to the questions I asked on notice 3 weeks ago about the nature of the inquiry? [More…]

If not, what provision will be made for the share of the State apportioned by the Commonwealth Grants Commission to be reviewed in the event of a happening of that nature? [More…]
Do I take it that a happening of that nature would be a matter relating to a grant of assistance made to a State, under section 96 of the Constitution, for local government purposes, and that such a matter would be referred to the Commission by the Minister under proposed new section 17(1) (b)? [More…]
The experience that we had with the former Government in office was quite alarming to honourable senators on this side of the Senate because of the way in which that Government rushed Bills of a centralist nature into the Parliament. [More…]
The nature and shape of that institute will have a very significant effect indeed upon the shape of the maritime college. [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…]

It is from a book entitled Design With Nature by Ian McHarg. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite should tell the constituents or voters of this country- the people who formerly supported them, the small majority in terms of percentage which voted for them on 13December 1975- the nature of these cuts. [More…]
Again, that may not strike honourable senators from interstate as such a terrible thing because Canberra has a reputation for having very good schools and good school buildings, but given the nature of the growth of Canberra, the absence of new schools in many cases means the absence of any schools. [More…]

1 ) The Australian Coal Association sent to me a copy of its submission to the Treasurer, in which, using calculations for two hypothetical projects, it is argued that new high quality coking coal projects would be no more than marginal propositions largely owing to the coal export duty and the nature of existing depreciation allowances. [More…]
I thought it was more in the nature of a speech than a question. [More…]
The oversight under the drug use reference is to be continued and, initially, the extent and nature of the problem is to be examined further. [More…]
I was in the chamber when Senator Lajovic made his first speech to the House and although I did not agree with a lot of what he said I was very impressed by the thoughtful nature in which he made his speech and the ideas he put up. [More…]
That is an unwarranted assumption and it is one that could be based only on total ignorance of the nature of the trade union movement. [More…]
I want to explain that this does not mean that any person whose sole income is a pension or a benefit of that nature will be taxed on that benefit, but rather we have decided that no longer can these benefits be regarded as exempt income for taxation purposes. [More…]

The wine and brandy industry has been successful in coming to terms with nature- and this is evident to a large degree- through improved technology, practical experience and an inborn, long-suffering quality devised by evolution. [More…]
The charity that the public sector hands out is something of a permanent nature and makes people more dependent on government, whereas charity that is handed out by the private sector is more temporary and more dignified than any government charity. [More…]
From those 3 areas we find a total and wholly incidental and windfall saving, if one can use that term, of $248 m. It is completely dishonest for the Government to assert that its alleged economic management is responsible for savings such as those which are of a coincidental or incidental nature. [More…]
Well, to help the Minister, perhaps I could have on the record what I am seeking: I want to know the nature of the work; the total cost of the work; who authorised the work; the date of authorisation; the date of commencement; the expected date of completion; and the number of persons engaged on the site. [More…]

-I wish to make some remarks of a similar nature, but I also wish to ask two or three questions concerning this division. [More…]
To declare subsequently that assistance is to be provided for an additional 500 000 bushels in conjunction with the States only illustrates the ad hoc nature of this Government’s policies. [More…]
Even before the Labor Party took office in 1972, steps were taken by the previous Government, as Senator Wright well knows, by the then Minister for Primary Industry, who recognised the declining nature of that industry, not only in Tasmania but essentially there. [More…]
In view of mounting public concern regarding the highly intimate nature of answers required to certain questions alleged to be contained in the forthcoming census form, will the Minister arrange to have a pro forma of this document tabled in both Houses of the Parliament to permit honourable senators and members from both sides of the respective Houses to thoroughly examine the nature and the full extent of the questions asked and the information sought therein? [More…]

The Papua New Guinea (Staffing Assistance) Termination Bill 1976, which is now before the Senate, 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 amendments to the legislation for this purpose are of a machinery nature. [More…]
Doctors play a key role in determining overall costs because it is largely they who make the decisions to put patients into hospital, the length of stay, the need for and nature of operations or other courses of treatment. [More…]

As well as the opting out clause the levy, by its nature, forces people out of Medibank on economic grounds. [More…]
But even with both these conditions fulfilled the Government has destroyed the universal nature of Medibank. [More…]
The problems I mentioned about overuse, the costly use of the fee-for-service method of charging and so forth could be overcome by procedural reforms to the Medibank system as it stands rather than by undermining and changing the whole system or by interfering with the universality and automatic nature of the coverage and the relatively low cost of the coverage. [More…]
It was a continuing committee in the nature of committees which do serve Government. [More…]
I do not think anyone would argue this point because, despite the universal nature of Medibank, a very high proportion of people, as I mentioned earlier, did choose to have some additional private insurance cover. [More…]
Indeed, in relation to all of the legislation which has been introduced with regard to the Medibank proposals, I know that the Minister for Health would welcome close consultation with individuals, with professions and with all of those people who may have representations to make when the full effect and understanding of the complex nature of the legislation is known by the community. [More…]
We believe that what has been done is to spread the cost as fairly as can be achieved and that this action has given protection to those who are unable to sustain their own burden of cost and to provide the nature of care which they require. [More…]

The Australian Film Commission is, by its very nature, subject to commercial criteria. [More…]

The reason why we oppose them is simply that we feel that it is an incorrect approach to industrial relations to have the Government intervene in proceedings to which it is not a party-that is to say employers and employees in an industry are each placed in a position where they understand the particular nature of the industrial dispute that they may be engaged in and they understand the nature of the industry and all the circumstances that relate to it. [More…]
There is a very great reality of which politicians, by the nature of their profession, should be acutely aware. [More…]
He is subject to these pressures because of the nature of the industry in which he works and so on. [More…]
I have read the judgments of Dunphy and Joske JJ., and agreed with them that the five-year term of office provided for by the rules ofthe Australian Workers Union for holders of elective offices in the union is not unreasonable having regard for the nature ofthe union, its size, the many callings and industries it covers, its widespread geographical coverage, the great numbers of awards it obtains and administers, its complex and extensive administrative problems, the duties of its elected officials and the control over them by members as provided by the rules. [More…]
It is obvious enough that the term of office could be fixed for such a long period of time that the representative nature of the office is effectively destroyed. [More…]
A five-year term of office, looking at the matter broadly, does not of its own nature appear to me to be oppressive, unreasonable or unjust, and I can readily believe that in the situation in which registered organisations find themselves in this country, operating under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act and being involved in an elaborate system of compulsory arbitration, some such organisations might well regard a five-year term of office as most advantageous if strong-minded, constructive, useful and responsible work is to be done by its elected officers. [More…]

Whilst this legislation is largely machinery in nature it does provide the required guidelines for accounting procedures to be applied to the Australian Wool Corporation. [More…]

We recognise the fundamental nature of the primary industry as part of our total economic scene. [More…]
But in the evolution of time rural producers are coming to see the need for government promotional activity and government support schemes of a nature which will provide stability in the rural productions. [More…]
The 5 tax Bills are machinery in nature and deal with the tax on the sale of wool in order to continue the contribution by the producers to the market support fund. [More…]
I think this indicates the short term nature and the paucity of the funds being appropriated. [More…]
I would suggest that, on future occasions when legislation of this nature comes before the Parliament, the responsible Minister might go into greater detail in setting out the areas of responsibility for the State and in setting out the areas of responsibility of the Australian Government to ensure that, when money is granted to the States in this respect or when financial assistance is provided in any way, the States carry out the job for which those grants are being made.

The honourable senator should know that this Government, in common with previous governments, will receive the reports of the commissions, including the Schools Commission, will discuss the reports on merit at Cabinet level and will make substantive decisions as to the nature of the reports, what shall be adopted and what, if anything, shall be amended or rejected. [More…]
Mr President, there would be a no more appropriate time for the Senate to be debating an urgency motion of this nature. [More…]

[More…]
Subdivision 1 deals with salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
The opportunity has also been taken to make some minor amendments of a formal or technical nature in keeping with current drafting practice. [More…]
Having made those remarks may I say that, generally speaking, I do not demur from the statement of the Senate Standing Committee except to say that in the circumstances under which the Parliament, and particularly the Senate, was operating last September it was virtually impossible for the Government to get any legislation of that nature accepted by the Opposition which, by its stealth - [More…]
An issue raised by the honourable senator is the nature of the arrangements involving the employer and the student, including the question of incentives. [More…]

He then said it was his opinion that the situation was of such an order and nature that he was under the pressure of the majesty, if you like to put it that way, or the vast resources of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia and there was nothing else for him to do but to get out. [More…]
I wanted just to indicate the broad nature of the amendment. [More…]
To give the Industrial Court jurisdiction to make declaratory judgments and issue prerogative writs in the nature of prohibition, certiorari and mandamus in matters arising under the Act ( clause 1 5 ) [More…]
an order by way of, or in the nature of, prohibition, certiorari or mandamus, or both such a declaration and such an order, and the Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine the proceeding. [More…]
The Senate will appreciate that the court that has that jurisdiction in the main is the Industrial Court, although the jurisdiction does reside in other courts; but the Industrial Court does not have any power to make a declaration or to issue orders in the nature of prohibition, certiorari or mandamus, all of which are important remedies for a court to have available to it if it is called upon to interpret an Act, such as the Trade Practices Act, and to oversee actions taken under it particularly, of course, by the Trade Practices Commission. [More…]
Some officers have been used on various activities, such as research projects, fellowship awards and other jobs of that nature. [More…]

I would hope that having discarded so clearly the socialist experiment of the last 3 years- a socialist experiment which, judged on any grounds at all, has proved to be a significant failure- we will by co-operation be prepared to set about the task now, using and implementing the legislation, the processes and the program of this Budget, of realising and achieving the enormous potential of this country- an enormous potential to secure affluence for its people; an enormous potential to make this country one of the really great trading countries of the world, and an enormous potential to make this nation of a nature and character whereby it can be a leader amongst the developing countries in its own region and beyond.

It is obvious that involved were people who must have had the authorisation of senior Commonwealth public servants or, as I would think in a commando raid of this nature, a Minister. [More…]

Has the attention of the Minister been drawn to an advertisement in this week’s National Times by persons claiming that the appointment of Sir Henry Bland as Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission is political in nature, based on allegations that he has affiliations with the Liberal Party? [More…]
Can he provide any details of the extent and nature of the proposed development? [More…]
In the past, with rising incomes, particularly in the wage earning sector of the community, the interaction of inflation and a progressive income tax scale had the effect of increasing the effective tax rates, of diverting an increased amount of the national income to the government as tax revenue and of changing arbitrarily the nature of the tax burden.

[More…]
Those cuts led to programs being taken off the air or the production of programs being discontinued- programs like Bellbird, Rush and other programs of a current affairs nature- which have resulted in cut backs of the staff of the ABC. [More…]

Our concern, and we acknowledge it, is with the open-ended nature of the previous arrangements and, while Senator Grimes may say that no hospital would embark on expenditure simply to find matching expenditure from the Commonwealth Government, I believe that if the test of efficiency were applied, some heads of agreement would need to provide for the recognition of approved costs before we would be able to have the cost sharing arrangement which is the basis of the agreement with the States. [More…]
It is naturally a major step for the Government or the Opposition to reject a Tribunal finding of this nature. [More…]

Among the factors involved in considering the future of a mail service are the number of people served, the extent of other commodities carried, the amount of mail carried on each trip, the extent and nature of the route, and the cost to Australia Post of operating the service. [More…]
Is he able to tell the Senate whether Ministers of the New South Wales Labor Government have expressed their own views of a federalist nature, favouring, for example, the rights of States in a devolutionary model as against the centralist, socialist model beloved by Mr Whitlam and the Federal Australian Labor Party? [More…]
It is well to remind the Senate in a bipartisan fashion that a substantial number of the recommendations made in that report have been adopted and have shaped the nature of post secondary education today. [More…]
However, because of the intermittent nature of their operations and with the increasing complexity of government administration, particularly during the past few years, the Committees have not been able to fully and effectively scrutinise proposed expenditures. [More…]
For some other rivers, the bureau provides a reduced service of a similar quantitative nature whilst for the rest, it issues general warnings to the effect that minor, moderate, or major flooding as the case may be will occur. [More…]
In view of the nature of the change from the existing means test to the new income test, the existing provision applying to eligibility of Service pensioners for fringe benefits will no longer be appropriate. [More…]
That is the nature of the game. [More…]
As Mr Justice Else Mitchell has suggested, local government, because of its very nature and character, is the only arm of goverment that is able to improve the local environment. [More…]
The role of the Minister for Local Government, because of the nature of the local Government Act- [More…]
It can through public dialogue indicate the nature of things that it proposes for investigation. [More…]
During the few days of freedom, the popular nature of the uprising was proved by the appearance of a free press and radio and by general rejoicing among the people; [More…]
It is true that colleges have high standards of distinctive education, but equally, by its nature, the college is directed primarily to vocation and vocational training rather than to other matters. [More…]
However, because of the interbedded nature and the variable dip, no attempt was made to estimate reserves in the absence of sub-surface information. [More…]
When information of this nature is revealed in relation to estimates, surely that information should be searched out. [More…]
Some of that controversy and agrument has arisen from the very nature of this field of activity. [More…]
The honourable senator will know that one of the difficulties of the past in apprenticeship has been the changing nature of many undertakings and particularly the tendency to sub-contracting in the construction industry which makes the previous discipline of apprenticeship more difficult to achieve. [More…]
I am not aware, as I said earlier, of the status or the nature of the report at this stage. [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…]
The information sought by the honourable senator is of such amount and of such a diverse nature that it would need to be assembled from a number of sources- principally from the records of the States of Queensland and Western Australia and from those of the Northern Territory. [More…]
In view of the nature of the duties performed by these officers the Minister does not believe it appropriate to provide their names and official designations. [More…]
I have no knowledge of films being withdrawn, destroyed or anything of that nature. [More…]
Because of the nature of Tasmania, being an island State with transport problems and having small markets and all the other difficulties that all island states in the world have, it has, in my experience during the 16 years I have lived in Tasmania, always had a higher than average unemployment rate in this country. [More…]
The events of last year were of such a nature that finally the great club which has been in existence for 74 or 75 years had to be taken out, and the Senate had to use this weapon in order to bring sanity into the control of money in this country. [More…]
There are matters of a general nature in that report which make it difficult for one to deal with if we proceed along the lines you have suggested, Mr Temporary Chairman, that is, to relate our remarks for the time being only to matters covered in divisions 130 to 161. [More…]
It is a collection which, because of its very nature both as an artistic collection and as a collection of war materials, is increasing in value every day. [More…]
He pointed out, quite rightly, that it is very difficult to estimate the current value of a collection of that nature, but he said that he thought it would be reasonable to suggest that Australia’s national collection for the National Gallery, which is currently under construction, is probably worth in the vicinity of $30m to $40m. [More…]
It will be available whatever the total value of the estate or the nature of the assets included in it. [More…]
Necessary provisions are made as to the nature of the judgment that may be made on appeal and as to the manner in which, in a divided court, a question is to be decided. [More…]
Article 1 sets out the nature of matter in which appeals are to lie to the High Court and is careful to allow appeals as of right against the specified classes of decisions of the Supreme Court when acting in its original jurisdiction. [More…]
What is the nature of facilities provided to retired Prime Ministers. [More…]
I made it clear that my request is for that inquiry to come forward with a report of a practical nature not consisting of mere verbiage alone. [More…]
Mr Chairman, I think I have trespassed on your good nature for too long. [More…]
I refer to division 101- Senate, item 1- Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salary. [More…]
At the request of the Committee concerned, then departments could be called when necessary to explain the nature of their expenditures on a continuing basis. [More…]
It relates to sub-division 1 -Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salary, item 01- Salaries and allowances, under division 305. [More…]
An exception from this requirement was permitted in relation to those offices of a part-time nature on an organisation’s federal committee of management where the rules of the organisation provided, before the commencement of the amendment, a form of election other than by direct vote. [More…]
Offices, the duties of which are full time in nature, may be elected by direct vote of the appropriate section of the rank and file. [More…]
In relation to offices, the duties of which are not full time in nature, the position whereby organisations may adopt a direct election, onetier or a multiple-tier system of collegiate election, for example, a system whereby the conference or council which is elected by direct vote may elect from its members another body which then elects from its members the part time officers, will be restored. [More…]
Of course it is essential that the nature or composition of the college be truly representative of the membership. [More…]
The provisions of the Act in section 140 (1) (c)- that the rules of an organisation may not impose conditions which are oppressive, unreasonable or unjust- and the associated regulation 1 1 5 will continue to provide the basis for members to enforce the representative nature of any such electoral college as may exist or become established. [More…]
I refer to division 334, Northern Territory Hospitals, and to subdivision 1- Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salary. [More…]
I wonder whether it is not time that we in the Parliament exercised our right and our prerogative to make sure that when we know something of this nature occurs we use this adjournment debate more regularly to bring to the attention of the people of Australia through the media- the proceedings of the adjournment debate are not broadcast and we have to rely on the media to report us correctly- what is happening. [More…]
That the Senate appoint a select committee to inquire into and report upon the following: The circumstances surrounding the operations of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Company Limited and its associated companies and in particular the nature of assistance from the Commonwealth Government which is both practical and warranted and will alleviate the social and economic dislocation of the Queenstown area of Tasmania. [More…]
I hope to make an announcement in the near future of a more general nature regarding holiday projects. [More…]
So post-secondary would be inclusive of tertiary education but would include also institutions such as technical colleges, community colleges or colleges of that nature which do not necessarily require a matriculation pass for entry to the college. [More…]
Implicit in the proposition that Senator Rae is to put tomorrow is his suggestion that we should do certain things- in particular, we should determine the nature of assistance from the Commonwealth Government which is both practical and warranted and which will alleviate the social and economic dislocations of the Queenstown area of Tasmania. [More…]
The advances and appropriation authority provided in clauses 1 1 and 12 respectively are of a machinery nature similar to those in other legislation providing for financial assistance to the States. [More…]
The precise nature of these arrangements is currently subject to further report by Commonwealth and State officers and consideration by governments. [More…]
In this debate on Thursday night I was referring to division 334, Northern Territory Hospitals, and to subdivision 1- Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salary. [More…]
The new agreements will provide for the establishment of State standing committees- an innovation aimed at putting the lid on the open-ended nature of the previous cost-sharing arrangements. [More…]
Nature Heritage, and whereas the island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations. [More…]
I am unaware of the nature of the conversation between Mr Justice Fox and the Prime Minister yesterday. [More…]
1 ) That a select Committee be appointed to inquire into and report upon the circumstances surrounding the operations of the Mt Lyell Mining and Railway Co. Ltd and its associated companies and, in particular, the nature of any assistance from the Commonwealth Government which is both practical and warranted and which will alleviate the social and economic dislocation of the Queenstown area of Tasmania. [More…]
On this occasion we believe it is warranted in view of the nature of the inquiry. [More…]
I refer now to division 459 which relates to Northern Territory Police and in particular to subdivision 1 dealing with salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
It is not suggested, I think, that This Day Tonight, for example, should be eliminated or that Four Corners should be eliminated or anything of that nature. [More…]
The choice of a sun screen preparation depends on a large number of factors, including the nature of a person’s skin, whether it is fair or dark; the effect desired, whether total protection or a tanning is required; and the likely exposure, wherever the individual is. [More…]
The consultation which has taken place between the Commonwealth and the State governments and Territories has been of a continuing nature as the program of the former Government has been implemented in the earlier part of this year. [More…]
Senator Scott spoke of the need for flexibility and of the complex nature of the trade union movement in Australia. [More…]
Secondly, we are dealing with an amendment to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act which proposes to alter the definition of ‘Office’ as has been requested by some unions- certainly not the unions with which I am associated- particularly those in industries which are seasonal in nature and in which organisers or collectors have to be appointed from time to time, depending on the seasonal basis, and in which those appointments then have to be terminated from time to time. [More…]
I think it was fully justified for some of the honourable senators speaking in this debate to speak generally about the nature and the role of the trade union movement. [More…]
I felt that Senator Ryan misunderstood the nature of the collegiate system because she seemed to think that it was undemocratic and contradictory to the Government’s policy of requiring postal ballots which it introduced into this legislation earlier this year. [More…]
So I think it must be clear now even to those Labor senators who seem determined to misunderstand or misrepresent the nature of this Bill which seeks to amend the Conciliation and Arbitration Act that this Bill simply provides an alternative democratic method of electing the leadership of trade unions. [More…]
That would be the appropriate course and I would hope at this stage that as a result of that reference a recommendation or suggestion would come from the Committee so that we can adopt a procedure in future on the tabling of documents, particularly of this nature, to ensure that the Senate itselfnobody else- authorises any alterations which it might be proposed should be made. [More…]
The statements in the newspaper article were of a general nature and by a former employee who had left the service some years ago. [More…]
May 1970 is a landmark in Commonwealth Government policies for the protection of Australia’s unique fauna and flora; it set the pattern and provided guidelines for much of the future legislation for nature conservation in Australia. [More…]
In 1974 the Parliament legislated to make it possible for the Commonwealth to provide financial assistance to the States for purposes connected with nature conservation. [More…]
This Act makes provision for the Minister to agree with an appropriate Minister of a State upon programs of land acquisition for nature conservation and for payments of financial assistance to be made to the States in accordance with the approved programs. [More…]
This extension of the Commonwealth’s role in nature conservation, from land acquisition to management activities, is in response to a general view expressed among the States that the acquisition of land in itself is only the first step towards creating secure areas where flora and fauna can be protected and preserved. [More…]
An equally important activity is the management of these areas and this has led the Government to decide on an amendment to the Act so that the States can be given flexibility within an overall program of financial assistance for nature conservation, to determine in consultation with the Commonwealth where the priority needs lie, in the particular circumstances of their own State responsibilities. [More…]
Appropriations are made for conservation programs involving the National Estate, nature conservation and grants to the voluntary conservation bodies such as the National Trusts and Environment Centres. [More…]
In addition, the Bill provides for recurrent grants on a formula basis to assist in meeting the administrative costs of student residences and affiliated residential colleges providing accommodation of a collegiate nature. [More…]
This geographical distribution is intended to reflect the nature of the Court as an itinerant court, that will go on circuit and sit in each State and Territory as required. [More…]
Clauses 39 to 58 of the Bill deal with matters of a machinery nature. [More…]
The wartime objective of survival, following the ‘whatever may be ‘ philosophy, is different indeed from the objective in peacetime which is, in a democracy, to implement legislation which takes account of human nature. [More…]
It was assumed, quite wrongly, that a planned economy, which is planned in a more or less laboratory type atmosphere, would still work in a peacetime circumstance where it has to contend in a free country with human nature itself. [More…]
In a matter of this nature I think the meaning ought to be more clearly spelt out so that each State government can be quite clear about the type of person who is deemed to have the necessary experience, as the Minister now says, or has the necessary qualifications to be included on the body as the local government representative. [More…]
Senator Missen, as a very distinguished person in the legal profession, would know that in legal documents such as Bills of this nature one does not assume anything, because they are open to challenge. [More…]
I think this was due basically to the nature of the situation in Western Australia. [More…]
The shock of deprivation can be partly counteracted by identifying and conserving buildings and whole areas of special quality as landmarks for our cultural past, present and future, and urban parklands, foreshores, coastlines, forests and other areas near cities, which will keep at least some opportunity for man’s nexus with nature. [More…]
In response the Minister mentioned that once a decision had been made not to have diplomatic representation in a particular country it was difficult under those circumstances to send anyone to cover trials of this nature. [More…]
Secondly, the all embracing nature of the words furthered or encouraged the regime’ could be used to exclude most of the white population. [More…]
My recollection is that the intention is first to invite the public to comment on the nature of the standards. [More…]
I ask: When will this Government make available a similar number of career opportunities in peaceful pursuits, especially as the Minister for Defence has difficulty in finding opportunities for equality of employment in his Department because of the combatant nature of much of that employment? [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…]
The Australian Education Council, after a series of surveys and reports, alerted the Australian community to the national nature of education problems. [More…]
I think perhaps the starting point in a debate of this nature is to look at the position of education when our Government assumed office after the December 1975 elections. [More…]
This involves not merely increasing understanding of the nature of change. [More…]
In my view, all contributions were of a worthwhile nature. [More…]
It is a direct manoeuvre to cover up the real nature of the continuing war and, as such, the decision must be and will be condemned by public opinion not only in Australia but also in many other countries. [More…]
What is the nature of the review to which the [More…]
The high degree of interdependence of the productive enterprises in our economy makes it very difficult to estimate the nature and extent of losses to industry as a whole as a result of strikes. [More…]
-I have no objection to apologising for my ill temper and bad nature. [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 is also, I think, a grant for nature conservation this year totalling $9m. [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…]
I shall indicate briefly the nature of the proceedings that have been instituted in the United States. [More…]
The matter which ought to be raised immediately is that legislation of this nature ought not to be brought into the Parliament in these circumstances. [More…]
It should be a matter of concern to all of us that legislation of this nature is being brought in at such short notice. [More…]
The last time a Bill of this nature was introduced was on 18 March 1970. [More…]
I will quote some statements that were made then by learned people concerning the weaknesses that can eventuate when Bills of this nature are introduced in such circumstances. [More…]
This is in the nature of an emergency and I do not think that any obstacle should be placed in the path of the Government. [More…]
Those honourable senators who are lawyers should be the first ones to say that legislation of this nature should be properly considered. [More…]
It is not a matter of politics intruding here so much as the very nature of legal proceedings on which the Attorney-General might be expected to act. [More…]
The patient’s cover under Standard Medibank is not affected by the nature of these arrangements. [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 and expectations of major changes at long intervals in the rate; will permit the use of the exchange rate as appropriate as a more flexible arm of policy; and will require little or no institutional changes. [More…]
There are to be considered factors such as world prices particularly and our capacity to earn overseas income which are of an international nature. [More…]
It is just rubbish that a document of this nature can put down that sort of factually incorrect information. [More…]
Of course those factors are very significant in the gradual nature of the down turn during the Labor Party’s term of office. [More…]
It is not the nature of people of our political philosophy, of our particular economic theories, to enter needlessly into massive borrowings because massive borrowings must leave only an immense burden to the communities, the societies that follow us. [More…]
This is appropriate to the changing nature of the world economy and to Australia’s international trade relationships. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that it has been government policy for many years to extend assistance of this nature to the 2 major domestic airlines with a view to enabling them to obtain the funds required to purchase new aircraft and related spares and equipment. [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…]
It also confers certain powers of a general nature to facilitate the operation of other Acts. [More…]
It is also proposed to make a number of other amendments which are of a drafting nature only and do not affect the operation of the present Act. [More…]
Whilst I am not retreating one jot from the idea of the central activity coming from here, I do believe that some of the resistance that the States had to this matterthey also had it to the Nature Conservation Act and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, as Senator Carrick knows- has been broken down. [More…]
It has been indicated by the meeting of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers that the States do not all go along the one way. [More…]
Can we have an assurance to counteract the fears of Frith that if everything is made perfect nature is destroyed and we do not have these recurring water levels. [More…]
In that conservative Budget of 1972-73 a total of $243.9m was allocated for housing to the States, and that figure included $ 166.9m allocated by the States for housing under the Loan Council borrowing programs for housing projects similar in nature to those under the 1973 Housing Agreement. [More…]
By their nature, not all of the recommendations are applicable to developed countries such as Australia. [More…]
The government of the day does not intervene in any way in the nature of programs or to suggest what might be broadcast or telecast or what might be cut. [More…]
They are of a very technical nature and they will of necessity take time to resolve. [More…]
It goes to emphasise the importance of Committee deliberations on a Bill of this nature where the civil liberties of Australian citizens can well be in the balance. [More…]
I suggest, as my colleague Senator Cavanagh suggested in referring to another provision, that if a provision of that nature were written into a regulation the Regulations and Ordinances Committee of this Senate would not agree to it. [More…]
I understoodalthough I was not sure- that a provision of a like nature had existed in the Customs Act for some time. [More…]
In view of the complexity of taxation laws this is not surprising and no doubt amendments of this nature will be required while people have the skill and the determination to turn features of the tax laws to their advantage. [More…]
However, the Government is anxious to sell the federalism policy and it will be quite unable to do so until many of the doubts surrounding the nature of that policy and the effects it will create have been removed. [More…]
This Bill illustrates the dangers involved in piece-meal changes to important taxation laws and, with respect to the Government, illustrates that the nature of those changes will need careful consideration. [More…]
We in the Opposition wish to ensure that if wholesale amendments to existing legislation are required those amendments must be carried out carefully and in such a way as not to mislead people who are affected by the nature of the provisions. [More…]
However, in conclusion, as I do not wish to dwell at length on the Bill because of the fact that the particular areas can be identified- I hope I have identified them for the Minister- I point out that the Opposition will not be satisfied if the changes that are being introduced by what may be termed as corner-cutting methods and which appear to be used in the drafting of the Bill currently before the Senate are to be the policy to be adopted by the Government in matters of this nature. [More…]
I put it to the Senate that there are circumstances in which it could well be that payments which are in the nature of capital- for instance, payments for know-how or perhaps even payments which are in a lump sum for secret formulas that have been purchased from overseaswould not be deductible from the income of companies and taxpayers in Australia but which payments would be subject to the deduction of tax at the rates set out in the Act as they went overseas from Australia. [More…]
The original form of the tax was in the nature of the royalty payment made to the States. [More…]
Could the Minister indicate who the 10 people are supposed to represent, how people who are interested will indicate their availability, and matters of that nature? [More…]
Will the Minister ensure that grants of this nature are applied strictly for the purposes for which they are made? [More…]
I preface my question to the Minister for Education by remarking that I have noticed that some post-secondary educational institutions in Brisbane are competing for students by offering courses of a similar nature. [More…]
Investments and developments of the same nature and terms have occurred in Western Australia in the iron ore developments in the Pilbara. [More…]
As the Minister for Industry and Commerce (Senator Cotton) has said, the value of the spouse’s interest to a maximum of $50,000 will be excluded from liability for duty irrespective of the total value of the estate or the nature of the assets included in it. [More…]
This will provide greater flexibility because under this legislation exemption from duty applies irrespective of the nature of the assets included in the estate whereas previously the matrimonial home exemption was restrictive. [More…]
Surely we are entitled to say to the Government that it has had a year in which to look at the nature of the problem and to accept the IAC recommendations, or amend them or reject them; but certainly it should come up with a plan for some stability m this important industry. [More…]
The Industries Assistance Commission has recommended the setting up of area redevelopment authorities in apple and pear growing regions of the south-west of Western Australia, southern Tasmania and the Stanthorpe region of Queensland, and that feasibility studies be carried out to determine the nature and extent of these authorities. [More…]
The Commission stresses the integrated nature of its recommendations on concessional finance, adjustment counselling and Area Redevelopment Authorities. [More…]
The Commission considers that the extent and diversity of such adjustment, together with the integrated nature of the region, is sufficient to warrant the establishment of the ARA for the Riverland. [More…]
-The Senate is now debating the Defence Service Homes Amendment Bill, which, in the words of the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs (Senator Durack) in his second reading speech, has as its prime purpose the reconstitution of the Australian Housing Corporation in accordance with the Government’s announced policy to change its name, nature and function so that its sole responsibility will be the administration of the Defence Service Homes Scheme. [More…]
The nature of the scheme is such that it is required to be conducted by a corporation, for obvious legal reasons. [More…]
Senator Coleman has misconceived the nature of the defence service homes scheme. [More…]
The Labor Party consistently has held the view that the rural producer most requiring assistance and support does not receive such assistance and support with across-the-board subsidies of this nature. [More…]
By way of preface I refer to a rather stereotyped Press release that followed the meeting of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
My advice is that consideration was given at the recent meeting of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers to the whole range of ecological surveys, including the survey of wetlands, and that the Council accepted the need to continue detailed studies of the relationships between the characteristics of the wetlands and the biota. [More…]
I emphasise, Mr President, 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…]
In commenting on the nature of population throughout Australia, the Grants Commission had this to say: [More…]
By evolutionary processes nature conservation has become a political issue. [More…]
The Minister referred this morning to the role of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers in this regard. [More…]
Earliest original comment upon the nature of the inland streams was made by John Oxley in 1817 concerning his journey down the Lachlan River in winter (28 April- 1 August) the river apparently being on the rise while the back swamps on the lower river had been undergoing a slow fall for at least eighteen months. [More…]
In fact, of the 5 States that now have an ombudsman or a person in an office of such a nature, 2 States- South Australia and Queensland- have appointed them under a Parliamentary Commissioner Act and the other 3 States have appointed them under an Ombudsman Act. [More…]
In this chamber we would receive fewer representations of this nature from constituents, except perhaps for the senators from the Territories, than do members of the House of Representatives who have much closer contact with their constituents than the majority of honourable senators do. [More…]
The nature of the intrusion into the life of the ordinary man by Canberra and local government is such that all sorts of positions are created that greatly affect the lives of the average, common man. [More…]
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…]
Thirdly, does the Prime Minister’s refusal to consider any tariff cuts of a substantial nature indicate that the Government has neither the intention nor the capability to take any long-term decisions in relation to manufacturing industry? [More…]
What will be the nature of the base’s installations and the range of its functions? [More…]
This Act provides for a rather wider range of controls than the surface waters legislation because by their nature underground water resources are much more liable to permanent damage or destruction by ignorant or selfinterested mismanagement. [More…]
It is important that transport have a very strong voice in the economic management of a country of the size and nature of Australia. [More…]
Australia’s nature and topography, I suggest that that applies much more so in Australia. [More…]
I emphasise, Mr President, that the precise nature and functions of these bodies need to be flexible . [More…]
There are some other minor amendments of a consequential nature arising from the Long Service Leave (Commonwealth Employees) BUI. [More…]
We have 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- a fundamental provision missing in the Labor Government’s Bill. [More…]
In an attempt to overcome the wide range of possibilities of abusing the scheme the Government is forcing through this legislation, which is of an extremely complex nature. [More…]
The Bill contains convoluted definitions of persons who are eligible for this scheme, of the conditions under which the grants are payable, of the nature of land and buildings the purchase of which attracts the grant and of the nature of the savings which will make an applicant eligible. [More…]
There is no question that Mr Justice Fox and his colleagues have given the Parliament an excellent report; but there have been many reports of a similar nature in different countries before. [More…]
I do not wish to quote them all -there is simply not time- but he emphasised the dangers of radiation at all stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, the nature of plutonium and the possibility of its creating diseases in human beings, the general problem of waste and the associated difficulties that go with it. [More…]
Qantas staffing arrangements were routine for flights of this nature. [More…]
In the main, however, a measure of tolerance and some compromise were discernible as is the nature of Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conferences. [More…]
As leader of the delegation and as branch General Councillor, I also attended meetings of the General Council, and in this regard I am happy to report that Australian proposals for the reorganisation of the managing and governing bodies of the Association, reflecting the changing nature of the Commonwealth and economic circumstances, have been well considered and decisions should be made at the next conference in Canada in 1977. [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…]
The provisions of the Bill are basically in line with other loan raising laws although there are some differences because of the particular nature of the deposits. [More…]
The major difficulties were seen as devising a mechanism for declaring inalienable Aboriginal land, the nature of the title to be granted, and determination of the traditional owners and the boundaries of their area. [More…]
I will outline briefly the nature of that concern. [More…]
Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that the Government recognises the recreational, educational and environmental value to the Canberra community and to the National Capital of the bushland of the Mount Ainslie, Mount Majura area of which the foothills form a vital and integral part and that the Government takes measures to ensure that there is no residential, commercial, roadway or other urban infrastructural development beyond that which already exists on these foothills and that the Government takes measures to ensure the preservation of this area as a nature reserve for the benefit of the present and future generations. [More…]
It is one that relates to a controversy that rages widely throughout the world, firstly, as to the very nature of what one would regard as amateurism and true and genuine striving in sport and, secondly, as to the validity of the use of drugs or additives to improve the performance of athletes. [More…]
The Commonwealth Government has expressed it views at various times regarding the nature of the takeovers in the other States. [More…]
I refer to the article in today’s Australian Financial Review on the ambiguous nature of the discretion of the Director-General of the Department of Social Security in refusing or allowing the unemployment benefit to be paid to school leavers. [More…]
It is pleasing to note that the Committee’s recommendations endorse the Government’s stated policy on recognising and encouraging the multi-cultural nature of the Australian community. [More…]
In presenting this progress report to the Senate, I want to comment on the nature of the inquiry and to draw attention to some interesting aspects that have been noted by the Committee in the evidence it has reviewed so far. [More…]
Aboriginals are one with nature, with all the animals the land supports. [More…]
The traditional Aboriginal’s way of life gave him an understanding and love of nature for which we may envy him but which we may rarely, if ever, possess ourselves. [More…]
We have defined the nature of Aboriginal land rights we are recognising by vesting title in trusts for the benefit of all those Aboriginals with traditional land rights to use and occupy the land in question. [More…]
The amendment is of a technical nature and will make it clear that any authorisation allowing mineral exploration in the form of either the former authority to prospect and the current exploration licence will be treated in a similar manner. [More…]
-I would like to say a few words on this clause and the 3 amendments to it which have been circulated by Senator Keeffe and which are designed fundamentally to change the nature of the Bill and to translate it into something substantially different from what is contemplated at the moment. [More…]

I have had lengthy discussions with him about proposals that the Association has to extend the role which optometrists can play in the delivery of services to repatriation beneficiaries provided by my Department I also have visited the School of Optometry in the University of New South Wales and discussed the nature of the services that are provided and the expertise of optometrists. [More…]
As the Minister’s initial reason for withdrawing this grant was that 2 Italian agencies were receiving grants, until it was pointed out that she was making grants to 2 single parent organisations, and as her second explanation some weeks later centred on the proximity of the NOW Centre rendering unnecessary the service provided by FILEF, will the Minister take note of the letter from the NOW Centre objecting to her reasoning, her lack of knowledge of the NOW Centre’s operations and its statement that it would appreciate being consulted before she makes further misleading statements of this nature? [More…]
It is a fact that there has been in the Northern Territory since 1955 an ordinance in the nature of subordinate legislation which relates to the protection of sacred sites- the Native and Historical Objects Preservation Ordinance- and it is generally acknowledged that that ordinance is defective. [More…]
Other environmental problems, particularly those relating to soil nutrients, wildlife preservation and conservation of genetic characteristics, are less well understood, and require further research to identify their true nature and magnitude. [More…]

[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…]
Having described briefly the nature of the problems that the new income tax stock valuation adjustment are designed to resolve, I turn now to the adjustments themselves. [More…]
Until further legislation is introduced in 1977, the legislation contained in this Bill is transitional in nature and transfers the present responsibilities of the Board to either the Tribunal or the Department. [More…]
Honourable senators may recall that at the time the Tariff Proposals were introduced in another place a comprehensive summary in respect of each Proposal was circulated to Senators setting out the nature of the changes in duty rates and the origin of each change. [More…]
I think that there would be agreement on both sides of the chamber that this would be a reasonable sort of thing for a committee of this nature to look at. [More…]
I am absolutely amazed that a reasonable amendment of this nature should be rejected out of hand. [More…]
In view of the pressing nature of legislation this afternoon I know that nobody would want me or anybody else to speak at length on this or any other legislation. [More…]
The dairy farmers are an extremely efficient, hardworking group of people who, despite everything that nature and society can throw at them, can still produce. [More…]
So, it is pleasing to see a Bill of this nature so that we can focus some attention on the position. [More…]
-The Senate is debating cognately 3 Bills, two of which are more or less of a consequential nature. [More…]
I am sorry that members of the Government Parties had to behave in this revolting manner in order to draw the attention of certain Ministers in this Government to the fact that a significant section of the Liberal Party, in spite of things which have gone on in the past year or so, does perhaps understand the nature of a pluralist society, does perhaps understand that Australia is such a pluralist society whether they like it or not, and does perhaps understand the role of a national broadcasting service in a society of that kind. [More…]
I say that that is very important because I regard it as important that this country should be governed by a Prime Minister and a government which understands the nature of a democratic pluralist society. [More…]
To illustrate the proposition which I have just put- that Government Ministers and the Prime Minister do not understand the nature of a pluralist society- let me go back to 10 March this year when the Prime Minister, in a remark which I suppose was meant to be smart, said: ‘The media will have to become the de facto Opposition in Australia’. [More…]
In addition to the establishment of the Tribunal there is a proposal for the establishment of a broadcasting council- a council to represent views, but of course it will not be given powers to determine or to dictate the nature of the industry. [More…]
It would not really break my heart if the axe fell on some programs of that nature. [More…]
I hope that the statement this Bill is transitional in nature is not just an alibi and that the Government will get around to spelling out the details which will give flesh to this skeleton. [More…]
I hope that when the further and better particulars that we are supposed to get to make up for the transitional nature of this legislation come down that they will be thoroughly debated in this place and that everybody- and I do not mean only the people on our side of politics; I also mean people on the conservative side of politics- will be vigilant to ensure that the inroads which the Philistines of the coalition- by that I mean the Nixons and the people like him who really want all the media to be captive- to ensure that there will be vigilance on all sides of politics so that the electronic media at least do not become the captives of the people who already own the printed media. [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 which has been made. [More…]
Much of the criticism failed to understand the changed nature of the regime. [More…]
As soon as the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal is established its primary job will be to set up a major public inquiry into standards so that in the place of an amorphous stipulation of adequate and comprehensive programs it will be possible for the community to transmit to the tribunal its ideas as to what standards there ought to be in terms of hours or in terms of the quality and the comprehensive and adequate nature of programs generally. [More…]
However, the provision has not been included in the Bill because it is felt that the Tribunal may prepare some reports which are of a confidential nature and therefore should not be available for publication. [More…]
That seems to us to represent a misconception of the nature of public broadcasting. [More…]
Secondly, it sets up a council which is essentially advisory in nature. [More…]
It would appear that nothing has happened to bring about any substantial change in the nature of the industry or in creating conditions of stability. [More…]
That seems to be a little insincere because really it does not take into consideration the nature of the problem for the apple and pear growers in the Huon district in Tasmania, or those at Stanthorpe in Queensland or at Manjimup in Western Australia. [More…]
The nature of the assistance is a loan to a maximum of $5,000. [More…]
It is at least equally important for farmers to be informed adequately of the realities of the industries in which they are placed as it is to provide funds under legislation of this nature. [More…]
I was seeking details of the nature of facilities provided to retired Prime Ministers, the names of the retired Prime Ministers, the total cost of each Prime Minister for the past 5 years and so on. [More…]
I suggest that whenever projects of this nature are announced in the future, dates should be shown alongside the listed projects, together with all of the details so that others do not have to go to all the trouble that I have had to go to. [More…]
The reason the Opposition is supporting the IED scheme in general principle, although we have some misgivings about the precise nature of this legislation, is that the Australian Labor Party in its updating of its rural policy decided to support this as a very desirable amendment to the existing taxation system. [More…]
Schemes of this nature are to be applauded as they are directed to alleviating the tax burden falling on persons for no other reason than that they have large fluctuating incomes. [More…]
I am not suggesting that the IAC is necessarily correct in all of its conclusions or recommendations, but I think that when it does make recommendations in matters of this nature, the Government should indicate why it sets them aside. [More…]

[More…]
It is in accordance with usual practice that the nature of communications which may or may not have passed between governments should be treated as confidential. [More…]

What information as to the nature of the research to be undertaken and the qualification of the applicants was required from all applicants. [More…]
As far as the industrial relations bureau is concerned, the Minister whom I represent has already announced the decision of the Government in principle to establish the bureau and has referred to the employment and industrial relations policy on which the Government was elected in 1975, which set out in some detail the nature of the industrial relations bureau. [More…]
Admittedly, I think that the amendment which he so made and which was reported to the Senate concerned a typographical error or an error of that nature. [More…]
The word and’ instead of the word ‘an’ was inserted, or something of that nature. [More…]
Some of them are of a purely drafting or machinery nature and are set out principally in Schedule 5. [More…]
However, because of the confidential nature of the relationship between the CES and its clients I am not able to disclose the actual figures involved. [More…]
What was the nature of the research for which each grant was made in all years. [More…]
What information as to the nature of the research to be undertaken and the qualifications of the applicants was required to be supplied by the applicants. [More…]
While it is true that the workload arising from small arms manufacture has been fluctuating downwards, it has gradually been replaced by other suitable defence demands, usually of a more immediate nature, and by non-defence work. [More…]
I am able to indicate to the Senate that considerable work is being done with those people who are convinced that an institute of this nature would be of assistance to those who suffer from mental retardation. [More…]
I assure Senator Chaney and honourable Senators on the Government side that the Australian Labor Party has no opposition to an urgency motion of that nature. [More…]
If Senator Chaney ‘s argument is right about the structural nature of the Labor Party, I invite him to consider that the State Liberal Government is in exactly the same position in respect of a Federal Liberal Government. [More…]

The greatest chances of conflagration of a major nature will come because of disputes between super powers. [More…]
Low level attacks raise the problem of defending ourselves against smugglers and against terrorists of whatever nature; of defending not only our sea lanes but also those seas in which we fish; of defending ourselves and our coastline against disease and the movement of people and animals which have no right to move on to the Australian mainland; and of defending ourselves against other obvious forms of low level attack. [More…]
Events of that nature are not of Australia’s making and we cannot expect to influence their outcome without prejudicing our relations with one or other of the disputants or with others. [More…]
It was probably as an Army chaplain or in some capacity of that nature. [More…]
We are in a situation where we keep debating whether we have so many minesweepers or so many destroyers and so on without looking at the fundamental question of the nature of Australian society, its defence capacity and the unity of the Australian people. [More…]
-The nature and size of juvenile or youth unemployment in Australia is a matter of concern for us all. [More…]
I want to establish the true election nature of Senator Walsh’s question. [More…]
-I take it that the Opposition does not believe there ought to be an opportunity at a Premiers Conference for the 6 Premiers and the Prime Minister to discuss matters of Federal- State relationships and to reach conclusions as to the nature of the body which administers the relativities and the terms of reference applicable to those relativities. [More…]
But the figure fails to reveal the true nature of the unemployment problem. [More…]
It warrants debates of this nature and it warrants the Government being shown to be the incompetent government that it is. [More…]
This merely illustrates that not only did the Government not know anything about the true nature of our economy but also it was making bold, brash promises which it had no chance of fulfilling. [More…]
The figures that I have just cited make quite clear the difference in the nature of the problem between the United States and Australia. [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…]
We had to bear in mind the scattered nature of the communities with which we were associated and the scattered nature of education facilities in a country as large as Australia. [More…]

to a defence standards laboratory outside Ingham revealed that there were certain articles of clothing that were to be used as protection in biological warfare situations, although there was no test of a biological nature. [More…]
Had we as a Labor Government when we were in power contemplated putting legislation of this nature on to the statute book of this country- I am speaking hypothetically, because we would not have done so- I am certain that the then Opposition, having the numbers that it had, would have ensured that a provision of accountability was written into the legislation. [More…]
To my mind that is unacceptable because of the nature of the appointment. [More…]
But I have always been somewhat wary of the centralising of the bureaucracy- of the building up in Canberra of a massive organisation which, by its very nature, turns in upon itself, being concerned with its own interests and its own existence, and which neglects the programs, policies and Acts of Parliament which it is the Public Service’s duty to carry into effect for the benefit of the people of Australia. [More…]
I also do not believe that the Bill which is before us, which seeks to make appointments outside the Public Service of a continuing nature but to limit those appointments, is good legislation. [More…]
How much more important is it to take this kind of action when Bills are brought in to change the Constitution and to change radically the nature of this House than it is with something such as the Trade Practices Bill? [More…]
They are people who have views on the nature of the parliamentary institution which I and the Opposition do not believe are consistent with the continued existence of parliamentary government in this country. [More…]
Pending the outcome of this consideration, I can give no undertaking that additional funds will be made available for further studies of this nature. [More…]

We believe that for a government to bring in legislation of this nature, to provide for elections at large, without writing into the legislation the rules under which an election at large shall be conducted, is wrong. [More…]
It is a matter that was brought to my attention by my colleague Senator Austin Lewis, who has not made his maiden speech but who is quite a respected expert insofar as regional organisation is concerned and who has been concerned for many years with elections affecting large electorates of this nature. [More…]
Agreed payments in the nature of royalties are made direct to the Groote Eylandt Trust by the mining company operating at Groote Eylandt. [More…]
When we realise what I have just pointed out and undertsand that there is not another mention of the word ‘elections’ in the Bill, I still feel strongly that we who in 1975 castigated legislation of a similar nature to this Bill as being of a misleading nature and calculated to deceive were right. [More…]
I think that in a debate of this nature it is important for us to get the fundamental principles clear at the outset. [More…]
It would be an interesting experience for the younger honourable senators sitting in their places today if in a few years ‘ time- the nature of man being what it is, this possibility exists- a gross disagreement amongst the parties occurred in the House of Representatives. [More…]
The opposing cases, as I see it, are that on one hand this Bill is being presented as a convenient adjustment of the mechanics of the election provisions of the Constitution; on the other, it is being opposed in my case on the grounds that enactment of this legislation would result in a substantial and radical change in the nature of the Senate and in the distribution of political power in Australia in a way which I believe would be to the long term detriment of this country. [More…]
It is argued that, because those parties have risen to such pre-eminence and because they have overwhelmingly been the basis of representation in the Senate, somehow or other the States nature of the Senate has been lost. [More…]
Senator Chaney has emphasised and other honourable senators have mentioned the representative nature of that Convention. [More…]
On 1 January 1977 the Federal Government commenced the transfer of powers of State-like nature to the Northern Territory. [More…]
As the New South Wales Government has withdrawn its challenge to the validity of the action of the Whitlam Government in acquiring Towra Point for nature conservation purposes, will the Australian Government use its own National Parks and Wildlife Service personnel to manage this region or will it utilise the similar facilities operated by the New South Wales Government? [More…]
The threat of course would be heavily underlined if there were developments in Camden, Campbelltown or areas of that nature. [More…]
In general, all sewage treatment, effluent treatment and matters of that nature are State matters and therefore must be primarily the responsibility of the Wran Government. [More…]
This is a statement of fact as to the true nature of the Bill. [More…]
My question is directed to the Minister representing the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, and I apologise for its long and detailed nature. [More…]
In that question I adverted to the fact that the Minister had answered questions of a Dorothy Dix nature from his colleagues on his side of the Senate relating to the fact that 38 per cent of people who are currently unemployed had apparently left their jobs voluntarily. [More…]
I repeat: The inquiry is essentially to produce evidence as to whether student loans, in whatever nature, would be useful as additions to allowances and not replacements of allowances. [More…]
I do not pretend to foreshadow what the nature of the review will be. [More…]
The report states that the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation has completed its feasibility study report for a national wetlands survey and that the report is being examined by the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers which deals with funding. [More…]
Are reductions of a similar nature contemplated at any other capital city airport? [More…]
When we have that report, we will consider loans in relation to student aid in Australia in their true nature. [More…]
I assure the honourable senator that the busy nature of the program in the last Vh weeks of this Parliament did not come within a mile of the events that took place in this Parliament in October and November 1975. [More…]
I have taken Senator Webster’s remarks to be more of a political nature than a personal nature - [More…]
I would have thought that the Labor Party would have had enough of using his statements of an academic nature, and of twisting them to try to find some solution to the economic problems which they have and which are not obviously solutions which will be necessary for the Australian economy. [More…]
I have not been able to verify that; nor do I know the exact nature of the association in which they meet. [More…]
Can the Minister indicate what steps the AttorneyGeneral can take to prohibit the sale and distribution of scurrilous publications of this nature? [More…]
The Government has indicated, both in its election policies and subsequently in its Budget decisions, that it supports student allowance schemes of the nature of the Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme and others, and that, unlike the Opposition, it supports those schemes with a realisation of the need for the allowances to be increased in view of increases in the cost of living in times of inflation. [More…]
Pursuant to section 1 1 of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 I 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…]
The instantaneous nature of the media enables people to make a day-to-day appreciation of the actions of their government. [More…]
But after that time, whether the States continue to operate the scheme or a scheme of a similar nature will be a matter of a great deal of importance. [More…]
A further problem is created because of the non liquid nature of the assets involved and this, as well as other reasons, drives young people away from the land, and with them go the compounded knowledge of generations. [More…]
Did the Minister note that the academic stated that transplants of this nature would be effective, particularly using foetuses aborted by a possible mini-labour method, since the foetus could be delivered in completely sterile conditions and only just alive’? [More…]
Once again, I do not particularly disagree with the view put forward by Senator Cavanagh, namely, that if a work of this nature is to be printed by order of the Senate then quite clearly honourable senators who are called upon to vote on such a motion ought to have the opportunity to inspect the document if they believe that it has political content. [More…]
That there be incorporated in the Standing Orders a provision, similar to Standing Order 2 1 9, to provide that no correction shall be made to a document ordered to be printed unless they are of a verbal or formal nature. [More…]
I do not know what is meant by ‘formal nature’ in altering a document. [More…]
A clerical error is an error in figures of a similar nature. [More…]
The formal nature of what we are considering covers matters such as slight changes in punctuation, in paragraphs and things of that sort which go to the form of the document and not to its content. [More…]
In one case we are authorising an amendment where it is merely an amendment of a formal or verbal nature. [More…]
and also material of an improper nature or material which is irrelevant. [More…]
Where matter is incorporated in Hansard by” leave of the Senate, it shall be on the understanding that the final decison as to the practicability of incorporating material such as graphs, maps, blocks, etc., and incorporating material of an improper nature or which is irrelevant, shall be made by the President. [More…]
Much has been said this afternoon about certain matter which may or may not be considered to be of an improper or irrelevant nature. [More…]
I was told that they were of an absolutely impossible nature as they could not be printed in a document -8 inches in length and 6 inches in width. [More…]
There is a real need for the incorporation in Hansard of documents of that nature because there is no possible chance of reading twenty or thirty documents in the limited time that is available for debate. [More…]
Firstly the Standing Orders Committee considered the matter at great length and agreed that guidelines of this nature should be proposed to the Senate. [More…]
Now that this committee is proposed I hope the Senate as a whole will adopt the view that it be established and then a reference of the nature recommended by a Senate Estimates Committee can be moved. [More…]
I think it is high time that the Senate and maybe the Government or some committee or authority within the Senate had a very close look at the nature of the references which go to standing committees. [More…]
So I think we need to look very carefully at the nature of the references, give them limitations and provide an earlier reporting date. [More…]
Frankly, I regard the Minister’s decision at this stage, prima facie, as being of a quite scandalous nature. [More…]
It relates to a field in which I am interested and refers to the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974. [More…]
It is sick because of the nature of the industry itself and because of the changes taking place in the world around it. [More…]
What it seems to do is ignore the real issues and ignore the nature of unemployment as it now is and some of the very important changed social consequences in Australia. [More…]
I think we should face up to the fact that unemployment, for reasons such as that and because of its current structural nature, will be a very long term problem with frightening social consequences. [More…]
It is a very sobering thought, when one considers how dependent Australians are on their personal transport and how dependent we are on trade with other countries, that we are about the business of forcing our people to buy some of the most expensive cars in the world and to cut off trade of a very great nature with other countries. [More…]
These last 2 weeks in the Senate have been weeks of a very challenging nature. [More…]
I say challenging nature’ because Queen Elizabeth, the Queen of Australia, in her twenty-fifth year, her jubilee year, saw fit to come here last Tuesday week and open Parliament. [More…]
It was the beginning of the transfer of federal powers of a State-like nature to the people of the Northern Territory. [More…]
The honourable senator asks whether the CSIRO has in mind that it should be involved in other work of this nature. [More…]

Mr President, I draw your attention to the fact that some of the advice which is sometimes given by public servants is in the nature of what they call compromise or middle course advice. [More…]
In the whole of that period of 25 years she has not been the object of any controversy, suspicion, gossip or anything of that nature. [More…]

In recent times we have made many efforts to understand and to trade with Japan to the best of our capacity and in such a measure that we will see a proper reciprocal nature in that trade. [More…]
Fifteen months after coming to office the Minister introduced this foreign policy statement with which, because of its vague and general nature, we on this side of the chamber do not find much to disagree. [More…]

What are the nature of the projects? [More…]
The Council of Nature Conservation Ministers, meeting on 12 November last, considered a wide range of surveys, including a survey of wetlands. [More…]

The formation of a committee of this nature will be of great assistance to the Minister for Education. [More…]
What the Dunstan Government has done in South Australia illustrates the real nature of gerrymander. [More…]

[More…]
I can well see that with a referendum proposal which would change the nature of the appointment of judges from a period of life to a set term there would naturally be some reaction and some desire not to appoint at this stage too many judges under the system which presently prevails. [More…]
The cases in the Supplementary List, because of the very urgency and the nature of the cases, are all difficult custody cases and virtually no settlements are effected from that list, and as a consequence the number of cases being heard on that list in any month averages 10 per Judge. [More…]
Only minimal work is now being done in the Magistrates Courts and in any event that work is of an interlocutory nature. [More…]
The nature and amount of advertising are controlled by the present authority as they were controlled in the past. [More…]
This principle should be applied to the payment of all grants of this nature made by departments and other Government instrumentalities. [More…]
What the Dunstan Government has done in South Austrlia illustrates the real nature of gerrymander. [More…]
For many years there have been written into the rules of registered industrial organisations provisions for the implementation of the objects of the organisations and the disciplining of members so that a member of the organisation cannot take action which is in the nature of anarchy and affects drastically the other members. [More…]
With very great respect, Mr President, sometimes after debates of this nature have been opened up in a preliminary way they go on the notice paper and we do not see them again for an awfully long time. [More…]
I hope that the Minister will be seized with the serious nature of this matter and give us an assurance that as soon as the ordinary business of questions and other matters is over on the next day of sitting this matter will come up for clarification. [More…]
I think it is important to indicate to the Senate and to the Australian public the reasons why some States have rejected the concept of providing State funds for export schemes of this nature. [More…]
I think it is unfortunate that in a debate of this nature the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Withers) has introduced matters of a partisan nature such as the present competition for the leadership in the Labor Party and what might be Senator Gietzelt ‘s motives for moving this motion. [More…]
I spoke to a number of members on the Government side of the chamber for the very purpose of effecting this objective of trying to achieve a bipartisan approach to this matter and, if possible, having talks with them as to any amendments that might be made with regard to the composition or nature of the committee or the scope of the terms of reference. [More…]
I would have thought that those who believe that the Indonesians behaved correctly would welcome the opportunity for clearing their client, if I may put it in those terms, the opportunity for which an inquiry of this nature would make available to them. [More…]
Certainly what has happened in Timor and what are the nature, character and history of the actions of the Government of Indonesia are of very great importance to Australia. [More…]
Moreover, we owe an obligation of a wartime nature to the people. [More…]
It would be under the control of the Senate and the inquiry would be under the control of a member of the Senate and therefore would be of a constructive nature. [More…]
Infection of that nature can, in susceptible individuals, precipitate pneumonia and death from cardiac failure. [More…]
If so, can the Minister indicate the general nature of those recommendations and whether any decision has been taken by the Government in relation to them. [More…]

Pursuant to section 1 1 of the States 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…]
Therefore I suggest that the scheme proposed by the Government and as set out in the Bills is of a very temporary nature. [More…]

The States themselves today have a competence to levy taxation of a very wide nature. [More…]
I think when we are looking at an urgency motion of this nature- indeed, when we are looking at any urgency motion which criticises the performance of the Government- the primary and natural thing to do is to look at the Government’s record. [More…]
I am very pleased to have the opportunity of following Senator Wriedt in a debate of this nature because I recall, as he may, that when he was a Minister in the previous Government I spoke in the debate on the Asian Development Bank legislation which he introduced. [More…]
In saying that, I do not imply any criticism because we have to understand that in all of these considerations there is an element of human nature. [More…]
The purpose of legislation of this nature virtually is to help bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. [More…]
When we were in government from 1972 to 1975 we were great supporters of institutions of this nature. [More…]
Therefore, whilst we as a nation appear to be a good performer in this area so far as subscription to Asian development is concerned, which represents a part of our nation’s philosophy to assist in the development of less fortunate nations and less fortunate people, the fact is that the proportion of our gross domestic product which is allocated to investments of this nature in overseas aid has declined from 0.55 per cent to 0.49 per cent this financial year. [More…]
When those matters are borne in mind, the least we can do is to lend our support to a measure of this nature. [More…]
I would think that none of us would be so foolhardy as to say that we know what ought to be the nature of education for the Aborigines. [More…]
One can say that if almost 10 per cent of those students are in a high school and their families are receiving payment as an incentive to keep them there a great opportunity exists to deliver education of a practical nature to those students. [More…]
The clause refers to hostile activities against governments and this, of course, was the nature of the incursions launched from Australia on the two previous occasions. [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…]
As aircraft become more numerous and larger obviously the nature of the accidents becomes more horrendous. [More…]
Those who incidentally I say this without contention- reflect sometimes upon the nature of the International Air Transport Association agreements should note the figures produced for air safety and should recognise that the quality of delivery within IATA is significantly higher than elsewhere. [More…]
If the honourable senator wishes to ask Senator O ‘Byrne matters of that nature, he can do so without my entering into such a request. [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…]
Perhaps one should look for a moment at clause 6 of the Bill to realise what is the nature of that prohibition. [More…]
Sub-clause (3) of clause 6 defines the nature of hostile activity which we would see as being undesirable for people emanating from our shores. [More…]
It will be a matter where the courts can take into account specific circumstances, the accidental or unwitting nature of the activity of a person who does these things. [More…]
Surely somebody who is engaging in military activity, whether for the lawful government or some other force, by the very nature of his occupation must be causing or tending to cause, by force or violence, the public in the foreign country to be in fear of suffering, death or personal injury. [More…]
It seems from the way the Bill stands now that whatever the clause purports- it is intended to deal specifically with persons serving in the forces of the government of a foreign countrythat definition could lead one to the conclusion that somebody serving with those forces was in breach of this Act, if it becomes an Act, from the very nature of the occupation in which he is engaged. [More…]
Every time an attempt is made in the United Nations to deal with a situation of this nature, the great body of the United Nations votes against it. [More…]
While recognising the very intractable nature of terrorism and recognising the attitudes of some other countries in their failure to take action against terrorism, that does not mean that in Australia we should not do what we can in regard to those matters. [More…]
I would rather look at the more serious nature of this article. [More…]
The nature of the Department ‘s work does not lend itself to the employment of apprentices. [More…]
1 ) Some claims of this nature have been brought to my attention. [More…]
I think all who reflect on this matter and who have any sympathy for the people of Tasmania will realise how vulnerable the Tasmanian people are to such industrial action and will deplore the nature of an action that can inflict hardship on people. [More…]
My understanding of the find as it was shown to me does not enable me to say whether it is of a unique nature. [More…]
I am aware that the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) and her Director-General stated in answer to questions from the Press that the High Court brought down a judgment and informal declarations and that until the declarations are made formal they will not give an indication of the Government’s attitude, but they may make submissions regarding the nature of these declarations. [More…]
In addition to such declarations, he could have regard also to the nature of the efforts by the school leaver to seek employment. [More…]
Such a requirement, specifically designed to cure a particular abuse, of its nature is unlikely to provide a satisfactory basis for the general determination of the eligibility of school leavers for unemployment benefits. [More…]
Having regard to the nature of the determination (if it was in truth such), which is here in question, a determination which did no more than reflect the instructions of the Director-General as to the disqualification of school leavers for unemployment benefits during school holidays, it may be that the determination of the delegate, that the plaintiff was not qualified, should be regarded as in fact that of the Director-General. [More…]
But in any event, the nature of the matter here in dispute, not at all concerned with the quality of a particular exercise of discretionary power by an officer but rather with the validity of a general rule of administration adopted by the Director-General, is such that I would not, as a matter of discretion, regard the existence of the right conferred by s. 15 as a reason for refusing declaratory relief. [More…]
It is for the foregoing reasons that I conclude that the plaintiff is entitled to declarations of the general nature already indicated. [More…]
That illustrates the diverse nature of technical education and one of the problems with which all Federal Governments have had to deal over the years. [More…]
The very nature of many TAFE programs, especially in the technologies, demands up-to-date capital facilities if these programs are to be effective. [More…]
the responsibilities of State and Commonwealth authorities in relation to the nature and location of institutions [More…]
I believe that with a Bill of this nature it is pertinent to examine certain aspects in relation to the current education commissions. [More…]
One may look in a cursory way at certain institutions and see that institutions situated close to one another have courses of a similar nature. [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…]
The Government factories are the repository of high technology because of the nature of their functions. [More…]
Because of the dynamic nature and the far reaching effects of energy policy decisions, this is a task which the Government cannot, and will not, undertake in isolation. [More…]
Apart from legal and political considerations, extension to Australia will proceed only if the nature and frequency of the type of storm that is experienced here suggest that they are suitable for the project and the necessary logistic arrangements can be made and the present United States team feels that the situation is satisfactory. [More…]
But because of a deep seated feature of human nature they have been a fairly constant phenomenon in legal history. [More…]
I put to Senator Harradine that if he has views of this nature about the Bill he ought to put them in writing and at length to the Government. [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 Economics’ should be adopted. [More…]

It is not normal practice to divulge the nature of correspondence which may or may not have passed between Commonwealth and State governments. [More…]

Both Mr Knox’s document and my commentary on it were in the nature of private communications and, in accordance with long standing practice, I do not propose to make copies available publicly. [More…]
If so, what were the dates and the nature of their replies? [More…]
Because of the short-term nature of the bounty proposal, provision has been made for the scheme to operate on a year-by year 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…]
Finally, it should be made clear that the wine industry will be one of the largest beneficiaries of the trading stock valuation adjustment in its present form because of the relatively stock intensive nature of the industry. [More…]
I understand that, following the first meeting of heads of industrial tribunals in Adelaide towards the end of last year, Sir John wrote to the Minister indicating that consultation between the tribunals, joint sittings in appropriate circumstances and related matters of an administrative nature had been discussed. [More…]
It is interesting to consider that it was only the second time that a committee of this nature had been appointed by a federal Government in Australia. [More…]
It would provide a basis on which manufacturing industry could plan ahead with greater certainty as to the nature and direction of Government policies. [More…]
I suggest that the inability of this Government to make any fundamental review of the nature of the economy and the problems besetting manufacturing industry and the divisions that therefore exist within the Government are the reasons why the report on manufacturing industry has not yet been dealt with and placed before the Australian Parliament and the Australian community for a public debate. [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…]
Will the Minister accept that the strike is of a different nature to other strikes which have occurred recently? [More…]
But following that incident and other incidents of a similar nature which increase the responsibility of air controllers, would the Minister not consider it reasonable that the Government should be looking at this dispute in a different light and that it should accept that some quick decision ought to be made to prevent a recurrence of these 24-hour strikes from time to time? [More…]
We have been most scrupulous in not looking at advisings or correspondence of a governmental nature which passed between Ministers and their advisers. [More…]
That dispute is of a different nature. [More…]
It involves seeds which are of a very light nature, such as carrot seeds, and which may float in the wind being planted through a drill in a type of toothpaste mixture. [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…]

It is in accordance with usual practice that information of this nature should be regarded as confidential. [More…]
I would mention that it is in accordance with usual practice that the nature of communications which may or may not have passed between governments should be treated as confidential. [More…]

In view of the danger of the people being deceived by repetitive assertions of this nature, will the Minister reassure the public that they will achieve simultaneous elections, with all their attendant benefits, by voting for this proposal? [More…]
It is quite obvious from the nature of the proposal for simultaneous elections, coupled as it is with a proposal for this Parliament to make laws for the holding of Senate elections, that it will obviously be the purpose of any government to ensure that the election for half the Senate will be held at the same time as and on the same day as elections for the House of Representatives. [More…]
In those countries an action of this nature would not have been contemplated. [More…]
Once again we see the management of GM-H, when faced with an adverse economic situation, which may or may not be of a temporary nature, immediately rushing to relieve an economic burden at the expense of its work force- the blue collar workers. [More…]
The Committee feels that given the very long term nature of any benefits that are to accrue from solar research, and the extent of Australia’s coal and gas reserves, research and development funding for solar energy projects should be considered on a competitive basis with research funding required for other energy resources.

Another scrap dealer in Brisbane attests that he received a strong suggestion to give an opinion that Aufferber’s business was not viable because of the makeshift nature of the equipment upon which Aufferber was relying. [More…]
They were of that nature. [More…]
If this is the case, will the Minister undertake to ensure that CSIRO will prepare a document showing all of those persons and organisations in Australia which are engaged in solar research, where the research is being carried out, the level of funding received and the nature of the research? [More…]
As regards the nature of research - [More…]
In view of the serious nature of these allegations that the CIA has been tapping telephone and telex messages from Australia and the fact that such information would be a grave intrusion, providing United States business interests with major advantages over Australian businessmen, will the Government cease doing nothing and establish a full investigation to ascertain the truth or otherwise of these allegations? [More…]
Delivery of a ministerial statement in the Parliament on matters of that nature enables such matters to be debated fully by the Parliament. [More…]
In view of the serious nature of statements made by Mr Agee does the Government not believe that his presence in Australia could be of benefit in inquiring into recent allegations of CIA interference in Australia ‘s political and industrial affairs? [More…]
Even so, formulation of an objective opinion on the environmental aspects of the industry is hampered by a general lack of researched knowledge on the nature of Australian forests, their soils, streams, fauna and flora. [More…]

The Committee was concerned that departmental witnesses did not seem to be fully aware of the serious nature of the Department’s illegal actions. [More…]

Apart from all other considerations, we cannot control the forces of nature. [More…]
It would be inconsistent with the humanitarian nature of refugee resettlement not to accept some people in this category; [More…]

The Corporation will not underwrite land transactions of a speculative nature. [More…]
The objectives of immigration can be reduced to two: Firstly, those serving specific national interests such as providing needed manpower for industrial and economic development and more generally stimulating Australia’s economic growth; secondly, those of a humanitarian nature. [More…]

I suppose that it could be argued that an inquiry of this nature should not become the responsibility of this Committee. [More…]
I believe that there are other considerations which should be taken into account when speaking to a motion of this nature and I will devote a little time to those. [More…]

In other words, there is to be quite a gradation of persons with skills and experience appointed- from, a judge down to others who will have other qualifications but not necessarily of a nature covered by judicial or legal experience. [More…]

It is true to say that the Premiers and the Commonwealth are not arguing at all about the terms of reference; they are arguing about the nature of the body and they are divided amongst themselves in that regard. [More…]
To apply myself specifically to the question, there is no difference at all between the Commonwealth and the Premiers as to the nature of the terms of reference. [More…]
Those officers who are giving to him information of this nature could perhaps be better engaged in processing the mail in respect of which they have been dealing with the honourable senator. [More…]
I think that the very fact that members of the Committee were happy with the composition of that nature shows the trust that has developed amongst members of the Committee in the objectivity of its members in bringing down reports, which was endorsed by the fact that the Committee as a whole adopted the report of the sub-committee. [More…]
states that, if two or more members of an industrial organisation engage in conduct of a secondary boycott nature, the organisation shall be deemed to engage in that conduct unless it shows that it has taken all reasonable steps to prevent it. [More…]
I am certainly concerned about the inadequate time that we have had to consider the detailed provisions of this Bill, the complex nature of the particular provisions and the fact that this legislation is being rushed through the Parliament in the last days of the parliamentary session. [More…]
It has presented the legislation in a hasty, ill-prepared way, arguing that it is simply a machinery matter which is not of wide interest in the community but which is mainly of a technical nature. [More…]
The indirect effects of strikes of that nature are very far-reaching, and no one can assess those effects accurately. [More…]

Does the Minister not agree that it is intolerable that a person so closely involved in the very industry under inquiry should be able to make allegations of this nature without substantiation? [More…]
If the honourable senator believes that, as a result of a telex of that nature and content, the Government should commence an inquiry when the telex itself contains the words ‘There is not one recommendation in the second Fox report (according to Press speculation)’, I really think she ought to spend her time doing something more useful in the Senate. [More…]
They will still not understand the nature of the tests and the necessity or otherwise for those tests. [More…]
I suggest that it is a pity that a Bill of this nature, along with a number of others, has to be dealt with so expeditiously this afternoon. [More…]

After all, it is not really legislation of a nature to bring out the sort of emotionalism that we have been listening to for most of the afternoon- in fact, for most of the day. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that I have said here from time to time that a substantially increased demand for adult migrant education is emerging for a variety of reasons, including the nature of refugees, the nature of migrants, the emergence of women in the field and, to some degree, unemployment. [More…]
-I present the report from the Standing Committee on Social Welfare on its inquiry into the extent and nature of the inappropriate use of alcohol, tobacco, analgesics and cannabis, together with the official Hansard transcript of the evidence taken during the inquiry. [More…]
Our views derive directly from the incontrovertible nature of the evidence presented to us. [More…]
We have attempted to come up with a report on the extent and nature of the inappropriate use of alcohol, tobacco, analgesics and cannabis. [More…]
The report is designed to cover the extent and nature of the inappropriate use of the drugs mentioned. [More…]
As I would not want in any way to fail to search that if he would like subsequently to direct a question to me or indicate to me the nature of the inquiry, I will carry it further and I will ask if the Auditor-General would have any objections to it. [More…]
-As Senator Gietzelt has said, we gave aid of a direct nature from the Federal Government to local government organisations throughout Australia, on the recommendations of the Commonwealth Grants Commission, having regard to the needs of local government organisations and because the needs of rural communities had been neglected for so long by our predecessors in government. [More…]
We were the first to give real assistance of a substantial nature to isolated children throughout Australia. [More…]
However, one would have thought that Opposition members in this place today and in the other place yesterday would have regarded a debate of this nature as a golden opportunity to put forward positive policies that presumably they propose to put to the Australian people at the next federal election, whenever that might be. [More…]
I very much regret the nature of the speculation that is taking place. [More…]
In a discussion of this nature it is probably worth reflecting on a few areas in which research may be of great value to this industry. [More…]
what should be the nature and extent of the assistance provided, or continue to be provided by the Australia Government. [More…]
But I believe that statements of that kind are of such a serious nature and are going to create such ill feeling and concern amongst so many people that it ill behoves anybody to make such a statement, even in an ironical fashion. [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 they are unaware of the considerable work done by parliamentarians of all parties behind the scenes in committees such as that of Public Accounts. [More…]
In spite of the inconsistencies in the view of the National Country Party and in spite of the contradictions between that alleged view and the statements of its leader, some reasonable case can be made for a rural electorate of that nature which probably would return a National Country Party member. [More…]
That report which, of course, was purely advisory and of a recommendatory nature and carried no authority in its own right, was based on the Industries Assistance Commission’s assessment of the longer term structural factors associated with those sectors of primary industry and the manufacturing industry that was involved. [More…]
The Government has felt free in this case to take actions contrary to the recommendations of the IAC and I suggest that this reflects, the true nature of the relationship between the IAC and the Government. [More…]
There is no evidence of threats of this nature being widespread. [More…]
-Has the Minister representing the Prime Minister in Public Service Matters seen a report that some Commonwealth public servants have complained to the Administrative and Clerical Officers Association that they have been asked to perform duties of a party political nature for electioneering purposes on behalf of the Government? [More…]
It is an unselfish step which His Honour considers he should take in the interests of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory, having regard to the administrative nature of the duties of the Chief Judge of that Court. [More…]
At the outset, I wish to make one or two remarks of an observatory nature concerning the report of the Committee. [More…]
The reduction in the staff of that Department is reflected in the decrease, in real terms, in the amount of money appropriated for salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
In the meantime payments in the nature of interest and rental have been saved. [More…]
The fact that we are applying our restricted expenditure economy proposals to capital construction of a productive nature is, I think, shortsighted in the extreme. [More…]
I raised the subject only a fortnight ago and in effect the Minister said in response, ‘Well, committees of this nature do make recommendations as to the way in which money should be expended but not as to the way in which money should be raised’. [More…]
This is in bound form and contains information on the progress of research projects and other material of a reference nature. [More…]
That a Senate select committee be appointed 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…]
It will be recalled that up until 1967 the nature of the waterside employment was almost exclusively casual. [More…]
Because of the nature of the smaller ports, their location and methods of operation, it has been seen as desirable that the central funding arrangements should continue to apply in much the same way as is presently the case. [More…]
That levy will be imposed in respect of tonnage of cargo handled by waterside workers and special provisions have been made to ensure that local cargo and cargo of a bulk nature will be subject to lesser amounts of levy. [More…]
But the blockage of Supply, and some of the extreme statements about the nature of the economic crisis . [More…]
We have a committee which examines the experts on a particular subject and although bi-party in nature, usually reaches a unanimous decision based on that evidence, and brings down certain recommendations to solve a problem that the Government apparently thought existed- only to find that those recommendations are never enacted. [More…]
Whether the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court legislation had to be amended to increase the number of judges depended on the nature of the resignation of Mr Justice Fox and that was the only reason for the reference to increasing the size of the Court. [More…]
I think we should be looking also at the nature of the institution, the constitutional function which a Governor-General has, whether those constitutional functions are appropriate in 1977, as they were deemed to be in the Victorian era - [More…]
I think that, as a result of the presentation of this legislation which gives a handout to the office of Governor-General, honourable senators opposite who are so sensitive about decadent institutions in this country, including the office of Governor-General, should think a little more seriously about the nature of that institution, about the constitutional functions which are imposed upon the Governor-General and about the way in which he in fact discharges those functions. [More…]
In a debate on that issue we would have to make certain criticism which, by the nature of your very ruling on this occasion and other occasions, would be deemed to be disrespectful under Standing Order 417. [More…]
Part of this reduction was of a voluntary nature but it was at considerable cost to the industry and, because costs are passed on, at considerable cost to the exporters of our goods. [More…]
If Senator Walters and Senator Wright, if he does not already do so, were to read every month’s issue of the Maritime Worker they would find out that some accidents of this nature have occurred. [More…]
It was set up at a time when the nature of the provision of labour on the waterfront was entirely different from what it is today. [More…]
I only mention this to the Senate to make clear the extensive nature of the discussions that have taken place over a long period of time and they were taken into account when these Bills were being prepared. [More…]
This is probably due to the major change in the nature of loading operations on the waterfront in recent years. [More…]
The nature ofthe industry has changed to such an extent that the existing arrangements are no longer satisfactory and need to be changed. [More…]
I take it that, no matter what is contained in this legislation, it will not rule out what Sir John Moore suggested, namely, that there be consultation between the State and Federal tribunals whenever industrial impasses of that nature occur- and they will occur. [More…]
1 ) Contains changes to the personal tax system which are regressive in nature and which will have little effect in stimulating economic activity; [More…]
I note that in the amendment Senator Wriedt asserts that the changes to the personal income tax system are in fact regressive in nature. [More…]
Staff ceilings do apply in that Department, but I point out to him that whenever the Government embarks upon new policy areas, such as being involved in new international conferences and things of that nature, the fact that the staff ceilings are at a certain level is always taken into consideration as part of the normal process of government and, if it is felt that the decisionmaking process requires more staff to be provided for work on new policies on which the Government will make determinations and which the Government believes will need more staff, then more staff is provided. [More…]
At present salaries and payments in the nature of salaries, administrative expenses and other services in this field cost the taxpayer in the Commonwealth Budget some $3 1 m. [More…]
Let me say here and now that, on the advice I have received, the divisional returning officers in the various divisions of the Electoral Office must be the most underpaid officers in the whole of the Australian Public Service, considering the onerous and responsible nature of their duties. [More…]
Those questions were asked as long ago as February of this year, and Senator Withers indicated that the nature of the timetable was such that it would lead to an election early in 1978. [More…]
I am concerned about the claim made by Senator Douglas McClelland that certain safeguards which were thought to be of a permanent nature are being removed from the existing legislation. [More…]
Are the amendments which are proposed by the Government of a nature that may affect the situation in future? [More…]

Undertake a study into the nature and extent of adjustment problems of Australian manufacturing industries, with particular reference to the most highly protected industries arising from changes in the internal and external environments; advise on the essential elements in a long term policy to deal with these problems having regard to the implications of the likely patterns of industries growth and employment prospects, and the capacity of the economy to sustain changes in the industrial structure. [More…]
A second objective of a general nature, closely related to the first, is for the average rate of growth of energy consumption, particularly in liquid fuels, to be restrained. [More…]

It is simply extending it because it has not finally resolved the future nature of the administration of the program. [More…]
If such a decision were made in the future, as part and parcel of that decision, there certainly would be continuing Federal Government g rants and assistance for work of this nature. [More…]
Those figures alone give us some conception of the situation in which school leavers will find themselves at the end of this year but because there still seems to be a failure on the part of the Government to really come to terms with the drastic nature of the situation I remind the Senate of the job vacancy situation. [More…]
That is a matter of continuing discussion, and the querulous way in which Senator McLaren referred to my answer to his question indicates that he does not understand the continuing nature of the discussions with State Ministers. [More…]
I am talking now about work that is not of a post-graduate nature. [More…]
The Treasurer, who was absent from Question Time in another place on 3 November, must frankly and promptly reveal the full nature and extent of his dealings in land on the Mornington Peninsula and, in particular, his financial relationships, personal and political, with Mr Leake, whose relations with Ministers in the Hamer Government in securing development permits and raising election funds have been exposed before the inquiry in recent weeks. [More…]

The Minister will have power to specify the nature and purpose of programming as well as the technical specifications for all commercial and public radio and television stations. [More…]
These will indicate the nature of the service to be provided, the area to be served, the purpose of the licence, and other technical matters. [More…]
I am afraid that apart from those honourable senators who have spoken this afternoon and a few others there would not appear to be, in the dying days and hours of this Parliament, a great deal of interest and a great deal of opportunity for careful and rational consideration of a Bill of this nature. [More…]
Besides technical matters these include specifications about the nature and purpose of the service- Le. [More…]
Under proposed new sub-section (4) of proposed new section 106b, he is also denied the right to make any communication to a court of information of this nature. [More…]
The amending Bill leaves the Minister with the same powers, except that he is limited to conditions relating to certain specificationsfor example as to the nature, the area and the purpose. [More…]
The Bill proposes a number of other amendments to the Customs Act which are more of a general ‘housekeeping’ nature. [More…]
The Bill also provides an opportunity to make a number of minor amendments of procedural or a consequential nature to the Australian Shipping Commission Act which will bring the provisions of the Act into line with 1>resent practice and make for uniformity with Legislation in relation to other Commonwealth transport undertakings. [More…]
One matter that is of great significance is the question of national parks and nature reserves. [More…]
In the current financial year amounts are included in the Appropriation Bill for grants to the States for air quality monitoring, soil conservation and nature conservation. [More…]
We make that observation in passing because we think that this provision is consistent with the rather authoritarian nature of this legislation. [More…]
Has the AttorneyGeneral studied the implications of a recent High Court decision involving mining operations in Tasmania’s south-west wilderness region in the case of Stow v. Mineral Holdings Ltd which appears to rule out future legal action by conservation organisations in disputes of this nature? [More…]
I suggest to him that the real and critical matter is the nature and magnitude of a breach. [More…]
I really find that this section is one which makes a mockery of the socalled nature of the Broadcasting Tribunal as a quasi-judicial body. [More…]
In this country in the past couple of years there has been a lot of talk about the nature of the broadcasting structure. [More…]
Returning to the Commission’s comments about the divisive nature of the Government’s policies, it states at page 3 of the report: [More…]
Because of the general nature of the problem facing agriculture, that is not a very palatable alternative nor is it a profitable alternative. [More…]
We are expected to deal with a Bill of this momentous nature at half past three on the last day of this session. [More…]
What was the nature of the advice received by the Minister from the Department of Education regarding the proposed removal of teachers from Occasional Care Centres in the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
The nature of the goods is not specified, and any goods may be carried within the operating capabilities of the aircraft so long as their carriage does not jeopardise the safety of the aircraft. [More…]
In relation to the cost aspects of an equipment acquisition, the Five Year Rolling Program by its very nature ensures that my Department continually reviews its existing and forward expenditure commitments in the light of financial guidance provided by the Government. [More…]
We should not leave these things until there are differences of a parliamentary nature between one House and another, with different parties controlling the two Houses. [More…]
I think the claims which were made by Opposition spokesmen overlooked the continuing nature of the duties of field officers and the administrative process in which they are engaged for those people who seek pensions and benefits. [More…]
There are people- not many yet, but an increasing number- who see parliament as a place that has no concern for their hopes or aspirations and who, whatever attempts are made to introduce reform to overcome what they see as their disadvantages or difficulties, feel that the system is rigged against them either by the nature of parliament itself, by the electoral system or by the fact that the decisions of parliament itself are so often able to be overcome or got around by those in power outside the parliament. [More…]
Some research of a minimal nature shows that, when women take the pill and drink alcohol, the alcohol becomes very dangerous because it stays in their systems longer. [More…]
I think you, Madam Acting Deputy President, in your words to the chamber this afternoon described the unsatisfactory nature of setting up a series of committees, councils and bodies which talk, represent no one and get nothing done. [More…]
What is the nature of the appointment? [More…]
In view of the very detailed nature of the question asked by Senator Wright I will refer it to the Minister whom I represent and endeavour to obtain an early reply. [More…]
The senseless murder of three innocent Australiansthe third, a police constable died in hospital yesterday- demonstrated the indiscriminate nature of terrorist violence. [More…]
Additional measures which, by their nature, require further detailed examination will be taken on the advice of a review which the Government is establishing. [More…]
We need to establish a commission to review the functions and nature of the Constitution, which was framed before many of the developments of the 20th century- such as industrialisation, the need for increased Government participation in the economy, guaranteed employment, the rights of trade unionists, basic human rights, civil liberties and the role of political parties within the governmental systembecame as important as they are today. [More…]
This Government was going to prevent takeovers of this nature unless they were in the best interests of all concerned. [More…]
Without the safety precautions of trade unions which may be compelled to take action if necessary, I hope the Government itself which has some authority under the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act will take the appropriate steps to ensure that action of this nature will not be taken by the Queensland Government. [More…]
I believe that we should address ourselves vigorously and continuously to this problem, not in order to blackguard the statutory corporations but to look seriously at the nature of the problem to see what sort of difficulties it is creating for Parliament, and to try to find a reasonable solution which will somehow meet the original objective of statutory corporations but will not at the same time undermine the authority and responsibility of Parliament. [More…]
What is it trying to do when it broadcasts programs of this nature? [More…]
The instruments at the Station consist of sensitive detectors, similar in nature to microphones, designed to pick up vibrations in the ground. [More…]
I endeavour not to be unduly critical, but naturally in the course of a debate of this nature one must criticise the Government to some degree for much of its policies. [More…]
Heads of Government welcomed the Australian Government’s initiative in proposing the Meeting which they felt provided a valuable opportunity at the regional level to discuss matters of common interest, including problems of a global nature, from the varied viewpoints and perspectives of their several countries. [More…]
It is interesting to reflect back to when the honourable member for Werriwa (Mr E. G. Whitlam) was Prime Minister and when, speaking here in this building on the occasion of a visit of Her Majesty the Queen, he reminded his audience of the extent of the Commonwealth in this pan of the world and the nature of the countries which make up the Commonwealth of Nations in this area. [More…]
The introduction of computerised data collection, the storage, search and retrieval of information, is changing the whole nature of information sciences and disciplines and the amount of information which is available. [More…]
Prospects for the future are not such as to inspire confidence, and especially is that true given the Government’s failure, as evidenced by the Governor-General’s Speech, to recognise the true nature of the Australian economy and the fact that our current problems arise from that nature. [More…]
In the same period the figure for knitted materials increased by 77 per cent, clothing by 160 per cent, footwear by 140 per cent, wood products and items of that nature by 40 per cent, electrical appliances and equipment by 26 per cent, and leather and leather products by 33 per cent. [More…]
As all honourable senators would know, what I have done with regard to SEMP has been this: Each member of this Parliament and members of the Press have been circularised with, I think, some comprehensive data on the nature of SEMP. [More…]
We can expose to public scrutiny throughout Australia the nature of the subject matter and have an evaluation by the public of Australia. [More…]
However, the Government is of the view that standing legislation of this nature is more appropriate to the requirements of a long-term program. [More…]
The Bill before the Senate is a step in this process, and the continuing nature of the proposed Act lends itself eminently to sustained initiatives by the Commonwealth to ensure the most effective development and utilisation of Australia’s water resources. [More…]
The regulations will spell out to whom the fees are to be paid, and fees that are in the nature of Court fees, as lawyers refer to them, will be payable to the registrar of the court on behalf of the court. [More…]
Whether we like it or not, the profit motive goes closer than anything yet devised to satisfying that somewhat indefinable thing we call human nature. [More…]
If they do not take account of human nature and all the varieties of human behaviour, they will not contribute to the furtherance of a free democratic society. [More…]
I select the area of primary industry because of its basic nature and its peculiar characteristics in this country. [More…]
The fact is that one of the Government’s own experts in the field- Mr Paul Kirby, the First Assistant Secretary, Manpower and Economic Policy, in the Department of Employment and Industrial Relationswarned as long ago as August 1976 in an address to the first National Conference on Technical and Further Education that it has long been recognised that insufficient resources and attention have been given to the study of the nature of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, in Australia. [More…]
With unemployment in Australia exceeding 7 per cent of the work force for the first time in more than 40 years and with half the unemployed under 21 years of age, the Commonwealth Government must now assign a senior Minister to the sole responsibility of analysing the nature and breaking the back of the structural unemployment problems that are besetting Australia. [More…]
The fact that half of the unemployed are under 2 1 years of age highlights the gravity and structural nature of the problem of unemployment. [More…]
It has long been recognised that insufficient resources and attention have been given to the study of the nature of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, in Australia. [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…]
This is a matter on which my own mind is quite clear and I am acting in accordance with my own clear view of the principles laid down by the Constitution and of the nature, powers and responsibility of my office. [More…]
Criticism is sometimes directed at CSIRO because of its size, but that size enables considerable manpower and resources to be directed towards vital research of an inter-disciplinary nature. [More…]
The Senate will be aware that most research today is long term in nature. [More…]
Australia will have to make some sort of a showing in the intervening period so that the world at large will know that we are there and we are carrying out work of a scientific nature and of a kind which proposes to enhance man’s existence on this earth. [More…]
It emphasises the changing nature of the Treaty relationship and perhaps the need for some reexamination of the Treaty itself. [More…]
The Minister for the Northern Territory has been advised by the Northern Territory Executive’s member for resources and health that liaison between the Northern Territory Executive and the Environment Ministers of the Commonwealth and the States is achieved in the context of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
At the meeting it was decided that the objectives of the Council would include the establishment of facilities for advice, instruction, demonstration and support to business management on information technologies; the promotion of the importance of information technology to the productivity of business enterprise; the promotion of the interrelationships and complementary nature of the individual technologies; and the sponsorship of development projects within the ambit of information technologies which offer particular promise in the enhancement of productivity of business enterprise. [More…]
Secondly, I should say that the best way in which the Territory can preserve its current advantagesaccrued over the years because of its very nature, its isolation, its sparseness of population and its distance from points of main supplieswould be to proceed towards the selfgovernment principles that the Commonwealth Government has in mind. [More…]
I emphasise that the changes will not compromise the independence of the IAC, nor its role in advising the Government on the nature and levels of assistance which should be afforded particular industries. [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…]
The point that Senator Harradine raised earlier today has now been adequately catered for in the proposition that the Standing Orders Committee should have regard to the changing nature of the Senate. [More…]
Mr Costigan appears to have been misled by the mockup design, which was intended merely to indicate the nature of what might emerge. [More…]
I think it is fair to say that amongst some honourable senators there is a feeling that many matters which are put forward as matters of urgency tend to be highly-charged and of a political nature and tend to take the character of a censure motion; that therefore the Senate tends to divide on them upon party lines rather than upon their substance. [More…]
I regret that I was not able to be present at the meeting of the Standing Orders Committee, but on my reading of its report it is proposed that the new procedures be of an experimental nature for the rest of the year. [More…]
The current policy of the Government is to permit private organisations considerable freedom in relation to the nature of benefits provided under supplementary benefits tables provided that the Minister for Health is satisfied that the tables are financially viable. [More…]
1 think he fairly and effectively summarised the nature of our opposition to the legislation at the time. [More…]
It seems to me that the offences which are set out in the relevant clauses of this Bill are of such a nature that if a prima facie case could be made out that they have been committed, a prosecution should follow, as happens with the commission of most other offences against the Crimes Act. [More…]
At present we are seeing incursions by Cuban and Soviet troops into the internal affairs of various African countries- incursions of such a nature as would, I think, arouse a great deal of uproar if they were to be committed by, for example, the United States of America. [More…]
The pace in international organisations’ fighting hijacking and terrorism has been deliberately deterred by people who are fomenting revolution of an armed nature throughout the world. [More…]
That government policy is to be used to grant usually substantial levels of assistance, of a socalled temporary nature, lasting up to two years, regardless of the recommendations of the TAA on that matter. [More…]
The nature of the Commission designed by Sir John Crawford was carefully considered and defined in his report and was considered subsequently by the Whitlam Government before the enabling legislation for the establishment of the Commission came into the Parliament. [More…]
It was decided at that time on the recommendation of Sir John Crawford, after he had had discussions with the multifarious departments and organisations I have named in general, that the Industries Assistance Commission should be regarded as a completely independent statutory authority, given very wide powers of an investigatory nature in order to enable it to make recommendations to the Government on the type of assistance that should be given to industries, providing a review of tariff policies that had remained unchanged for six years before the Whitlam Labor Government came to office and accumulating a rich source of data on the types of assistance that should be given to industry. [More…]
This scrutiny is necessary because of the highly selective nature of the process. [More…]
The Government, therefore, by this Bill, proposes to change the whole nature of the Commission’s role as adviser to the Government. [More…]
The nature of the inquiries which the IAC makes into industries is denned in the Act and covers a wide ambit. [More…]
It shows that the structure of the furnishing industry is similar in all Western industralised countries, irrespective of government policy and population; that this is a result of the nature of the market, which calls for not only a wide variety of articles but also a wide variety of styles of articles. [More…]
That clearly establishes that the Australian furniture industry is identical in nature to its counterpart in highly industralised, Western Europe. [More…]
The ACTING DEPUTY PRESIDENT (Senator McAuliffe)- What is the nature of the document that the honourable senator wishes to incorporate? [More…]
I do not need to remind honourable senators of the nature of these attacks. [More…]
Last year Senator Cotton presented another White Paper on manufacturing industry which again drew attention to the nature of the problem. [More…]
A similar problem is occurring now in the building industry, where over the last two or three years apprentices have almost disappeared because of the nature of the industry and the problems associated with the downturn that has taken and is continuing to take place. [More…]
It seems to the Australian Labor Party that the Government should be giving the Industrial Assistance Commission wider guidelines and greater assistance to carry out its valuable work of objective reporting about the nature of industry, provided it is in line with overall strategy which is the responsibility of governments. [More…]
The Spectator acknowledges the misleading nature of its report as relating to Mr McCabe, and unreservedly withdraws any imputations regarding Mr McCabe ‘s good reputation, character and integrity. [More…]
Allegations of the nature of those that we heard last evening do not elevate the standing of the Victorian Parliament or of this chamber unless they have foundation. [More…]
I may add that in all probability it would not be a case in which I would be able to give any information to the Senate, because no government answers questions concerning individual cases of this nature. [More…]
Because of the short-term nature of the proposal, provision has been made for the scheme to operate on an annual basis, ceasing on 30 September 1 980, and for the amount available for payment of bounty not to exceed $600,000 annually. [More…]
However, one does get the very clear impression that Australia’s coastal surveillance in respect of off-shore law enforcement is bogged down in a gigantic bureaucratic tangle and that something in the nature of a public inquiry, insofar as that is able to be undertaken, by a select committee of the Senate would be able to examine the current situation and propose solutions. [More…]
The incident of the drug haul off Jervis Bay involving rafts with radio beacons is sufficient to show that crimes of this nature are being committed right throughout Australia. [More…]
The article entitled Policing Offshore: Civil Power or Armed Forces’ by Elizabeth Young goes into the political and diplomatic problems associated with using armed forces as a matter of course to go to the aid of the civil power or to perform what are essentially civilian tasks of a constabulary nature. [More…]
The point about that sort of thing is that the former Commissioner of Police in South Australia, who I say was undoubtedly a very distinguished police officer, is clearly out of his depth in understanding the nature of a pluralist society. [More…]
He does not understand that in a pluralist society the expression of views critical of police forces, the expression of views about the purposes and nature of Western society, which might be questionable, is part of a vital democratic process- and we happen to live in a vitally democratic country, about which some of us sometimes have doubt. [More…]
It is quite important that a person who has no understanding of the nature of a pluralist society should not be in a position where he makes judgments about the citizens of that society on the basis that he personally regards their views as questionable. [More…]
I think that that comment on the Morgan case really goes to the crux of the unsatisfactory nature of the current law and the fundamental aspect of the law which must be changed- not just modified, but absolutely changed- if this law is to be as other laws in our community are, namely, for the protection of potential victims or for the satisfactory prosecution of guilty persons. [More…]
Will the Government give urgent consideration to stimulating a program of regional development to ensure that decisions of this nature need not be taken by private companies if they are aware that the Federal Government can assist them to maintain industries in such areas? [More…]
Whilst I am aware of the nature of the dispute, I am not aware of the details. [More…]
Apart from the pork barrelling origin of onehalf of this Bill, the Australian Labor Party has grave reservations about the open-ended nature of clause 7 (2) which authorises non-specific future payments for water resources projects. [More…]
The history of the Ord River scheme underlines more than that of any other irrigation scheme, certainly any recent irrigation scheme, the need for critical parliamentary scrutiny of the appropriation of funds of this nature. [More…]
Although my colleagues on the Senate Standing Committee on Science and the Environment may agree with my remarks, I emphasise that my remarks are of a personal nature. [More…]
I have some misgivings about this, and I think that the Opposition ‘s amendment has been prompted by the fact that in much smaller procedural matters involving nature conservation grants we are provided with a brief map but receive no information on the habitat or the wildlife involved. [More…]
Finally, when these agreements are presented, I should like to see more details given than are given under the Nature Conservation Grants, which are far too skimpy. [More…]
The Committee went on further to point out that the federal nature of such an authority should be maintained. [More…]
I point out to Senator Walsh that the problems in the Ord area were of a nature that could not have been expected or anticipated when the project was constructed. [More…]
This is the area of applied research where some problems may be of a nature that interests only a particular State. [More…]
I suggest that is why the Government says it is now of the view that standing legislation of the nature of this Bill is more appropriate to the requirements of a long term program and that, moreover, it will reduce the legislative load in the Parliament without in any way restricting the flow of information or reducing the opportunities for debate. [More…]
We object to the expressed purpose of the Bill but not the nature of the legislation. [More…]
All the flood problems in New South Wales have been created by man and not by nature. [More…]
It surprised me to discover in the evidence before the Committee that the Foundation is currently involved in a number of projects of an effective and practical nature- not of a theoretical nature. [More…]
That is the whole nature of this exercise. [More…]
I can think only that when that amendment was moved by Senator Walsh he did not have regard to the forms of the Senate, to the nature of the Senate and to developments taking place within the Senate. [More…]
It is hoped that from both the exploratory fishing and any commercial operation information will be passed on to Australian authorities so that future applications for fishing this resource can be dealt with and knowledge of the extent and nature of the area to be fished can be made available to Australian fishermen. [More…]
The nature of the environment at Woomera is such that it is expected that it will be some time before the full environmental implications of military use of Woomera will be known and final decision made. [More…]
I congratulate the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) on the informative nature of her speech which, with respect, sounded like an article in the National Geographic. [More…]
Citizens of the Commonwealth have the clear right to express themselves upon the nature of proposals laid before the country by the Federal Government, and the more influential the citizen, by reason of achievement or public service, the more weight will the people attach to his opinions. [More…]
Basic information of this nature is essential for the design and analysis of systems of financing health care. [More…]
But not everything is revealed in agreements of this nature which are tabled in the Parliament. [More…]
The fact is, as I understand it, that these authorities and the CCDA are distinct from local government authorities because of the nature of local councils and their related operations. [More…]
I think there is obviously a need to clarify what this legislation is about and a need to clarify the nature of the reservations expressed by the Opposition in the amendment moved by Senator Robertson. [More…]
Senator Knight, who spoke earlier in this debate, suggested that the Opposition was misled as to the nature of the legislation. [More…]
The Minister for the Capital Territory (Mr Ellicott) has seen fit to put out a Press release clarifying the nature of the legislation. [More…]
I suppose I can do no better than to quote it because the nature of the legislation is stated very clearly. [More…]
The Canberra Showground Trust will be exempted under the sales tax legislation because of the very nature of its functions. [More…]
In any event will the Government consider introducing a Bill of that nature at an early stage and allowing it to lie on the table of the Senate and the House of Representatives for some time to enable interested parties to submit their views on such important and complex legislation? [More…]
In a commercial transaction of this nature it is usual that details remain confidential until all legal technicalities are finalised. [More…]
I will briefly outline the nature of the report. [More…]
Clause 22 sets out the nature of applications that may be reviewed by the Tribunal. [More…]
It is important when we amend an Act of this nature that we should endeavour to achieve the objective which the Bill seeks but at the same time we should ensure that it does not go beyond what might be considered a reasonable thing. [More…]
I take it that the staffing assistance being discussed goes beyond this and is in the nature of research assistance of a special kind. [More…]
In passing I must say that if we really wanted to do anything about the way in which we work here and the system under which we operate we would not try to do it ourselves; we would get an outside firm of management consultants or something of that nature, give it a free run of this place for 12 months and let it come up with entirely fresh ideas and a fresh approach to what we do. [More…]
The point I make is that that gentleman, who appeared to be a security officer of some nature, was looking for entree cards. [More…]
We all know that when we address public meetings during election campaigns, when feelings tend to run a little high, and when we do other things of that nature there is a certain risk attached. [More…]
Institute research is generally of a national and comparative nature, whereas that funded by the Criminology Research Council is more often of an intensive nature and localised in particular regions. [More…]
But nevertheless it did appear to me at that early stage that we were looking at the case of the choir boy who had been caught smoking, or doing something of a very minor nature. [More…]
It goes on to say that cargoes handled increased slightly in the relevant period and it indicates something of the nature of those cargoes and particularly the additional handling of container and roll-on roll-off vessel cargoes during the year. [More…]
I would like to make a couple of comments about the nature and importance of the report. [More…]
He made the point that legislation of this nature, while in this case it protects a very small Australian industry and probably ensures the maintenance of something like the existing level of employment, is a very poor substitute- in fact, it is no substitute at allfor a general economic recovery. [More…]
On the occasion when this matter was previously being debated in the Senate, I felt, particularly from the remarks of Opposition senators, that there was perhaps a little in the nature of hysteria in regard to the proposals which were made. [More…]
So the other members of the Joint House Committee and I are inhibited in taking place in a full-scale debate because of the confidential nature of the report. [More…]
I am sure that the members of the Privileges Committee will agree to the confidential nature of the report just as members of the Senate House Committee did. [More…]
How many Aborigines needing hospital treatment of this nature are being treated as prisoners at Alice Springs. [More…]
There are no Aborigines needing hospital treatment of this nature being treated as prisoners at Alice Springs. [More…]
The objectives of the Bureau report are somewhat broader in nature than the Prices Justification Tribunal inquiry. [More…]
As to the nature of the safeguards, I simply direct her to the uranium package put out some months ago when the Commonwealth Government made available to the Senate and the people of Australia its uranium policies under all the various headings. [More…]
The nature of that action will be made known, I think, in the near future. [More…]
While not actively involved in teaching from 1972, the nature of Sister’s doctoral work involved collecting data continuously from January to December 1973 in the various wards/units of St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney. [More…]
The nature of these data was verbal communications of student nurses with patients. [More…]
In fact, it is a matter for the States themselves to decide, not one in which there can be anything in the nature of a confrontation between the Federal and State governments, as was represented in another interpretation of my remarks by one newspaper. [More…]
It meant that no longer would there be any opposition of any serious, worthwhile or bothersome nature to the Indonesians by the Australian Government against the violent, aggressive, bloodthirsty actions which they took against the people of East Timor. [More…]
At least in Australia an Indonesian who finds he has something wrong with his visa when he arrives here would be given an opportunity to appeal for habeas corpus or something of that nature in order to try to establish some sort of right. [More…]
Unless someone keeps nagging at the United Nations it will keep pushing that situation to the bottom of the agenda as governments, whatever their nature, have a habit of doing here when they get matters on their plate which they do not like. [More…]
One of the examples of the volatile nature of these nations is that a mob can be hired whenever one wants. [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…]
The Bill also includes provisions of an administrative nature. [More…]
But the nature of the response, both as to tone and to content was unwarranted. [More…]
The Council of Nature Conservation Ministers at its meeting in November 1976 noted the view of Standing Committee that the Ecological and Wetlands Survey proposals by CSIRO did not meet the immediate needs of nature conservation agencies but should be considered as the framework for a broader Australian land inventory, and resolved to accept the need to: [More…]
If so, what was the nature of the discussions and what was the outcome? [More…]
Honourable senators will be aware that there is I think an appeal before the court arising out of a decision regarding the Melbourne University and it is quite possible that the Victorian Government may wish to await the result of the appeal to see what the effective nature of the legislation should be. [More…]
I was warned of this matter during the day and I sent a communication to the Leader of the Government in the Senate about the devastation that was likely to be caused in Western Australia because of the unusual nature of that cyclone. [More…]
Whilst I can understand the historic nature of the legislation before us, I am of the opinion that it fails to attain the objectives which the Government has so clearly announced to the Australian people both previously and in the Minister’s second reading speech. [More…]
It is clear that on several occasions the Government has attempted to manoeuvre around the central issue; that it hoped that Mr Bjelke-Petersen would just go away; that he would not persist in his attitude; but as we well know, a person of his nature does not respond to reasonable behaviour. [More…]
After he hit the headlines in the national Press over his remarks about confrontation of a military nature he said he had been talking about this matter in an offhanded and lighthearted way. [More…]
In a reply on 31 October Mr Killoran indicated that he and Mr Brown had had discussions of a verbal nature. [More…]
I believe there has been talk of further tractors for other groups, and perhaps a launch of a suitable nature for one group who would feel that it would be more suitable for their purposes. [More…]
The official reason for moving the Aboriginals was that sewerage could not be installed in the Herberton area because of its hilly nature, that the local night soil collection was about to cease and that everybody would have to have septic systems attached to his home. [More…]
I would not support uncontrolled self-management but I point out the deceptive nature of the proposition and why this Bill must go through the crucible of intense parliamentary examination. [More…]
I am advised that my colleague the Minister for Transport approved the introduction by East-West Airlines of a promotional fare on the Sydney-Alice Springs route, that is, a fare that has some qualifications attached to it in the nature of travel. [More…]
It seems to me that whenever legislation of this nature comes into the Parliament we get the sort of speech from Senator Wood which we have just heard. [More…]
I am sure that they are well intentioned amendments and I understand the purpose of the Opposition in moving them, namely, that if we fix a date and if reserves are of that size and nature at that date. [More…]
If the Premier is disposed to destroy the reserves, to make them cease to exist as reserves, to reduce them in size or to do anything of this nature, that is serious and drastic action which, I suppose, would have its own curious political consequences. [More…]
It may well be that the reserves will vary in their size and nature. [More…]
The purpose of our amendment is to offer some protection particularly to the remote Aboriginal communities which may be dissatisfied either with the nature of services delivered or the manner of their delivery. [More…]
I have no doubt about the nature of the title - [More…]
In addition, in the case of individual clients who are accepted for assistance of a non-vocational nature, consideration will be given to providing services which complement those of other community-based agencies for the handicapped. [More…]
Equally, those honourable senators who understand the nature of the deficit will understand, as the Treasurer has said, that it is not the size of the deficit but its management that is important. [More…]
I am not informed of its nature. [More…]
I think any figures which have been cited are of a speculative nature. [More…]
Equally I am aware that there must be a significant extra fuel consumption because of the mechanical nature of the process to control emission and I would accept that probably the extra percentage cost is as the honourable senator says. [More…]
I think it is appropriate that on the presentation of this report, although it is referring to what is happening in another place, we take the opportunity to set down what some of us think about what should be the procedures in the Senate because it seems to me that if we make any move at all towards the broadcasting of adjournment debates there would go with it automatically the requirement to alter the nature of our adjournment debate and to alter the way in which it is conducted- to alter the structure of the debate, lt would be unthinkable, for example, for us to keep the present format of debate under which an honourable senator can, if he wishes, rise to his feet and address the Senate for 30 or 40 minutes if the matter is of sufficient importance. [More…]
I hope that we will have an opportunity further to consider this question, particularly in relation to the very nature of the sorts of issues which are discussed in the course of the adjournment debate. [More…]
One wonders who would be listening to a broadcast of this kind at 1 1 p.m. or 11.30 p.m., particularly when one considers the generally parochial nature of issues which are raised here. [More…]
He could make a personal explanation or something of that nature. [More…]
The complex nature of the industry demands immediate attention by the Government. [More…]
I suppose every Commonwealth public servant in Australia will take exception to my saying that, but I am quite sure that very few public servants have to deal with a Bill of this nature in the Parliament. [More…]
Another matter relates to the nature of the charges. [More…]
I said that the approach by the Premiers in this area was, by its very nature, on the basis of infrastructure financing. [More…]
I am well aware of the keen interest of Senator Bishop and indeed of all South Australian senators in this matter and I am also well aware of the desirability of providing alternative work of a specific nature for people in Whyalla, particularly people who have suffered loss as a result of the decline in the shipbuilding industry. [More…]
The feasibility of the laser enrichment technique has been demonstrated overseas on the milligram scale using atomic uranium vapour, but this approach is complicated by the low efficiency of the required lasers, the high temperatures involved and the corrosive nature of uranium vapour. [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…]
This legislation, although fairly specific in nature, is intended to permit the Corporation to expand its borrowing capacity. [More…]
I was approached then about nurseries in the Huon area bringing forward young stock for replanting: A few moments ago Senator Walsh spoke of the fluctuations of Mother Nature. [More…]
As has been said before, it is more in the nature of a machinery Bill. [More…]
In the past, at these times the Corporation has had liquidity problems because of the uneven nature of its income from the levies to which Senator Walters has been referring. [More…]
On page 12 of the report there is a paragraph dealing with the nature of training and education. [More…]
Again, I think that is putting the can before the horse, and I believe that it would be difficult to substantiate that argument in regard to a training program of this nature. [More…]
The courses will cover a wide range of activities and although the course structures have still to be developed in their final detail, it is considered that they will fall into two main categories: Basic full-time courses or programs for deck engineer and radio officer entrants to the shipping industry and for trainees for the larger and more sophisticated shipping vessels; and ‘open’ programs of short special courses of an updating or refresher nature for serving marine officers in the shipping and fishing industries, the marine and port authorities and associated industries. [More…]
They will involve intensive training of a highly vocational nature, and most will involve a residential requirement. [More…]
As Senator Rae said, although we have rich resources in these areas they are generally, because of the narrowness of our continental shelf and because of the migratory nature of many of the fish there, they are not, in fact, as rich as many of the Northern Hemisphere areas were and must be carefully husbanded. [More…]
There will also be part time programs of a shorter and more specialised nature for serving maritime officers in the shipping and fishing industries, as well as for those people who may require such training in maritime industries, port authorities and associated industries. [More…]
Groups leave material of a very varied nature and whatever is left there for women to read and mull over is not necessarily endorsed by the Centre; nor is it necessarily endorsed by ACSPA. [More…]
In view of the co-operative nature of the Scheme, it is desirable that insured persons contribute equitably. [More…]
I thank the Opposition for again bringing this matter to our attention and giving us the opportunity of examining again the paucity, weakness and pitiful nature of its policies and particularly of highlighting the policy of centralism which almost brought this country to the step of ruin between 1972 and 1975. [More…]
For the Minister to suggest that the only time there had been a growth component in income tax in Australia was in the Whitlam years is in my view a misleading statement to make in a debate of this nature because in fact income tax has been growing steadily budget by budget ever since the end of the war, and particularly in the inflationary years. [More…]
I think that in a debate of this nature we on the Government side are afforded the opportunity of reviewing the three years during which federalism has been in operation, giving the necessary examples and statistics to prove the great benefits bestowed on the States and local government. [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…]
A member who has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter being considered or about to be considered by the Council, otherwise than as a member of, and in common with the other member of, an incorporated company which consists of more than 25 persons and of which he is not a director, shall, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Council. [More…]
Those of us who have been through universities will be well aware that it is part of the established nature of the university, except for one aberration that has emerged in recent times. [More…]
In view of the seasonal nature of the meat processing industry, it would be important to have some idea about the period over which it had been operating profitably. [More…]
In answer to the interjection, nobody can guarantee human nature but, as Senator Primmer will know, we will try to the extent we can with the best of good will to do so. [More…]
When the Authority was created in 1957, it was recognised that disputes of an industrial nature within the waterfront should come within the jurisdiction of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. [More…]
Certain disciplinary powers were given to the Authority but disputes of an industrial nature were still the province of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. [More…]
Charter operators, by their very nature, cannot expect to be given a guaranteed monopoly by [More…]
However, the question is of a broad nature and detailed follow-up surveys would be necessary to produce sufficiently accurate analyses for specific planning purposes. [More…]
The honourable senator is correct in indicating that the nature of such a service is a highly sensitive thing. [More…]
In essence it states that ‘it is improbable that gradual changes in the nature of the world wool supply will depress price’. [More…]
A further problem arises in this case in respect of the nature of the charges. [More…]
The differences between the nature of a conspiracy charge in this country and the nature of a conspiracy charge in Greece have not been explained to or understood by the people in the Greek community. [More…]
This feeling has arisen partly out of the unfortunate nature of some of the publicity this case has been given. [More…]
The fact that the arrests and the investigations that have been conducted have been predominantly concerned with people who would describe themselves as members of the Greek community arises from the nature of the alleged fraud against the social security system. [More…]
A letter was sent to each person concerned- not to an indiscriminate group of people, but to people who should, in the opinion of the Commonwealth Police, be subjected to investigation because of the nature of the conspiracy which they were investigatingone letter to persons receiving sickness benefits and one to persons who receive the invalid pension. [More…]
In relation to the nature of the charges, Senator Grimes asked why these people have been charged with conspiracy. [More…]
I only hope that all people who do understand the charge under the Australian Crimes Act will see that there is no misunderstanding in this country or in any other as to the nature of the charge. [More…]
If in fact, he wants to rely on that minute, I invite him to table it for the Parliament so that not only he but all of us may know its nature, its existence, its authenticity, Then we can evaluate it. [More…]
Then, of course, there is the question of substitution, relative pricing and so on, and the long term nature of the whole project. [More…]
Instead of expanding public capital expenditure of that nature we find that this Government, in the area of forestry as well as in a number of other areas, actually plans to wind back on public capital expenditure during a recessionary period. [More…]
I also observe in passing that I find it somewhat ironic that Sir Charles Court of all people should be advocating that an Australian government should borrow money overseas to stimulate capital investment of a governmental nature in Australia. [More…]
I strongly urge any honourable senators on the other side who are willing to take the rational view of this matter, and unwilling just to pass the buck as Senator Archer proposes to do, to vote for the amendment that we have moved; firstly, because it ensures that there will be reasonable continuity in the volume of plantings which are required to provide self-sufficiency, and secondly, because at this time, with the economy deep in recession, there is an extraordinarily good case for public capital investment of this nature. [More…]
Therefore I support the proposal which is in line with the function of the Senate, namely to take into consideration these proposals, to discuss them with whatever witnesses are available and then, as a committee composed of both sides of the chamber does, come to a judgment as to the reliability of these assessments and whether or not we would be wise to curtail an expenditure, insignificant in the general budget, of about $5m a year, say for the program of the next agreement- five yearswhen the demand for employment of this nature is imperative. [More…]
It was not considered that private forestry may have been an alternative to government intervention, given the long-term nature of the investment, the relatively low rate of return . [More…]
It was not considered that private forestry may have been an alternative to government intervention given the longterm nature of the investment, the relatively low rate of return. [More…]
Clearly the nature of the industry, the long-term investment period and other factors necessitated Government assistance. [More…]
Senator Wriedt asked for information relating to specific correspondence and specific approaches, in terms of nature and dates, from the Prime Minister to the Premiers, not from the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister in Federal Affairs. [More…]
To ensure a full and open public disclosure of details of the acquisitions, and the nature and purpose of all developments planned for the area in question; [More…]
It is not for me as a Minister at this distance to evaluate the pluses or minuses of the project and it is not for anyone else to do so without a knowledge of the environmental impact study, without a knowledge of the report from the Foreign Investment Review Board and without knowing what are basically the terms of the agreement with the Queensland Government and what is in the small print as to the nature of the undertaking, the involvement of the Australian people, whether it will be something that will create substantial employment for Australians and whether it can attract considerable tourism to Australia. [More…]
Because of the specialised nature of some stamp printing presses, alternative equipment is not always available to meet emergencies such as that which occurred in this instance. [More…]
Senator Button will know that the nature of the Schools Commission report is such that it foreshadows continuing debate. [More…]
I do not wish to say anything further except to re-state the position of the Opposition, namely, that we do not believe that decisions of this nature should be taken in the quite arbitrary manner in which this decision has been taken. [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…]
I am aware of the nature of the question relating to the protection of the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
Will he point out to the Minister that nature itself is one of the greatest destroyers of the reef? [More…]
Will he also point out to the Minister that nature rebuilds and that that reef is as good today as it ever was. [More…]
I am aware, as I think we all are, that nature provides a balance in the ecosystem and that within the biological framework of nature there is constant destruction and constant rebuilding. [More…]
In this matter the Minister has taken into account the nature of the work to be carried out at the special session and the structure of the meeting. [More…]
Statements of this nature must be made in the Parliament every so often. [More…]
It is also very easy to fall into the trap of point scoring from a statement of this nature. [More…]
The very title of the statement- A Year of Change and Challenge- lends itself to the nature of the speech we have heard. [More…]
Australia is fairly efficient in raising softwoods, and I just do not know how we can look a long way ahead, particularly when over the last few years the amount of softwood that has been used indoors in furniture and things of that nature has changed considerably. [More…]
The Government will give close consideration to the findings and recommendations arising from any inquiry into the timber industry of the nature proposed by Senator Rae. [More…]
Many individual cane growers on the North Coast of New South Wales, particularly in the Tweed River Valley, are concerned about how they will be able to finance a proposition of that nature- if it exists- and about what sort of levy will be imposed on them, bearing in mind their reduced returns. [More…]
One other thing that I should mention is that I believe that in any arrangements of this nature that are made the Government should ensure the protection of the cane growers and the workers who have worked for CSR Ltd. [More…]
New Zealand and Australian officials have been consulting for some time on the nature of the changes. [More…]
In the first place, within the past 24 hours the Queensland Premier has said that the only alterations to the proposed local government legislation are of a very minor nature. [More…]
If the Premier says that, they will be of a very minor nature. [More…]
Two months in which we can change the nature of the way in which Aborigines will live in Queensland in the future seems to me to be a very short period of time, given the energy expended by the Minister himself and by others working for the Aborigines, to pursue this matter to an ultimate conclusion. [More…]
To consider that we are living in a country in which we ought to be seeking confrontation with a State government seems to me again to overlook the nature of our country. [More…]
The Director of the Department replied pointing out that the department manual provided that no purchase of an unusual nature such as houses, motor cars, horses, boats et cetera were to be made without reference to the office, reporting the full facts, and if the items purchased were second hand, an independent valuation of the items to be purchased had to be forwarded, and withheld Barry’s savings. [More…]
It is quite premature to discuss an MPI of this nature today. [More…]
If he is told that the increased risk is merely the same as any one of the above list, particularly perhaps the last, he would probably consider himself, and be considered by others, to be of exceptionally timorous nature . [More…]
We pat ourselves on the back about technology, but Mother Nature beats us to it every time. [More…]
Quite clearly, the lengthier debate would take place on the nature of the codes, which may be dealt with in the Senate when the Government brings them forward as regulations. [More…]
From the nature of the work she was performing, I believe she demonstrated her willingness to work. [More…]
In the meantime, not knowing what to do about her unemployment benefit, or her lack of unemployment benefit, and because of her nature, her education, and not being willing to lie down and take this sort of thing, she contacted the office of the Department of Social Security. [More…]
In answer to that general question, the Government has no proposal before it at present; certainly no proposal that would relate to incidents that may have occurred, or anything of that nature. [More…]
Nature Reserve. [More…]
The very nature of uranium raises questions in the minds of people. [More…]
I take in mind all the horror that has been conjured up by those honourable senators who have spoken, and the risks, and the words that have come from my side of the chamber, by people who are better informed, as to the minimal nature of those risks. [More…]
In a matter so important to the public, the general people, as this one I believe, daunted as 1 am by the primitive nature of our institutions as compared with the advanced nature of solution to scientific questions, that in a democracy we have to maintain the true office of parliament. [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…]
Finally, the Bill makes provision for some minor changes of a machinery nature. [More…]
We will miss him also as a senator, for the very nature of the contribution he makes to debates, particularly his contributions about detailed clauses of Bills. [More…]
So I suggest that the true nature of the Bill needs to be looked at. [More…]
However we may not, I think, claim that it has anything to do with the nature of ordinary liberals in Victoria as opposed to those in other States. [More…]
Because of the nature of their confidentiality, my colleague does not propose to comment on them. [More…]
It should be noted that the Queensland Government and its Premier decided that they would not hold a debate of this nature when the media was available to report it faithfully. [More…]
When they come from a white person, obviously they must be racist in nature. [More…]
If anybody enters into public debates of this nature it is essential that he tells the truth. [More…]
The Queensland Government’s policy of assimilation, by its very nature, is destructive of Aboriginal culture. [More…]
I say to the healthy, the wealthy, the young and the fit that that payment will inevitably be transferred to those who are less well off and to those who, because of the nature of their illness, will not be able to enter into this sort of an arrangement. [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…]
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…]
It has been interesting to find out what is the justification for using the Atomic Energy Act 1953- an Act largely of a defence nature- which set up the Atomic Energy Commission and which places very great power in the hands of the executive Government. [More…]
the president of the board of management of Campus Community Broadcasting Association Incorported (licensee of radio 2XX) Miss Claire McGrath, said yesterday that 2XX had a firm policy that material of a racist or sexist nature should not be broadcast. [More…]
We’ll now hear something from the same album of a much more serious nature.’ [More…]
In this sense I believe this segment was of an educational nature. [More…]
I remind the Senate of Ms McGrath’s words, quoted earlier, that station 2XX allegedly had a firm policy that material of a racist or sexist nature should not be broadcast. [More…]
The attitude of the sexologists at the conference was that paedophilia and paederasty as such were not necessarily detrimental of themselves and, in fact, that some very valuable relationships throughout history have developed between older and younger people of this nature. [More…]
However, with the society’s attitudes as they are at present, the damage that can be done is more of a psychological nature- the youngster concerned starting to feel guilty and an outcast and a misfit and to that extent there was concern expressed as to facilitating or approving such relationships. [More…]
I regard any minutes by me to my Department to be of a confidential nature in line with my Ministerial responsibility and / do not propose to make it public [More…]
I think the correct step for South Australia is properly to assess the nature of the infrastructure necessary and to put the priorities that it considers necessary into a form of submission to the Loan Council. [More…]
I do not immediately recall the precise nature of the question and answer on this matter that has flown between Senator Colston and myself. [More…]
The statement follows an earlier statement a fortnight ago in which the Foreign Minister indicated the nature of the agreement which the two countries had reached. [More…]
As I have indicated, they are of a machinery nature and will up-date the statute book. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that when the tariff proposals were introduced in another place a comprehensive summary in respect of each of the proposals was circulated to senators which set out the nature of the change in duty rates and the origin of each change. [More…]
I have read out in full the amendment which I have moved on behalf of the Opposition because it explains the nature of our opposition to clause 6 as it is presented in this Bill by the Government. [More…]
Land in a State shall not, without the consent of the State, be acquired by the Commonwealth for the purposes of this Parliament if it is land that is dedicated or reserved under a law of the 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…]
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 of areas having special significance in relation to Aboriginals. [More…]
The matter I wish to raise- I do not think it concerns a hypothetical situation- is whether under the new system according to this legislation the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, like any State government, would line up in the queue to partake of any nature conservation grants that were made from time to time.

If the Federal National Parks and Wildlife Service puts up the argument that the Northern Territory should receive a nature conservation grant, would the spending of any grant apportioned be on a team spirit basis by the two park systems? [More…]
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 . [More…]
an area of land owned or held under lease by the Commonwealth, including any such area that has been dedicated or reserved under a law of a Territory for the purposes of a national park, nature reserve, protected area or wildlife sanctuary or for similar purposes: (aa) an area of Aboriginal land held under lease by the Director; ‘; [More…]
This would occur particularly because of the highly sensitive nature of the area concerned. [More…]
Senator Baume seems to be confused about the nature of our opposition. [More…]
My colleague Senator Melzer in an earlier debate on uranium spelt out in great detail the nature of radon gas and its disastrous consequences in all sorts of ways. [More…]
In an article in the Sydney Morning Herald on 9 May this year Sir Mark Oliphant gave his expert view on the nature of radon gas, and said: [More…]
The Opposition of course is very unhappy about the nature of that law; nonetheless we recognise the reality that this law is being developed to control this highly hazardous industry. [More…]
They are not sealed in glass, they are not in salt formations, they are not deliberately put where it is safest; they occur in random places where Mother Nature decided to put them. [More…]
There are radioactive substances produced not by the Pentagon, but by Mother Nature, which are far more dangerous than plutonium. [More…]
Today we are debating three Bills which are essentially environmental in nature. [More…]
So, the general nature of the argument has been distorted. [More…]
Some subsequent correspondence passed between the Appeals Tribunal and me but it was purely of an administrative nature and is not relevant to the argument I am developing. [More…]
Considerations of this nature, of course, are dependent primarily on the projected demand for freight and passenger services from railways, and in this regard, it is considered that the rolling stock industry in Australia has more than enough capacity available now to meet the assessed demand for rolling stock after due allowance has been made for a realistic rate of growth in the requirement for rail services. [More…]
There would also be significant under capacity utilisation from time to time arising from the wide fluctuation in demand for rolling stock and the irregular nature of order placements. [More…]
My further advice is that stated simply this Act will enable the Federal Court of Australia at the instance of an aggrieved person to review, firstly, decisions of an administrative nature made under an enactment, secondly, conduct engaged in or proposed to be engaged in for the purpose of making such a decision and, thirdly, failure to make such a decision in a case where there is a duty to do so. [More…]
There have been dramatic developments in the volume and nature of consular work in the past two decades. [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 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 which were moved and accepted in the Senate to the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1973. [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…]
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…]
I make one other comment about the Convention, which I suppose is in the nature of a pious hope. [More…]
1 have the very strong suspicion that that Convention will not deal with important issues, such as the nature of Commonwealth industrial power, the nature of Commonwealth economic powers, the nature of Commonwealth foreign affairs powers, and matters of that kind which were dealt with in 1958, apparently as matters of importance then. [More…]
Senator BUTTON (Victoria)-by leave-The Minister has perhaps been more specific about the nature of the problem than I was. [More…]
In the face of widespread concern both in Australia and in the world, the Government has, on this fundamental issue of the importance of safety codes in the development of uranium mining, backed away- in the pursuit of some peculiar notion of its own, derived perhaps from Montesquieu and Adam Smith about the nature of the separation of powers and the desirability of having regard to the views of the States. [More…]
I acknowledge that I indicated the nature of all of the amendments. [More…]
The island contains many significant sites of a mythological nature. [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…]
Where films or ideas exist which by a large area of opinion seem significant and well worth making, but which by their nature would be difficult to finance in the private sector, their commercial viability of course remains a factor, but not the only factor. [More…]
The Commission felt that 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…]
From that outline of the various steps we will be taking, I am sure honourable members will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this package. [More…]
My concern is not so much with the amateur operators as with the fact that because of the high-powered nature of this sort of equipment- I have been trying to stress that point in what I have said up to this stage- these units are able to block emergency channels. [More…]
It is wrong to think that nurture is more important than nature; to think that education and improved social conditions will beat nature. [More…]
Each person from every race represents his own small individual slice of history, unique and unrepeatable and only nature can afford to play the huge genetic lotteries of genetic selection. [More…]
Nature follows inexorable laws. [More…]
No solution to racial problems will be found by a falsification of the laws of nature or the evidence of history. [More…]
For integration to succeed a new society flying in the face of nature would have to be created, a society born equally of black and white minds, a society abondoning white ways and technological progress, a society reverting to agrarian pursuits. [More…]
what is the specific nature of any such agreement and when was it made. [More…]
Section 2 1 of the Parliamentary Retiring Allowances Act provides that, where a person, entitled to a retiring allowance or annuity under the Act, receives salary or an allowance in the nature of salary or pension as a member or former member of a State Parliament or as a Minister of State of a State, the rate of the Commonwealth retiring allowance or annuity shall be reduced by the rate of the State salary, allowance or pension, as the case may be. [More…]
At the same time it was made clear that the Australian Government, while it recognised the desirability of further investment in newsprint production being located where it would make the best use of the combined resources of the New Zealand-Australia Free Trade Area, had no constitutional authority to influence the location or nature of such further investment. [More…]
This problem has arisen because of the size and nature of the aircraft on the particular airstrip and presumably because of particular wind conditions at the time. [More…]
I think a number of legislative measures concerning the appointment of commissioners, the role of the General Manager and the source and nature of funding could achieve that removal from party political interference. [More…]
To suggest, because there is a movement of people in the creative arts, that it is something to do either with strangulation of funds or pressure by government is to fail to understand the nature of the creative artist, the journalist and the person who moves. [More…]
The fact is that every honourable senator knows- nobody more so than Senator James Mcclelland, who has shared with me many interesting years of examination of the Australian Broadcasting Commission and its services- that the structure is such that only an imperfection in the character and nature of the Commissioners themselves could bring about - [More…]
But people have recognised that such a dream has no place for human nature. [More…]
These are the people who very often have been forced to sell assets whether they be landed assets or assets of a rural estate or of an industrial nature. [More…]
Such is the nature of the individual in this society, who seeks to protect beyond his death the assets that he has accumulated, having made no provision in his own time for the protection, education and support of members of his family who have had to survive themselves by their own efforts. [More…]
-That is the nature of the two parties. [More…]
We can see from that fact the highly regressive nature of this legislation. [More…]
While supporting this motion, nonetheless we ought to recognise the thin nature of the popular support for constitutional change at present. [More…]
There is a need for us in a period of relative calm in this country to face up to the problems of our Constitution- the outdated nature of some of its terms; the fact that there are unresolved issues that have caused a great deal of crisis in Australia in recent years- and regard those matters as urgent matters that should be calling on people of goodwill to find solutions. [More…]
The nature of mankind and the nature of politics does not change overmuch. [More…]
Radio licences of a general nature- that is, those within the commercial field- come before the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal at regular intervals. [More…]
I must confess that the precise nature of appeal for such a change escapes me for the moment. [More…]
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…]
We 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…]
I pass that remark merely because I think that, if one participates in debates of this nature, one must be consistent. [More…]
The fact that the Aboriginal and other delegates, many of whom are well known in the academic world, saw fit to produce a statement of that nature indicates quite clearly that there is wide-ranging support for land rights for Aborigines. [More…]
The Senate will recall that last October when a Bill of this nature came into this chamber, I sought and obtained from Senator Sir Robert Cotton, who was then the Minister responsible for that Bill, considerable information which is set out on page 1315 of the Senate Hansard of 12 October 1977. [More…]
Perhaps it is time that greater consideration was given to the nature and timing of the whole budgetary process. [More…]
I suggest that an ex-gratia payment, by its very nature, can be neither ordinary nor annual. [More…]
In summary, that Bill provides, firstly, that the Council of the University shall not authorise a students representative council to expend moneys raised by the University for the provision of amenities or services unless the governing body of that Council is elected by students in an election at which not less than one quarter of the students entitled to vote have voted; secondly, that the Council of the University is to have a duty to ensure that any moneys it makes available to a student organisation for the provision of amenities and services are applied bona fide to the provision of amenities and services of direct benefit to the University; thirdly, that the Council is to have published and freely available to students at least twice a year an audited statement as to the amount of fees paid by students for amenities or services that are not of an academic nature, the organisations to which any part of these moneys have been paid and the purposes for which they have been expended; and fourthly, a provision that no person shall be required to be a member of any body or organisation in order to entitle him to be admitted as a student or to graduate. [More…]
I am suggesting for a start that we have a look at the British system in the House of Commons where before each session the Government has to give an indication to the Parliament of the Bills, except those of an emergency nature which may arise from time to time, that are to be brought in during that session so that members of the Parliament know a month, two months or three months in advance what the legislative program of the Government is to be. [More…]
Members of the scheme will be required to contribute 11 per cent of the additional salary, or allowance in the nature of salary, received as a Minister or office holder. [More…]
The Bill also contains some amendments of a drafting nature. [More…]
I do not intend to speak at any length on the Bill, but I think it should be said that every time a benefit accrues to parliamentarians there is some criticism, mainly from people who do not understand fully the nature of the lives we lead and the profession we follow. [More…]
They also reflect the nature of the profession- the impermanency of the career and the very real sacrifices that are made in many ways. [More…]
I think it would be accepted that the Department of Defence is a large and widely dispersed organisation and that replies to questions of the nature that were asked by the Senate Estimates Committee required clearance at numerous levels throughout the Department. [More…]
I have not had possession of that survey so I do not know its basis or its nature other than as reported in the Press. [More…]
As to the nature of the survey itself, for my part I believe that the best survey was carried out originally by the Karmel Committee and subsequently by the Schools Commission. [More…]
Senator Townley ‘s question reminds me that he has had a long term interest in the nature, size and durability of our currency- both paper currency and minted coins. [More…]
Again, if the helicopter enterprise or initiative can be shown to be of an entirely different nature from that of the hovercraft enterprise, then by all means the Senate will support it, especially in an area where communication is absolutely necessary. [More…]
That was the nature of the undertaking. [More…]
The honourable senator raised the point about a precedent for the payment of costs in cases of a criminal nature. [More…]
However, sales and purchases made during the year must also be taken into account in arriving at the appellant ‘s taxable income; the proceeds of any sales of stocks and shares must be included in the assessable income and the expenditure incurred in the purchase of stocks and shares- which by s. 51 (2) is not to be treated as an outgoing of capital or of a capital nature- is to be deducted. [More…]
From inquiries which I asked my Department to make, it has not been able to establish that any activities of the nature described by Senator Wheeldon have in fact occurred. [More…]
Not only has Mr Wran made utterances of that nature but also as recently as yesterday, on the AM program, I heard Sir Charles Court, before going overseas seeking investment pleading for a stimulus on the part of the Federal Government because of the present economic situation. [More…]
An understanding of the nature of the problem would indicate that the Government, with the help of the people- all the people- is slowly and surely bringing the country towards the fantastic potential that it has. [More…]
The issue between us has never been the fact of immigration but the quantum and nature of intake. [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…]
The Commonwealth has appropriated 5367,144.000 to the States in 1978 specifically for government school programs and $139,443,000 (December 1977 prices) of this amount is for projects of a capital nature. [More…]
The extent and nature of the problem, however, will be defined more clearly on completion of the Department’s survey. [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…]
He visited me last Saturday week- less than two weeks ago- and said that he had no part in the statement that came out in his name and that in future if any statement of a political nature or of a nature relating to the type of discussion that is before us today comes out in his name it should be ignored because it will be put out without his confirmation. [More…]
Regardless of the political nature of the situation, in fairness to the people of the Territory- I have said this before- we should ensure that the people in the outback get reasonable representation and that the electorates become no bigger than they are now. [More…]
The Speaker interrupted and said that the question was out of order but because of the nature of the question he would permit an answer to be given by the Acting Prime Minister. [More…]
It has a tensile nature and is non-flammable. [More…]
Other aspects are far-reaching in their nature and, perhaps once implemented, would be unable to be reversed if other procedures were subsequently found to be preferable. [More…]
I do not know the nature of the fees which he seeks to dispute. [More…]
Thirdly, it then went to some length to conceal its involvement in actions of a dubious nature. [More…]
The Williamstown Rifle Range is near the Wiltona Hostel and its sale with the hostel, as a package deal, makes attractive the proposition to accept Wiltona Hostel, which otherwise might be described as something of the nature of a white elephant. [More…]
All the States from Queensland to Western Australia are a wake up to the real nature of the deal. [More…]
Only in some cases are the exempt documents defined by reference to the nature of the document itself, such as Cabinet and Executive Council documents. [More…]
Except in those cases where a document is in an exempt category by reason of its nature, the Bill requires a decision to refuse access to a document to be made on the balance of publicinterests involved. [More…]
We have a great advantage in Australia by the very nature of our multicultural society. [More…]
That has had several repercussions of an undesirable nature with which we are all familiar, such as increased unemployment. [More…]
Is that another provision whereby the Federal Government will say: ‘You will introduce legislation of a nature which only we will approve’? [More…]
If the Government wishes to change radically the nature of health insurance in this country, the least it can do is to present these changes in legislation which can be fully debated and discussed in the Parliament and not through regulation to which the Parliament and the general community have not nearly so much access through general and open discussion. [More…]
This matter was raised by Senator Ryan, who inquired as to the nature of the health screening services that would cease to attract medical benefits. [More…]
To suggest that governments have some source of funds which do not come from the people and that they can bear a burden of cost which ultimately is not paid by the people is to overlook the real nature of government revenue. [More…]
In the 1950s people who had trade union aspirations found it very costly to privately subscribe to a variety of publications, which might have included such business-oriented journals as Rydge’s and other publications of that nature. [More…]
Most trade union members in big industry have the choice of reading Tribune, Vanguard, Direct Action and publications of that nature on payday, and if they want to get a bit of leavening they can even have access to Newsweek. [More…]
There has been no misappropriation of money or anything of that nature. [More…]
I will, however, say something of a personal nature. [More…]
The Bill further provides that 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 inquiry or illness and the estimated duration of the absence. [More…]
I conclude by raising the issue of the mandatory nature of the stand down clauses which will apply under this legislation. [More…]
His life was gentle, and the elements so mix’d in him, that nature might stand up, and say to all the world; this was a man . [More…]
No matter what the differences are in this placeand there are times when we have to play it hard; it is the nature of the game we are in- I am sure that we would all share the sentiments he has expressed. [More…]
Records of this nature are not maintained by my Department. [More…]
The extent and nature of the problem will however be defined more clearly on completion of the Department’s survey. [More…]
This research, although of a general nature, does also have some application to the manufacture of specialty cheeses. [More…]
Sir, in your past service as President you have brought to your office a dignity, an impartiality, indeed a wisdom, but above all a sensitivity to the true and unique nature of this Senate and its traditions. [More…]
Amongst the many events in his life there are two which were of major importance and which conveyed the real nature of the man. [More…]
Does the Government monitor the amount of funds flowing out of Australia for the purpose of establishing offshore ventures; if so, what is the nature of the information received. [More…]

Information obtained by the Bank on direct investment overseas includes country of investment, nature of overseas enterprise, and form, purpose and amount of investment. [More…]
Participation by OTC(A) was of a marketing nature to promote the services it provides, and a proposed new service, to an important market segment which generates considerable revenue to OTC(A). [More…]
However, in the circumstances and in the nature of the reports’ such an approach is not appropriate. [More…]
In response to a request from Mr J. McMillan, Lecturer in Law at the University of New South Wales, on 15 August 1977 for access to the report, I advised Mr McMillan on 8 September that I would not release the report of the interdepartmental committee established to advise the Government on the constitutional, financial and administrative issues associated with the transfer of executive responsibility to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly because its contents were very much in the nature of policy advice proffered to the Government for its deliberation. [More…]
400, Policy Proposals for Freedom of Information LegislationReport of Interdepartmental Committee-November 1976’, and the provisions of clause twenty-six of the Freedom of Information Bill introduced into Parliament on 9 June, which provides that matter in the nature of, or relating to, opinion, advice or recommendation prepared for the deliberative processes involved in the functions of the Government, disclosure of which would be contrary to the public interest, should be exempt from mandatory access. [More…]
It is pointed out that much of the detail involved is of a commercially confidential nature and cannot be publicly recorded without breach of confidence. [More…]
The provision of proportionate subsidies by the Australian Government to political panics 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; and [More…]
It was quiet clear from the nature of the material that was being provided to us that there were major conflicts and that the most appropriate way of resolving them was by holding a judicial proceeding. [More…]
I indicated that income of such a nature earned by a child would reduce or eliminate the amount of the family allowance that would be paid to the families involved. [More…]
The Minister must be a very disappointed lady today, to have to participate again in a debate of this nature. [More…]
It is essential that the Commonwealth receive guarantees of this nature if we are to be confident in our own minds that there is to be proper self-management at these two communities. [More…]
Sometimes I think that I am a student of human nature, but for the life of me I cannot understand that man who governs Queensland. [More…]
They lived absolutely in harmony with nature. [More…]
When I go to Gove today I do not see a happy people living in harmony with nature. [More…]
I would simply reiterate the nature of the Bill in the face of the remarks of the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Wriedt). [More…]
I recognise that because of the nature of joint committees a similar provision for the rights of Independents and minority senators, or indeed for any named group of senators to nominate, is not appropriate in those circumstances. [More…]
It is considered that the nature of the research work to be carried out by the research officers should be under the direction of the respective Committees and their Chairmen. [More…]
The position this chamber has taken in the past in relation to a number of Bills of a complicated nature- not necessarily just technical Bills but Bills containing a high policy content which are nevertheless of a very detailed and complicated nature- has already set the precedent of referring such Bills to one or other of its standing committees for consideration and report instead of adopting the procedure of debate in the Senate or in the Committee of the Whole. [More…]
Its early recommendation may need to be that the matter under investigation is of such a complex nature, so many submissions have been received and so much time is likely to be taken up that it ought to be referred to a select committee. [More…]
At the time I suggested that there was a degree of hysteria about the whole matter and that the flamboyance and very obvious nature of the security in force did not by any means bring about the best form of security. [More…]
A new survey of a similar nature is currently being conducted in both Sydney and Melbourne so as to upgrade the results of the 1975 survey. [More…]
Formal plan approval can occasionally take considerably longer where there appear to be inconsistencies between the nature and standards of the project approved by the Minister and the project submitted by the school for plan approval; any such problems would be resolved by consultation with schools concerned. [More…]
1 ) What was the budget allocation for the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve for each financial year since and including 1974-75. [More…]
The budget allocation (using actual expenditure figures) for the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve since 1974-75 has been: [More…]
In relation to the comments in the Queensland Board of Advanced Education’s annual report of 1977 I am advised that while some delays have occurred in the administration of States Grants (Tertiary Education Assistance) legislation these have been only minor in nature. [More…]
The Government has not however been informed of the nature of these matters. [More…]
Like Senator Archer who has been interjecting, they are very interested in land deals and matters of that nature which are the result of the Government’s policies. [More…]
Legislation will be introduced shortly to implement some of the recommendations of a technical nature. [More…]
In a debate of this nature, bearing in mind the importance of the decision that the Government is taking, one which has basically been accepted by the Opposition, it is to the shame of the honourable member for Denison that he should seek to distort the sound, and basically sympathetic, argument put by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
It does relate directly to something that is called a consular or diplomatic mission or to an institution that purports to provide services of a diplomatic or consular nature, and it is that which I think is important. [More…]
It must be emphasised that in this case it does relate to the particular nature of the institution involved. [More…]
Imperial knighthoods traditionally have been awarded for such euphemistic reasons as services to charity, services to business, services to the Liberal Party and things of that nature. [More…]
The existence of consular representatives like the Consul for Mauretania provides a very significant and important way for Australia in 1976 and beyond to award knighthoods on a proper basis in a multicultural society, because the system of awarding knighthoods of the imperial kind was restricted in its nature. [More…]
It is our belief that these Bills, which are concerned with the proclamation of the 200-mile zone require some further legislation to regulate whaling but do not pre-empt the nature of further legislation to control whaling. [More…]
Whilst the Opposition recognises that even if this amendment were carried it would have no strict legal significance, it is concerned that, given the vague nature of the main Bill which is before us or the enormous areas upon which it says nothing except that the Government will issue regulations, the Government be committed, at least in a moral sense, more firmly to adherence to those guidelines. [More…]
Because of the nature of the marketing the product particularly in Australia there has never been the ability to accrue capital to the families involved. [More…]
To me it seemed to be a proposal of considerable merit given the nature of the South Pacific region and the potential for the development of marine resources. [More…]
Some of these relationships have been of a colonial nature whilst in latter days we have seen the development of commercial and economic issues. [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…]
This need not necessarily be achieved within a single program, though the nature of the subject matter many call for this. [More…]
When goods are found to be dangerous or of a suspect nature or fall within any existing import prohibition, the report of analysis and laboratory comments are drawn to the attention of the client department that referred the matter to AGAL. [More…]
-My question, which is addressed to the Attorney-General, follows an answer given by him to Senator Wriedt a minute or two ago in which he said that Cabinet discussions were privileged unless it was a decision of the Government to disclose the nature of those discussions. [More…]
We are a wealthy country, richly endowed by nature. [More…]
At this point I also blame the Government for its dissimulation in not making the community fully aware of the nature and danger of those challenges. [More…]
Is it an adequate response, particularly given the structural nature of the unemployment that confronts us? [More…]
Dealing in more detail with the ABS publication ‘Labour Force November 1977’, I will cite the number of unemployed to give an indication of the nature of the unemployment we are currently facing. [More…]
I bring those figures to the attention of the Senate to demonstrate the nature of the unemployment crisis. [More…]
I have already dealt with the nature of the first inquiry made by Mr Byers and me. [More…]
It has taken two and a half years for the true nature of the man to be revealed. [More…]
It is important that these basic factors be realised in order that we can understand the nature of this Budget and the reasons why Mr Fraser is becoming increasingly isolated, not only in the Australian community generally, but also within the ranks of his own Party. [More…]
Today the commentators in the community who can be most believed and those who have a full appreciation of the real nature of the problem have appreciated that situation and they have said so. [More…]
Of course, what matters is not government intervention in the economy for its own sake, but rather the nature and quality of that intervention. [More…]
The Minister has reviewed the case following the representations of Senator Mulvihill but, because of the nature of the application and the deception that has been practised, he still does not feel prepared to condone what has been done, one reason being that this would set a precedent for about 100 similar cases. [More…]
Whether it would be appropriate for the inquiry to be conducted by me or by the Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs would depend on the nature of the allegations. [More…]
In spite of many rulings on your part- and I know that you have ruled that nothing can be said against a person notifying a Minister beforehand of the nature of the question to enable him to get the information he requires- what has happened is that prepared questions are now being placed to the Minister so that he can give lengthy answers so as to exclude the right of honourable senators to ask questions. [More…]
If these papers are of a controversial nature and the Government does not want them tabled or the Parliament to have access to them for another fortnight the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Carrick), who is at the table, should say so. [More…]
The only submissions received from South Australia were from Professor W. D. Williams of the University of Adelaide, the National Council of Women of South Australia (Inc.) Adelaide, the Nature Conservation Society of South Australia (Inc.) Adelaide, the South Australian Government and people in the Callington and Strathalbyn districts in South Australia who are concerned with water quality in that area. [More…]

) An appointed Director, or an acting Director, who has a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in a matter considered or about to be considered by the Corporation, otherwise than as a member of, and in common with the other members of, an incorporated company which consists of more than 25 persons and of which he is not a director, shall, as soon as possible after the relevant facts have come to his knowledge, disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Board. [More…]
The honourable senator who has just interjected might realise that those of us who took part in objecting to a Bill of a similar nature which was put forward on the initiative of the Labor Government see a great difference between that Bill and the present one. [More…]
For goodness sake, what are we trying to do with Bills of this nature? [More…]
Further, it has become apparent that people genuinely are concerned about the addictive nature of the habit. [More…]
The Opposition commended the Minister on the fairly comprehensive nature of that statement. [More…]
Government must now surely realise that it should assign to a Minister- a senior Ministerthe sole responsibility of analysing the nature and breaking the back of the structural problems of unemployment that beset Australia. [More…]
The fact that about half of the unemployed are under 2 1 years of age highlights the gravity and structural nature of the problem of unemployment. [More…]
It has been long recognised that insufficient resources and attention have been given to the study of the nature of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, in Australia today. [More…]
Mr Paul Kirby, the First Assistant Secretary of the Manpower and Economic Policy Division of the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations, gave that very warning that there were insufficient resources being devoted to the study and nature of unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, in Australia as far back as August 1976 when addressing the first national conference on technical and further education. [More…]
Such grants are in the nature of united general revenue funds designed to supplement the States’ personal income tax sharing entitlements. [More…]
The Fraser Government although promoting the dispute, cannot permit a dispute of long duration because it shows the impossibility and farcical nature of its whole Industrial Relations Bureau legislation. [More…]
He would understand that periodic payments of any benefits are of a continuing nature and if a payment is continued over from one year to the next- 30 June being the last date in the financial year- the payment is made on the appropriate date in the following year. [More…]
Therefore if there were a lesser number of payments last year, early in July there would be a payment of the periodic nature that had not been made prior to 30 June. [More…]
All honourable senators will share the anxiety that Senator Wheeldon indicates in his question and in the nature of his question as to the disruption of negotiations in Rhodesia. [More…]
The last three matters are largely of a machinery nature and really only tidy up what might be called long-standing inconsistencies. [More…]
By definition, as the Industries Assistance Commission accepted, the whole nature of a resources tax is such that the tax is levied only at such a rate and on excessive profits as would take into account what moneys are required to attract investment to the particular project under consideration. [More…]
I am informed that my predecessor, in response to a request from Mr J. McMillan, Lecturer in Law at the University of New South Wales, on 14 September 1977 advised Mr McMillan that the interdepartmental committee report had been prepared under a confidential classification and access was refused in line with the established practice that reports of this nature, as with all policy advice from officials to Ministers, should remain confidential. [More…]
The Islander people are respected and valued for their ability to work hard at physical labour and the greater majority remain at jobs of a labouring or semi-skilled nature with low expectations and aspirations. [More…]
I am saying that that is the nature of the place. [More…]
Despite all the ranting and raving by the Opposition about the temporary increase in the standard rate of income tax, the outstanding fact that cannot be denied is that this Government has done more to reform the Australian taxation system and to reduce the overall burden on the taxpayer than has any previous government, whether of a coalition nature or a Labor nature. [More…]
Equally important have been the social, economic and political changes which have challenged the nature of society’s dominant institutions and the basis of their authority. [More…]
But he seemed to avoid or to evade the points that were raised that this project was of a particular nature. [More…]
The nature of the tax levy is such that the low income earners suffer more than the high income earners. [More…]
I would venture to say that under our present type of government, with encouragement of that nature, in 50 to 100 years Australia will be in a similar position to that of the United States of America. [More…]
They had an indication that some work of a seasonal nature was available. [More…]
However, as Senator Mulvihill has now raised the matter, I will treat it in the nature of an inquiry, the answer to which is to be sought from the DirectorGeneral of ASIO. [More…]
Therefore, because of the problems that the Government was having on the revenue side, as explained by the Treasurer (Mr Howard) in his Budget Speech- I do not propose to repeat them- it was important that, in order to achieve the necessary reduction in the deficit, the Government, bearing in mind all of its expenditure commitments, continuing and of an inbuilt nature, which I am sure the Opposition would not wish to see reduced further, found it necessary to obtain other sources of revenue. [More…]
I emphasise this because the debate, as I have read it, does not really indicate an understanding on the part of the Opposition as to the nature of, and the reason for the levy. [More…]
However, the people from whom I sought the information expressed the opinion that it was extremely hard to get authentic information of this nature out of a country such as South Africa. [More…]
We have only to look at the Gold Coast of Queensland, and at other parts of Australia, to find that development of this nature has destroyed the local environment, it has destroyed the ecological balance. [More…]
We always have at the back of our minds the fact that there was no understanding of thalidomide, and other things of that nature, for some considerable time. [More…]
One really would need to read the evidence to appreciate the nature of the step that Mr Smith took. [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…]
1 ) Grants were provided to the following States in 1 977-78 for a range of nature conservation purposes under the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act and the Environment (Financial Assistance) Act. [More…]
Will the Minister admit that his answer was also wrong, and will he give an undertaking that in future when quoting figures of this nature he will get clearly in his mind what in fact are the correct figures? [More…]
If we can ensure that the industry receives other benefits and that the home consumption price is made reasonably relative to the overseas price, there will be no necessity for bounties of this nature. [More…]
I suggest to Senator Walsh that if in future we debate Bills of this nature again, as appears likely, he might be of more assistance to all of us if he examines those two contrasting reports and explains to us the basis on which he disagrees with the distinction which has been drawn. [More…]
What hope is there for any preventive health or welfare measures in this area if the Commonwealth slashes the funds and if the States cannot make up the deficiency- as the States of Victoria and Western Australia say they cannot- and if the councils, because of their nature, cannot raise their rates even further? [More…]
I think it is well known that a home care service is a service in the nature of housekeeping or other domestic assistance to persons in their homes. [More…]
Local government by its very nature is well suited to the provision of welfare services and the provision of home care services. [More…]
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…]
The size and nature of the problem facing us is evidenced in information available in the Poverty Commission’s reports on this subject- I refer particularly to health studies of selected disadvantaged groups and homeless persons and the law- together with the excellent document which was recently produced by the Department of Social Security called ‘A Place of Dignity’. [More…]
But these places are stretched to the limit, not only by sheer weight of demand but also by the changing nature of the social problem. [More…]
I hope that community groups and voluntary organisations will be consulted, encouraged and financed in every possible way to assist the homeless and that the true nature and extent of the problem of homelessness- its rapid growth and its association with economic circumstances in this society- will be properly recognised. [More…]
He has used words of that nature to describe certain other people and organisations. [More…]
An eminent scientist who joined the organisation some 39 years ago, Mr Burgmann was appointed Chairman in March 1977 and under his leadership the organisation has continued to work on behalf of Australian industry and the community generally in a way which is probably unsurpassed by any other organisation of its nature anywhere in the world. [More…]
These are the real freedoms, for these are of the essence of the nature of man. [More…]
If the Government wants to argue that the trade union movement should stagger wage adjustments it has to consider other components such as a general food subsidy scheme for meat, butter, bread and items of that nature. [More…]
I just hope that as time goes by he can relate those gems of thought and expression of philosophers and poets of the past 2,000 years or so to human nature and the problems that confront us in a socio-economic situation today. [More…]
It is a relatively simple matter to solve problems in the circumstances of an ivory tower where one is able to cut off those influences which one does not want to consider and consequently to come to conclusions which may appear to be almost infallible, but conclusions which have not taken into account the strength and force of human nature, conclusions and theories which when they are thrown out into the world in which they must prove themselves or not often prove to be relatively ineffective. [More…]
It is indeed my conviction that most Australians believe in the system of free enterprise democracy which is based on the family unit, which admits the profit motive within the law as being satisfactory to the desires and the dictates of human nature, which admits equality of opportunity, which admits that freedom is a relatively meaningless concept unless it is experienced within a properly conceived and majority held and enforced discipline. [More…]
The lease adjoins the northern boundary of Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. [More…]
At present we have no record of the income of children or of families because of the universal nature of the family allowance scheme. [More…]
In view of the detailed nature of the information sought by Senator Walters, I suggest that she place her question on notice so that I can seek further information in detail. [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…]
A number of other amendments of a routine nature are to be made to the principal Act. [More…]
1 ) Expresses its concern at the generally inefficient and ineffective nature of the marketing and promotion of Australian wine overseas and, in particular, notes- [More…]
It is true that the Australian Trade Commissioner Service offers some extra assistance to the wine industry but this is not really of a specialised nature and also it is too limited by the expenditure constraints which such government organisations have imposed on them at this time. [More…]
Therefore I would advise that some person, or persons, well versed in the nature and variety of Australian wines, should be commissioned to visit those countries where our wine could reasonably be expected to have appeal, to clearly identify the local tastes, and to relate their findings to our local products. [More…]
It has been suggested to me that whilst the London wine centre is a worthwhile establishment, it is more in the nature of a wine embassy than a marketing centre. [More…]
One other suggestion which was made to me and which I pass on is the idea of having a label in the nature of a name like ‘Australis’ by which Australia’s wines could be made known overseas. [More…]
-My advice is that at the present time staff working under the Public Service Act in all departments may work flexible hours unless the particular nature of their employment requires them to be on duty at set times. [More…]
I want to relate what I have been saying to the employment problem, to the nature of our industry, the dislocation that has taken place in industry in recent years and the fact that almost 250,000 jobs have virtually disappeared in Australia as a result of the problems facing manufacturing industry. [More…]
There are grounds for believing that production costs are excessive in many industries because production, given the nature of the technology and the size of the market, is fragmented over too many producers and plants. [More…]
Any economic system that cannot provide work of a reasonably suitable nature for those willing and able to work is in need of change. [More…]
Perhaps that was fair enough in view of the special nature of that day. [More…]
I wish to bring the Senate back to the nature of the Bills themselves and to talk about the apple and pear industry, particularly as it affects my State of Tasmania. [More…]
At the time of its establishment there was a great deal of idealism about the nature of this schools system and about how it would develop into being one which was responsive to community needs, in which there was a very high degree of parent participation and professional participation by the teachers in making decisions and, indeed, in which there was a high degree of student participation in the high schools and secondary colleges. [More…]
This is a travesty of democracy and the proposals put up by the Minister for the Capital Territory, Mr Ellicott, do not reduce the nature of that travesty. [More…]
I want to look very briefly at the nature of that industry and the advertising which serves it. [More…]
The nature of the attack can best be gauged by the wide range of people it covered. [More…]
In fact the range of people attacked in itself says something about the nature of the attack. [More…]
These developments, which are not expected to be of a continuing nature, have caused a slight lengthening of the time taken to process applications. [More…]
That again was a major omission, given that the most radical effect of introducing a satellite communications system would be to change completely the nature of the broadcasting industry in this country. [More…]
I point out that the semi-secret nature of the inquiry conducted by the task force did nothing to assist in public understanding of the issues involved. [More…]
When I was interrupted as I was speaking to the Budget Papers last week I was drawing attention to the nature of the free enterprise democratic system which I consider to be basic to the majority belief of Australians and I intended to draw attention to the importance of this belief to the Budget circumstances in which we find ourselves. [More…]
They are seen to be failing to satisfy the dictates of human nature. [More…]
All these promises were based on either blatant dishonesty about the real situation or a totally ill-informed analysis of the nature of unemployment in Australia. [More…]
Again, that was a totally wrong analysis of the nature of unemployment in Australia. [More…]
Only after a statement was made last week by the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, Mr Street, about the true nature of unemployment as he saw it and the likely future for unemployed people in this country- some two days after the Prime Minister had made a totally contrary statement- was there some honest acceptance within the Government ranks of the size and nature of the problem this country is facing. [More…]
But following the revelations made by the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations last week about the nature of unemployment as he saw it, the Government has tended to say: ‘Oh, yes, well we knew that all along. [More…]
What is the nature of the employment problem that is facing Australia? [More…]
We can argue about the worthwhile nature of our objectives and our ability to achieve them. [More…]
There must be either higher taxation or deficit financing, which in turn produces higher interest rates and things of that nature. [More…]
The development of technological services and the arrival upon the scene of great technical development have posed not only problems of an educational nature but also problems with a social content, to which the whole community will be, must be and, I believe, is devoting its attention. [More…]
It benefits those few which because of the nature of their occupation have the power to blackmail people and they rarely pass up the opportunity to do so. [More…]
In respect of the first question, I am advised that it is not the practice of the Government to comment on a hypothetical question of this nature. [More…]
Yesterday, someoneobviously someone who wished to show the farcial nature of the security here- planted what was thought to be a bomb right in the middle of Kings Hall. [More…]
In relation to the specific matter which I raised of an officer of the Joint House Department spying or pimping on the staff, it was highly offensive to me to think that in the Parliament of Australia we should have conduct of that nature. [More…]
On 4 October 1977- a few days later- the Committee was at last treated to something in the nature of a substantive reply. [More…]
It is relevant to note that overseas departures from Australia of a short-term nature have shown a positive upward movement averaging 1 8 per cent per annum whilst the short-term arrivals show a rate of increase of only 5 per cent per annum over the last eight years. [More…]
How can a support service of this nature, which is so necessary in our community, continue without any public funding from June until September 1978 and on the premise, rather than on the promise, that someone from Canberra is going to come to assess the situation shortly. [More…]
There also has been concern expressed in the wider community about the nature of the Bill. [More…]
The enormous number of exemptions of material and the nature and scope of the exemptions of material from the Archives even after the 30-year period is also a cause for concern. [More…]
We are dissatisfied with the nature of the appeals provision in the legislation. [More…]
Finally, I would like to make some comments about the concern expressed by historians and scholars in our community as to the effect of the very restrictive nature of some of the provisions of the Bill on the ability of historians and scholars to have access to material of historical interest. [More…]
It seems to the Oppositionand I hope that the Committee will take note of this-that the ministerial powers are greater than are justified for material of this nature. [More…]
We also have reservations about the nature of the Commonwealth records which will not come within the Australian Archives and handling and access to them by the public. [More…]
Archives and records of a highly secret or confidential nature relating to matters of defence, security or international relations. [More…]
Determinations under this procedure are to be reviewed at appropriate intervals, having regard to the nature of the records and any other relevant circumstances. [More…]
I have gone into some detail as to the nature of the Opposition’s reservations about this Bill. [More…]
In summary we would hope that the Committee would examine the length of time that material must be in the possession of the Commonwealth before it is transferred to the archives, the ministerial powers which are too great, the exemptions which are too extensive and in some cases not justified at all, the total exemption for ASIO material, the unsatisfactory nature or the limited nature of the appeals provisions against certificates of exemption. [More…]
There are several other objections that the professor has to the nature of the exemptions and the restriction. [More…]
They appear to include material of a private or personal nature. [More…]
However, I will spare those honourable senators here tonight the tedium of my reading them all because earlier on the natives were a bit restless and, being a pacificist by nature, I do not want to provoke anything unnecessarily. [More…]
We would have had a false report, I believe, if the Committee had reached a unanimous report in view of the state of our knowledge of cannabis and the state of the political nature of our community because the community, as the report said, is polarised over the use of cannabis. [More…]
There is difficulty in determining the exact nature of the problem we are facing because unskilled workers and others are consistently over-represented in drug conviction surveys in this country. [More…]
Some people ‘s beliefs as to the propriety of use or non-use depend on factors which have little to do with the nature and effects of the use of the drug. [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…]
Drugs range widely in their nature and just as widely in their application. [More…]
Mention is made in the chapter entitled Extent of drug use in Australia’ of a survey carried out by Mr Rankin on the size and nature of the misuse of alcohol in Australia, but no mention is made of a survey on tobacco. [More…]
If that is Mr Macphee ‘s answer to the social nature of the employment problem- that there has to be more job-sharing and more permanent part-time employment- he is whistling in the dark. [More…]
I advert also to comments made before another inquiry by a person whom I believe has some standing in the community in terms of being able to make remarks about the medical nature of this problem. [More…]
-My view on this is that there comes a stage when, in attempting to balance the requirements of what one might call some sort of social protection and the requirements of the civil liberties of the individual, one has to move towards saying that those who are prepared to consume or partake of this particular drug in a way that causes no offence to the community, and refrain from any activity such as being in control of a motor vehicle or anything of that nature should be allowed - [More…]
I am not dwelling on that report, because I do not think it goes far enough; but, as I understand it, the report recommends that penal criminal sanctions should be removed from the use or possession of small amounts of cannabis and that small monetary penalties, not in the nature of criminal sanctions, be applicable. [More…]
Honourable senators on both sides of this chamber have had knowledge of the area, of its basic nature and of its general effects. [More…]
In that reply he referred in general terms to the mail he received concerning some programs on the ABC and made comment about the volume and nature of the mail. [More…]
1 have, however, decided that in view of the broad nature of the request I should refuse it. [More…]
May I add that in the meantime should any member of the community wish to seek information on the general nature of correspondence concerning the ABC I would be only too willing to assist. [More…]
) Do these amounts include any items of capital nature. [More…]
b) what is the nature of the problem; [More…]
But because of the nature of education services and the services provided through many of the centres supported by my Department it is one on which we needed consultation with groups outside of government and with State governments. [More…]
Some workers must by virtue of the very nature of their employment change jobs frequently. [More…]
Commonwealth awards under the Post-graduate Awards Scheme, which are not means tested, are essentially of an income nature and it is appropriate that they should be taxed like other income. [More…]
I mention the point again because it illustrates the same theme which I was trying to illustrate earlier in this speech- the importance of the rather discriminatory nature of many of these provisions which are included in this package of Bills. [More…]
I have singled out these elements because I wanted to make general comments about them and about the nature of the measures. [More…]
Let me take a few moments to mention another specific context in which the very nature of the work in question is such as to make the accumulation of leave both a normal and an inevitable part of the job. [More…]
They are projects which traditionally have adopted a work pattern of shift work, overtime and six-day weeks and, more immediately pertinent, are of such a nature that workers at all levels, including staff and administrative people continue straight through the job from start to finish without taking annual leave en route. [More…]
It is also clear that the Government regrets that it has to introduce even a temporary surcharge of this nature. [More…]
So low income earners and those who are dependent on social security payments and benefits of that nature, the people for whom Senator McLaren properly expressed concern, who have an income below $5,676 for man and wife pay no tax at all. [More…]
In the meantime, I think the whole spirit of international and national sport is ill served if indeed statements of the nature reported are made. [More…]
Why did she decide to use a letter of such a personal nature in such a way? [More…]
He referred to the technical and expensive sport of gliding as getting $ 1,500 and certain other sports which are of a less technical nature getting larger sums. [More…]
During the course of my answer I indicated that I would provide information as to the monetary nature of the awards over recent years. [More…]
It came as a great surprise to the majority of Australians that a government should have reached the stage where it felt that it had to effect proposals of this nature, which interfere with accrued annual and holiday leave of employees right across the nation. [More…]
Yesterday Senator Wriedt instanced people who work for small businesses and who, because of the nature of those businesses, are just unable to take off more than perhaps a couple of weeks annually and hitherto have been compensated for their sacrifices to the continued operation of those businesses by being able to accumulate their leave and being taxed on it at a lower rate. [More…]
I think the review function does not extend that far, but I do think that we ought to be considering, because of the nature of this debate, another question which was adverted to earlier this year, which requires further consideration and about which this chamber can do something. [More…]
When dealing with Bills of this nature in the last three years we have been used to Ministers being very antagonistic. [More…]
The nature of this change is interesting to note in view of the $600,000 media campaign conducted by the Uranium Producers ‘ Forum over the past few months. [More…]
What was the percentage of full-time teaching staff, classified by salary and nature of duties for each academic stream in each of these years. [More…]
Will the Minister defend the Government’s position by enlightening the Senate about the nature of the capital works that have occurred as a result of these borrowings which would not have occurred otherwise and will not occur in the future? [More…]
My understanding, which is subject to correction, of the ACTU Jetset Travel Service Pty Ltd incident is that in the first instance the Minister wrote to the Managing Director or responsible officer of that calibre in the ACTU pointing out the difficulties and problems and that the subsequent procedures were in no way, in the melodramatic sense reported in the Press, a raid or anything of that nature. [More…]
I ask the AttorneyGeneral a further question because I find his reply to Senator Knight’s question quite unsatisfactory, given the serious nature of the charge made by Mr Kilduff. [More…]
Of course, I have discussions from time to time about these questions with officers of the Department, but having gone into the matter it seems to me that it was an exaggeration to say that there was a decline in the quality of justice because of the nature of the staffing difficulties that had arisen. [More…]
It is understood that registered organisations are already familiar with the nature of the information to be maintained and furnished and that the provisions on the Bill generally are in accord with the wishes of that Committee. [More…]
I think it is important that we realise that in the course of making the decision statements of the nature I shall indicate to the Senate shortly were made. [More…]
What have been the nature of the responses, if any, to those letters written by the Prime Minister? [More…]
It is true that quite some months ago the Commonwealth Government announced that it intended to enact legislation with respect to its own Commonwealth institutions in the Territories of a similar nature to that which the Victorian Government had proposed to enact and had prepared for enactment with regard to the University of Melbourne. [More…]
It is not an action that I requested and I am unaware whether anything of that nature has occurred. [More…]
It is a restriction of a political nature. [More…]
We oppose it because of its discriminatory nature. [More…]
However, I believe that comments by Mr Goodluck and some other Government supporters reflect the serious nature of the amendments proposed by the Social Service Amendment Bill. [More…]
As to the maternity allowance and the other things that were raised by him with regard to support for the family, of course, his remarks are understood and the Government acknowledges that benefits have been changed by this legislation; but, as I said, because of the nature of the Budget this year and the extent of the growth of social security expenditure some of these changes were deemed to be desired in this year. [More…]
Senator Rae asked a number of questions regarding the presence, the nature of the presence, the armament and the nature of the armament of Cuban defence forces or military forces on the African continent. [More…]
Firstly, in future, study leave should be more selective- it will not be automatic but should be based on the needs of the institution, the nature of the project proposed and the capacity of the staff member to make effective use of it; secondly, the maximum limit on study leave should be 7 per cent of available man-years for universities and 5 per cent for colleges of advanced education; thirdly, study leave should in future be restricted to members of the academic staff; fourthly, in general, individual absences on study leave should be restricted to periods of not greater than 6 months; fifthly, the present emphasis on overseas study leave should be reduced; sixthly, the use of study leave as the means of upgrading academic qualifications should be eliminated; and finally, there should be greater accountability on the part of individual staff members and institutions. [More…]
The nature of that automatic increase, particularly in South Australia, puts many of them over the means test level and they lose all their fringe benefits. [More…]
The first question is: Will the Minister state whether the withdrawal of the health benefit card to war pensioners on 90 per cent disability is to remain of a permanent nature especially for veterans in the 70 years of age and over category whose only source of income is the pension? [More…]
Of course, the Loan Council has to give final approval to the nature of the loan, its origin, its rate of interest et cetera, but the States will have the capacity to initiate projects and advance loan proposals for themselves. [More…]
Anybody who understands the nature of the functions of the Loan Council, the 1927 Financial Agreement and the gentlemen’s agreement will know that all borrowings must be approved by the Loan Council. [More…]
Despite the on-going nature of the family research project, it is not envisaged that it will continue for an indefinite period. [More…]
People like Alfred Deakin, Isaac Isaacs, John Quick and W. H. Groom had an interest in establishing an institution of this nature. [More…]
I should perhaps indicate something about not only the nature of scientific research which applies on this occasion but also scientific research in general. [More…]
It is interesting to note that in both the OECD examiner’s report and the report of the task force of the Royal Commission on Australian Government Administration, which was entitled ‘Towards Diversity and Adaptability’, some criticism was levelled at the nature of the CSIRO and its relationship with the Government. [More…]
One is that I am a little concerned about the extent to which the nature of the CSIRO is becoming a little less scientific and a little more bureaucratic. [More…]
In the belief that governments should at least make some attempt to adhere to the undertakings that they make, particularly those undertakings of a non-controversial nature, I would perhaps be bold enough to remind the Minister and honourable senators on this side of the chamber that those are undertakings which we have not yet fulfilled. [More…]
It has been very much set in its ways and dependent upon overseas technological development and inventiveness- generally reflecting the derivative nature of Australian society- when it should perhaps have been playing a much more significant entrepreneurial role than it has shown itself capable of playing to date. [More…]
I am informed by CSIRO staff that it has been accommodated only by a degree of improvisation in the organisation, with people doubling in various positions, with scientists, for example, spending a considerable amount of time in building their own equipment, and things of that nature. [More…]
One is unable to tell from the nature of this legislation whether it is merely a symbolic gesture, whether it is something real that the Government is concerned about or whether it is something real that the CSIRO is concerned about. [More…]
What one fears about the removal of staff representatives from the advisory bodies and what one fears about the wishy-washy nature of the provision relating to the Consultative Council is that the Government’s intentions are merely to have a sort of show pony which will do virtually nothing and that the legislation as it stands is merely a reflection of Government phobia about staff representation. [More…]
The level of debate on this Bill and the bipartisan nature of the commendations and criticisms from both government and opposition senators give me great heart as the Minister in charge of the CSIRO. [More…]
Since then the total is thought to have risen to at least 800,000. lt is suggested by West German sources which have commented on this that, in a more indirect way, surveillance in fact has been extended to millions of German citizens, creating a real atmosphere of concern in many areas, conspicuously in schools and the teaching profession and universities, and creating something worse than that- something in the nature of alarm and fear among the young and especially politically active West Germans. [More…]
I am sure that it will take into account the acknowledged unrepresentative nature of the sample on which the report is based. [More…]
My understanding is that it is difficult to enter into arrangements on a State by State basis because of the Australia-wide nature of the whole vehicle industry. [More…]
I will refer to the nature of some of those services in a minute. [More…]
The Board recommended that a number of advisors be appointed to the board of Radio Australia to give advice annually on programs, funding and things of that nature. [More…]
The first worry concerns the nature of insurance. [More…]
This creates serious dangers of conflicts of interests, particularly as the nature of the medical profession is changing. [More…]
In the meantime, the changed nature of the medical profession is becoming increasingly obvious, to the dismay of many of the most senior and respected members of the profession. [More…]
For decades arguments have taken place throughout the Western world as to whether advertising costs are simply extra costs or whether their competitive nature tends to reduce overall costs and leads to more efficiency. [More…]
-Will the Minister representing the Minister for Transport confirm that the statement released by the Minister for Transport concerning air fares to Europe is of a preliminary nature and is not a definitive statement? [More…]
In the criminal courts, they have been disadvantaged at every stage of the proceedings- the chances of being arrested, the nature of charges, the granting and the level of bail, having legal representation in court, the chances of conviction and the severity of sentence. [More…]
After various statements of that nature had appeared and other events Mr Anthony felt impelled to issue a Press release on 23 October in which he said: [More…]
I think I am speaking for every honourable senator- certainly those on my side of the chamber- when I say that we were well satisfied with the expert nature of the submissions and reports which were given to us by Mr Hudson and his party. [More…]
The defence service homes scheme since its inception has been set apart from other lending institutions by its very nature which, in 1918 and all the subsequent years in which the legislation has been amended, was to provide concessions for war service or service in the armed forces. [More…]
In view of the co-operative nature of the scheme, it is desirable that insured persons contribute equitably. [More…]
I now ask whether the Minister will inform the Senate of the details of that monitoring, the number of workers checked, the period of time over which they were checked, the industries they were engaged in and the nature of the monitoring, together with information regarding those areas of industry where radiation is a risk but which have not been monitored. [More…]
I indicate that the Government will be making its report very soon on the nature of the radiation and plutonium situation at Maralinga. [More…]
Under the amendments they would be appointed by the Governor-General, which is more usual for offices of this nature. [More…]
Accordingly, the amendments in the Bill are of a technical and non-controversial nature, which do not make substantial changes in any areas of the Act that are singled out by the terms of reference for the Parliamentary Joint Select Committee, or which are likely to become the subject of submissions to the Committee. [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…]
Opportunity has also been taken to make an amendment of a technical nature to section 1 7 of the Remuneration and Allowances Act 1973. [More…]
If the charter that the Research Committee has does not cover items such as promotion and cholesterol investigation, then I submit that the Committee should apply to have its charter extended to cover those two items in particular or other items of a similar nature. [More…]
We have to concentrate on producing the product in the nature and form that the market, both at home and abroad, require. [More…]
I believe that what the Opposition is proposing will at least give some very definite limits to the nature of the appointment. [More…]
I consider it important that we should be advised of the nature of the dispute and the reason for it. [More…]

The nature of this protection means that it is primarily directed to the many small businesses which are active in commercial innovation. [More…]
In a debate of this nature Government speakers should not make apologies and postpone matters as they have done. [More…]
I simply want to have a number of documents incorporated in Hansard primarily for the purpose of refuting some of the submissions of Senator Collard, who virtually said that nature is so robust that it can overcome oil spills. [More…]
I do not think that Senate committees are used properly in areas which clearly require a great deal more research and investigation of a very specialised nature. [More…]
The Minister concerned made it clear in his own statement that there were certain misunderstandings between the Prime Minister and himself that were not of a policy nature. [More…]
There is no question of a sellout or anything of that nature. [More…]
Given the difficult and sensitive nature of the settlement process in Namibia, the negotiations initiated by the Western Five- the United States, the United Kingdom, France, the Federal Republic of Germany and Canada- have been long and exhaustive. [More…]
Of course, this is partly because of the nature of the efficiency auditing exercise itself. [More…]
I also mention the nature of the enterprise in that degree of detail in order to repeat the obvious point that, in view of the scale and cost of the investigations that are contemplated, it is clear that we cannot expect a very wide area of public administration to be covered very quickly. [More…]
This Bill includes an extensive range of amendments to the Audit Act and by its nature it is somewhat technical and very complex. [More…]
One feels confident in 1979 that these amendments are coping with matters with which former governments were previously unable to cope due to the very intricate nature of the requirements. [More…]
The Attorney-General (Senator Durack), in introducing this Bill and in a series of subsequent private discussions, has indicated that there are a number of amendments which might be regarded as being of a technical nature and which, in part at least, stem from the recommendations of the Family Law Council. [More…]
As I indicated earlier, the Bill also contains a number of what I understand are machinery amendments which are described as being of a technical nature. [More…]
In dealing with the limited nature of this Bill as it exists, I do not want to trespass on the ground that Senator Button covered because I agree in general with his remarks about these amendments. [More…]
Because of the complicated nature of this Bill, I believe that this digest would be of some use in the record. [More…]
The rest of the amendments are of a technical nature and do not substantially alter the spirit of the Family Law Act. [More…]
Only recently the Government agreed to commit funds to education of a pre-marital nature, the object of which very obviously is of a preventive nature. [More…]
One does not need to go into considerable detail about the role of the British Broadcasting Commission, for instance, or to indicate the quality and nature of BBC programs that appear on television in Australia- programs such as The Ascent of Man, in which Dr Bronowski took a most fascinating intellectual journey through human history. [More…]
Part of the phenomenon of being young these days is that one gets almost all of one ‘s contact with nature and almost all of one’s understanding, comprehension or vision of one’s own country not by the personal experience of going out into the bush or by travelling but by the surrogate personal experience of sitting in front of a television set. [More…]
It is certainly true that if one were to observe over a prolonged period the nature of social relationships, the nature of physical relationships and the nature of sheer physical conditions of living in which most of these television soap operas and most of the television programs tend to be shown, one would get without doubt the most unrealistic picture of life in the United States, Great Britain, Australia or anywhere else. [More…]
In essence, the Emerys postulate that by its very nature, the television signal produces a temporary numbing of the left hemisphere of the brain which is the perceptive or thought processing function - [More…]
Many honourable senators will have seen correspondence from the Australian Association of National Advertisers which relates to the way in which television executives and television stations in general manipulate the nature of television programs so as to produce attractive quality on high rating programs during particular periods of the year in order lo demonstrate that their ratings are up and therefore their capacity to attract advertising is greater. [More…]
The report goes on at some considerable length to indicate the need for more constructive research to be undertaken in any number of areas relating to the television industry- not only the nature of programs, not only the viewing habits that are connected with those programs, but also the effect of television, the effect of television violence, and the effect of excessive exploitation of sex on television. [More…]
Ethiopia overthrew the dictatorship of Haile Selassie and substituted a Marxist dictatorship of a particularly virulent nature. [More…]
I have already indicated the nature of its contents to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Senator Chaney). [More…]
I think it is known to the Senate that almost 28 per cent of the national Budget expenditure is of an income security or welfare nature. [More…]
Does the Minister agree that this is blatant discrimination of a sexist nature to disfranchise these Australian citizens? [More…]
As far as being blatant discrimination of a sexist nature is concerned, to pick up Senator Bonner’s terms, if he means by that that there was some intention to discriminate on a sexist basis, I do not agree with him because I suspect that it is simply an historical fact that at the time when the legislation was introduced it was not thought that wives of servicemen would be overseas with their husbands. [More…]
Work of an equivalent kind is work of a type or nature in which the person usually engages or in which the person’s experience, qualifications and training could be used. [More…]
It announces an inquiry which will question the desirability of people being allowed to seek work of a nature in which they usually engage, which is the present situation, and whether the counselling and the adjustment period that these people can take advantage of at the moment should be made shorter. [More…]
It goes on to question whether the only criterion by which people should be judged as to whether they should accept work of the nature they usually undertake is their mental and physical health. [More…]
The first class embraces schemes for prepayments of amounts under arrangements designed to secure an incometax allowance for what purports to be deductible expenditure but is, in essence, either not a real expense or one of a non-deductible capital nature. [More…]
I should have thought that the repressive nature of that regime, whilst perhaps not comparable to that of the Shah, is again suspect. [More…]
When we get a document of this nature we ought to get a supplement showing how our delegates at the United Nations voted on crucial divisions and how they voted in committees. [More…]
When, as part of the reunification and the change in the nature of Vietnamese society, the Vietnamese Government decided to change the currency it gave the Vietnamese in the south 48 hours in which to convert their currency and said that they would be allowed only $500 in currency for their own use and that all other moneys were to be invested in state enterprises. [More…]
They were caught up in this change of currency and in the change in the nature of society which was being imposed upon them. [More…]
That is true solidarity and we should do it, regardless of the nature of those governments. [More…]
Will the Minister explain the nature of the inquiry? [More…]
Indeed, the supervising scientist has the first responsibility to see that those matters of a scientific and, as I understand it, a biological nature that may be affected by mining in any area are examined. [More…]
These are the entities that are frustrated by difficulty of access to finance because of their private company status or because of their very highly specialised nature. [More…]
No one would deny that Canberra and the Capital Territory, in common with many other areas in our nation, are facing particular problems because of the nature of the Territory. [More…]
This recognises the central nature of that Tribunal within the Commonwealth’s sphere of administrative law. [More…]
That is not to say that action should not have been taken earlier in respect of particular matters, but I support thoroughly the principles of this Bill and of others that have set out a means by which there is to be curtailment of the various tax avoidance schemes of an insidious nature thathavegrownupinthecommunity. [More…]
Let me make it perfectly clear that it was not my intention to indicate that it was a royal commission or an inquiry of such a nature. [More…]
I note the qualified nature of the final part of the question that he asked in relation to whether, to the extent that the Government has influence in these matters, it will take these factors into account. [More…]
I think there are difficulties of a conceptual nature in setting a policy line. [More…]
During a period in which the Government has concentrated on restraining expenditure it has maintained the open-ended nature of these schemes. [More…]
I think, therefore, it ought to be incumbent on us to have some regard to the level and nature of expenditure which the Government has dedicated towards education in general terms. [More…]
Mr Justice Hope concluded that legal doubts as to the nature of this relationship that had arisen under the terms of the present Act should be removed and the relationship should be clearly defined. [More…]
The main purpose of this Bill now before the Senate is to make amendments of a formal nature to the Customs Act 1 90 1 , so as to alter re ferences in that Act to the Telephonic Communications (Interception) Act 1960 and the Australian Security Intelligence Organization Act 1956. [More…]
The debate has perhaps reviewed something of the past history of the dairying industry, which has been a most important industry to Australia and particularly to Victoria because of its ability to develop and support decentralised towns and to bring to those towns income of a steady nature which in rural areas in not expected to be a weekly income but more often is found to be an annual income or an income something less frequent than that. [More…]
These things are important not only for commercial reasons but also because of their relationship to national pride, national ethos, and things of that nature. [More…]
It appears to me, from the remarks that have been made to date by my colleagues, that a great deal of reference has been made to the Senate Standing Committee on Social Welfare, over which Senator Baume presides, and its report on the problems involved in cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, the taking of analgesics and matters of that nature. [More…]
I should like to take this opportunity to explain to senators in some further detail the nature of the obligations Australia is now assuming as these relate to the Government’s existing policies. [More…]
The succession of deliberate steps which the Minister is taking reflects the nature of fighter aircraft technology and the large questions which need to be adequately answered. [More…]
In the same way now in our very enlightened State, if a lady is suffering from psychiatric troubles, unless they are of a temporary nature, she must go to one of the psychiatric hospitals in the south of the State, because Mossman Hall, the only psychiatric establishment in north Queensland, caters only for men. [More…]
The point I am trying to make is that the political instability that will result from a continuation of things of this nature is bad for this country. [More…]
I have no advice as to the nature of the discussions at the conference concerned. [More…]
Over the service boards was the rather amorphous Department of Defence, almost entirely public service in nature, but with the enormous power which resides in the body which presents to Cabinet the case of the individual service’s financial requirements for manpower and equipment. [More…]
That did not matter much when our military role was to provide units to serve under the command of the forces of other nations, but once we turned to look at operations of our own which, by their very nature, would normally involve more than one service, the command vacuum could no longer be tolerated. [More…]
The laudable desire to integrate professional servicemen and public servants at equivalent levels, and the top heavy nature of the Public Service structure, have caused an explosion in the senior ranks of servicemen in Canberra. [More…]
But when the United States takes some steps of a positive nature that have as their objective the protection of public health and individual health, we seem to be reluctant to follow the particular lead. [More…]
Admittedly, as I remarked to Tom Uren, his exhaust sounded a little rowdy, but that is the nature of exhausts in motorcycles. [More…]
The whole sequence of events revealed the true nature of the situation, how justice is applied at the lower level in Queensland. [More…]
Because of the nature of the electoral distribution in Queensland the immediate solution to the problem rests very much with the Liberal Party. [More…]
Attendance at the Operations Room by the Director-General was in the nature of a visit to determine what was happening with regard to pensioners and beneficiaries and to give to the police whatever information was required by them in the course of the normal relationship between the Department and the police who are acting where there are alleged frauds. [More…]
It may be Senator Mcintosh’s view that some other officer in the Department could better do this but given the nature of the investigations being made, it was a decision of the Director-General that he should be informed at that time of what was transpiring. [More…]
Honourable senators will know that many institutions do a very good job of staff training which would give a teacher in the short term a highly concentrated picture of the nature of commerce and industry. [More…]
We believe that the nature of the inquiry and the charges have been such as to give rise to a feeling within the Greek community that its members have been singled out for special treatment. [More…]
The nature and description of the charges are such that they confuse and frighten the people who have been charged. [More…]
My question is: Can the blame for this sort of reporting in this case be laid solely at the feet of the media or did the conduct of the police in this case, acting under instructions, contribute to these reports and to the nature of them? [More…]
The defendants had suffered hardships while waiting to see what would happen to them and many were still completely uninformed of the precise nature of the charges against them, he added. [More…]
To my surprise the Minister said that this was the first time that a matter of this nature had been drawn to her attention. [More…]
I will confine my remarks this evening to general observations about the nature of a security service in a democratic system of government and reserve my comments on specific sections of the Bill until the Committee stage. [More…]
I believe that Mr Justice Hope has considered in detail the nature and definition of terms such as ‘ terrorism ‘ and ‘ security ‘. [More…]
He has been at pains to discuss concepts such as activities prejudicial to security, active measures of foreign intervention and the legislation- it has substantially followed his comments- provides a particularly important starting point from which legislation of this nature can proceed. [More…]
I certainly have some queries about the specific nature of some areas of these Bills. [More…]
In Richard Hall’s book The Secret State on Australia’s spy industry there is considerable discussion on the nature of the relationship between ASIO and the United States authorities. [More…]
The demands of security do require that there be many special provisions, I suppose, in the legislation which would not be tolerable elsewhere but which do have to be somehow swallowed because of the very specially sensitive nature of the subject matter. [More…]
He concluded: ‘By its very nature, subversion is clandestine and deceptive’, against which, he said, ‘ordinary police methods’ were not sufficient. [More…]
A third area where the Minister cannot override the opinion of the Director-General is in the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organisation to a Minister, department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
The nature of democracy is that it is a publicly observable process, that decisions are made as a result of information made available to the public, debated by the public and dealt with ultimately by the elected representatives of the public. [More…]
By definition again, this is an extraordinarily difficult task, that the public or the representatives of the public should be supervising the activities of people whose operations by their very nature need to be secret. [More…]
Is the Government aware of the increased incidence, number and nature of product recalls, bannings and failures to meet safety and other standards under both State and Federal legislation in the years 1976 to 1978? [More…]
One can only conclude that this Government finds activities of that nature completely acceptable. [More…]
If one wants to put this urgency motion in its perspective, one should look at the so-called serious nature of these urgency motions that the Labor Party has brought forward recently. [More…]
The nature of that letter has been made public; it is known to all. [More…]
The only interest of a serious nature involved Senator Webster and it was of such a serious nature that it was submitted to the court of disputed returns. [More…]
The Commissioner gave consideration to the lack of substantial interest shown by Europeans in the claim area, the size and nature of the land and to the expressed wish of the claimants. [More…]
There are one or two other comments of a more general nature which I wish to make briefly. [More…]
Even the nature of that gun has not been decided on. [More…]
I drew attention, in the first instance, to the all-pervasive nature of television in Australia. [More…]
In the village that information was free and readily available; in industrial societies we must be prepared to spend our affluence on public service broadcasting so that we can once again understand the nature of the society in which we live. [More…]
That organisation publishes a number of compelling and interesting studies on the Australian media, its ownership, its control, its resources, the nature of programs and the effect of programs on children. [More…]
However, let me repeat the nature of the report and the subject matter of the debate. [More…]
The very nature of the job and the necessity for a committee like this to have contact with Ministers, most of whom are in the House of Representatives, and for members of the Ministry to send their representatives before the Committee to discuss the details at an early stage, are matters which naturally call for a joint committee. [More…]
The nature and form of any acquisition of property required to re-inforce the self-management scheme, and the type and extent of compensation payable in respect of such acquisition, should then be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the needs of different communities. [More…]
It could merely be a matter of acquiring timber rights, mineral rights or something of that nature, or it could be an acquisition without mineral rights, but we must acquire the property and pay just terms for the amount of control that we acquire. [More…]
The nature and form of any acquisition of property required to re-inforce the self-management scheme, and the type and extent of compensation payable in respect of such acquisition, should then be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the needs of different communities. [More…]
I refer to the misunderstandings that used to occur between Australian and Japanese businessmen due to a difference in the nature of contracts and in contract law in each country. [More…]
We see our opportunity to reduce air fares by cutting out some of the stop-overs which, by their very nature, must be a cost factor. [More…]
483, and the very serious imputations concerning Ministers of the Crown and others, I would have thought it would be in their own interests, as well as in the interests of this Parliament, to have matters of that nature cleared up. [More…]
In accordance with answer to part (6) of question number 2378 on the House of Representatives notice paper was the Minister for Primary Industry or the Minister for Transport given complete details of the size, nature and legal implications of the shipment. [More…]
Complete details of the nature and size of total shipments will not be available until the trial is completed. [More…]
Will he make inquiries into the nature of the proposals of both of these cities in regard to what savings of energy they contemplate will result from the reintroduction of trams? [More…]
He subsequently misled the Parliament about the nature of his interest. [More…]
When we start talking about sums of money of this nature, it is obvious that there would be a temptation to misuse them and possibly even divert them into the pockets of individuals. [More…]
I go so far as to suggest that it would not matter what type of legislation was brought down by any government or any Attorney-General in this country because such is the nature of secret organisations anywhere in the world that they are not to be trusted. [More…]
Any information it picks up along the way is ignored if it is of a minor nature or, if it is of a major nature, it is passed on to the relevant people. [More…]
Will the Australian Government not confine itself to issuing statements of a general nature, supporting the treaty that has been signed, but in fact engage in an energetic campaign with those countries and in those international forums in which it has some influence to see that other countries also are made aware of Australia’s strong support for the principles of the treaty? [More…]
In the case of unemployment benefit there is this limited amount that I have mentioned because of the nature of the unemployment benefit itself. [More…]
As with many welfare and health areas in this country, we have been bedevilled by a lack of ideas as to the size of the problem with which we have been presented and the nature of that problem. [More…]
Comments of this nature have been brought to the attention of the relevant departments and statutory bodies, and will be borne in mind in the preparation of future annual reports. [More…]
Had we been smart 10 years ago we would have gone ahead with legislation such as this then, instead of arguing amongst ourselves about where the new Parliament House should be located and what its nature should be. [More…]
I suggest that the achievement of it is going to be beyond the realities of human nature. [More…]
However, our economic future will depend also on our success in devising numerous innovations perhaps of a less dramatic nature, but in the aggregate of undoubted importance. [More…]
The nature of defence administration has been attracting the attention of some commentators. [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…]
We may not always be conscious of the nature of that change but change there indeed has been. [More…]
Congress, grossly misled by the Executive Department as to the nature of the British contribution and the Anglo-American agreements, passed legislation which forbade the transfer of atomic energy data to any foreign country. [More…]
Children, by the very nature of their age and their lack of maturity, are not competent to protect themselves. [More…]
What amounts to moderation and reasonableness depends on all the circumstances including the nature of the offence, the age, sex and strength of the child, his past behaviour and the kind of punishment inflicted. [More…]
Even when it did apply it applied for some very grave offences- defilement of girls under 12 and offences of that nature. [More…]
The important point is that under the Crimes Act 1958, and probably before that, it was ensured that certain provisions would be made to protect the person who was to have this punishment inflicted, both in the nature of requiring a medical officer to be present and in providing the right of appeal against such an order. [More…]
For those who believe that they are being harassed and are suffering from other forms of invasion of their privacy, the Committee recommends that machinery should exist where complaints of this nature may be lodged by the individuals concerned, with the assurance that the complaint will be examined and wherever proven, whatever action can be taken through diplomatic channels will be pursued. [More…]
He went on to say that the problem will be difficult because of the established nature of the Greek Orthodox Church and the strong views of the Church on that matter. [More…]
In an article in Nature magazine of 23 November 1978 it is indicated that, once again, the International Whaling Commission, reacting to the advice of its own scientific committee, has been doing too little too late, and that attitude has persisted for some considerable time. [More…]
To destroy any forms interrupts nature ‘s balance to the eventual detriment of man. [More…]
As I recall the position, Senator Bishop and other honourable senators made representations to the Government that this was one area of assistance that could be regarded as of a continuing nature. [More…]
I think that I should refer the question to the Minister for National Development to get a more detailed answer for Senator Bishop; for instance, information on the nature of the technology of the plant in the United States and matters of that kind. [More…]
The Australian delegation expressed its concern to the Symposium about the uneven nature of trade benefits to donor countries that may emerge from development assistance to developing nations, particularly the newly industrialised nations. [More…]
It seems that she recognises the discreditable nature of the occupation. [More…]
Today it is political activity of a completely different nature. [More…]
I think that this debate has brought out in fairly stark relief the nature of those dilemmas. [More…]
There is a dilemma of how to provide for accountability of some kind for an organisation which, if it is to be effective and of its very nature must operate substantially in secret. [More…]
I believe that that makes good sense and is sound reasoning, because in the nature of this Organisation very little of its activities can be made public. [More…]
Therefore, for a report to be of any real value by its nature it could not be made public. [More…]
A report that could be made to the Parliament would be, by its nature, a very watered down one. [More…]
It will be expressing attitudes about the nature of those assessments and the work of the Organisation. [More…]
It simply limits the power of the Minister to override the opinion of the Director-General in relation to the collection of security information about a particular individual, the communication of intelligence about a particular individual or the nature of advice that should be given. [More…]
Senator Missen said that the Leader of the Opposition will be much better off than Government back benchers, but the nature of a security organisation is essentially that it does operate in secret. [More…]
Because of its nature, and its activities, my Department does not receive many approaches from businessmen and organisations representing the interests of business groups. [More…]
I state in response to Senator Grimes’ question that I am not aware of how many incidents of this nature have occurred in the Adelaide office recently. [More…]
Plans of this nature would be of assistance in protecting staff members from incidents of the kind which we are discussing and in preventing them. [More…]
But I was explaining the difference in the nature of the benefit and the difference in the free area of income which is allowed. [More…]
This session the Parliament debated the Jurisdiction of Courts (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, which amended the Federal Court of Australia Act and vested State supreme courts with jurisdiction to hear in chambers applications of an urgent nature which normally are under the jurisdiction of the Federal Court. [More…]
cause damage in another area where normally nature would not have allowed it to act. [More…]
As parliamentarians we should be particularly vigilant in examining the circumstances of cases of this nature. [More…]
I do not repeat what has been said by the Leader of the Opposition in respect of the dubious nature of these actions, of the trial and of the fact that there was, on appeal, a very, very small majority prepared to take this course. [More…]
It is perhaps one of the occasions that draws to our attention as free people in a free society the values and the worthwhile nature of the free society in which we are able to live, protected in our political activity from this sort of revenge. [More…]
the number of Aboriginals with traditional attachments to the land claimed who would be advantaged, and the nature and extent of the advantage that would accrue to those Aboriginals, if the claim were acceded to either in whole or in part; [More…]
The role of the Committee has evolved over this period with the growth and changing nature of Canberra itself. [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 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…]
We consider, from the kind of civil libertarian perspective that we hope the Government is adopting in this Bill, that those powers should not be vested in the Organisation, particularly given the appalling track record of officers of the Organisation for any kind of intelligent prophecy about or analysis of the nature of existing organisations, let alone what they are likely to do in the unforeseeably distant future. [More…]
Let me simply say that since terrorism has become a pattern world wide, the Commonwealth Government has been looking towards and has been taking active steps towards laying down security measures which, by their very nature, must remain confidential. [More…]
Some of the quotations in relation to Professor Henderson overlook the nature of the study that was done and the accountability of State governments and the Federal Government in providing emergency aid. [More…]
However, because of the confidential nature of exploration by mining companies, it is not possible for me to list deposits or locations related to the use of SIROTEM as an exploration tool. [More…]
by leave- I raise once again the matter that was raised in this place a week ago by Senator Georges, that is, the nature of some answers to questions. [More…]
There are also problems of a practical nature with proposed new clause 7a(2) in that just informing the Leader of the Opposition of the persons against whom a warrant has been issued would not be very meaningful or helpful because the Leader of the Opposition would want to know the grounds on which the warrant was issued. [More…]
In the nature of things, he could not exercise that type of responsibility. [More…]
The most important thing to appreciate about these amendments and the clause to which they are directed is the nature and extent of ministerial responsibility for the Australian Security Intelligence Organization. [More…]
Because this is crucial to our understanding of the operation of the clause I will briefly canvass the competing views that have existed about the existing relationship between the Minister and the Director-General, the existing nature and extent of ministerial responsibility. [More…]
At the other end of the scale was the view which I hold- I believe that most lawyers hold this view- regarding the nature of the relationship; that is, that the traditional principles of ministerial responsibility and control apply in relation to the present Act. [More…]
It is a curious provision which in turn limits the power of the Minister to give specific directions concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organization, to a Minister, Department or authority of the Commonwealth’. [More…]
It refers to the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organisation to a Minister. [More…]
As I see it, clause 8 (2) (c) states the obvious- that is, that the Minister should not override the professional opinion of the Director-General and thereby, the nature of the advice that the Director-General gives to Ministers, departments and authorities. [More…]
Because of the nature of an acting appointment, as distinct from a permanent appointment, it may have to be done in an emergency and so the Parliamentary Counsel advised the addition of those words. [More…]
Some people would say that the communication of any information at all about ASIO, relating to the size of its staff, the location of its offices, the nature of its budgeting, the manner of its financial administrationanything at all related to the efficiency or quality of the Organization and its performance- must be kept secret; that it is unconscionable or unimaginable that such information should ever be disclosed to anyone. [More…]
If the information can be passed to State authorities, and although the legislation does not provide this, you can imagine that in extreme circumstances legislation could be given to governments which have quite contrary views from this Parliament- from either side of this Parliament- about the nature of legislation of this kind and the important aspect of its protection of civil liberties as far as possible. [More…]
The other question is as to the nature of the Security Appeals Tribunal, a State instrumentality over which the Commonwealth would not have any control. [More…]
I am interested not only in the machinery by which this undertaking is to be implemented- I also hope for an undertaking that it will be part of the Bill itself- but also in the nature and extent of the undertaking in question. [More…]
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…]
The nature and form of any acquisition of property required to re-inforce the self-management scheme, and the type and extent of compensation payable in respect of such acquisition, should then be determined on a case-by-case basis according to the needs of different communities. [More…]
Ii then goes on to set out particular propositions about the way in which local government will be conducted in that area and the nature of local government administration. [More…]
First of all, it gives a detailed analysis, Tor really the first time in the legal literature, of the nature, scope and extent of section 5 1 (xxvi) of the Constitution, which of course empowers the Commonwealth to make laws with respect to the people of any race for whom it is deemed necessary to make special laws . [More…]
1 ) to (4) My office has very little contact with organisations of this nature. [More…]
Will the Australian Government not confine itself to issuing statements of a general nature, supporting the treaty that has been signed, but in fact engage in an energetic campaign with those countries and in those international forums in which it has some influence to see that other countries also are made aware of Australia ‘s strong support for the principles of the treaty? [More…]
I think that the nature of the question, therefore, is not unconnected with immediate future events. [More…]
I believe their expert knowledge should be harnessed and people of that nature should be immediately invited to go to places where expositions have been held in recent times, particularly those in which Australia has been involved. [More…]
They would be able to find out the real and practical problems that are involved in staging expositions of this nature. [More…]
The Government believes that, in order to make decisions about such matters as the Island’s revenue potential and the nature and level of social welfare benefits, it is necessary to have much more information on the economic strengths, weaknesses and potential of the Norfolk Island economy. [More…]
These will indicate the nature of the service to be provided, the areato be served, the purpose of the licence, and other technical matters. [More…]
what was the nature of such discouragement; and [More…]
1 ) to (4) It is in the ordinary nature of Government business that representations are received in writing and by personal calls from a vast number of business organisations and private individuals. [More…]
That in itself does not change the nature of the request, nor the consideration given to any genuine representations by the Government. [More…]
The level and nature of their discharge is relatively insignificant. [More…]
Whilst it is true that there are requirements for the disclosure of certain information of a nutritional nature on packaged dog food, it should be borne in mind that these foods frequently constitute the sole items of diet for the animal. [More…]
Because of the impending energy crisis brought about by both economics and the finite nature of our oil reserves, will the Minister say whether he supports the proposition that a quite considerable loading be placed on all exports of our rapidly diminishing energy resources and that all revenue accruing from the loading be used exclusively for research and experimentation into new energy sources such as the liquefaction of coal, the production of hydrogen, or the development of our intermittent energy sources, for instance, solar, wind or tidal sources. [More…]
In light of the nature of the information that was given in the question and the nature of the facts that have been provided to me, I should like to give that detail in the Senate. [More…]
It seeks to defend and protect the way in which the Queensland Government operates, despite its clearly unrepresentative nature. [More…]
Is it right that someone who is trying to advance himself and hold down a responsible position is not allowed to do so because years ago he did something, although it was not of a nature that would affect his employment in the Post Office? [More…]
There was no indication that he was likely to be tempted to thieve or to do something of that nature again. [More…]
Of course, the reality of the matter is that the nature of the powers that are here being exercised are so sweeping and have such enormous implications that the burden involved on the Minister by comparison is trivial indeed. [More…]
All matters of this nature are considered in the Budget context. [More…]
Those of us who are concerned about the political predilections and economic interests of the owners of television stations will know that, by the very nature of the beasts, they cannot in any sense conduct a television channel which is representative of the public interest as one would hope it to be. [More…]
My understanding of the practice is that statements are provided in advance and that reports of this nature are tabled, although on occasions, as an individual act, Ministers provide them earlier. [More…]
Therefore we are obliged to ascertain as best we can from the speeches that have been made by Senator Wriedt and Senator Button speaking in support of this motion what are the grounds for and what is the nature of this most serious charge that is levelled against Senator Webster. [More…]
It should leave no room for doubt as to what is the nature of the charge that is being laid. [More…]
Senator Wriedt got close to it at one point when he said that the nature of the charge is not that Senator Webster had misled the Senate but that he had deliberately misled the Senate. [More…]
In other parts of his speech Senator Wriedt suggested that the nature of the misleading of Parliament by Senator Webster was in the fact that there were strong views within the Government for renewal of permits for drilling in the Barrier Reef and surrounding areas and that the answers given by Senator Webster expressed a view contrary to the view that Senator Wriedt believed could be spelt out from statements which were made in correspondence within the Government and between Ministers and which were tabled by Senator Wriedt. [More…]
Senator Button’s speech gave another and very peculiar slant to what the nature of the charge against Senator Webster is. [More…]
As the man responsible for the Act and its administration, he said that the reasons that steps had not been taken to proclaim that area as a marine park were generally of a constitutional nature. [More…]
Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, given a greater insight into the nature of the Opposition’s concern with this legislation, we, unlike the Government, learn from independent judicial review. [More…]
The reason is that the telephone interception, as indeed is the listening device interception, is for the purposes of surveillance, the nature of which requires surveillance over a substantial period. [More…]
Such is the fantastically flimsy nature of Senator Primmer’s charges. [More…]
I have been told by Social Security that I cannot receive anything in this nature again. [More…]
I have been told by Social Security that 1 cannot receive anything in this nature again. [More…]
What audacity it is for a member of a Department, presumably a responsible member of a Department, to suggest that she would never receive anything of that nature again. [More…]
It follows that my Department does not have a statutory role in carrying out investigations of this nature. [More…]
It has wide-ranging terms of reference, canvassing such matters as whether a statement of principles can be drawn up on the nature of private interests, pecuniary or otherwise, which could conflict with the public duty of any or all persons holding positions of public trust in relation to the Commonwealth; whether principles can be defined to promote the avoidance of such conflicts; whether a register under judicial or other supervision should be maintained. [More…]
It is based on the fact that in nature small amounts of the same elements that occur in rad.wastes are completely immobilised in the crystal lattices of certain minerals for up to 2,000 million years, a much longer period than is required for the safe decay of the wastes from nuclear reactors. [More…]
This results from Government members very real concern that their predictions about what would happen last year have been completely incorrect and that they have talked themselves and the rest of the community into the magic nature of the size of the Budget deficit. [More…]
On page 2 of the paper, mention is made of the impersonal nature of some large enterprises. [More…]
In the nature of things, he cannot be involved in the details of government. [More…]
These people must be even more concerned to hear the Attorney-General in this chamber provide an argument which indicates that he has no idea of the nature of the amendment which the Government and he are rejecting. [More…]
All we are saying is that the principle of allowing an appeal where persons are prejudiced by adverse assessments or communications in the nature of assessments should be continued. [More…]
That enables the Organisation in a temporary situation ofthe kind described in that clause to take action of a temporary nature to prevent access by persons to any information or place pending the ultimate furnishing of a report to the agency or department in question. [More…]
I believe a valid case can be mounted for saying that there will be occasions on which it may be proper that an individual should not be apprised of the fact that an ASIO assessment has been made because the assessment is of such a nature that the revealing of it, in the words contained in sub-clause (2) (b), would be prejudicial to the interests of security of the nation. [More…]
Expenses incurred by a Member of Parliament in representing his or her electorate are allowable deductions except to the extent to which they are of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
Because of the serious nature of the disaster that overtook the nuclear power station at Harrisburg and the increasing cloud of doubt that now hovers over every nuclear power station, can the individual States of Australia act unilaterally by deciding to go nuclear, deciding on reactor design, and deciding on location? [More…]
I thought the question by its nature was directed to the Minister representing the Minister for National Development. [More…]
It is not for me at this stage to comment on the nature of any suggested offence or on the actions of the police. [More…]
We will also co-operate in examining the nature of the Japanese manufacturing-beef market which is expected to increase substantially up to 1983. [More…]
I think people are confused about the nature of various songs that we now have available to us, about the nature of various flags that we now have available to us. [More…]
His appointment would depend on the nature of the proceedings. [More…]
It seems to me that just as there are views in the community that change with the nature of society and that there are individuals in the community who are more or less receptive to changing attitudes, so there are judges, eminent men and women as they may be, who, at the age of 65 years and over, are likely to be less sensitive to what the community regards, in a number of matters, as politically subversive or political undesirable and are therefore likely to attract an adverse security assessment- a view that might not be shared by a person appointed to the bench at a considerably younger age. [More…]
It must be somebody in whom there is faith and who has not previously indicated or been felt to indicate certain views of a social or political nature which may have some bearing upon the way in which he reviews a security assessment. [More…]
With some reluctance the Board came to the conclusion that elaborate written pleadings would be unsuitable- given the nature of its work- and formal paper work is therefore kept to the barest minimum compatible with orderly procedure. [More…]
Sub-clause (12) is another provision which will be of assistance to the applicant in finding out just what is the nature of the case against him so that, having given evidence once, he could give evidence again after the evidence against him had been heard by the Tribunal. [More…]
The reason why one wishes to disclose this material to the applicant is exactly the reason that we have been discussing for the last half hour; it is in order that the applicant can be well armed, that he can know the nature of the case against him and that he can present rebutting evidence accordingly. [More…]
There is an analogy in that respect between the nature of the proceedings there and the nature of the quasi-judicial proceedings that are in issue here. [More…]
Sub-clause 1 (a) relates to the Australian Security Intelligence Organization’s having furnished, or alleged to have furnished, to a Commonwealth agency a security assessment or a communication of a similar nature concerning a person. [More…]
( 1 ) Where before the commencement of this Act the Organization furnished, or is alleged to have furnished, to a Commonwealth agency a security assessment, or a communication of a similar nature, concerning a person, that person may make an application in writing to the Ombudsman to determine whether there is in existence among the records of a Commonwealth agency an adverse or qualified security assessment relating to that person. [More…]
I think the degree to which the Minister’s personal responsibility is involved is greater than I would have been prepared to countenance if I believed that a situation of a practical nature existed in which this review could be undertaken. [More…]
His Honour was moved to report that situations of this nature could arise in which a person’s reputation, unbeknown to him, had been prejudiced in the judgment of people who might still be significant figures in Australian Government administration. [More…]
It may be simply that somewhere on the public records of the Australian Government there is an adverse comment about him which is untrue and which by its very nature he ought to have recourse to have expunged. [More…]
Quite clearly the report that Mr Justice Hope envisages as constituting the annual report of ASIO will be something that contains material which of its very nature is critical to the operations of the security service. [More…]
I think that there is some misunderstanding as to the nature of the auditing process and the keeping of accounts by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. [More…]
Of course, there is no need in such a report for information to be provided about the detailed nature of the Organisation’s activities. [More…]
There can be no objection, in our view, to a report being made available to the Parliament on the general nature of the activities of the Organisation. [More…]
Surely the information which is secret is information about the nature of those warrants, the circumstances in which they were issued and in respect of whom they were issued. [More…]
Therefore I move this amendment which suggests that there should be a report of a general nature to the Parliament, a report, which would contain certain items of information that do not in any sense fall within the basket of necessarily being kept secret for reasons of the security of this country. [More…]
In view of the repetitive nature of this debate I will not do so. [More…]
Nevertheless I think that periodic investigations of this nature should be carried out. [More…]
The amendment which Senator Missen moved, however, seems to me to be on somewhat more dangerous ground simply because of the nature of the Bill and the organisation to which he seeks to attach a sunset clause. [More…]
I think this is something to which the Government will have to give close attention, because if this type of legislation became too common, it would have very severe consequences of a practical nature for the operations of Parliament itself, to say nothing of government. [More…]
I shall explain briefly the nature of the changes which the Government has decided should be made to the income equalisation deposits scheme. [More…]
However, it is recognised that developments of a substantial nature should not be delayed unnecessarily simply because they incorporate a small amount of retail space. [More…]
Because of the unusual nature of this structure and other related factors, application of the present law would present difficulties. [More…]
Because of the short-term nature of the proposal, provision has been made for the scheme to cease on 21 December 1979, or such later date as is fixed by proclamation, and for the amount available for payment of bounty not to exceed $45,000 annually. [More…]
How sincere is an answer of that nature when we know that for the last week Ministers have been meeting as an expenditure review committee to consider the further cutting of public expenditure? [More…]
We recognised that commercial television, by its very nature, was not geared to cater adequately for minority audiences. [More…]
We believe, therefore, that any harmful effects that could flow from programming of this nature could be mitigated to a significant extent by less emphasis on this particular type of programming and greater emphasis on programmes that reflect true Australian life-styles and a more balanced and sensible portrayal of the roles and aspirations of both sexes in our society. [More…]
I am not prepared to disclose at this stage what was the nature of those discussions. [More…]
I certainly agree that reports of that nature are most useful and relevant when they are produced close to the time to which they relate. [More…]
The Government has under consideration a proposal which would change the nature of the broadcasting and communications industry throughout Australia and which would have the most serious of implications for employment, particularly for Australia’s largest employer, Telecom Australia. [More…]
Although, as Senator Ryan has said, it was suggested in Mr Green’s report of 1 976 that an inquiry of this nature would be needed, it had in fact been suggested at a far earlier stage. [More…]
I hope the inquiry will be as productive as the inquiry conducted by Lord Annan into the nature of broadcasting in Great Britain, when the review of broadcasting matters in the light of current developments allowed the British broadcasting system as a whole to be set in a number of new directions in a very profitable and productive fashion. [More…]
We find that here the Government has been cautious, conservative, lilyliveredindeed, any collection of adjectives that one might like to assemble to describe its nature in general terms. [More…]
The Committee will note that in sub-clause (3) we have been fortunate in being able to extend to Norfolk Island a better provision in relation to the capacity of a commissioner of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission to go there and deal with a broader range of industrial matters than would be applicable in most areas of Australia because of the nature of the Federal Constitution and the Federal compact. [More…]
3 ) Whether one doctor or more than one doctor is chosen to act as a tribunal to undertake a review depends on the nature and complexity of the case. [More…]
This procedure is not followed where the nature of the case indicates that the claimant was never permanently incapacitated. [More…]
The Deputy Crown Solicitor in Adelaide has advised me that while some matters, mostly those of a more complex nature, are not able to be dealt with as expeditiously as he would wish, the work of his Office is, generally speaking, up to date. [More…]
He raised the matter again on several occasions, but the second question he asked was of a different nature. [More…]
I invite all honourable senators to do so if they want to understand the simple nature of this allegation which is made by the Opposition. [More…]
They do their best to answer the questions as truthfully and as honestly as they can but in the nature of things the answers they give to questions without notice in this place must be in general terms. [More…]
To assess the nature of Senator Wriedt ‘s speech one has to understand, first of all, that he is the shadow spokesman on foreign affairs and that this is not a cast off couple of paragraphs made in some other speech. [More…]
The Bill does not affect the disciplinary provisions of the Public Service Act, and modifies the other provisions mentioned which have been described in the past as being of too summary a nature, by providing a more extensive range of appeal rights available to staff affected, and by setting out more clearly the framework within which decisions are taken. [More…]
As I indicated earlier in my remarks, the amendment embodies in the Bill before the Senate is of a technical nature and I would hope that the Senate will give it a speedy passage. [More…]
As 1 stated on 27 April of this year, the amendments presented in this Bill are of an administrative nature and in no way affect the general principles embodied in the principal Act. [More…]
In order to reap in additional revenue the Government has taken the extraordinary steps of applying against our indigenous people legislation of a retrospective nature and a rate of taxation which is higher than that applied to the mining companies. [More…]
In a debate of this nature it is worth mentioning what will be the inevitable result, unless there is very careful planning and very careful application of sound principles, for the Aboriginal communities which will receive the amounts of money that have been agreed to. [More…]
Last evening Senator Gietzelt referred to these royalties or what we may call royalty akin payments as not being royalties at all but rather in the nature of some sort of compensation. [More…]
It is in the nature of rent paid by a lessee for working it and for the disposal of minerals. [More…]
In future the royalties may be of such a nature that there will be profits for Aboriginals in those areas large enough to take over the Commonwealth Government’s obligation to fund land councils. [More…]
I refer to the obstruction of which the Government has been guilty in introducing legislation which allegedly it considers to be of an urgent nature and which, if urgent, is so only because of its own fault. [More…]
The sections in that Divisionproposed section 128U and following sectionsindicate the nature of the income which is to be taxed and how that tax is to be collected. [More…]
The Ministers commented that, because of the unusual nature of the Aboriginal bodies to which revenues from mining would flow, if the present income tax law were allowed to apply there could be some inappropriate and unintended effects. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that there may be some room for doubt as to the precise nature of the royalty payments which are being received by Aboriginals under the various arrangements which apply but this system of taxation will impose a very low percentage rate of taxation. [More…]
Although some honourable senators opposite were concerned at some of the technical points put forward by Government senators, it is important to see that the principle that a compensation payment should not be taxed needs to be examined in the light of the nature of the payments which were actually received. [More…]
He referred to the involuntary nature of the Gemco agreement on Groote Eylandt. [More…]
With respect to the matters which have been raised by Senator Colston, I think that I am precluded from offering opinions of a legal nature and therefore withstand the temptation to do so. [More…]
I am grateful to Senator Baume for reminding me of the progressive nature of the Australian newspaper. [More…]
There is an acknowledgment from this side of the chamber certainly that there is a great need for the provision of more and more substantial services of this nature throughout the community. [More…]
I am unaware of the present situation with regard to it, but I am told that in April 1979 the Western Australian Department of Public Health advised the Commonwealth Department of Health that in the past there had been problems of an accounting nature and that, more recently the organisation had struggled to maintain hygiene standards. [More…]
Such attacks, by their very nature, are indiscriminate. [More…]
Most of it is carried in Australian flag ships, but the threat to this shipping is very slight because of the improbability of this type of warfare and the indiscriminate nature of submarine attack. [More…]
One could possibly justify such a ship as a simple platform for STOL aircraft to support the amphibious force in conditions where the submarine threat, by the very nature of the operation, would be slight or negligible. [More…]
Surely there must be a cut-off point where judges lower down the judicial scale are not entitled to a car and service of the nature revealed at the Estimates committee. [More…]
One of the side effects of mining uranium in this country will be that when the rich ore bodies are exhausted and the fields are abandonedwhether they are fields of the nature of Maralinga or fields such as Mary Kathleenthose areas will have to be put under constant watch, probably for thousands of years. [More…]
Perhaps the appointment of a committee of the Senate is required to take a very close look at this report and question whether it was a rushed report or whether the report was subject to subsequent editing of a scientific nature, not of a literary nature. [More…]
Turtles are becoming scarce because nature is not allowing the turtle population to develop. [More…]
The Department has considerable expertise in this area but when advice of this nature is sought, my department does not only rely on its own resources. [More…]
I am not aware of the nature of the facilities for drug detection at Perth airport. [More…]
If I were he I would not raise an issue of this nature. [More…]
However, many land use interests, such as nature conservation, soils, forestry and environment, are covered by existing ministerial councils. [More…]
In the field of nature conservation, the Commonwealth and States have recognised certain priorities as having national significance. [More…]
It will continue to press for an ordered approach to the needs of nature conservation on a co-operative basis with State Ministers through the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
At the same time the Committee wishes to emphasise the folly of confusing national policies with uniform controls and regulations which by their nature are unable to take into account the great variety of physical properties and social needs existing between and within States. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that yesterday I pointed out that the Government’s key policy would be the pursuit of long term research from which we would learn the nature of the ecosystem and something of its management. [More…]
Those permits were not matters of a critical nature which related to our decisions. [More…]
It reads: lt would be in vain to attempt an enumeration or every act which might bc construed into a contempt, the power to punish Tor contempt being in its nature discretionary. [More…]
But the Premier and the Government determined that no referendum would be held to put the legislation into the Constitution, because they knew the nature of the Bill. [More…]
Acquiescence on an issue of this nature could see someone like Mr Walker in five years’ time as Minister for Truth. [More…]
In addition, the Commonwealth provides other financial assistance through local government bodies to other programs which, as I think we all know, are generally of a social welfare nature. [More…]
The nature of this general development is very serious. [More…]
A lot of people just don’t understand the nature of nuclear energy and its success in numerous other pans of the world. [More…]
I want to say something about what I see as being undue and unwarranted, if not irresponsible, optimism by some people as to the true nature of the wool market and the immediate prospects. [More…]
So there is considerable doubt, and I think there always will be because of the very nature of the problem, in assessing the final consequences for industry income of a scheme of this nature. [More…]
I know of no suspension of the nature mentioned by the honourable senator. [More…]
Because of the serious nature of the allegations, I have responded as quickly as possible. [More…]
Enquiries have been made of the Commonwealth Police and the preliminary police reply indicates that the police patrols were not aware of any incident of the nature alleged. [More…]
On the other hand, as copyright is in the nature of a monopoly, the law should ensure, as far as possible, that the rights conferred are not abused and that study, research and education are not unduly hampered. [More…]
It drew particular attention to the right to copy minor or insubstantial parts of a work; the right to make copies in the course of what is known in copyright law as a ‘fair dealing’; and the right to engage in copying of a public benefit nature by librarians, educational bodies, research establishments and individuals. [More…]
The precise nature of the provisions for fixing any such remuneration was a matter on which there was a division of opinion between members of the Franki Committee. [More…]
He glossed over the very substantial nature of the program before us. [More…]
The States Grants (Schools Assistance) Amendment Bill 1979 and the States Grants (Tertiary Education Assistance) Amendment Bill 1 979, are essentially of a machinery nature. [More…]
I think that the changing nature of Commonwealth-State relationships reflected in the education sector is one of the factors that we have to bear in mind in discussions of the Commonwealth’s role of providing the money, as it does in the schools sector, without having much of the constitutional power to see that the money is spent according to its own priorities that it may consider important. [More…]
The changing nature of this relationship is reflected even in the table which Senator Button has had incorporated in Hansard. [More…]
It is an area in which honourable senators and honourable members in the other place have from time to time had some critical things to say about the quality and nature of management in Australia. [More…]
There are a great many unemployed in that area and the construction of a college of this nature would ameliorate or overcome many of the conditions that are complained of by those who anxiously seek work. [More…]
In a moment I shall explain the nature of the amendment which the Opposition desires to move. [More…]
It will also stimulate our young folk in research of alternatives and it is heartening to find so many now interested in conserving wildlife and appreciating nature. [More…]
As this information is of a semi-confidential nature, it would be appropriate if interested parties sought clearance to review submissions. [More…]
Members of Estimates Committees E and D, I think, will recall even Senator Wright’s putting a proposition of the exact nature that the honourable senator has proposed, namely, that some action should be taken to reduce fares, to establish a free bus service, or some concession in relation to public transport in Canberra. [More…]
Nothing in the nature of that conversation ever occurred at all. [More…]
Until now, the backroom nature of the involvement of the organisers has made investigation, and subsequent proof in the courts, virtually impossible. [More…]
A third and very serious reason for my opposition to this ordinance is that it is undemocratic and arbitrary in nature. [More…]
The provision in this ordinance was quite anomalous, setting aside the nature of the decision that the Assembly made and its validity or otherwise. [More…]
That is the true Liberal philosophy: The strong will flourish and the weak will go to the wall- nature’s law. [More…]
I wish to make one general observation about the nature of the education debate which has taken place since this Government came to power. [More…]
I shall make some general comments about the nature of the statement which the Minister has presented. [More…]
The fact is that if one looks at the decline in expenditure of a capital nature in relation to universities and colleges one sees that it is dramatic and significant. [More…]
In fact, on closer examination of the point of view that FAUSA put, it came down to saying in bald terms that it considered itself to be a trade union and therefore not required to justify advanced cases of a more academic or objective nature when challenged to do so. [More…]
The Committee believes this is of great significance because the committee is multiparty in composition and jealously guards the apolitical nature of its inquiries. [More…]
This Bill deals with the commercial activities of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission and it sets up a base on which the Commission can give loan guarantees and things of that nature. [More…]
The opposition to this measure, which is apparent from the speeches of Labor senators and Senator Mason, who spoke on behalf of the Australian Democrats, seems to come about because of a misunderstanding of the nature of this Bill. [More…]
The bashing that this Government has given to the rural community is completely vindictive in its nature and the man who introduced this Bill should be ashamed of himself and of his failure to exercise his responsibility on behalf of his electorate. [More…]
I will quote some examples of the nebulous nature of both statements. [More…]
To that extent the legislation is of great concern to all Australians because it typifies in another way the Government’s inability to comprehend the nature of problems it has to confront and contend with and its consequent inability to provide rational solutions. [More…]
But the essentially random nature of the proposal- anyone may be ‘declared’ just because an area of work has been reduced for any reason- is likely to be punishing to morale. [More…]
I think that is inherent in the approach last January, but I will certainly take to the Foreign Minister the thought expressed by Senator Wheeldon that it might be desirable to re-emphasise the nature of Australia’s thoughts and responsibilities. [More…]
I think it is a misunderstanding of the nature of the proceedings following the making of charges of this kind to suggest that there should be a royal commission or a judicial inquiry. [More…]
The cost escalation relates to the recurrent expenditures, which are salaries and expenses in the nature of salaries. [More…]
It is not only a matter of the nature of a statute and the providing of a definition of a particular subject matter and it is not only a matter of the historical legal notions regarding these matters, but it is also a matter of importance in determining, in the context of dealing with this Bill, where the Australian Public Service is going in relation to this vitally important question. [More…]
The general nature of the existing clause 7 ( 1 ) (b) (iii), which is the concern of the Opposition, is limited in the three ways which I have mentioned. [More…]
The nature and extent of the provision to be made and whether a particular aspect should be included in the procedures and criteria statements or in regulations or in both is still under consideration. [More…]
The nature and extent of the provision to be made and whether a particular aspect should be included in the procedures and criteria statements or in regulations or both, is still under consideration. [More…]
The Tribunal is unaware of the nature of the discussions and the reasons for the reported breakdown. [More…]
The ministerial council agreed that provision should also be made for a prominent businessman to serve on the Corporation to ensure that its membership reflects the nature of the partnership between the three levels of government and the private sector in the development of the growth centre. [More…]
In the 2 1 years since the Migration Act was passed, the character of the Australian community has markedly changed, with radical amendment to immigration policies and in the volume and nature of movements into and out of Australia. [More…]
Given the changes in the nature and volume of entry of people into Australia and the need in the light of recent review legislation for every major procedure to have its foundation in law, it has become necessary for it to be given a statutory basis in the Migration Act. [More…]
Other provisions in the Bill are of a technical nature, designed to improve control mechanisms and to correct deficiencies. [More…]
These clauses related to the dual nature of the proposed police force as the Minister stated a minute ago. [More…]
That tends to underline the significance and importance of that work and why it ought to be done by people who are responsible to government rather than a body of some private nature. [More…]
The Opposition’s particular quarrel is with sub-clause (2) of that clause which relates to the specific question of the nature and extent of the directions which can be given by the Minister or the government of the day to the Chief Commissioner. [More…]
Those reservations are that any such direction, whatever its nature, be it of a general police kind or much more specific, shall be given [More…]
There is quite a long line of common law cases, the best known of which in Australia is the case of Enever v. R in 1 905 in which the courts enunciated the principle that constables or police officers- peace officers as common law terminology tends to have it- are not public servants in the ordinary way, but exercise an independent authority which is derived from the very nature of their office. [More…]
It does not take much in the nature of a further extension of that common law reasoning to find oneself confronted with the kind of claim that was asserted by Commissioner Salisbury in South Australia that his allegiance as a commissioner was owed not to the government of the day as his employer, but owed directly to the Crown. [More…]
a ) the nature of the functions of the Section; and [More…]
“(2) Where the Tribunal is satisfied that it is desirable to do so in the public interest or by reason of the confidential nature of any evidence or matter, the Tribunal may- [More…]
the appointment of the Commissioner, or of another police officer nominated by the Commissioner, to assist the Tribunal in connection with a proceeding before the Tribunal by furnishing advice to the Tribunal with respect to the nature of the action that it would be appropriate to take in respect of a police officer found by the Tribunal to have committed a breach of discipline; [More…]
If it is thought more appropriate that something in the nature of a disciplinary charge be brought against the alleged offending officer, such disciplinary charges are to be dealt with by the police tribunal. [More…]
We have had an undertaking from the Government that something in the nature of legislation on this subject will be introduced at some unspecified time in the future. [More…]
“(3) The liability of the Commonwealth under subsection ( I ) does not extend to a liability to pay damages in the nature of punitive damages. [More…]
“(4) Where damages or costs, other than damages in the nature of punitive damages, are, in proceedings with respect to a tort committed by a police officer in the performance or purported performance of his duties as such an officer, directed to be paid by the police officer, the Commonwealth may pay to the plaintiff the whole or a part of those damages or costs and may pay to the police officer any costs incurred by him in the proceedings and not recovered. [More…]
The nature of the Yiamouyiannis study is apparent in an excerpt from Dr Mack’s review: [More…]
Also included in the Bill are changes of an administrative nature. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that when the Tariff Proposals were introduced a summary in respect of each of the Proposals was circulated setting out the nature of the change in duty rates and the origin of each change. [More…]
That Bill was amended by the Government after debate on it had almost been completed in the Committee stage which is a testimony to the hasty and ill-considered nature of the legislation. [More…]
This draws attention again to the hastily and ill considered nature of this move, this further desperation move by a desperate government. [More…]
) This does not involve anything in the nature of what is referred to in the question as a ‘colonial cringe’. [More…]
Section S 1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act authorises income tax deductions for losses and outgoings incurred in gaining or producing assessable income or necessarily incurred in carrying on business for that purpose except to the extent to which they are losses or outgoings of capital or of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
It was suggested to the proponents that because of the nature of the project, it could be eligible for funding under the Schools Commission’s Services and Development Program which is administered by the South Australian Services and Development Committee. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Minister for Science and the Environment to claims by the Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales that one of the world’s unique beauty spots, Lord Howe Island, is in danger of ruination by well-intentioned incompetents. [More…]
Therefore, I do not propose to disclose the nature of the advice or to table any opinions that may be given by my Department in relation to other matters. [More…]
It is a matter of record, as Senator Puplick says, that in response to an international request the Australian Government indicated the nature of a work force that it might be willing to send under particular conditions to Namibia during the conduct of elections there. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs aware that Sir John Crawford is currently conducting an investigation into the nature and extent of aid to Papua New Guinea? [More…]
Fortunately, I suppose, mother nature intervened and the effect of the tides was such that no major damage claims resulted. [More…]
Their long service leave entitlement in terms of money reflects the onerous nature of their work long after they have, as it were, transcended the bench and entered another sphere of life on, indeed, a sphere of death, in which case the benefits flow to the widow. [More…]
Senator Button outlined some views about the nature of long leave- about what the entitlements to it should be throughout the community. [More…]
That has been the uncompromising nature of its attack upon inflation as the fundamental and most enduring cause of the economic difficulties of the 1970’s. [More…]
Some veterans, because of the nature of these disabilities, are provided with cars at no cost to them, together with an annual allowance. [More…]
Strictly speaking, the answer to the question is ‘ nil ‘, as any transfer of the nature referred to would require a constitutional amendment. [More…]
The provision of education services and responsibility for education matters in the Northern Territory, excepting those of a national nature for which the Commonwealth has a continuing responsibility, will be transferred to the Northern Territory Government on 1 July 1979. [More…]
However, the proposed new Nature Conservation Ordinance will introduce such controls. [More…]
(ii) Sub-regulation 2 10A (2) of the Australian Military Regulations provides that a member of the Army who is not employed on continuous full time military service shall not use his military rank when taking part in any activity of a political nature or in connection with any municipal or other local government council or corporation. [More…]

1 ) and (2) The Minister’s office was advised on 6 June that a story about the Reliance Investment Pty Ltd group of companies was to be published in the Age on 7 June based on information purchased by the newspaper, lt was not until after publication of the Age on 7 June that the details of the article, the nature of the material, and its source became known to the Minister. [More…]
Several population surveys of drug use have been carried out in Australia in recent years, but it is difficult to compare study findings and reach any conclusions other than those of a general nature. [More…]
What most distinguishes electronic surveillance from ordinary search and seizure for physical objects is that electronic surveillance tends by its very nature to be exploratory, unselective and indiscriminate. [More…]
It went on to draw attention to the nature of the material that should be placed before a judge when he was asked to issue a warrant for the interception of communications. [More…]
It is one in which there needs to be a great deal of attention paid to the question of penalties, particularly penalties of a highly punitive nature. [More…]
The most important objection to electronic eavesdropping is, as the Law Reform Commission has put it in paragraph 220 of its report, that by its very nature it is exploratory, unselective and indiscriminate. [More…]
I do not refer to the setting out of details of particular cases or anything of the kind, but rather to making clear the nature and extent of the use of these devices, so that Parliament can exercise at least some control on behalf of the community of the way, in practice, this legislation is implemented. [More…]
As was stated by the Law Reform Commission, electronic surveillance of this kind is, by its very nature, exploratory, unselective and indiscriminate. [More…]
We have proposed a lesser period than that in the Bill because in principle, as Senator Button said, a short period is eminently justified but a shorter period is justified by the peculiar nature of the offences in issue here and their difference from a security situation. [More…]
Constant attempts were made to conceal the true nature of the policy over the years. [More…]
Indeed, for some 58 of those 79 years they have elected governments of our philosophy and kidney- governments of a federalist nature- and have rejected, for all but 20 years, governments of a socialist, centralist nature. [More…]
Therefore, although there can be some feeling that these words are not as clear as Senator Cavanagh would care, they leave the duty essentially to the Regulations and Ordinances Committee to see whether a document that is subject to disallowance is one of the nature specified and therefore one that the Committee ought to report to the Senate. [More…]
There are many things about representation which I think shows the long suffering nature of public servants in trying to satisfy members of the Senate in doing this job. [More…]
It is accompanied by somewhat melodramatic statements of a moralistic nature about the evils of drug trafficking. [More…]
Secondly, we say that it is very unwise legislation in the nature of the powers which it seeks to extend to Customs officers in the present circumstances. [More…]
The seventh point is that there must be a realisation that this is a socio-medical problem rather than one of purely a legal nature. [More…]
The level and nature of their discharge is relatively insignificant. [More…]
The only way in which to get any action of a positive nature in this regard is by adopting the recommendation of the Committee. [More…]
If one wishes to see these books sold, the Australian public made aware of them, and revenue to be derived from their sale, one must put at the head of the Australian Government Publishing Service someone who has an expert knowledge of the commercial sale of publications of this nature. [More…]
The level and nature of their discharge is relatively insignificant. [More…]
I have mentioned the bipartisan nature of this report and I do not want to inject political elements into the debate, but it ought to be remembered- and I make this point because I served in the Department of Foregin Affairs at this time- that during the latter days of the Labor Government and well before the end of 1975, when Senator Willesee was the Minister for Foreign Affairs and there was a Prime Minister who was an active participant in foreign policy matters, the Department of Foreign Affairs was being reduced in its capacity to control and co-ordinate Australia’s foreign policy. [More…]
Nevertheless, before papers of this nature are given the privilege of being tabled in this place, for further use or misuse, the matter should be given considerable thought. [More…]
All honourable senators know that that is how human nature works. [More…]
Given its nature, that body of opinion will require a serious response both from Salisbury and from the Patriotic Front. [More…]
In addition, there are two proposed amendments of a machinery nature to the Commonwealth Inscribed Stock Act 1911. [More…]
The amendments fall into groups for a number of important specific purposes and there are numerous other amendments mainly of a minor nature. [More…]
Many are of a purely drafting or machinery nature. [More…]
It may be one that is justified by the horrific nature of the trade that we are talking about, but the onus of defending that justification rests very much upon the Government, given the unprecedented character of the incursions upon what hitherto have been regarded as the rights of individuals. [More…]
Although the vesting in it of powers with respect to electronic surveillance does represent a quantum jump, as it were, in the range and nature of its law enforcement power, it certainly is true to say that in the past Customs officers in general and narcotics officers in particular have had very wide powers in the search and seizure area. [More…]
What we do say, however- I cannot repeat the point too often- is that the exercise of these powers is very dangerous indeed because of the essentially exploratory, unselective, indiscriminate nature of the privacy intrusions that are necessarily involved in the use of electronic surveillance procedures of the kind that we are talking about. [More…]
In Canberra ‘s case, that relationship was significant in determining the nature of the plant to be considered. [More…]
whether the matter leading to the arrest and imprisonment of Senator Georges was of a civil or criminal nature; and [More…]
whether, if the Committee determines that the matter was of a civil nature, the arrest and imprisonment of Senator Georges constituted a breach of the privileges of the Senate. [More…]
I draw the Minister’s attention to claims by the Nature Conservation Council of New South Wales that one of the world’s unique beauty spots, Lord Howe Island, is in danger of ruination by wellintentioned incompetents. [More…]
I understand that the New South Wales Government is fully aware of the nature conservation problems and is implementing measures on the island to overcome them. [More…]
The international significance of the endemic species on the island is widely recognised and the New South Wales Government is continuing to pursue the implementation of appropriate nature conservation activities. [More…]
Nothing of that nature has been shown to exist. [More…]
Senator Carrick recognises that serious difficulties of a legal nature arise in regard to this matter. [More…]
I made that as a clear and positive statement regarding the nature of the documents. [More…]
So let it be perfectly clear that the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate has had full access to the nature of the documents but, as I understand it, they are public documents. [More…]
-Rather than begging the question, I have asked for information as to the nature of the alleged smears. [More…]
Because I knew, as Senator Ryan knew, that there would be a Broadband program of a particular nature, I asked my people to tape the program so that I could hear the substance of it. [More…]
I have always understood that honourable senators, in particular, were not allowed to travel on VIP aircraft within their State or without it, unless- as has often been said- there was an airline strike or something of that nature and a special aircraft was put on to ferry the senator back to his or her State. [More…]
I realise that when speaking on Bills of this nature it is possible to elaborate somewhat in order to make a point that is relevant to the Bill but which sometimes does not seem to be. [More…]
I am speaking from a background of a far different nature, and I will draw on my experiences and associate those with the Bill. [More…]
Although a great number of people receive the unemployment benefit and a great number of people receive the sickness benefit, by the very nature of their disability they cannot organise themselves as well as the pensioners organised themselves. [More…]
The nature conservation legislation that was the brainchild of a Minister named Joseph Berinson from Western Australia was another pacesetter. [More…]
The report contains a number of significant recommendations which, in many respects, build on the recommendations of the earlier report to which I have referred, taking into account developments since that time and the many significant changes in the nature of this city and of the Capital Territory as a whole. [More…]
Unfortunately, a discussion of this nature usually tends to degenerate into little more than a theoretical abstraction, and I hope that my contribution tonight will not fall into that category. [More…]
It is in relation to the compulsory nature of health insurance that I address my remarks tonight. [More…]
You discover how your spiritual nature interacts with others. [More…]
But I would have thought that on flights of that nature he would at least have extended the invitation- it might have been refused- to the other Queensland representatives. [More…]
The major question is: What is the nature of the conduct which should be the subject of, I presume, not only investigation but also some action by government or by the law? [More…]
This form of assistance, which is of a humanitarian and relief nature, forms only a tiny proportion of the total outlays of the specialised agencies concerned. [More…]
What was the purpose of the inquiry by Commonwealth Police and the nature of the questioning of Mr Wood? [More…]
In the course of the debate, I misunderstood the nature of the amendment and accused Senator Button of doing so also. [More…]
We do not see it as being particularly onerous, particularly when we consider the nature of electronic surveillance and the points which we have tried to make about its totally indiscriminate nature and the fact that it catches everybody from the grocer taking a weekly order to a lover, or something like that. [More…]
Any relevant information will be incorporated in the reports and virtually all of it will, in the nature of things, be of a sensitive nature and, as such, it would not be possible to carry out the obligation sought in the proposed amendment of compiling in full all detail in these reports. [More…]
Therefore, the Government wishes the Parliament- it is not for the Government, but for the Parliament as it is a proposal made to the Parliament- to express by the nature of the penalty, imprisonment for life, its strongest feelings about conduct of this kind. [More…]
The amounts in each category- trafficable, commercial and so on- are obviously less for resin than for cannabis itself because of the differing nature of the form of the substance and the different density of its potent qualities. [More…]
That is a euphemistic expression which is employed in the Act to refer to the outcome of civil, not criminal, proceedings which may be brought against suspected drug dealers and possessors and which can result in the imposition of open-ended penalties in the nature of fines, although they are not so described, and which also attract subsidiary procedures, including an entitlement in the Government, if such a proceeding is pursued successfully, to freeze the assets of a suspected drug offender. [More…]
He said a moment ago in relation to the Opposition’s previous amendment that our worries about the incorporation of a particular burden of proof provision which does appear elsewhere in the Act was inappropriate because this was, although not technically criminal, in the nature of a criminal proceeding like the rest of the Act, and accordingly it is appropriate that the kind of evidentiary provision which prevailed there should apply here. [More…]
To many Australians who listened to the Budget Speech that night the sugar coating would have given the Budget some degree of attractiveness, but soon the bitter nature of the Budget became evident. [More…]
Let me look at another aspect of the change in income patterns in Australia, that is, the singularly discriminatory nature of the Government’s attitude towards these questions. [More…]
I quote again figures which have been used during the course of this debate in order to highlight the nature of that lack of equitable distribution. [More…]
It is quite obvious that it is the intention of Mr Fraser and all his colleagues, as was displayed here today, to maintain in this country the most inequitable income distribution possible because that is the nature of Liberal philosophy. [More…]
We heard honourable senators in a previous debate referring to the fact that technology is something of a progressive nature. [More…]
His approach to the Budget was a knocking approach, but that is the nature of politics. [More…]
The arguments flow from the very nature of the schemes the subject of this discussion, and I simply reincorporate here the list of characteristics of the paper schemes that I referred to earlier in this speech. [More…]
The argument as to whether it is justified is essentially then the same kind of argument as I have just been putting based upon the essential nature of these schemes. [More…]
Certainly, the refugee problem, the shortages of food, and the nature of the regime there will tend to aggravate the increase in the number of boat people, and the Government and the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs have been making major efforts in that regard. [More…]
I said that I would be prepared to look at the New South Wales position to determine the class and nature of recommendations from the Appeals Tribunal which were not accepted. [More…]
Normally, perhaps because of my nature, I seek to find even in government activity those things which are good in any measure, even though as a member of the Opposition one might be opposing the measure as a whole. [More…]
I still believe that it was a reasonable proposition then to consider the different nature of softwoods and hardwoods and the extent to which different States need to participate. [More…]
I feel that many other schemes of a similar nature will follow provided that we can get a better communication process between the Federal Government, the Tasmanian Premier and his Ministers. [More…]
This legislation is of quite a minor nature and therefore I do not intend to deal with it in any great detail. [More…]
Already ten of our forty classrooms are of a portable nature, and the quality of this accommodation is far from ideal. [More…]
The honourable member for Gellibrand, who has the unenviable task of trying to explain the Labor Party’s view of economic issues to the electorate, when referring to previous experience, was reported as admitting, ‘wage increases of a very large nature made it inevitable that there would be very large price increases following . [More…]
I believe that what Senator Melzer has said about the children in these hospitals- she referred to the suffering and the ways of living and also to the unsatisfactory nature of the hospitals- to be accurate. [More…]
The piecemeal approach has proved totally inadequate, not only because there is a delay in discovery of and dealing with tax avoidance schemes as they proliferate, not only because the tax avoidance industry is, by its nature, hydraheaded no sooner is one head cut down than 10 spring up in its place- but also because the piecemeal approach to dealing with tax avoidance schemes continues the very atmosphere of a sporting contest, the very atmosphere where the fortunes of the game fluctuate. [More…]
I welcome the opportunity afforded by Senator Tate’s motion, which I fully support, to draw attention once again, as indeed I did last night in the Budget debate, to the nature and scope of the tax avoidance problem and the measures which ought to be taken to solve it. [More…]
Regrettably, however, one fears that the nature and scope of the problem that we are talking about is such that it will not be solved, certainly not overnight, by relying on unenforceable ethical constraints of that kind. [More…]
In view of the answer the Minister has just given to the previous question, can he assure the Senate that any developments that may take place in other parts of Australia will be of such a standard as not to require future advice of the nature given to the Atomic Energy Commission? [More…]
The Minister has now informed me that the nature of the current Teletext trials is such that a decision on the possible use of this system to assist deaf persons will not be possible before the commencement of Deafness Awareness Week, the first week in October. [More…]
Aboriginal alcohol programs: in defining the exact nature of the problems, in developing suitable policies, and in planning and implementing effective programs. [More…]
The growing importance of credit in the community is a recognition of a change in the nature of trading. [More…]
It was said on, I believe, the very first occasion when I was present during a debate of this nature, that it would not happen again; that it was a matter of very great urgency; that it was to be a fairly short meeting and had to be held. [More…]
I might add that the Social Services Act, with its Commonwealth Rehabilitation Service, is open to any Commonwealth Government employee who is able to use that Service, and under that Act any medical expenses or other expenses of this nature would be able to be approved. [More…]
That unusual nature brings with it the inability to provide a clear definition and that, in turn, presents a bonanza to the legal profession. [More…]
These are the people for whom the Opposition is particularly concerned because of the nature of the work that they do for the Commonwealth and for the Australian public. [More…]
Then there is the invisible nature of radioactivity. [More…]
The identification of the unemployed, the nature of the unemployed and their potential aptitudes and lack of basic skills are matters that have been engaging a number of departments of the Government for some considerable time. [More…]
One of the reasons for the creation of the new Department of Employment and Youth Affairs was to enable a heavy concentration on the general picture of who are employed, what are the availabilities of jobs, who are the unemployed and the nature of the unemployed. [More…]
There will, undoubtedly, always be overpayments in the Department because of the nature ofthe system of sending cheques on a particular day in accordance with the latest advice that the clients have given to the Department. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs aware that Sir John Crawford is currently conducting an investigation into the nature and extent of aid to Papua New Guinea. [More…]
I am not able to comment on the extent to which the difference in licence fees reflects a difference in servicing costs or something of that nature. [More…]
Government to participate in schemes of this nature. [More…]
We may need legislation to give effect to it, depending on the nature of the solution. [More…]
The huge scale and the rapidly increasing nature of the expenditure on the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation could perhaps best be appreciated were I to incorporate in Hansard a table setting out the financing of that Organisation over the last 10 years. [More…]
I wish to summarise fairly baldly the nature of the exchanges which have so far taken place. [More…]
The minor portions of the accounts which are to be exempt are those which contain payments of such a confidential nature that the disclosure of them, even to the Auditor-General and his officers, would be contrary to the national interest. [More…]
That section authorises 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…]
ls consideration being given to the rejection of the final EIS and to repetition of the whole process in the light of the fundamental difference between the project as presented in the final EIS and the project as proposed in the draft EIS and in the light of the unsatisfactory nature of the final EIS. [More…]
I am not aware of the nature of the statement made by the Minister for Finance yesterday; therefore, I cannot comment on what he said. [More…]
Appropriate action may well depend on an assessment of the benefit-to-risk ratio that takes into account the therapeutic importance of the drug and the nature of the adverse effect. [More…]
I am not aware of the nature of the report. [More…]
They still vote for the recognition of the Pol Pot regime, although they condemn, as we condemn, the horrendous nature of that regime. [More…]
Certainly, the refugee problem, the shortages of food and the nature of the regime there will tend to aggravate the increase in the number of boat people. [More…]
I indicated the nature of the serious matter to which I wish to advert. [More…]
I told them of the nature and the manner in which I hoped to resolve them. [More…]
Because of the nature of Tasmanian society I am personally acquainted with most of those who work in the Official Receiver’s Office in Hobart. [More…]
Though much of the conflict could be attributed to personal misunderstanding and rivalries, even jealousy and petty squabbles, we believe and we have evidence that the main reason for the divisiveness is of a political nature. [More…]
Will the Minister take up this matter with the Arbitration Commission to see that at all times at least a presidential member or an arbitration commissioner is available in Sydney to deal expeditiously with urgent matters of this nature? [More…]
To illustrate the nature of the various financing transactions used to fund the deficit, I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a table showing the details of government financing transactions for 1978-79 and the way in which overseas borrowings entered into the financing of the deficit. [More…]
The Government has indicated that the acknowledgment of credentials is no acknowledgment that we accept the nature of the regime or its behaviour. [More…]
Bearing in mind the relatively heavy use of the area by fishing boats, the nature of the weather and the difficulty in communication, the services of the lighthouse keeper at Maatsuyker Island can make a tremendous difference. [More…]
It is the overwhelming view of almost everybody, except a few shipowners and the Department of Transport apparently, that Maatsuyker Island lighthouse is of major importance and should be retained because of the unique nature of the circumstances in which it exists. [More…]
The Western Australian Department of Fisheries and Wildlife was most apprehensive about the fact that, due to the lack of coordination and the absence of a coastguard service, maverick or psychotic fishermen could create havoc with high-powered rifles or something of that nature. [More…]
I am not talking about ships bearing Liberian flags or ships of that nature. [More…]
The draft Plan will then be published so that members of the public are aware of the detailed nature of the Authority’s proposals and are able to comment on them. [More…]
I have always understood that honourable senators, in particular, were not allowed to travel on VIP aircraft within their State or without it, unless- as has often been said- there was an airline strike or something of that nature and a special aircraft was put on to ferry the senator back to his or her State. [More…]
On the question of information related to occupational hazards, the Medical Division of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs is gathering reports on the nature and effects of the herbicide. ‘ [More…]
The nature of the charges brought will depend on the circumstances of each particular case. [More…]
When were the restrictions introduced, and what is their exact nature. [More…]
Because of the nature of the current borrowing programs, future governments will have to live with the increasing debt repayments schedule, which is accumulating at a faster rate than funds are being borrowed. [More…]
The borrowing by the Federal Government is not earmarked for investment in ‘productive’ projects of a long term developmental nature. [More…]
Which has been granted to you, Senator O’Byrne- a senator may explain matters of a personal nature, although there be no Question before the Senate; but such matters may not be debated. [More…]
You may explain matters of a personal nature concerning your situation in this regard. [More…]
Which has been granted to Senator O ‘Byrne- a Senator may explain matters of a personal nature, although there be no Question before the Senate . [More…]
It is the first time in three and a half years that a Bill of this nature has taken this amount of time. [More…]
I would have thought that the first law of nature- self preservation- would have dissuaded Senator Harradine from raising this matter which is very controversial in Tasmania at present. [More…]
In making his recommendations, the Land Commissioner is required by the Act to comment upon such matters as the number of Aboriginals who would be advantaged by the land grant, the nature and extent of that advantage, whether detriment might result to any person or community as a result of the grant and the effect which the grant would have on existing or proposed patterns of land usage. [More…]
We are dealing with a group of people who over the centuries in which we have been here have shown themselves to be very patient, very courteous and very retiring people, people who are not aggressive by nature, people who are very co-operative and people who find it difficult to comprehend our system of values as we seek to rectify the effects of the great crimes we committed against their race over the 200 years in which we have been here. [More…]
As I understand it, the view has been taken by the Government that the legislation ought to be in operation for a period to enable it to assess how many appeals there might be, the nature of those appeals and, in the context of that information, the mechanism by which such appeals might be dealt with. [More…]
The second point that I make about the Bill is that there indeed may be a whole variety of conditions which the Minister, or the officers administering the Bill can require to be satisfied before a passport will be issued, conditions going especially to the nature of the information which much be supplied by the passport applicant. [More…]
Bill sets no limits at all on the nature of such information which may be required, or on any other conditions that must be satisfied before a passport will be issued. [More…]
If he is prepared to take that riskhaving been fully apprised of the nature of the disability in question and made fully aware of the number of countries where he will suffer that disability if he does not give this information at the relevant stage- I find great difficulty in understanding why this compulsory condition should continue to be imposed by the Australian passport authorities. [More…]
This discretion has been retained because of the human and unpredictable nature of the passport function. [More…]
Indeed, if one looks at the nature of those countries, one finds that they include substantially the very countries that people fear will take exception when officials look at the place of birth. [More…]
I understand fully, and sympathise with, the nature and the objectives of the questions being asked. [More…]
I believe that eventually, because of the nature of the area, there will be a movement back. [More…]
I do not know what other honourable senators believe, but I believe that we are being forced by a variety of events over which we have no control to accept a considerable change in the nature and character of our society. [More…]
These are major increases of a quite important nature in expenditure but they tend to distract us from the fact that in terms of funding other areas of research and development have not fared so well in this Budget. [More…]
It goes on to make recommendations about the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Research Grants Committee, the distribution of university funds, the central role that ASTEC has to play and the nature of the reports of the Universities Commission and various other groups and organisations which have made recommendations to the Government in this field. [More…]

One has to appreciate the extent to which changes in technology are changing the pattern of the Australian work force, changing the nature of the work and changing the future of work. [More…]
There is a general lack of debate in the community of a rational nature about atomic energy, what it means, how safe it is, what its prospects are and whether it is worthwhile as part of the intellectual debate about science policy in this country. [More…]
Employment and unemployment, the deficit, the rate of inflation, the problems of salinity in the Murray River- things of that nature- are problems which are essentially capable of solution by various policies adjusted from time to time, case by case, and which are capable of resolution in a political sense. [More…]
Whereas it is proposed by your Government through the medium of the Housing Commission and funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to convert and erect certain special houses for the accommodation of tenants of a substandard nature who do not comply with the minimum standards of acceptability as tenants by the Housing Commission. [More…]
WHEREAS it is proposed by your Government through the medium of the Housing Commission and funded by the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to convert and erect certain special houses for the accommodation of tenants of a substandard nature who do not comply with the minimum standards of acceptability as tenants by the Housing Commission [More…]
I will look at them to see their nature. [More…]
However, clams of that nature are found elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific region. [More…]
In the past, because compensation has not been clearly defined or guaranteed, human nature being what it is people have been reluctant to report what they suspect may be an outbreak. [More…]
Most special benefits would, however, be in the nature of income maintenance payments to persons in need who lack qualifications for other benefits or pensions. [More…]
What is the nature and location of Australia’s official diplomatic trade and other representation in South Africa. [More…]
What other countries have embassies, legations, consular, trade or other formal representation in South Africa, and what is the nature and location of that representation in each case. [More…]
As the true nature of the Pol Pot regime in Kampuchea is now becoming apparent to all Australians, will the Minister explain the technical reasons why the Government continues to recognise this monstrous regime? [More…]
In the meantime I will invite the Minister for Foreign Affairs in another place to study the nature of the question and to respond in a particular fashion. [More…]
That message exposes the confrontation nature of this Government. [More…]
This means that, as Mr Cameron in the other place has pointed out, a dispute which takes place in the north of Australia affecting a small group of people servicing a generator plant or something of that nature could well have a general effect on the whole of the membership of the union. [More…]
It is legislation of a most repressive nature. [More…]
It is legislation of a restrictive nature. [More…]
It is legislation of a repressive nature. [More…]
As the legislation now stands, because of its repressive nature and because of its shackling of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission should be rejected by the Parliament. [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…]
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…]
Certainly, it is probably the most contentious, and it creates greater grounds for industrial disputes and problems in this country than any of the Bills of this nature that have come before the Parliament during this Government’s term of office. [More…]
Let it be said very clearly- I am glad that the Australian Democrats take the same view and I hope that the independent senator will do likewisethat the issues are too big for us to be shovelling legislation of this nature through the Senate tonight. [More…]
An hour after making a statement of that nature, the Government has moved that Government business take precedence of General Business at 8 p.m. [More…]
If one looks for a start at the consultative provisions one will see the requirement that a commissioner consult with a deputy president of the Commission before bringing down anything in the nature of an award variation. [More…]
It is bad in legal principle if this is to be the nature of the obligation that is imposed because, as has been said by numerous speakers, particularly in the debate in the other place, you would then have a person who had not heard the arguments in a particular matter participating, de facto, in the decision, in the resolution of that matter. [More…]
Faced with this obligation and given the disparate and scattered nature of the commissioners and deputy presidents round Australia and the difficulty with job inspections and so on of contacting people and getting people together even over the telephone at short notice, it is obvious that this will represent a whole new procedural hindrance and obstacle to the effective resolution of industrial disputes. [More…]
It seems to me that it is strongly arguable that these powers- both the threshhold declaration powers by the Commission and the subsequent Executive level powers by the Government- are, in fact, by their very character, powers of a judicial nature and as such are unconstitutionally invested in non-judicial bodies as they are here. [More…]
Because of their very serious nature, there must be exceptional and substantial reasons justifying their insertion. [More…]
The nature, frequency, duration and timing of disputes have a significant impact upon the economy. [More…]
Nevertheless, I think it is our duty to try to get on top of this matter, particularly when we have before us legislation of this nature. [More…]
I think we must watch that, and I think the people in Queensland ought to be watching that very carefully in view of the very drastic nature of that legislation. [More…]
There is nothing of the nature of making a decision. [More…]
That is the nature of this legislation. [More…]
I think that possibly the Minister who had charge of the Bill would have more information as to Cabinet’s view on the urgent nature of the Bill. [More…]
Its views are that the requirement of consultation raises problems of a legal, industrial and constitutional nature. [More…]
Approved Australian plans for dealing with suspected exotic animal diseases of this nature require immediate slaughter of susceptible animals. [More…]
In view of the specific and very serious nature of the assertions, will the Treasurer confirm the accuracy, as they affect tax, of the matters alleged to be facts in Dr Mann’s letter? [More…]
Is it not true also that there is no other agreement of this nature with Tasmania, or to my knowledge with any other State, which would require such an enormous repayment program for the amount of the loan? [More…]
I would reiterate the indicative nature of these projections on capital and revenue flows. [More…]
We are all very well aware that the character of the Australian community has changed and that there has been some considerable amendment to immigration policies with the volume and nature of movements of people coming into and moving out of Australia. [More…]
It refers to a number of other fee impositions concerning the conducting of English language tests at overseas posts and things of that nature. [More…]
One wonders who will have to undergo such tests, what the nature of such tests will be and, as Senator Mulvihill asked, who will conduct such tests. [More…]
Secondly, the Opposition would like to point out the unsatisfactory nature of the history of this program, the manner in which expectations have been built up by relatively high appropriations, and how expectations have not been reached by the underspending each year of that amount of money. [More…]
For instance, the most significant changes made to the Bounty (Books) Act were made on the last day, indeed in the last hour of the last sitting day, of the last session, and were made without any debate taking place on them, despite the fact that they were of a fairly substantial nature. [More…]
For instance, the Marihuana Cook Book, which is freely available and which gives a number of recipes for cannabis brownies, for various marihuana drinks, for marihuana salad and things of that nature, is being printed in Australia with the Government’s paying one-third of the cost of the printing under the Bounty (Books) Act. [More…]
and (2) The promotional activities of the Australian Meat and Live-stock Corporation (AMLC), as with its predecessor, the Australian Meat Board, are of an on-going nature, In 1979-80, the Corporation has budgeted $1,100,000 for domestic promotion, including media advertising, compared with actual expenditure in 1978-79 of $697,000. [More…]
What has been the nature and value of the assistance in each case. [More…]
The objectives of the feasibility fishing projects are to investigate the nature and distribution of squid resources in south eastern waters and to determine the feasibility of establishing a commercial fishery. [More…]
However, because of the competitive nature of the courier industry, the details of charges negotiated with the CES are regarded as confidential. [More…]
If I were to answer in general terms concerning research throughout the world on the subject of open-plan schools, I would have to say that all research shows that the actual quantity or quality of the physical resources available- their shape, size or nature- is largely irrelevant to the qualitative outcome of the education. [More…]
At the present time the working party is addressing itself to such areas as patterns of television viewing by children, the amount and nature of food advertising, patterns of food consumption in children, nutritional and dental concerns relating to these patterns, and regulatory procedures in overseas countries. [More…]
I ask the Minister: What were the nature and the source of the original allegations apparently made against him which gave rise to this statement? [More…]
In the case of landline rentals this policy has been following particularly having regard to the specialised nature of the facility. [More…]
Another important factor is the cumbersome nature of arms control negotiations. [More…]
Having said that, I say a few words about the nature of the problem of the world’s arms expenditure and what is being done about it, particularly the attitude in the United Nations. [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 was told that in the main it would be stews, casseroles and meals of that nature which could be eked out. [More…]
-I would not have spoken again in the Committee stage of this Bill except for the fact that it has been obvious from the comments of the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) and other comments from honourable senators on the Government side that the Government does not have the faintest inkling of the nature of this problem or of its enormous proportions. [More…]
It should be noted that these exemptions are of a transitional nature as they apply only to students already in Australia. [More…]
The use of the Auditor-General’s efficiency audit unit is not considered appropriate as the matters are operational in nature and not issues involving audit at this stage. [More…]
I ask: Can the Minister inform the Senate of the nature of the British nuclear tests at Maralinga and in particular whether the experimentation included work on a cobalt bomb? [More…]
If the answer is in the affirmative, was a cobalt bomb actually developed and /or exploded in the area and what are the implications of the nature and extent of contamination from the dangerous gamma rays that would have been emitted? [More…]
We are pleased, therefore, that with the expansion of the Committee and the change in the nature of the Committee the Australian Government is at last represented. [More…]
The program has continued to provide a valuable and tangible contribution to the resolution of critical nature conservation issues. [More…]
The year saw a continuation of Service involvement in a range of international forums including the Whaling Commission which I have already mentioned, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and the Endangered Species Convention. [More…]
To accommodate the increasing awareness of nature conservation issues the Service has produced a variety of publications. [More…]
University makes compulsory fees moneys available to a student organisation for the provision by that organisation of amenities or services, then it is the duty of the Council to ensure that the moneys are applied only in respect of the provision of amenities or services that are not of an academic nature, that are of direct benefit to the University, and that have been declared in university statutes to be amenities or services in respect of that organisation; compulsory fees moneys are not to be paid to a national organisation which represents students but they may be paid to national student organisations whose principal function has to do with sporting or recreational activities, or with a particular education, social or cultural field, or with the interests of post-graduate students; and financial statements are to be prepared and audited each year showing details of the manner in which compulsory fees have been expended. [More…]
The Bill also contains some matters of a machinery nature. [More…]
I point out to the Government and particularly to Senator Peter Baume that, when an Opposition feels that its rights are being whittled away and that it is not getting a fair go in its presentation of matters to the Parliament, it has not only a right but also a responsibility on behalf of the section of the Australian people whom it represents to adopt the attitude of opposition to motions of this nature. [More…]
We have an incredible situation in this Bill where people in a factory, completely ignorant of the nature of a dispute in that same factory, may find themselves unable to get unemployment benefit. [More…]
any other payment that, in the opinion of the Director-General, is a payment in the nature of compensation or damages, other than a payment for which the person who has received, is receiving or is qualified or entitled to receive the payment has made contributions; [More…]
It is a payment which, in the opinion of the Director-General, is a payment in the nature of compensation. [More…]
a payment that, in the opinion of the DirectorGeneral, is in the nature of compensation or damages, [More…]
The provision refers to a payment which, in the opinion of the Director-General, is in the nature of compensation or damages. [More…]
Proposed new section 1 15 (2) (a) (ii) refers to a payment under a scheme of insurance or compensation which is provided for by a law of a State or Territory and which in the opinion of the Director-General may constitute payment in the nature of compensation. [More…]
Again, that provision is unnecessary if, in the opinion of the Director-General, payment is in the nature of compensation. [More…]
It could be that in the administration of this responsibility with the statutory requirement which he now has he will exercise the judgment and take into account the serious nature of the requirement for postponement. [More…]
It provides to the repatriation Acts changes parallel with those contained in the Social Services Amendment Bill 1979, with a few different additions because of the different nature of the repatriation system. [More…]
Another example I give is that the Yugoslav navy was relatively small, but small groups of people would have worked in conjunction with the Royal Navy on what I would call Adriatic adventures, miniature commando raids and combined operations of that nature. [More…]
The nature of the exemption which I have just mentioned, or the nature of the qualification that this charge applies only to CAEs and universities mean that those enrolled in primary schools, junior secondary schools, senior secondary schools, trade courses, secretarial commercial institutions, certified technical colleges- in other words, the schools and the TAFE areaand those who are in Australia studying to obtain professional qualifications or various English language programs will not be subject to the imposition of this fee. [More…]
It is important that we have some idea about the nature and the characteristics of the private overseas students to whom we are referring in this legislation. [More…]
What was the nature of the means test eagerly and willingly accepted by the six States? [More…]
These descriptions will provide honourable senators with a clear appreciation of the nature and purpose of the research projects. [More…]
Evidence for this lies in the highly critical nature of the great majority of submissions we received and was borne out in the public hearings. [More…]
Moreover, the scope of this exemption should, in our view, not extend to documents of a purely factual nature; [More…]
I regard this as an exercise which is critical to the shaping of the nature of parliamentary government in Australia in the future. [More…]
It is rather a question of attitudes, a view about the nature of government, how it works and what is relationship is to the people it is supposed to be serving. [More…]
The nature of data requirements related to the assessment of health and welfare status, and of priorities for the identification and collection of basic program outcome data will continue to be kept under study. [More…]
Departmental data is suitable for monitoring the extent an J nature of program inputs, but is not suitable in most cases for the conduct of ‘outcome evaluations’, i.e. [More…]
Of the 30 signatures which could not be so verified, some have been printed and others do not appear to be the usual signatures of the persons represented. [More…]
However, this does not mean that the 30 signatures in question are not authentic, only that any examination would require further verification which has not been attempted because of the confidential nature of the document. [More…]
The 387 signatures represent a clear two-thirds of the 578 eligible voters at Yarrabah. [More…]
It was not the fault of the authorities that the reporting was of the nature that it was. [More…]
Had the authorities hidden the nature of this suspected disease from authorities overseas or other States of Australia, they would have deserved condemnation and we would have condemned them. [More…]
Most of the initiatives of the Report involve programs and services provided directly by government agencies (Commonwealth or State), but a number of different mechanisms are used for funding, to take account of the diverse nature of the recommendations. [More…]
The Commissioner went on to express his dissatisfaction with the nature of this co-operation from Federal authorities. [More…]
Will this mean a change in the size and nature of the township? [More…]
In the light of those comments by Mr Porter, can the Minister explain the nature of the negotiations between the Federal Government and the Queensland Government to which he has referred? [More…]
However, there appears to be no evidence that the chemical nature of these particles produces any adverse environmental effects which should cause concern. [More…]
Let me return to a consideration of the nature of the Opposition’s complaint. [More…]
There is no doubt that the 1976 amendments substantially modified the nature of the Tribunal’s role and considerably reduced the number of firms subject u> the surveillance of the Tribunal. [More…]
The inquiry is informal and of a very loose legal nature. [More…]
I will direct the whole of the nature of the question to the Minister concerned for him to make the appropriate inquiries. [More…]
I think one would have to look at the partisan nature of the Labor candidate’s reports. [More…]
When I think of the use of the words national interest’ in an Act such as the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act I believe that we are talking about something of a rather different nature and quality from the point raised by the honourable senator. [More…]
I will certainly bring the nature of Senator Chipp ‘s question to the attention of the Minister concerned. [More…]
Unfortunate statements were repeatedly made about the ideological nature of the Fretilin group which undoubtedly heightened the fear of the Indonesians. [More…]
The fundamental difficulties are that although it has a small population, the nature of the terrain, the dispersal of the people and the independent tribes, make it very difficult to deliver the essential commodities and medical supplies. [More…]
-Before the suspension of the sitting of the Senate, I was dealing with some of the objections which were raised in the minority report of Mr Armitage, Dr Blewett and Mr Scholes, concerning the nature of the inquiry conducted by the Sub-Committee on Human Rights in the Soviet Union of the Joint Committee of Foreign Affairs and Defence. [More…]
In essence they receive a pension for their long service rather than disablement which, because it attracts only a ‘C classification, is invariably of a minor nature. [More…]
In the second phase, the PCT recognises the universal nature of the requirement that the validity of a patent is dependent upon whether the patented invention is new. [More…]
In so doing, however, one of its major results will be to increase the impact of those principles on the patent systems of member countries and part of the opposition to Australian accession derives from the presumed adverse nature of that impact on Australian industry. [More…]
The volumes, four of them now represent a mine of information about the nature, extent and character of racism within Australia and about the attitudes of Australian governments-federally, territorially and in the States in confronting it. [More…]
If it were to implement legislation of the nature recommended by the Committee it would be frightened of its own shadow. [More…]
O’Donovan- ‘The Commonwealth is concerned to maintain the “without prejudice” nature of the agreement until the formalities are complete. [More…]

In conformity with thy free judgment, in whose hands I have placed thee, thou art confined by no bounds; and thou wilt fix limits of nature for thyself . [More…]
Thou canst grow downward into the lower natures which are brutes. [More…]
Thou canst again grow upward from thy soul’s reason into the higher natures which are divine. [More…]
Various changes could do something about their position but the way they would do it and the precise effects they would have would depend on the nature of the particular proposal. [More…]
In any event, the proper answer would appear to be that the nature, the circumstances, and the timing of the revelations that are the subject of Senator Grimes’s proposition are such as on any view to satisfy the literal terms of Standing Order 448. [More…]
The introductory chapter of this report gives a more detailed explanation of the operation of this section which provides a special appropriation authorising the Minister for Finance, during a particular financial year, to issue out of Consolidated Revenue Fund such amounts as he determines to be necessary to meet estimated increases in salaries and wages, and payments in the nature of salary for which provision is made in Schedule 2 to the Act; and which become payable during that year in accordance with a law or an award, order or determination under a law. [More…]
The second is for goods in the nature of medical or surgical appliances but can apply to these where they are of a kind used principally by the sick or disabled even though they may have some use by persons who are not sick or disabled. [More…]
All people possess rights by virtue of their nature. [More…]
If one goes against nature one might as well forget the whole box and dice. [More…]
Such momentous events should make us examine very carefully the origin, nature and implementation of human rights. [More…]
All these different systems crashed into the Inchape Rock of human nature, because they needed goodwill to implement the policies that they wanted. [More…]
They exist through nature, and God. [More…]
They have goodwill in their hearts: it is not in the heart of any government, and morality rarely occurs in nature. [More…]
1 ) What is the nature of the facilities at the Deakin telephone exchange, other than the domestic and international telephone systems, in view of the attention drawn to the facilities during the protracted period of Skylab’s descent. [More…]
The nature of the question is such that I must seek a response from the Treasurer himself, since inherently it relates to policy matters as well as seeking the confirmation of facts. [More…]
The concept aims at closer Pacific regional cooperation, but it is very vague and exploratory in nature at this stage. [More…]
Telecom also considers that other publicity measures usually of a direct nature are more effective in publicising tariff information. [More…]
Therefore the Department, the departmental head, the Commonwealth Police or a combination of these, gave the Minister answers that can now be described as being of such a nature as to have misled the Parliament. [More…]
I would say that the Minister is culpable in that in not noting the concern of the Parliament, of the Greek community and of the concerted way in which the Opposition has sought information in respect of this matter- that has been the nature of the probing and the questions that have been asked over the last 20 months in seeking information- surely she has failed to meet the requirements of the Prime Minister in respect of her activities as a Minister. [More…]
The Minister’s answers have been unsatisfactory, evasive and of a nature that prompts us to believe that more is involved in the story than meets the eye. [More…]
But let me first deal with the nature of the case that is made because, as I have said, the Opposition has disclaimed any attack on the Minister’s personal integrity or sincerity and has disclaimed any charge that she had intentionally done anything to mislead the Senate. [More…]
After his very clear analysis, I have very little more to say in relation to it because I think he has made a very notable contribution to the debate here today and a notable contribution to any interest or concern that the Senate should have about what is the nature of that system and what is the nature of ministerial responsibility. [More…]
It is childish in her view because the last thing that she wants to hear debated in this Parliament, like other Government senators, is the very subject of this matter of public importance, that is, the deception and the regressive nature of the taxation policies of the Fraser Government. [More…]
Prior to the suspension of the sitting for dinner we were dealing with a matter of public importance raised by the Opposition relating to the taxation policies of the present Government- and specifically with what we would describe as their deceptive and regressive nature. [More…]
There have been direct and indirect increases in taxation of tobacco and spirits and the petrol tax has served only to increase the regressive nature of taxation in this country. [More…]
I complete my remarks by saying, as I said earlier, that the essence of this matter of public importance is the deception of this Government with regard to the nature of its income tax policies- certainly the regressive nature of them- whereby it is imposing a greater burden on the lower income and middle income groups in this country, and the declared intention of Mr Fraser, as spelt out in a very good article in the Australian Financial Review this morning, that today he is just as committed to the introduction of State income tax as he was in 1975. [More…]
The remaining provisions of the latter Act which are procedural in nature are to be incorporated in the Judiciary Act. [More…]
The amendments of a drafting nature, to which I have referred above, are the new sections 77a to 77v which are, by clause 13, to be added to the principal Act. [More…]
I know that one of the vagaries of nature is that when there is an abundance of a particular species there are all sorts of problems. [More…]
I say that not necessarily because Senator Scott is in the chamber but because I know the problem that rural people have in respect to the balance of nature. [More…]
The features of this legislation are that arrangements are of a temporary nature- they can apply only while declarations of emergency under the New South Wales Act are in forceand that the person appointed has the capacity to make recommendations. [More…]
The judges themselves have expressed differing views to the Senate Committee on the nature and functions of any such body and on the need for its existence. [More…]
I was pointing out that in his second reading speech the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Senator Chaney, himself said that although the amendments presented in this Bill are largely of a machinery nature and are not controversial, there was a phase in which the Northern Land Council had not agreed with them. [More…]
Another point is what environmental effect it will have on the Kakadu National Park in view of the uniquely primeval nature of that park, where we will need to have a guaranteed zero effect on the environment if we are to preserve it into the indefinite future. [More…]
He continued: a number of other amendments of an administrative nature would also be introduced. [More…]
Members of the Council of the Australian National University- the Council, no less- have complained bitterly to the Government about the nature of its actions. [More…]
He has lived with these problems, he knows all the people concerned, he knows the nature of the issues, and he has tried to resolve them without the necessity for the kind of ham-fisted legislation that we have at the moment. [More…]
He has no objection at all to our legislating for financial amendments or for matters concerning the nature of the institution at all. [More…]
It is the question of the nature of those rules and the ethical code that follows which is important. [More…]
The bulk of courses at Woden will be vocational in nature. [More…]
It is not in the nature of things that men of this type have the time, the experience or the knowledge to worry about the details of administration of a large building and everything that goes on within it. [More…]
In the course of human nature and the nature of institutions, this matter will descend on to the bureaucracy. [More…]
Without in advance questioning that bureaucracy in any way, it is the nature of things in this world that such organisations are the very ones which, only too readily and with the best of intentions, and feeling completely justified, are going to spend large sums of money on things which seem to them to be necessary. [More…]
We believe that those points are related to the ordinary human nature of things which is something the Government seems to forget. [More…]
This provision is more to control expenditure of a capital nature that the High Court may enter into. [More…]
In fact, I found it quite fascinating as a member of that Committee to treat the book Once in Golconda as something in the nature of a textbook. [More…]
The proposed Commission is, I fear, on paper, something in the nature of a toothless tiger. [More…]
Given the nature of the regimes in at least two States, that belief is compounded of wishful thinking and self-delusion. [More…]
Honourable senators will be aware that the International Committee of the Red Cross has recently circulated a pamphlet to all of us indicating the nature and content of international humanitarian law. [More…]
There is a certain capacity which one notices from Senator Missen from time to time for what I might describe kindly as selective indignation; the problem is identified with some vigour but the solution is perhaps somewhat less robust than the nature of the problem might tend to make one believe. [More…]
There has been a need to devise procedures appropriate for proceedings of an unusual nature in that the claimant will at all times be in another country. [More…]
The Commonwealth is, because of the unusual and lengthy nature of the matter, adopting this course out of a sense of fairness. [More…]
It is not the place of the Presiding Officer to make rulings of that nature. [More…]
Senator Lewis asked me whether I was aware of the nature and size of the forces under arms. [More…]
Recognition must be given to the changing nature of quarantine, which is now primarily concerned with preventing the entry of agricultural pests and diseases and not human disease, as was the case when the Quarantine Act was introduced in 1 908. [More…]
In recognising the changed nature of quarantine and the increased importance of plant and animal quarantine, a more effective quarantine service providing more thorough quarantine surveillance at airports and seaports could be achieved by integrating quarantine procedures relating to the clearance of overseas passengers, passengers’ baggage, general cargo, containers and waste disposal into the animal and plant quarantine service. [More…]
It is quite unacceptable that the Government should be pushing Bills of that nature into the Parliament so late in the session. [More…]
In the same package, we would suggest pilot manufacture of devices of an innovative nature for the conservation or production of energy, including electric and petrol-electric commuter cars, wind and tidal electric power generators and more efficient solar cells capable of direct generation of electricity with special reference to the ‘doped’ plastics now being researched in other countries for this purpose. [More…]
If a trade union leader speaks a bit militantly a Minister rebukes him but I have waited 72 hours and I have not heard any Minister, much less the Foreign Affairs Minister, give some overdue advice to the effect that a dispute of this nature is not sufficient to justify threatening allegations to the Australian public. [More…]
Ministers of the Crown do not make statements here in their own right by being answerable to the Parliament and by accepting their responsibilities as Ministers of the Crown, but adopt the attitude that the advice of their bureaucracy has been of such and such a nature. [More…]
It is about time that we as a parliament had a very close look at the procedure that exists in the United Kingdom because if we allow the present situation to continue, with the Executive’s having complete power and control over the legislature and over the legislative process, this Parliament will come to be regarded by all and sundry, particularly by the younger generation in the community, as merely in the nature of a rubber stamp. [More…]
The figure of 2.3 per cent was recommended in the light also of what prevails in the States, and in other countries of a similar nature to Australia. [More…]
We have no knowledge of whether that expenditure appropriated to the Minister for Finance is, in fact, an expenditure of an ordinary annual service nature. [More…]
Now that the allegations have been made, I am grateful to the Queensland Government for having extended the commission of the royal commissioner, Mr Justice Williams, to clear my name and also to expose the base nature of the honourable members of the Queensland Parliament who made the allegations. [More…]
Crossexamination of or discussions with my DirectorGeneral are of a continuing nature. [More…]
The basis on which the pardon was given was in regard to the nature of the evidence that she was thought to be able to give in the case. [More…]
Just a casual perusal of that question would indicate quite clearly that it seeks information of a nature which cannot be given at Question Time. [More…]
Honourable senators will appreciate the usefulness of a publication of this nature. [More…]
That might be so particularly in so far as the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is concerned, as presumably a very large number of publications is purchased by the Department of Foreign Affairs because they involve matters of a foreign affairs nature. [More…]
Already the States have been authorised to borrow an amount of almost $2,000m for the purpose of infrastructure borrowing; that is, for capital works, roads, rail facilities, port facilities, power development and things of that nature. [More…]
I want to put on record the nature of the difficulties so that they can be understood by the Senate and by as many people as can possibly learn of them. [More…]
The $ 10,000 provision covers, in the main, a poll designed to establish the extent of public awareness of departmental programs, a survey of newspapers to establish the extent to which Press statements have been reported, and the monitoring of television and radio programs to establish the nature and frequency of references to departmental activity. [More…]
What in substance was the nature of the reaction received from the United Nations Secretariat to the communication in question? [More…]
I would like a clear cut answer on whether we have got beyond the drawing board stage in meeting situations of this nature. [More…]
Is there any precedent for not tabling in the Parliament reports of that nature? [More…]
Most of the initiatives of the Report involve programs and services provided directly by government agencies (Commonwealth or State), but a number of different mechanisms are used for funding, to take account of the diverse nature of the recommendations. [More…]
While the Minister sits in the House and does not answer, remains mute in response to the questions that have been posed by my colleagues, Senator Bishop, Senator Primmer, Senator Walsh and Senator Keeffe, and while there is a report of that nature drawn to the attention of the Committee of the Whole by the Senate Estimates Committee, it is my responsibility to rise at this early hour of the morningafter the Parliament has been sitting for well over 12 hours and after we have all been here for a period of 17 hours- and raise my voice in protest against the way in which the Government is conducting the affairs of this nation, and to seek sensible responses from the Minister to our questions. [More…]
Because of the arid and isolated nature of the Highway corridor, construction and logistic problems, such as poor soil, drainage, and the availability of water and suitable materials, have to be overcome. [More…]
Well, there is nothing that the Defence Department could give us in this area which the narcotics bureau couldn’t give us because you passed everything of a drug nature on to the bureau, is that what you say? [More…]
In regard to replies of the nature to which you, Senator Webster, have referred- I have listened to what you have said, although you were not in order in speaking when you did- if there could be a condensation of information and then the matter could be expanded upon in greater detail, to be incorporated in Hansard, that would, I think, meet the situation in reply and give more honourable senators who desire to ask a question an opportunity to do so. [More…]
The geological accident that nature has provided there in association with the uranium deposits, I suggest, creates a problem of major proportions to which we must address ourselves. [More…]
We were, I believe to a man, impressed on several grounds with the value and nature of Australian developmental aid through the area. [More…]
More significant also is the very nature of the aid because it is involved largely in the development of land, communication, roads and bridges, irrigation and research into animal and plant breeding which is of great significance to these peoples. [More…]
It would be able also to investigate the matter of the delegation of parliamentary authority and other such matters of a technical nature which tend to be overlooked when Bills are considered in this Parliament. [More…]
There are occasions- I recall reading about one before I entered this chamber- when, without any intention to do so and given the nature of a government’s program, a Bill is introduced into one chamber of the Parliament, proceeds to the other and becomes law without members or senators being alerted to the fact that there may be a serious possible infringement of a human right, personal liberty or personal right in the operation of the law. [More…]
This is acknowledged by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Lionel Bowen) in the other place as being a problem which cannot be overcome easily by the Distribution Commissioners because of the nature of the distribution of the population within metropolitan Perth. [More…]
Because of the technical nature of the matter, I have sought some advice on the amendment which was moved. [More…]
Probably they will have good intentions and they can do good work, but because of the nature of the Bill they will never be able to do so. [More…]
The whole question of the circumstances in Iran is one of a most serious nature and one which, if not resolved, could put in peril the stability of large sections of the world. [More…]
Yesterday it was made perfectly clear that the nature of the scheme is that, first of all, it should be preventive; that is, we should try to identify students at risk in schools so that they do not emerge still at riskthat is an absolute key- and so that in their journey through school they can be helped and then, through link courses, work experience courses or advice to transfer to technical and further education, take their place alongside their peers. [More…]
Our aim is that with all others there will be vocational guidance and counselling to identify the nature of their potential skills and their obvious defects; then advice will be given to them. [More…]
In particular, the deployment of Chinese forces in the border region is understood to be defensive in nature. [More…]
The Queensland sugar industry could be fairly described as highly institutionalised and because of the monocultura nature of sugar production and the long history of legislative and industry control, it is a peculiar example of private ownership and government control. [More…]
I also remind it- however gently in view of the nature of this debate- that the last Budget brought down by the Labor Government reflected a huge cut in funding for education. [More…]
That demonstrates the empty nature of the claims of the Government. [More…]
Nature of Review [More…]
I refer to the trachoma plan and projects of that nature. [More…]
The witnesses limit themselves to facts known to them personally; the Committee does not accept statements based either on the experience of others or statements of a speculative nature. [More…]
The first point to be made about the Bills in question is that they involve conferring on the Australian Federal Police powers which in their scope and nature are sweeping and unprecedented. [More…]
It may be that the horrifying nature of the drug trade, as it has recently built up, demands such measures. [More…]
Powers in relation to the tapping of telephones and the installation of listening devices in particular by their very nature involve unselective, exploratory and indiscriminate invasions of people’s privacy. [More…]
These attempts to write in safeguards of this kind have assumed particular importance in this narcotics context when one remembers the nature of the offences in relation to which these powers can be exercised. [More…]
I refer in particular to their failure to inform the prosecuting authorities in the Deputy Crown Solicitor’s Office and elsewhere about the circumstances in which the basic evidence which led to the raids in question had been obtained from informers, and the nature of the relationship between the police force and those informers. [More…]
the nature and seriousness of the contravention or failure; and [More…]
Did Mildren and Partners act for any objectors to the Alligator Rivers Land Claim which was heard during the course of the Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry; if so, who were the objectors, and what was the nature of their objections. [More…]
In a hearing of the Ranger Uranium Environmental Inquiry Mr Mildren argued successfully that the Opitz (Cooinda) Enterprises ‘s leases were of a nature that precluded the leased land being treated as unalienated land; a similar argument in respect of K. S. & C. J. [More…]
Is he being retained by the Northern Land Council; if so; (a) in what capacity; (b) for how long has he been retained; and (c) what is the precise nature of his duties for the Council. [More…]
