On what date or dates did he or the Prime Minister or any representatives of the Australian Government have discussions with any official or officials of the South African Embassy in relation to how that Embassy and the South African Government would react to a possible expression of protest by the Australian Government against the South African Government’s racial sporting policies.

May I make a strong protest against continuous smearing of our Prime Minister, Mr McMahon. [More…]
I think that what the honourable member is really referring to is that there are a number of organisations, including students in particular, which have limited financial resources and which depend upon the media to give them publicity They therefore indicate to the media some protest rally that they intend to hold, and the media are there when something is going to happen. [More…]

program Dr Fitzgerald, Australia’s Ambassador to China, stated that his predecessor, Mr Cotterill,’ lodged a protest note with the Chinese Assistant Minister? [More…]

When will he show me, as promised, the letters of protest against the national health scheme from Gympie about which he made serious allegations and which he has since repeated to me in a letter? [More…]
Does he, by dismissing these letters and protests, indicate that he thinks that Australians and Gympie citizens are so stupid that they will sign and send letters of protest to their member unless those letters are an expression of their intent and feeling? [More…]
The officers concerned were ordered to open their cars to be searched, but in one of the two cases when it was pointed out to the police that an official protest could result, the requirement was dropped. [More…]

I wish to protest at the way in which the business of the House is being conducted. [More…]
If the honourable member for Wills, on a belated entry into the proper area designated for the business of this House- as distinct from the side benches- is serious in his protest, then leave is not granted. [More…]
In the Address-in-Reply debate honourable members can protest as much as they like about matters that they think are wrong, but Ministers are free completely to ignore them. [More…]
Nevertheless, even if the more professional critics of the democratic society are prepared to accept this assessment, there remains the problem of those who protest at being excessively remote from the seats of power and lacking in any influence upon the decision makers. [More…]
When 200 or 300 people gather together to protest, that does not mean that the Australian people are not with me. [More…]
But when the honourable member for Hunter sees 50 or 100 people gathered together - and this is a failing also of the Australian Labor Party - he suggests that it is the whole Australian community protesting and that the whole Australian community supports him. [More…]
I appeal to all primary producers to close their ranks and to hold protest meetings everywhere. [More…]
I welcome protest meetings. [More…]
The more protest meetings and the more marchers we have the better it will be, because we understand their problems, we want their backing and we will fight for them. [More…]
On the other hand the poor person who protests, refuses to register or has a conscientious objection to the war does his time the hard way in Pentridge, Long Bay or somewhere else because of the policy of this Government. [More…]
It is scandalous that, in this situation, some people are in prison, others are facing charges and action is being taken against people who have the courage of their convictions and protest against this unproclaimed war while people who go to Vietnam and sabotage our efforts are allowed to go completely free. [More…]
Let him wriggle out of this unproclaimed and undeclared war proposition and tell u.s why a man can commit treason and go free when another man cannot protest against the war or refuse to register for national service without being placed in gaol. [More…]
He never raises one word of protest in the Parliament. [More…]
Although at this very moment North Vietnamese troops are invading Laos and killing and driving out its peaceful inhabitants, not a word of protest has come from the people who demonstrate so vehemently against the war in Vietnam. [More…]

[More…]
No mention is made of offering any solution lo the frustrations being felt on wage issues by white collar organisations and trade unions whose confidence in the arbitration system has been shattered, and 1 cite the recent upsurge of protest by .professional engineers at their recent wages decision. [More…]
That is why today 1 add my voice of protest, though not so much about what is in the Bill because we should be grateful for what we get from this Government be it great or small, because we will never get anything great in this human field. [More…]
This is the leader of the Parliamentary Labor Party in Victoria making his protest to Mr Hartley, State secretary of the Australian Labor Party in Victoria. [More…]
I again express my pleasure that the letters I have received in protest have been partially answered by the concession that has been given but express again my regret that a scheme that has a good foundation, a good basis and a good objective fails because of the restrictions placed upon it. [More…]
If the Minister recognises the needs of the community, for which his Department is responsible - and he honestly does recognise them - and if he puts them before his Cabinet and his colleagues knock him back and his Prime Minister will not accept his proposals, he ought to resign, and thus show his sincerity, as a protest at the manner in which the needs of the Department which he is in charge of have been rejected. [More…]
That any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report, but the protest or dissent may not introduce new matter not referred to in the main report. [More…]
In answer to the honourable gentleman’s question: It is a fact that an organisation has been established to endeavour to persuade the public of Australia that there is some sort of movement here to protest against Vietnam involvement which is separate and distinct and indigenous to Australia. [More…]
Did he receive reports from the Minister for Defence before he left us and the Minister for the Interior following their promise to 10,000 farmers, who marched in Melbourne to protest against the continuing crisis in the countryside, that they would convey to the Prime Minister without delay the farmers’ protest and their request for action? [More…]
If the Prime Minister has received the reports and noted the further march by 3,000 protesting farmers in Perth, will he tell the House what specific action he intends to take to end the economic deep freeze in the countryside contrasting with the Treasurer’s overheating? [More…]
Will it be that every man who raises his voice in protest against the monstrous policies and actions of your Government in this Parliament will automatically be thrown out of the Parliament and refused the right to speak. [More…]
Will protests on this side of Parliament be described as anarchy? [More…]
Certainly the time has come to protest. [More…]
I would have made a plea and a protest. [More…]
When the honourable member for Wills stood up, we did not have a riot like that in the Japanese Diet where members stood up and threw ink wells, which might be a salutary method of protest. [More…]
Well, there are available to them methods of protest which have been accepted by custom and which are part of the traditions of this House. [More…]
If it is good enough for the Deputy Prime Minister to suggest that what happened here was a legitimate protest against the denial, the abrogation of the job that we as members are sent here to do, then it is good enough to suggest that those 10,000 farmers were making a similar logical protest. [More…]
I accept that the Opposition had the right to protest. [More…]
If after the honourable member for Wills was named honourable members opposite felt they had to make a protest there was one protest they could make. [More…]
As one of those members who stood in his place here this morning in protest against the actions that were taking place here - actions by Mr Speaker and by the Government - I say that I would do it again with other honourable members on this side because we are determined that democracy will be returned to this place so that honourable members will have the opportunity to bring business before the Parliament. [More…]
It originated in the United States of America, where certain people conceived the idea that a series of nationwide strikes, increasing progressively in length by 1 day a month, should be organised to protest against the Vietnam war. [More…]
Another speaker - that is, another speaker at this meeting chaired by the honourable member for Lalor held at the Richmond Town Hall - described the stoning by demonstrators of the United Slates Consulate-General in Melbourne in July 1968 as ‘an effective form of protest’. [More…]
In the past, organisers of relatively small protest marches and demonstrations have been unable, even when they wished to do so, to exclude or control those extremist minorities whose methods of operation are repugnant to all decent citizens. [More…]
In making his decision he will inevitably disclose his attitude to violent protest. [More…]
Before I deal in detail with the case presented by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Whitlam) let me say that I think it is important to state that there would not be any members in this House who would not suggest that at the appropriate time and place appropriate protests in this country against laws can be valuable. [More…]
Also one would never contest the case that there was a special obligation on members of Parliament, whatever their Party, and on any other members of those parties to protest in a way which is most likely to conduce to the welfare of the country. [More…]
As a result of the recent election the Labor Party has come to be within a few seats of obtaining government in this nation and for that very reason a special obligation was placed upon it, its leaders and each of its members to observe the laws and the appropriate ways in which to protest. [More…]
Why should it protest against Vietnam and against nowhere else, no other organisation and no other country? [More…]
Why do they not take time off to protest with regard to Cambodia? [More…]
At a time when Cambodia is under attack in significant parts of its territory and North Vietnamese troops are involved, as acknowledged by leaders of that country - past as well as present leaders - these honourable members as well as others take the time, not to protest against those facts, not to protest against facts concerning the massacres of Hue, not to protest against facts concerning other Communist massacres and terrorist campaigns, but to protest merely against the Vietnam campaign. [More…]
In doing so they make their protest extremely narrow and curiously selective. [More…]
We can guarantee that only if fair and reasonable outlets are available for protest and dissent. [More…]
They never seem to express any sympathy or understanding of it at all and constantly take the attitude that everyone who expresses dissent or protest is either an idiot or a Communist and should not be taken seriously. [More…]
If I make one criticism, it is because I think it would have been better to have made these facts known earlier before innocent people who believe that this is a genuine protest and who believe there is no underlying importance to it or underlying usage being made of it, signed the moratorium document. [More…]
Furthermore, an analysis of what he said shows that he was addressing the rebel group of the Trades Hall Council, the rebel unionists, the same people who were involved in the O’Shea case, the same people who put on that innocent little protest outside the Industrial Court, the same people who wanted to tip over the police car, and the same people who wanted to press onto the police. [More…]
The Vietnam Moratorium Committee’s Victorian Headquarters has asked groups and individuals to vigorously participate with whatever slogans and forms of protest they feel appropriate to end the war in Vietnam. [More…]
I emphasise the words ‘whatever forms of protest’ they may wish. [More…]
This desire is shared by all, but the people must ask themselves whether this is a genuine protest and whether it is intended to be violent or non-violent, bearing in mind that it will be held in Melbourne on a Friday afternoon, the most busy shopping afternoon, in the busiest block, when school children, young children and women will be present. [More…]
People have a right to protest in Australia but they do not have the right to place in jeopardy the lives of other people or to break the law. [More…]
I take this opportunity to register my protest at the Government’s lack of control over this situation. [More…]
1 enter an emphatic protest against these procedures which take up the time set aside for the Grievance debate. [More…]
I think that attitude is the significance of all that is involved in protest and dissent today and that is why I move my amendment. [More…]
When we want to protest against men dying in Vietnam - he could not care if troops died there year in and year out - he would do nothing about it. [More…]
When men want to protest against troops being sent to war - a war in which we should not be engaged - that is anarchy of the worst type and no member of Parliament should join in that protest.I have never heard such hypocrisy in my life as that advanced by the honourable member. [More…]
Yet today when we seek the right to be at protest meetings against the war in Vietnam, which is morally wrong, which is unjust, in which this country should never have been engaged, and in which conscripted boys are dying at this moment, the Government says that this is not as important as the Melbourne Cup and that we ought to be here instead of adding our support to this protest. [More…]
That decision was announced at 2.25 p.m. We have spent 1 hour and 10 minutes talking about a wide variety of things; but essentially we have been talking about a Vietnam war protest movement which will culminate on 8th, 9th and 10th May, of which, I think, 75 parliamentary members of the Australian Labor Party are sponsors. [More…]
If the time had not been spent on this protest movement, according to the calculations of the Whip that honourable member would have been speaking now. [More…]
According to what the honourable member said today he elevates the shaping of public protest to equality with the national Parliament. [More…]
He not merely equates the Vietnam protest with Parliament, he subjugates Parliament to that protest. [More…]
In order to achieve the subjugation he moved the amendment we are discussing so that this national Parliament would not sit in order that he could attend the protest meeting in Melbourne. [More…]
The reason given for this amendment is that the honourable member for Lalor and others want to attend the Vietnam protest meetings on 8th May. [More…]
I want to place this protest on record because my colleague the honourable member for Hughes (Mr Les Johnson) expressly desired to have, and I certainly expected to hear, the Government’s explanation of why it would not accept our proposal that the Bill be postponed in order to allow the credit unions to be included unconditionally. [More…]
As Dr Everingham (Labor, Queensland) pointed out in an unanswerable speech - unanswerable to anyone who knows the facts - if it is good manners, fair democratic action for farmers to march through the streets of Melbourne and protest, surely it is legitimate for people to abominate the undeclared war in Vietnam: the conscription of our young in one age group only by lottery: to see the lack of any equality of sacrifice by all Australians, surely it is legitimate for them to want a Moratorium or any attempt at peace by peaceful demonstration, without being branded Communist’. [More…]
This is illustrated by the mounting crisis which is spreading throughout rural Australia arid is characterised by organised marches and protest meetings of farmers and rural workers. [More…]
The Opposition supported the farmers in their protest march held recently in Melbourne. [More…]
It went on to protest against the Agreement that had been made because it said it was contrary to the long term interests and the wishes of the people of South Vietnam who had a right to independence and freedom and did not want aggression within their own territory. [More…]
He said: When not protesting about the possible loss nf professional freedom the less well informed members of the profession, and this seems to be a majority, protest that the present direct doctorpatient financial relationship is hallowed by centuries, if not millennia of sacred tradition. [More…]
When not protesting about the possible loss of professional freedom the less well informed members of the profession, and this seems to be a majority, protest that the present director doctorpatient financial relationship is hallowed by centuries if not millennia of sacred tradition. [More…]
There are ample opportunities for criticism, for protest and for objection to the attitude of any government in Australia, still keeping within the law. [More…]
Will he protest on behalf of the Australian people to the President of the United States of America against the slaughter of 4 students at Kent University, Ohio, by National Guardsmen while the students were exercising their democratic right to dissent from American policy in Cambodia and Vietnam? [More…]
Not a word of protest was raised even though there was a statement in black and white - in all probability innocently written - admitting to an infringement upon the rights of the individual. [More…]
We have voiced our protest here on 2 occasions already. [More…]
If anyone ever doubted the role played by the protest movement in sustaining the morale of the Communists he could hardly do so any more after carefully reading this document. [More…]
That is, by withdrawal of United States troops and the acceptance of a coalition government may be expected to arise out of American political weakness, the nature of which is accurately described and the intensity of which is in direct proportion to the strength of this protest movement. [More…]
We recognise the right of dissent and protest within the law - which we ourselves would assert if ever we were in Opposition. [More…]
But we note that the Moratorium campaign is more, than an expression of legitimate dissent and1 protest. [More…]
Australia is a country where there is unlimited scope for legitimate and lawful freedom of dissent and’ protest and the Moratorium tactics are ro be forthrightly condemned. [More…]
Was there any word of protest from the Labor Party about that invasion? [More…]
Could anybody turn up Hansard and point to 1 speech by any member of the Labor Party in protest against the invasion of Laos by the North Vietnamese and other Communist troops so that they might supply their forces fighting our troops and Americans in South Vietnam? [More…]
The Acting Prime Minister spoke with all the vehemence he can use on such an occasion to blackguard honourable members on this side of the chamber and people outside Parliament who believe they have a right to protest that we ought not to be involved in the war in Vietnam and repeatedly ask these questions: ‘How did we become involved in this war? [More…]
The whole grisly catalogue of the atrocities committed should be well known by now, but I want to put to the House some specific occasions to illustrate my proposition that when these events have occurred and have been canvassed in newspapers there has been no protest from honourable members on the other side of the House or from the other people who are associated with the Vietnam Moratorium Committee. [More…]
Why is there no moratorium, no protest, today about these atrocities? [More…]
Why is it, we ask, and we have continued to ask and 1 continue to ask, that the Vietnam Moratorium Committee will not protest against this grisly catalogue of atrocities? [More…]
They may say: ‘Look, it is our business to protest against our own troops. [More…]
Is there any agitation in Moscow from this peace front, protesting against the use of Soviet troops in those theatres? [More…]
Where is the protest from the peace movement in Hanoi? [More…]
The peace movement is said to be very strong in Hanoi, but there is no protest against the Vietcong there. [More…]
Where was the protest on Czechoslovakia? [More…]
The Committee has less than 2 hours, as I understand it, to debate 18 clauses of the Bill and I add my protest. [More…]
Having made that protest, I now formally ask for leave of the Committee to move the amendments which have been circulated in my name and in the names of other Opposition members. [More…]
I want to register a most emphatic protest. [More…]
Before so doing, I wish to add my protest to those of my colleagues on this side of the Committee regarding the way in which this Bill is being rushed through the Parliament. [More…]
I join with my colleagues, in registering an emphatic protest about the guillotining of this legislation. [More…]
I will not let the opportunity go by without making my protest against the farcical situation in the deliberations on this Bill. [More…]
I lodge my firm protest against this farcical situation. [More…]
For that reason I support the dignified plea and protest of the Opposition which has been made by honourable members on this side of the chamber. [More…]
I join with other honourable members on this side of the House in voicing the strongest protest and expression of disgust at the attitude of the Government in respect of this matter. [More…]
I did mention on that occasion that a large protest meeting had been held. [More…]
I heard a certain gentleman at the farmers’ protest march say that if Australia suddenly increased the amount of its aid to poor countries from 1% to 2% - we have not even reached 1% yet - by some mysterious process all our surpluses of wheat and wool would evaporate. [More…]
I tried to make this point yesterday when I pointed out that if we object to certain disruptive elements - strange odd elements who are so publicised in university life these days - and if we protest we are doing so because we are footing the bill. [More…]
Had they not been extensions of existing colleges 1 would have had to protest even against the activities of my own Government. [More…]
1 wish to protest first of all at the ad hoc nature of this approach. [More…]
As the honourable member for Dawson has said, there should have been national priorities - not State priorities, not State begging, not State agitation and nol public protest. [More…]
Of course everybody knows this now, but we should have known it when the Ord scheme was being considered; then even the short range protest that we must not carry out the Burnett and Burdekin proposals before giving something to Western Australia would have been without foundation. [More…]
There would have been no basis for protesting that we have to balance the water grants to the States. [More…]
Ad>’ announcement, however modest, concerning the development of our national water resources seems to bring forth a protest, perhaps exemplified earlier in this debate by the interjections of the honourable member for Bradfield (Mr Turner) who I am delighted to see has returned to the chamber. [More…]
This I will deal with, but the water protestants, as I term them, are usually victims of one of our national myths, and that is that we as a nation have spent a great deal of money in the country generally on water conservation. [More…]
1 find it rather shocking that people who purport to represent wheat growers should accept a situation which has brought about hardship without one word not only of protest but of suggestion for its amelioration. [More…]
Last Tuesday morning I delivered to the Parliament petitions bearing the signatures of 1,000 Western Australians who wanted to register their protest at current Government policies of increasing interest rates. [More…]
I want to stress the spontaniety of the protest which has taken this form and may do so by indicating that the body which has collected these signatures, the Housing Loans Reform Movement, only came into existence a fortnight ago, and it came into existence without any organisational background or backing at all. [More…]
Protest meetings have already been organised. [More…]
Will the Minister restate to the French Government our protest and our complete opposition to the continuance of nuclear tests in our part of the world? [More…]
One of these categories consists of people whose sole objective is to use the vehicle of demonstration and protest for the purposes of denigrating the national service scheme and achieving its repeal. [More…]
I can understand their attitude they would oppose national service in any circumstances and at any time, and whatever was done they would continue to use the vehicle of protest and demonstration for the purpose of having the legislation repealed. [More…]
I want to add a few words of protest to those that have already been launched from this side of the House. [More…]
I hope that the numerous honourable members opposite who see the importance of sitting at a reasonable hour of the day will rise in their places and register their protest. [More…]
If that is the position, I believe that some of us are entitled to protest about it. [More…]
I have received many, letters from various parts of Australia, as well as one from New Zealand, congratulating me on the strong protest which 1 have been making against the injustice of foisting the proposed wool marketing authority on the producers. [More…]
I voice my strong protest at the decision of the Leader of the House (Mr Snedden) to wipe out the Grievance Day debate for this day. [More…]
I wish to add my protest to that of my colleagues on this section of the amendment suggested by the Senate and which has been omitted. [More…]
I certainly register my protest at the way in which important business of this House is being transacted. [More…]
I protest even about that. [More…]
Without removing the ground for protest that may have originally existed, I would be prepared, in relation to the specific issue now before the House, to alter the allotment of time by adding 30 minutes to the times which I originally proposed. [More…]
In protest the delegate returned to his former job and was instantly dismissed, with a week’s pay in Heu of notice. [More…]
Is the Prime Minister aware that the Executive of the Australian Council of Trade Unions has called a nationwide 3-hour stoppage involving 2.5 million Australian workers on next Tuesday as a protest against the Budget? [More…]
I read in the Press that a nation wide strike has been proposed for next week in protest against the Budget. [More…]
The resolution of the Executive of the ACTU called for combined protest rallies of the workers and pensioners of Australia. [More…]
It then called upon certain organisations to do all that they could to ensure that their members would be present at the protest rallies, lt has been suggested that the protest rallies will be held between 12 noon and 3 p.m. Two possibilities emerge from this proposal. [More…]
One is that the people could go along to a protest rally in their lunch hour if they are workers or in their free time if they are pensioners and protest. [More…]
I think that is why the resolution was couched in terms which called for protest rallies. [More…]
Certain other people have taken advantage of the situation to convert the call for a protest rally into a demand for a national stoppage. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
This was dramatised effectively in the protests on Monday by sailors against pay conditions at Garden Island in Sydney. [More…]
About 200 sailors held a stop-work meeting and walked off 5 Navy ships to protest at delays in granting flow-on of allowances made more than a year ago to equivalent civilian personnel. [More…]
If the Opposition is fed up with the way in which it is being treated by the Government and wishes to make its protest perhaps by taking up the time of the House, this can be done by adopting other procedures. [More…]
I can see no connection whatever between photographs being taken at protest rallies whether they are taken by police or whether they are taken at the invitation of the protesters as, for example, when they asked photographers to come along and photograph them when they made a violent attack on the house of the Attorney-General. [More…]
Apparently there was a call by the ACTU Interstate Executive for protest rallies in combination with pensioners. [More…]
As they have made their powerful speeches they have looked out over a great many people and have no doubt misled themselves into the belief that this has been a powerful protest, very solidly supported. [More…]
It was not a powerful protest and it was not strongly supported. [More…]
One knows that at political protest meetings and in statements made in front of a camera so often things are exaggerated. [More…]
With some reluctance I rise to further delay this debate but I must protest at the inadequate step that has been taken in relation to sit’ ing times. [More…]
We are told that there should be no complaint or protest about this. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition may deny this relationship as much as he wishes, but I will never be convinced that he did not assist in engineering last Tuesday’s fiasco of Budget protest rallies and anti-Budget strikes to serve as a backdrop to his on-stage performance that night. [More…]
I conclude my remarks this afternoon by looking in retrospect at the protest rallies and strikes of last Tuesday. [More…]
The welfare of primary industry has for too long been ignored by this Government and primary producers are to stage a protest march in Canberra. [More…]
Mark that: Primary producers are going to stage a march in Canberra in order to protest against the policies of this coalition and its failure. [More…]
What fatuous humbug for this man to protest and tilt at windmills. [More…]
Until the Australian people are given full details of what is in this survey of the needs of Australian education, I will continue to protest and the Australian Labor Party will continue to protest in this House. [More…]
That dividend of 11% represents, in reality, a dividend of approximately 50% to 55% to anyone who has taken up all the share options in the period between 1950 and 1970. f ask honourable members to compare these facts and tell me why trade unionists in Australia should not go on strike in protest against this Budget, why the trade unions in Australia should not be demanding more wages, and why Bob Hawke, the President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, should not be going into the arbitration court and demanding from the court or from industry increased wages for the workers and an improvement in their standard of living. [More…]
The ACTU was behind a so-called national strike and protest against this Budget which is presently being debated. [More…]
It was a big fizz, a big flop, lt was drawn to my attention that earlier in the piece this strike was proposed as a protest against the Government’s taxation measures. [More…]
If we wish to protest we must find out what methods of protest are lawful. [More…]
But if an individual observes these restraints, he has the right to protest, however strongly; the right to criticise, however intemperately; the right to draw others to his cause. [More…]
This may be seen in practice in the protection afforded speakers in, say, the Domain in Sydney or the Yarra Bank in Melbourne or in the arrangements made for orderly and prearranged protest marches. [More…]
A person less charitable than I might be disposed to suspect that it throws some light upon the political sympathies of the honourable member for Kingston in relation to violent forms of unlawful protest. [More…]
I protest most strongly that we are subjected to this. [More…]
I would like to refer to the comments made by members of the Australian Labor Party and some trade union leaders - I say some because there were many decent, sensible, intelligent union men who did not go on strike last Tuesday - in support of the strike called by the Australian Council of Trade Unions as a protest against the Budget. [More…]
We have a situation of uninhibited dissent and protest in the streets and uninhibited taking over of public arteries and thoroughfares’ by a few people activated by a certain group. [More…]
The Australian Council of Trade Unions suggests that there be a protest. [More…]
When taxation deductions were announced there was an immediate protest about pensions. [More…]
If the Budget had included increased pensions there would have been a tremendous protest about taxation deductions. [More…]
There was to be a protest anyway and the subject of it did not matter. [More…]
This was not a protest to improve conditions and pay of workers, for which the trade unions were formed. [More…]
It was a protest to get political power for the Australian Labor Party, for the Leader of the Opposition and for Mr Hawke, if he can win a seat some time after having failed in Corio. [More…]
I would be interested to know what ideology motivated these gentlemen from the soil in carrying out demonstrations to register their protest at the way in which governments of the colour of the Government in this House and in the States have treated primary industry. [More…]
I want to protest about the inequitable manner in which taxation reductions have been made. [More…]
By depriving Stale schools of urgently needed basic requirements such as teachers, classrooms, equipment and so on the Liberal-Country Party Government is arousing a ferment of protest and resentment against aid for nonState schools. [More…]
In response to the honourable gentleman I do not want to comment about any specific case because the Government’s attitude has been made clear, but I say that if the Leader of the Opposition and members of the Opposition, including the honourable gentleman who has raised the matter, wish to protest concerning the refusal to admit Mr Gregory let me remind them that, according to a Press report today, the executive of the Vietnam Moratorium Campaign has in fact banned the honourable member for Wills from participating in its proceedings. [More…]
It occurred to me that Mr Hawke could have made a real killing if, instead of advising 1 million or more workers to strike for 3 hours as a protest against the Government, he had asked those workers to donate 3 hours of their work time to the old people of Australia. [More…]
This was before the protest rallies on the Budget, lt has echoes but it is one of these curious things of which the echoes are before the event. [More…]
People have a right to protest. [More…]
That is why I am on my feet at the moment to protest at what T see and know. [More…]
But not a word of protest did we hear from the people who demonstrate so vehemently. [More…]
Not a word of protest came from the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Whitlam) or from the Party he leads. [More…]
Possibly I would protest but I would certainly not do what was threatened on the occasion of the last cricket tour of England by South Africa. [More…]

I wish to add my protest to that of the honourable member for Lang regarding the type of inquiry that the Minister for Repatriation proposes for repatriation procedures. [More…]
In our concent over civil disorder we must not mistake lawful protest for illegal activities. [More…]
At the same time, we must indicate an understanding of different points of view, a capacity and a willingness to protect the right to legitimate protest and an appreciation of the fact that many people, particularly the younger segment of society, feel great and legitimate concern over aspects of our society that hitherto have been accepted largely without question. [More…]
First of all may I register my protest at the failure of the Minister for Civil Aviation (Senator Cotton) to make available to honourable members a copy of the annual report of the Department of Civil Aviation? [More…]
On 15 September 1970 the State Minister for Town Planning replied to a letter sent to him in protest against the proposed development of the Gnangara area for housing. [More…]
No mention is made of the public protest meetings on the airport within the Kalamunda or the Belmont Shires and the petitions of protest seeking the shifting of the airport or the implementation of a night curfew. [More…]
No wonder they have come out in their thousands to sign petitions and protest at this absurd situation. [More…]
I rise tonight to register my protest, along with the protests of honourable members opposite, at the dilatory approach by the Government to the problem of aircraft noise. [More…]
The 5 municipal councils in the Blue Mountains - Windsor, Blacktown, Penrith and Colo areas - have joined together to protest against the possible siting of a second airport for Sydney in their area. [More…]
However in doing so I protest on behalf of the sporting bodies, trade unions and associations, such as the Royal Automobile Club, which have been so severely affected by the proposed alteration in the system of postage relating to magazines. [More…]
But before 1 come to that I am moved by the answers and the statements made by the Minister for the Interior (Mr Nixon) at question time to point out that I was also misrepresented on 7th May last, the day after I addressed a meeting outside Parliament House to protest against the Vietnam war. [More…]
advice should be to protest his conscientious objection? [More…]
I rose today principally to protest against the Government’s action in this Budget of imposing a most unfair, unjust and stupid excise on wine. [More…]
Dr Radford’s findings of several years ago, substantiated by recent smaller surveys, establishing a gross over-representation of students from upper socio-economic families and an excessively large underrepresentation of children from lower socioeconomic families at universities only adds grist to the mill of protest at the way in which want in education is institutionalised by neglect, and privilege and advantage fostered by direct government support. [More…]
Is it any wonder that angry residents of Rabual sent a cable of protest to the Prime Minister (Mr Gorton)? [More…]
In the few minutes left to me, I wish to comment on the remarks of the honourable member for the Australian Capital Territory (Mr Enderby) who has moved an amendment of protest at the Public Order Bill which is concerned with law and order. [More…]
Mr Speaker, I rise tonight to protest against the imposition of a blatant political ban on the export of meat to the United States in the guise of quarantine and wholesale meat requirements. [More…]
The situation is one which requires the’ strongest protest and action by the Australian Government. [More…]
Just imagine, Mr Speaker, the way in which this country would move should we accept without protest these kinds of suggestions, this kind of advice, by a Leader of the Opposition that the law should be broken even when it does not need to be broken, and even when the objective can be achieved without it. [More…]
inflation; frustration; indignation; protest; panic; angry, divisions within the national’ community; premonitions of McCarthyism. [More…]
For example, I hold up to the House this magnificent publication entitled Two Centuries’ which sets out to show all facets of Australian life and of the Australian people including people engaged in protest demonstrations, lt was printed many, many months ago and no doubt it has pride of place in the private libraries of most honourable members. [More…]
Honourable members will see, if they look through it, photographs taken by the Bureau of protest occasions. [More…]
They filmed Australian National University students on Friday week on the lawns outside this place in their Moratorium march as an antiVietnam protest. [More…]
And they will, I dare say, photograph the farmers in their protest next month. [More…]
But the record was arranged weeks before to give the police a filmed answer to any photographs produced by defendants in any proceedings taken by the police and arising out of this protest which of course was known to be about to take place for weeks past and to which question time was devoted for weeks before in denigration and misrepresentation. [More…]
I preface my question to the Minister for Health by reminding him of my numerous letters concerning a decision of a panel of 5 doctors at Springwood, New South Wales, to withdraw from the pensioner medical service in protest against his Department’s restrictions of pensioner treatment. [More…]

An intolerable situation has arisen in which an increasing number of important Australian meat works are being removed from the American export list on the flimsiest of excuses without any known protest by the Federal Government. [More…]
1 wish to lodge a protest in respect of the time allowed for this debate. [More…]
The north Queensland port authorities have made the strongest possible protest to both the State and Federal governments regarding the behaviour of shipping companies and the future policy with respect to meat exports from the north. [More…]
In the past few weeks there have been examples of industrial protest against grievances in the Navy and the Royal Australian Air Force. [More…]
These have been tactfully handled by senior officers in these Services; the men involved also have heaved with restraint once their initial protest was made. [More…]
What I did not have time to say and what I say now is that those who have enjoyed the spirit of protest and those who have enjoyed the great fight for civil liberties against law, order and any responsibility in this country may well be reaping the reward sometime in the near future. [More…]
So we had to wait a little longer until we had the case of the Western Australian Government v. Chamberlain Industries Ltd, a good Western Australian company but nevertheless not sufficiently patriotic to its own State to pay the tax without some form of protest. [More…]
I do not think anybody ought to be proud of legislation validating in retrospect what has already been collected in many cases, what has been sent in to State stamp duty offices in other cases under protest, and in still further cases what is awaiting the decision of this House as to whether it has to be sent in in the form of duties from 18th November, when the Hamersley case was first decided, to 30th September, the date decided by that other partner in the present Government coalition, namely the Democratic Labor Party. [More…]
But the main point that I want to raise is that if we can find this S50m - and I say that the amount is near that figure if it is not quite that - we can certainly find a few extra million dollars to reimburse the States for that amount which has not been collected by the States up to 30th September or which has been collected by the States under protest and which is the only amount which the States would have to reimburse to taxpayers within the boundaries of their States. [More…]
I believe that TAA accepted the Government’s decision under protest and under duress, for the simple reason that it is a Government authority and for no other reason. [More…]
I have never known Tasmania people - from all walks of life and of varying political opinions - to be so united as they were in the outcry at and protest against the recent I2i per cent increase in freight rates. [More…]
A protest occurred. [More…]
I do not intend to keep the House very long, but I make some protest at the bringing on of legislature like this at this time. [More…]
But I have to lodge a protest, in effect, over the allocation under the Second Schedule of the Bill insofar as the allocation to South Australia for underground water resources is concerned. [More…]
I am leading on behalf of the Opposition, and again I must raise some protest about this practice because, after all, the measures which we are debating set the pattern in Australia for the next 5 years - at least if this Government continues in office - for the financial arrangements between the Commonwealth and the States. [More…]
So, the British Government is to break the trade agreement with Australia if what the right honourable gentleman says is true, Slid noi a word of protest is heard about ft. What is the use of a trade agreement with a country like Great Britain that is supposed to have been so favourable to Australia if that country is to be allowed to get away with breaking that trade agreement without one word of protest by the responsible Australian Minister. [More…]
The Government continues to protest that although there is an admitted aggregation of buyers there is no collusion in buying. [More…]
As the Department of Civil Aviation has known of the Qantas Boeing 747 programme since 1968, we feel it is necessary to protest yet again at the apparent inability of the Department to do its forward planning effectively and at its apparent indifference to the requirements and possible implications of a Committee investigation. [More…]
I make my protest together with the Committee itself at the indifference, the insensitivity and the gross obtuseness whether of the Department of Civil Aviation or of the Minister for Civil Aviation I do not know and I do not care, but the Minister is responsible. [More…]
I believe that the honourable member for Newcastle (Mr Charles Jones) moved this amendment as a form of protest against the absence of foresight by the Government in not planning for the foreseeable future. [More…]
Mr Speaker, I am afraid that I must protest again about legislation coming on for debate at this time of night. [More…]

[More…]
So I lay my small protest on the table in this regard. [More…]
The stoppage was in the form of a protest. [More…]

When we heard that France was about to detonate a nuclear device we protested and we will continue to protest whenever we hear that this or any other kind of nuclear explosion is likely to be made in the Pacific theatre. [More…]
Not a murmer of protest, not a twitch of agitation came from him when the last Budget was unveiled to this House - a Budget which gave a miserable 50c a week to a pensioner on $15 a week, or if married, on $13.75 a week with an inferential homily on how the public purse was being strained with this gesture of ‘generosity’. [More…]
He mentioned that these and other evils are accepted without protest. [More…]
One wonders how much the people who protest, so the Minister says, about love scenes are trying to protect themselves from disabusing their own minds on misconceptions they have about sex, love and human relations. [More…]
Imported comics systematically purvey what the advocates of student repression would brand as filth … but they never protest. [More…]
It was unanimously decided by the Motion Picture Exhibitors Association in Queensland at its conference at Surfers Paradise last year that people were starting to protest against the standard of sex films which were being released in Australia - and believe me, morally these films are the very best of them. [More…]
I must confess that I am rather disappointed at the protest made by the World Council of Churches regarding the Laos action. [More…]
The technique of protest known as the ‘sit-in’ is such an intrusion. [More…]
Therefore, any nation that receives the official representatives of other nations should see to it that they are protected against harassment or intimidation by organised groups of protesters. [More…]
Lel us have a look at some of the things he said about non-violent protests. [More…]
I ask whether the protest at the office of the Rugby Union organisation in Sydney a short while ago during which people threw bricks through windows and tried to destroy equipment was a non-violent one. [More…]
I realise that in the Committee stage of the Bill I am somewhat restricted in what I can address myself to, but in spite of the earlier comments of the Attorney-General (Mr Hughes) that the States had agreed with the Bill and on the composition of the various bodies, I wish to register a very strong protest not only at the content of the Bill but also at the way the States have been prepared to step down and hand over their rights to the Commonwealth. [More…]
The protest movements are disintegrating because of frustration. [More…]
If one reads what has been said by serious students of the protest movement in the United States one sees that there is a greater fear about what will happen when the protests die. [More…]
I have spoken with the visiting bishop who was here and who has spoken about South Africa and the South African protest. [More…]
The honourable member implied that Bishop Crowther had advocated violent protest against the visiting Springbok team and that his expression of solidarity with the Black Power movement was an endorsement of violence. [More…]
He advocated any legal means to protest against the Springbok tour, but emphasised his personal opposition to violence. [More…]
I think that protests do become a bore, but oppression becomes a bore too. [More…]
I don’t accept violence as a means of achieving social protest, but I think demonstrations need not be violent.’ [More…]

Now we hear his voice raised in protest against those measures. [More…]
Did you vote in protest against them, Sir? [More…]
It does not seek to stifle or to silence the freedom to dissent, protest or demonstrate. [More…]
It in fact safeguards dissent, protest and demonstration. [More…]
People get involved in protests and demonstrations for many reasons, but it is undeniable that there is a very small group of people who use protests and demonstrations not to protest about conscription or Vietnam or education but to build up the revolutionary movement. [More…]
They protest under the banners of freedom and justice, but they simply do not believe in the freedoms and justice which we cherish in our democracy. [More…]
to create better order amongst those people who so lack power that they .can do no more than protest in the street against an exercise of power. [More…]
The McMahon Government now wants to outlaw protests and demonstrations but it makes no attempt to understand what these protests. [More…]
There is a clearly implied conflict in the reasoning of the former Attorney-General and of most of those who think like him that the public interest is on the one hand and that political protest and demonstration are upon the other. [More…]
There is no concept or suggestion that political demonstration or protest could be part of the public interest and could be in the public interest. [More…]
No, all one has to show is that somebody who wants to do something for some political purpose, a protest or a demonstration, interferes with someone who wants to make money or with someone who wants to use a public office for conscription or to work for the war in Vietnam, or with some diplomat working for apartheid or for the Soviet Union. [More…]
Then all one has to say is that those persons want to use their premises for those purposes and the use of the premises for political protest or demonstration has to be swept aside, lt is never in the public interest to make any facilities available for public protest and demonstration. [More…]
Because it is not in the Government’s interest to do that; because as a thoroughly conservative organisation it does not want any protest or demonstration. [More…]
The public interest is never to use the streets for the purpose of a political demonstration or for any other political purpose, although every liberty we have and almost every penny that anyone has these days has come from a background of struggle in which political protest and demonstration has won those things for us. [More…]
But I do take this opportunity to protest that we are not given the opportunity to debate this important statement. [More…]
It is deplorable that in recent years representatives of some foreign governments, and their premises, seem to have become increasingly the object of disorderly, and even violent, dissent or protest. [More…]
All of this I do not dispute, but nevertheless I must protest that there are times when freedom is not helped by obeying the law, when the most vital freedoms have to be defended by defying the law. [More…]
I do not think this should be allowed, and it has concerned me that no member of the Labor Party over the last 18 months has raised this matter, inquired into it or appears to have made any protest that nothing has been done to bring this man to trial or at least to apprehend him when, I understand, he did not appear on the date fixed to hear the serious charges raised against him. [More…]
Protest marches through city streets have been orderly and under the guidance of the local law. [More…]
I believe that, as a result of the gallant and brave actions of some women in Victoria in going to gaol in protest against the destroying of human life and in the hope that others might live, there will be more demonstrations by the mothers of our nation against our involvement in Vietnam. [More…]
This gives some measure of the seriousness of this motion, and the unbearable unfairness and persistent provocations that have moved the Opposition to protest in this way. [More…]
I think we can all appreciate the attitude of members like the honourable member for Lalor (Dr J. F. Cairns) who only yesterday in this House indicated quite clearly his approach to the new wave or philosophy of dissent and protest which is sweeping, apparently, not only this Parliament but also areas outside. [More…]
Whenever there have been demonstrations of protest against the’ national service scheme the Government has sought to use whatever powers have been available to it to curtail or eliminate such demonstrations and similar activity. [More…]
Rather it further constricts rights to protest and obscures just what is allowed and what is not in the public streets. [More…]
If the Government wanted to provide a positive example to all levels of law and regulation in this country, it could have given a positive statement of what it regards as the right to assemble in public for protest. [More…]
For example, in the areas of Commonwealth legislative responsibility, it could have listed places where protest could be made publicly without liability for penalty. [More…]
It could have listed times such as Saturdays or Sunday afternoons or off-peak hours when streets or other public places could be used for protest without liability for obstruction. [More…]
It could have listed public buildings where peaceful protest could be made at certain hours. [More…]
But if they want the same privilege to protest against the treatment of Aboriginals or Vietnam or racist sporting policies there is no way in which they can do so peaceably without exposure to penalty. [More…]
If a positive acknowledgment were made of the validity of public protest and the rights and duties of public dissenters were written into the law, then most of the problems associated with public demonstration in Australia would be eliminated. [More…]
Undoubtedly this sort of protest is subject to abuse; in essence, however, it is a form of passive protest. [More…]
There have been examples in the past few days of the use of a passive presence on Government property to register protest. [More…]
The curbs against this sort of protest in the Bill before the House do not seem warranted by the history of this sort of demonstration in Australia. [More…]
It has been one of the most effective forms of protest in the history of dissent. [More…]
There are legitimate grounds for allowing this form of protest, with it stated clearly in the law what is reasonable conduct and what is not. [More…]
Restriction on places where reasonable protest can be made has the effect of isolating a government completely from criticism of any form. [More…]
The issues of political protest and the right to dissent have been dormant in the past few months. [More…]
With the possibility of future confrontation, the Government had a golden opportunity to clear the air and define exactly the sort of conduct at public assemblies of protest it deemed reasonable and within the law. [More…]
including a proper consideration of the right and enjoyment of persons to peaceful assembly and peaceful protest and the public communication of ideas and social comment and a proper balancing of the interests they represent, it constitutes an unreasonable obstruction . [More…]
I have not heard of anyone wanting to protest about these 10,000 children who are going to die today in India and Pakistan. [More…]
If anyone ever wanted a good reason for wanting to protest and demonstrate this great human tragedy must surely provide one. [More…]
My greatest fear, that the debate would degenerate into a left wing versus right wing, labor versus liberal, protest versus anti-protest squabble, appears to have been realised. [More…]
One prominent sports writer accused some politicians of ‘hopping on the bandwagon’ and others have suggested that it was ‘this year’s issue’ for protesters who didn’t really know very much about apartheid anyhow’. [More…]
A considerable number of red herrings have been dragged into the debate, such as: ‘Why do you not protest against the Russian Soccer team and the Moscow Circus because of the treatment of Soviet Jewry?’ [More…]
Our own cricket officials now argue that the South African cricketers have shown their opposition to apartheid, therefore Australians should not protest against a team of fine sportsmen who have done their best. [More…]
I would like them to urge others to do the same and peacefully protest against the tours. [More…]
I believe in civil rights and the freedom of the individual to follow his conscience and choose his own method of protest. [More…]
Spokesmen for the medical profession protest that these 2 most common of all medical services present an unfair picture, so let me put the matter another way. [More…]
Unless the Government can provide some legitimate and reasonable excuse for adjourning the Parliament on that day, I believe the Opposition is carrying out its responsibility to the people of this country by protesting in the only way we can protest when the Government introduces a motion of this nature to suspend the 11 o’clock rule. [More…]
If that- is regarded as the proper way to transact the affairs of a nation I certainly want to make my small measure of protest about it. [More…]
I have made what protest I can on behalf of the Opposition. [More…]
There were stoppages of protest on the particular issue, which finally culminated in a total stoppage by members of this Union approximately a fortnight ago and, from the latest information, this stoppage is still going on. [More…]
If I had had my way and had had the opportunity to confer with my colleagues, I would have recommended that we oppose all clauses of this Bill as a protest not only against the fact that we have to debate it so soon after it was presented in this House but also against the form of reporting on financial matters to this Parliament and therefore to the people of this country. [More…]
If the Opposition did decide to oppose these Bills it would do so merely as a form of protest. [More…]
I wish again to lodge a protest against the existing machinery for recurrent grants to the States. [More…]
A protest was entered on behalf of the Opposition by the honourable member for Melbourne Ports (Mr Crean) who felt very keenly about the matter. [More…]
I enter my protest at the programming of the House if it involves this kind of procedure. [More…]
Mr Deputy Speaker, I reiterate that this represents contempt of the Parliament.I join with my colleagues in registering a protest and in asking that, at least on this point alone, the matter be set to one side until the constitutional position has been properly clarified. [More…]
However, I should be recreant to all that I have said for years if I did not protest against this guillotine. [More…]
I merely protest against what is being done. [More…]
I know that it can be argued, probably successfully, that towards the end of a session honourable members have always taken the opportunity - indeed they have been forced to take it - to protest at the Government’s attitude in curtailing the business of the House, thus restricting the rights and opportunities of honourable members to speak. [More…]
Their voices are raised in protest at the actions of the Government in aligning itself with the Conference Lines and coming into this House and saying that it bought in because it wanted to have an Australian voice in the Conference Lines. [More…]
When those whom they claim to represent in this Parliament are affected in this way, members of the Country Party make no protest. [More…]
The debate from the Government side so far has featured an apparent silent protest by the members of the Australian Country Party, who have not yet spoken, and 2 Liberal speakers making apologies, including the honourable member for Wannon (Mr Malcolm Fraser) who seems to have misunderstood completely the amendment which I am now seconding. [More…]
Apparently, it has bludgeoned the States into acceptance of the scheme, but not without protest. [More…]
I do not know what unions they are in, but if I was a union secretary in charge of the staff of Parliament House; I would take the staff out on -strike in protest against the conduct of this Government. [More…]
I want to protest at the beginning about the way in which this Bill is being pushed through without an opportunity for the Opposition te deal with this matter properly. [More…]
I was interested also to hear him at the outset protest at the time he was being given to speak on the matter. [More…]
-I raise my protest over the lack of coverage in this Bill for an outworker or contractor, sub-contractor or owner-driver, particularly because of the growing practice of employing these people in the Commonwealth service. [More…]
I do not want to speak at great length on this, but 1 do think that it is important for some protest to be made in this Parliament about what appears to be the extremely high-handed manner in which this Bill has been framed, whereby the Commonwealth has reserved for itself virtually the right to take money out of the Victorian Treasury if the Victorian Government is able to prove in the High Court that the payroll tax which the Commonwealth has been levying against it is not constitutional. [More…]
Then Chou makes an enormous statement - a statement so offensive, so sweeping and so damning to this country that even the Leader of the Opposition should have risen in protest. [More…]
Is there any protest or even an angry and bewildered silence? [More…]
He did not protest but that is his affair. [More…]
Despite every protest it was indicated that it would be retained. [More…]
I do not think any of us doubt the genuineness of his hope that the Australian Government will cancel future tours by South African rugby union and cricket teams as a form of protest against the apartheid policies of the South African Government, but I do believe that a great percentage of the people of Australia are frankly not interested in using the cancellation of these tours as a method of protest. [More…]
My first point in rising is simply to protest. [More…]
Let me record my protest in the strongest possible way that I do not believe we ought to pass this Bill this day in this manner. [More…]

I want to protest at the sort of answers I have been getting from the Minister for Health and the PostmasterGeneral (Sir Alan Hulme) on this matter of advertising. [More…]
I want to protest at the sort of answers I have been getting from the Minister for Health and the Postmaster-General (Sir Alan [More…]

His protest was against the dropping of this programme. [More…]

It is meant to demonstrate, admittedly in just a small way, that we are concerned and that we protest at the fact that in spite of all of the Government’s hints, suggestions, promises and implications to the contrary, the Government has still produced no basic rethinking or restructuring of the Australian social welfare system. [More…]
Mr Deputy Speaker, I register the strongest possible protest at this action. [More…]
I conclude by registering my protest at the manner in which the Leader of the House has notified us tonight of the intentions of the Government in regard to a number of matters that are on the notice paper. [More…]

Some orthodox economists protest that governments must be restrained in essential building by clamping these interest charges on top of the capital cost; otherwise, we are told, the Government will overspend and create shortages of labour and materials, building costs will skyrocket, and there will be increasing use of overtime, insufficiently skilled labour on this type of work and overaward payments. [More…]
Both of those honourable gentlemen said that the honourable member for Sturt had done nothing more than protest against the secrecy. [More…]

On behalf of the Opposition 1 would like to protest about the way in which an increasing number of these types of decisions are being taken. [More…]

I find it quite strange that the Country Party accepts this proposition without any protest whatsoever, lt is not difficult to understand the principal reason for this. [More…]

If there is this high protection and industry is making huge profits then of course the Labor Party will cry out in protest but it never crys out against the cause of the high profits. [More…]
The estimated number of parents who attended on each occasion to protest about education in the Australian Capital Territory was something like 1,000. [More…]
I hesitate to think how many Parents’ and Citizens’ Associations meet regularly in Canberra not just to discuss whether they can meet the tuckshop expenses but to protest vigorously about the teacher turnover, the low state of morale that exists in the schools here and matters of that sort. [More…]
First, I wish to protest at the haste with which this legislation is being pushed through the House. [More…]
But the point is that such people have a choice and a voice with which they are allowed to express a choice or to protest, which right is denied to a serviceman. [More…]
Why did you not protest? [More…]
As an Opposition we want to raise the greatest possible protest. [More…]
Tonight I register my protest at having to debate in this Parliament at a time when most members are not in a state to absorb the. [More…]

I ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs or the appropriate Minister: Can he tell me whether any protest was made about the French nuclear tests in the Pacific and whether any protest has been made about the American nuclear test last weekend? [More…]
If no protest has been made, why has a different course been adopted in the case of the French tests from that adopted in the case of the American test? [More…]
We did formally protest against the testing by the French in the Pacific. [More…]
Instead of motor vehicle bodies being constructed to last longer it would seem to me that manufacturers are concerned mainly with securing as rapid a turnover as possible without too much protest from the public. [More…]
Within the next few days I intend to call a protest meeting in the central west which will be heard from one end of this nation to the other because I am fed up to the teeth with the way country airports and air services have completely deteriorated. [More…]
But in the interests of the people of Kingsford-Smith I will continue to protest loudly and say that I support my colleague from St George. [More…]

1 dare say that, as usual, this sort of attack upon parliamentary democracy, even though 1 concede that that was only in its beginnings in Thailand - nevertheless it was a start - will not cause any official Australian Government protest against the situation in Thailand. [More…]
It has in many instances, with a terrible heartlessness, deprived low income groups of houses which they did not want to part with, so much so, that as recently as August of this year, no fewer than 250 residents of Fitzroy which is in my electorate marched in protest into the Brooks Crescent area, where the Commission was attempting to have a demolition order placed on the street so that the houses could be torn down to make way for another high-rise ant-hill; in answer to the demand for more houses. [More…]
One of the residents pointed out to the protesters that it was ironical and incongruous that potentially good houses should be pulled down against the wishes of the owners to make way for flats. [More…]
The RSL urges you to make your protest now [More…]
By the thousands people lined up in that country to protest against this conflict. [More…]
More publicity was given to those in universities who did not want to go and who wished to protest. [More…]
I understand that there has been a protest by vice-chancellors to the Australian Universities Commission concerning the Commonwealth’s failure to provide for die necessary increases granted by awards. [More…]
Of course there should be loud howls of protest from the hundreds, and possibly even thousands of would-be university students who are not able to get to universities because of the operation of quotas on the one hand and by the high fees that are being demanded of them on the other hand. [More…]
In the 16 years I have been a member of this Parliament I have never seen the honourable gentleman offer one mild protest as far as his position in his own Party is concerned. [More…]
But I do want to use this amendment as a vehicle to protest against the Government’s policy of skim and dabble in education. [More…]
All that we can keep doing is to prod the Government and protest in the hope not that its conscience will in some way alter its future record, but that the Australian community will get the message in some way and realise that the record speaks for itself, that people should be judged on what they do, not on what they do not say while simply getting on the bandwaggon and trying to take advantage of the situation. [More…]
I enter this debate to protest at the failure of the Commonwealth Government to make a specific commitment to education, apart from the circumscribed causes, such as libraries and science blocks, to which it gives money. [More…]
I think we all should go home tonight and realise that these people are spending this money through their representatives in the Parliament, and 1 voice my word of protest. [More…]
All over the world, where any love of liberty survives the despotic tendencies of feudalism or monopoly capitalism, men cherish the right to throw down their tools in protest against some grievance too great to be borne by free men. [More…]

7m in the private school sector, although we do protest about the failure of the 2 great States to publicise what are their educational needs. [More…]
Does he not find it strange that those in our society who consistently complain of inadequate government expenditure in social welfare areas have found this unessential expenditure unworthy of protest? [More…]
I ask the Prime Minister: Does he ever contrast the method and practice of the Government, when workers make an application for a wage increase, of briefing senior counsel to go into court to try to disprove the evidence they give in their application and of resisting publicly and privately in every way what the workers and salary earners try to do in order to get an increased wage or salary with the method of having a private discussion in his office with representatives of Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd when they propose to increase the cost of steel by over $50m, and making no protest or taking action effectively- [More…]
Details of the most recent Australian official protest, on 20th April 1971, arc contained in the answer to Question No. [More…]
For details of previous protests the Honourable Member’s attention is dire.’ [More…]
Concerning the Government’s plans for future protests, the Honourable Member’s attention is directed to part (2) of the answers to Questions 1509 and 4772 referred lo above. [More…]
appeared in a protest demonstration in the court in Darwin in the first instance, 1 was challenged in this House. [More…]
I wish to protest about this kind of thing. [More…]
That protest should be made against the proposal to establish an international airport at Richmond owing to the detrimental effect it would have for the environment there and in surrounding districts. [More…]
The Prime Minister misled Parliament on 9th September last year when he claimed that he had sent a formal letter of protest to the Prime Minister of South Africa. [More…]
This was the very reason why opponents of apartheid last year were utterly unconvinced by his claim that the best and only way to protest against apartheid was through the responsible and formal official channels that he was using. [More…]
He has therefore completely vindicated the opponents of the sporting visits last year, because they and not he accepted be responsibility of expressing Australia’s protest. [More…]
It would not surprise me if he originally had decided to send a letter of protest, but was put off after a friendly little chat with the South African Embassy. [More…]
Certainly however, he even stooped to asking the South African Embassy officials here whether they would be upset if he sent a second - or rather a first-letter of protest. [More…]
The protest was that roofs were leaking and the maintenance section of the Department of the Interior would not or could not attend to the problem. [More…]
The ostensible reason for yesterday s budden boycott was that ‘many’ of the union’s Irish members came ‘asking us what we were going to do* to protest at the shootings in Londonderry last Sunday. [More…]
The ordinances were introduced in October last year, and promptly a number of complaints were made by local parents and citizens associations protesting about the increase and the effect it would have. [More…]
The protests were that this would have a terrible effect on low income families. [More…]
1 have been told, and I accept, that a number of other parents and citizens associations discussed the problem but passed no resolutions of protest because they were persuaded - and it is a common view held in this city of Canberra - that once an ordinance has been introduced it is too late to protest. [More…]
We have available statutory declarations from a number of Aborigines but an insufficient number to put in a protest on the particular poll in the Stuart electorate showing that the Aborigines who were registered did not receive ballot papers or that they were held up somewhere on the way. [More…]
Yet another fatal accident on the treacherous unsealed South Australian part of Eyre Highway has caused me to lodge a protest on behalf of those who can’t - those who have lost their lives through man’s apathy. [More…]
I just wish to register a protest on behalf of the members of the Commonwealth Public Service and the unions in the Commonwealth Public Service at the manner in which this Government has treated them. [More…]
1 register a protest at this stage and, at a later stage when this matter is debated. [More…]
I hope that other members on this side of the House also will register their protests at the cavalier fashion with which the members of the Service have been treated. [More…]
Ratepayers groups throughout the country are holding meetings to protest about the fact that their rates are too high. [More…]
He may protest, as he did on television the other evening, that he has at various times sent his children to a 2-teacher government school near his home in Victoria. [More…]
So the irrigators have gathered in protest meetings in Whitton, Finley and Hay. [More…]
As far asI am concerned, from here on tonight I will protest against every clause, including this one, because the Government has no right to ram the meassure down our necks. [More…]
I make this kind of speech -I know that my colleagues support me - to register our protest at the interference with the rights of the next Government of this country in not letting it legislate properly in accordance with the accepted practice of all democratic parliaments. [More…]
I would first of all like to protest against the manner in which this Bill has been brought on for debate. [More…]
The distinct lack of substance which has emanated from the Opposition this evening amply substantiates the suggestion made by the honourable member for Sturt that the Opposition should have made one speech and then sat down as a matter of protest. [More…]
The employee will not be able to protest, for if he takes some action to refuse he faces trial without witness, without union representation or legal representation. [More…]

That protest should be made against the proposal to establish an international airport at Richmond owing to the detrimental effect it would have for the environment there and in surrounding districts. [More…]
I raise this matter of public importance because yesterday newspapers throughout Australia carried a report of a call to Australians to occupy the streets of Melbourne in a protest about the Vietnam war. [More…]
Why has he been reported as saying that people who want to protest against communist North Vietnamese aggression in the south are not welcome to take to the streets with him? [More…]
He is reported as having told those who want to protest against the aggression by the north against the south that they would not be welcome at the demonstration. [More…]
The Labor MHR for Lalor, Dr Cairns, called yesterday foi a mass ‘return to the streets in protest against the intensified war in Vietnam*. [More…]
I return to the newspaper article, which refers to a call by the honourable member for Lalor for a mass ‘return to the streets in protest against the intensified war in Vietnam’.- Has the Government no feeling for what has happened in that country? [More…]
He said people who wanted to protest against the presence of North Vietnamese troops and tanks in South Vietnam would not be welcome in the Moratorium march. [More…]
Across the world the communists have contrived and presented a process of protest and mass manipulation of public opinion. [More…]
The difference is this: With the communists clearly staging an unprovoked, major offensive, suddenly the great many voices of protest are silent. [More…]
We have seen Australian Labor Party protest and sabotage of the Government’s defence policies from 1954 onwards, when they joined the Communist Party in denouncing our decision to send troops to help the British defend Malaya. [More…]
That protest should be made against the proposal to establish an internal airport at Richmond owing to the detrimental effect it would have for the environment there and in surrounding districts. [More…]
In 1963 there were blanket increases in rentals in zone 5 and this led to an outburst of protest. [More…]
The settlers then protested to the then Premier of South Australia, Sir Thomas Playford, and he offered rentals at various rates. [More…]
This should reinforce the strength and sincerity of our protest against the resumption of these tests. [More…]
Above all, we must not give the impression that our protests are mere formalities. [More…]
Before these accurate assessments become official by the announcement of the Prime Minister at the completion of the day’s proceedings, we have the ridiculous spectacle of the Premiers presenting claims and the Commonwealth protesting that the demands cannot be met and recommending lesser amounts as an alternative. [More…]
Following the offer by the Commonwealth the Premiers protest that they cannot balance their Budgets on the amount offered. [More…]
That protest should be made against the proposal to establish an international airport at Richmond owing to the detrimental effect it would have for the environment there and in surrounding districts. [More…]
They discovered the formal wording and subsequently they forwarded a petition, not in the hope that it would find the same unhappy end that my letters, telegrams and speech in the Parliament had found, but hoping that their protest might be treated with some dignity. [More…]
The people of Australia are entitled to this form of protest. [More…]
I am not saying for- one moment that what is being suggested today will deprive the public of a form of protest. [More…]
This Parliament exists because of John Citizen - because of the people whose right we question to sign a petition and to protest. [More…]
On the other hand, I am not suggesting that if a member walks into this House and says that his electors in Cooktown or some other part of Australia wish to put forward something, because there are only 10 signatures that person or those people should not have an opportunity to have their protest heard. [More…]
But most of the protests at that time did not come in the form of a petition. [More…]
I had almost 1,000 protests in one day in the form of letters and telegrams. [More…]
Not one protest was made by way of a petition. [More…]
We had hundreds of such protests coming in. [More…]
People were protesting against nationalisation and the financial policies of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Because the protests were not in petition form members of the Australian Country Party went as a block with an armful of these protests and presented them to the then Prime Minister, Mr Chifley. [More…]
They put the protests on his table. [More…]
I have not moved an amendment on this question because I realise that the Government probably would use its numbers to defeat it, but I should like to register my protest against the Committee’s decision. [More…]
As I said when I rose to speak, I just wanted to make these few remarks in order to record my protest about the unfair way in which question time operates. [More…]
That protest should be made against the proposal to establish an international airport at Richmond owing to the detrimental effect it would have for the environment there and in surrounding districts. [More…]
By way of explanation may I say that for about 4 hours last Saturday a Mustang aircraft chartered by the Army flew in roughly a circle at a height of about 1,500 feet over a residential area in my electorate, returning to each point in the pattern at about every 2 minutes and that an officer of the Department of Civil Aviation informed me at the time of my inquiry about the matter that 24 people individually had telephoned to protest. [More…]
The Commonwealth Minister for Housing (Mr Kevin Cairns) was there, but he did not protest at that analysis of Commonwealth expenditure on housing for Aboriginal people. [More…]
To my knowledge, the Labor Party has made no protest whatsoever against the invasion of Laos and Cambodia by North Vietnamese forces over the past decade or longer. [More…]

Only 2 days ago I received a protest from the city of Albury pointing out that the virtues of imitation, ersatz or plastic meat - whatever term one likes to use - were to be extolled at a public demonstration. [More…]
But further, to leave it to the trade union movement alone to protest is only compounding the folly. [More…]
The only people other than Labor members of Parliament who have raised their voices in protest publicly have been the maritime unions who are concerned about Australian trade, and the Australian workers affected. [More…]
They have protested at flags of convenience utilising island seamen on minimum wage standards and conditions, thus taking away most, if not all, of our inter-island trade and benefits generating from such trade. [More…]
That the committee report to the House as soon as possible and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
I protest that it is time that this amount was raised. [More…]
No, I have not received any suggestions or representations from the Australian Labor Party that we should protest against the tests in China. [More…]
Did he discuss with the Prime Minister a further possible protest to the South African Government against its racial sporting policies as mentioned by the Prime Minister on 9th September 1971 (Hansard, page 989)? [More…]
The statutory responsibility for determining this falls upon the Parliament, for better or for worse, I do not know of any occasion, or at least I cannot recall one, when emoluments of officers in this category have been adjusted without there being some protest. [More…]
I also join my voice in protest at the limited time available in this House to backbench members, especially backbench members of the Opposition, to adequately represent their electors by having the chance to speak or to ask questions on matters which con cern them. [More…]
The original wording has been watered down to the word ‘hazard’, which we have accepted with protest, and this has been one of the excuses that have been used for reducing the time allotted to the warning. [More…]
I do not deny the right of people to protest provided that in doing so they do not deny other people the freedom which they demand for themselves, and provided they protest without senselessly damaging property belonging to other people. [More…]
The young protesters ought to go down on their knees and thank God for what America did for Australia during World War II instead of behaving in the thoughtless and thankless way in which they do. [More…]
I had deliberately refused to nominate so that I could publicly protest at what was going on in the Australian Labor Party in New South Wales. [More…]
I want to protest against the action of the Government in moving the motion now before the House. [More…]
We like to have freedom of the ABC but we like the right of protest, too. [More…]

The honourable member’s question refers to the fact that the Professional Radio Employees Institute of Australasia has threatened to withdraw its operators from Australian National Line ships in protest at the use of the ship Echuca’ on the run from Melbourne to Tasmania to service that State’s export container trade. [More…]
Did he assure the House on the afternoon of 6th April 1971 (Hansard, page 1456) that he has already communicated a protest to the South African Government against its exclusion of black South Africans from this team. [More…]
In view of his statement that his protest was communicated to the South African authorities before he made his statement on the afternoon of 6th April 1971, will he now state at precisely what time (a) he instructed the Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs to convey the protest and (b) the Secretary conveyed the protest. [More…]
Will he now say where this protest was conveyed and to whom it was conveyed. [More…]
Will he table a record of the conversation in which the protest was conveyed. [More…]
On what date did he inform his Cabinet colleagues that he had arranged for the protest to be sent and which colleagues did he inform. [More…]
A similar viewpoint has been taken by the rel* vant committee of the Parliament of Western Australia, namely, that the tent in front of the West Australian Parliament House, which is a protest against the conditions of Aboriginal housing in Western Australia, should ultimately be removed. [More…]
Initially, the Federal Government tolerated the embassy, but as the issue became more of a thorn - and the protest more effective - it foreshadowed the introduction of an ordinance to clear the tents. [More…]
The Aboriginal embassy’s letter told the Queen that, if the ordinance is allowed to become law, it is likely to result in a serious abrogation of the rights of all Australians, whether Aboriginal or otherwise, to bring before the Federal Parliament a continuous peaceful protest [More…]
But outside this Parliament was a protest of the heart, which was by no means ineffective ia speaking to the conscience of Australia in the persons of thousands of tourists -and others who visit this city. [More…]
The legislation does not restrict the traditional rights of freedom of speech or assembly or the rights of people to protest. [More…]
The fundamental fact remains that the Government was faced with the situation in which any protest group or minority group, whether they be fascists, Croatians, unionists, pensioners, wool growers, wheat growers - you name it - could camp with impunity on the lawns outside this building or on unleased land in the city area of the national capital, Canberra. [More…]
The first concerns the use of the lawns in front of Parliament House and the second is the question of protest by Aboriginal people here and in other parts of Australia’. [More…]
Let me make this clear: If there is to be protest about the way in which the Government has been handling the affairs of the Aboriginal people, particularly since the Government took over control and responsibility for the Aboriginal people as a result of the referendum in 1967, then it is right that the House and the Australian people should know how much we have done. [More…]
It was a protest against the failure of this Government to understand what land means to the Australian Aborigines. [More…]
It was a protest at the failure of the Government to meet these needs. [More…]
It was a very modest protest but it became a major symbol in the eyes of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
The protest was winding down. [More…]
The Government made the protest a more effective protest by its own precipitate action. [More…]
The Australian Government has been protesting against all atmospheric testing, not in a selective way excluding Communist countries and being soft with them. [More…]
We have been protesting against both France and China. [More…]
When it was suggested this year that the French would start testing in the Pacific we were the first country to lodge a protest. [More…]
The attitude that has been taken by people who support resolutions of that kind, including this present Government, is that they will not protest against the testing of nuclear weapons by one nation but only against all. [More…]
Hansard to a protest which I made against Russian tests. [More…]
To sum up for myself against the charges made by the honourable member for La Trobe; I have protested. [More…]
I did protest against Russian nuclear tests when they were being performed in the atmosphere. [More…]
I have protested against Chinese nuclear tests. [More…]
In particular, have discussions taken place with New Zealand which, like Australia, is an ally of France, and which, earlier this year, lodged a protest with the French Government over the impending tests? [More…]
The Australian Government has on numerous occasions in the past clearly stated its opposition to such tests to the French Government both through public statements and through the delivery of official protest notes. [More…]
I have protested at this attitude that communications between the Commonwealth and a State are confidential under legislation that this Parliament has passed providing for such communications. [More…]
I have protested about this since the middle 1960s. [More…]
I believe it was in 1966 or 1967 that I had occasion to protest, in particular when the late Mr Holt was Prime Minister, at the reluctance to give any information about water conservation or construction projects in Queensland. [More…]
We hear no protest against irresponsibility. [More…]
So, we emphatically protest against the Government’s attitude in this respect. [More…]
No wonder the voice of protest has to be raised so often. [More…]
The only black African leader to protest against Uganda’s racist policies was, to his credit, President Nyerere of Tanzania. [More…]
If the Treasurer listened to the voice of protest in Western Australia and paid attention to the current signing of petitions in this regard he would take another look at the matter. [More…]
So I protest. [More…]
I protest also about the fact that this motion was not on the notice paper for today. [More…]
I should like to protest at the repeated absence from this House of the Treasurer (Mr Snedden) when any debate takes place over which the Treasurer nominally is in charge. [More…]
I can only regard the action by the people concerned as being in very poor taste and interfering with the rights of individuals to conduct their worship - in this case, Mass at the Cathedral throughout Sunday - and I hope that people who desire to protest in some way or another will respect the rights of people to worship in this country as they so wish, without this sort of impediment. [More…]
If he applauds them he has not given any indication of it in this Parliament He has never uttered one word of protest against the very low level of national wages that we have at the present time. [More…]
Prime Minister and wife second class visitors and not worthy of hospitality extended to foreign heads of state stop In declining invitation in protest at Government’s mean and paltry approach to this visit desire to state that if Government can afford to regularly send Ministers public servants and their wives on luxury trips abroad members and wives invited to official functions of this kind in honour of such a distinguished personage should be entitled to expect adequate financial provision will be made by Government to enable them to attend. [More…]
Surely the test of protests in the ultimate is to be found in dignity - not dignity in any snob sense, but dignity in terms of resolution but at the same time dignity in terms of advancing a cause. [More…]
If they were of any race on the face of the earth who sought in this way to extend their protest, I would seek to discourage them, not on the ground of seeking to daunt them at all in prosecuting their cause but rather in the firm belief that it was so useless, so forlorn, and not achieving what they seek to achieve. [More…]
I wish to protest against the manner in which this country of ours is being governed at present. [More…]
It was only because there was some protest on this side of the House from honourable members who wanted to talk on this matter that finally the Government was forced to adjourn the debate to another time and so we are given the opportunity now to discuss it. [More…]
There was an avalanche of protest and the honourable gentleman found himself under attack within the Federal Executive and that embryonic first attempt at some wages policy had to be abandoned. [More…]
Finally, I protest at the way these things are done. [More…]
In response to my protest I got this answer: [More…]
Some amazing facts are outlined by the Committee; amazing in that they are very different from what is rammed down our throats at protest meetings. [More…]
The Committee’s publication ‘Action Against Aircraft Noise’ shatters some of the wild emotional misstatements made at protest meetings. [More…]
I believe that the time to protest and to draw the attention of the responsible authorities to this matter is now. [More…]
Strongly protest at any suggestion of any part of the Hawkesbury Electorate being used as commercial airport. [More…]
Despite his protest, high rise flats are being erected and are occupied, and from inquiries made the people living in them, with a few exceptions, are happy to remain there. [More…]
By the volume of public protest- [More…]
No note or protest has been made at this stage to the Yugoslav Government. [More…]

That we, the undersigned protest against the action of the Commonwealth Government in letting the contract for the advertising rights for the Victorian Pink Pages Telephone Directories to an American company, General Telephone and Electronics Corporation U.S.A., trading in Australia as Directories (Aust.) [More…]
The basis on which this protest is persisted in is that we are opposed to the increase of nuclear weapons of war wherever they are; we are opposed to the cumulative effect of fallout as pollution in the atmosphere of the Earth; and we are opposed to the cumulative effect which may ultimately become a hazard to health. [More…]
For these reasons we intend to persist in our protest. [More…]
I appreciate that the Minister for Immigration (Dr Forbes) has a difficult time making decisions on matters of immigration, but I must protest at the constant frustration which is being experienced by one of my constituents, a Mr David Crane of Rivervale. [More…]

[More…]

Mention has been made of protests. [More…]

However, it ls true to say that there was a much greater protest from growers outside this House, so much so that some adjustment was made in the number of types of wool excluded. [More…]

Despite his protest, I believe that the Prime Minister’s involvement in the Jetair affair is so deep as to constitute serious malpractice which should result in his resignation as Prime Minister. [More…]

Why has there not been a single word of protest against China’s nuclear testing programme from the Prime Minister and others who are so critical, and rightly critical, of the French tests? [More…]

I withdraw it under protest, because I recall that in the previous Parliament so many people- [More…]
That was done to protest against the Bill that was going through the House. [More…]
Without wishing to put too finer point upon it, a stiff note of protest to the US after a nuclear war is not likely to have much impact. [More…]
They have said, in effect, that if democracy does not work - which really means, does not work in their favour - it is acceptable for people to occupy the streets, to protest through sit-ins, to encroach on government and university property and to commit various other unlawful acts. [More…]
But for years we have seen the spectacle of leading members of this Parliament - those who now sit on the Government benches - advocating rule by demonstration, rule by violent protest and in fact the circumvention of the democratic processes by which a government is elected and given a mandate to carry out its policies and by which the people can change that government if its actions no longer appeal to the majority. [More…]
Like the honourable member for Kooyong (Mr Peacock), some years ago I supported the principle of lowering the voting age for the very simple reason that I felt that young people, instead of being compelled, because of a lack of another means of expressing their views, to indulge in violence and protest should be integrated into the parliamentary system, should have the opportunity to convince fellow citizens that their views were right, should be able to elect members to the Parliament and should be able to bring about by parliamentary means the reforms they desired. [More…]
Deputy Leader of the Opposition refer to protest by youth. [More…]
If we do not - if we think the only answer is to suppress dissent - then the responsibility for violence will hang as heavily on us as it does on those who protest. [More…]
This alienation does not represent a foolish protest movement. [More…]
It became a focus for protest and was being represented as being of much more significance to the women’s issue than in fact it was. [More…]

He was a member of a government which, without protest passed through this Parliament legislation which created the present situation. [More…]
This was done against the protests of employees in the industry; it was done according to the basic philosophy on which the Liberal Party governed, namely, that the government should not act in matters of relationships between employees and employers. [More…]
Marie had been named as a terrorist in the Yugoslav Government protest presented to the Australian Government on 16th August 1972. [More…]
My reason for speaking is to protest at the indicated attempts to erode the primary producer’s rights to negotiate for his survival and to correct the wrong impression that was conveyed by the Minister for Health at the Biloela meeting on Saturday, 3rd March. [More…]
This may lead honourable members to think that 1 do not believe we should protest about the French continuing atmospheric nuclear testing. [More…]
I believe that we were quite right in protesting and in continuing to protest over the years and that we should take whatever responsible action we can to mobilise world opinion against those who continue to conduct atmospheric nuclear tests. [More…]
I have said we were right in protesting and continuing to protest. [More…]
Whilst Australia has less cause to protest than other countries in terms of actual fallout on its territory, we are in a position of some influence in the Pacific and we can assist the protests of smaller Pacific nations whose real concern when expressed individually, may not be accorded much weight. [More…]
In fact Australia has protested about the French tests in the Pacific ever since they were commenced. [More…]
These protests became progressively stronger. [More…]
While diplomatic relations were not established with the Mainland Chinese we could protest only in general terms through the United Nations. [More…]
This we did, following up on general protests with a specific note handed to the French authorities. [More…]
Now that the new Government has established diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, similar channels for specific protests are open to it. [More…]
If atmospheric nuclear tests are contemplated by the Chinese then we are duty bound to protest to them in similar vein to our protests to the French. [More…]
The most effective form of protest is open to debate. [More…]
Furthermore, the Department of Foreign Affairs had unfinished business to pursue in the light of a protest note received in about August last year from the Government of Yugoslavia. [More…]

Does the Prime Minister now agree that his anti-American protest letter and the insulting public utterances of one-eighth of the Australian Labor Party Ministry have done our relations with the United States grave harm? [More…]

Our replies concentrate on the particular incident, whether a demonstration or an explosion, which prompted the latest Yugoslav protest. [More…]
Let us ask the Attorney-General when he comes before us whether this man has been treated in such a way because the laws relating to public service inquiry do not apply to ASIO personnel and therefore he would not have the same right of protest as any other public servant who attended that meeting would have. [More…]

That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
I have protested to the Yugoslav Government at the fact that these actions were taken by that Government without the Australian Government having been informed that the 3 Australian citizens had been arrested, were being held or were being tried. [More…]
For instance, our predecessors had taken the attitude that no useful purpose would be served by making protests, that they should not be made and that we would be on rather weak ground in making a formal protest. [More…]
The protest note which I made to Yugoslavia is completely valid and the whole question is unaffected by the fact that the Attorney-General and the Ambassador did not inform the Department of Foreign Affairs. [More…]
The protest I made was valid. [More…]
He left his deputy as Acting Prime Minister, failing to give rum any information and allowing the Acting Prime Minister to look as big a fool as the Prime Minister looked when he sent the Australian Ambassador to make the protest in Zagreb. [More…]
because of the limitations imposed by the problem of dual nationality, and since, in Mr Grskovic’s case, there is no evidence that he has been denied the normal protection of Yugoslav law, I feel that the Australian Government would be on weak ground in registering a formal protest. [More…]
Affairs, Mr Whitlam, has sent a strong protest to the Government of Yugoslavia at their failure to inform the Australian Government of the arrest, trial and execution of 3 persons who, as naturalised Australians were regarded by Australia as having been entitled to the full protection accorded to all Australian nationals charged with offences against the laws of third countries. [More…]
The protest note pointed out that Australia’s feelings were stronger in view of the active measures taken by the new Australian Government against terrorist activities in Australia. [More…]
The precise words of my protest, which I quoted in answer to a question yesterday, were: . [More…]
Also on 13 April the Press release stated, although this is not in the protest: [More…]
Commenting on- the Government’s protest Mr Whitlam said the Australian Government had a policy of clear opposition to the use of the death penalty. [More…]
All we have had is a formal, restrained, limited protest note from the Prime Minister, not a sign of the outrage that would follow if the Labor Party had these executions thrust upon it from a non-communist country. [More…]
The Prime Minister has made it plain that there will be no further protest to the Yugoslav Government. [More…]
Of course, notwithstanding what the Leader of the Australian Country Party (Mr Anthony) put - I tried to correct him by interjection - we did send a protest note to the Government of Yugoslavia when we discovered what had happened. [More…]
I remind the House that one of the Prime Minister’s first acts towards one of this country’s most friendly international neighbours was to deliver a strong note of protest to the President of the United States of America. [More…]
We sent a strong note of protest to the Yugoslav Government once we knew what the facts or some of the facts were, followed up with the notes which the Prime Minister read out in the chamber and the letters about the other 10 people. [More…]
He said: ‘Because of certain suggestions’ - one was the aide-memoire that had been received from the Yugoslav Government at the time - ‘it might not be appropriate to make a protest. [More…]
There is little merit in protesting.’ [More…]
He said: ‘Don’t protest’. [More…]
At this stage it is just a matter of sending protest notes at the diplomatic level through the Australian Ambassador in Belgrade. [More…]
Whom should we telephone then7 To whom should we send protest notes then? [More…]
I argued against a protest being made in that context at that time. [More…]
In doing so I record my protest on behalf of the Opposition Parties at the amount of time which the Government has been prepared to allow for debate on this legislation. [More…]
While the Tramways Board, by going to the High Court, was frustrating the desire of the Commissioner in his attempts to settle this dispute the union was involved in a number of stoppages over the issue in protest against the action of the Tramways Board. [More…]
I begin on a mild note of protest and that is to this effect: I understand it is the wish of the [More…]
I think the House will simply have to hear more of this because the evasion that has been witnessed by us has been tremendous, and I protest on this occasion and I hope that the Opposition, if it continues, will take stronger action. [More…]
Under the Standing Orders, there are procedures - Mr Speaker, thanks to your ruling I am now availing myself of one of them - under which we have the right to make some protest. [More…]
I am reminded also that with all his great outcry he still sat silently by while the Australian Country Party sold its wheat to Red China - as it was called at that time - and he did not utter a word of protest about that at any stage. [More…]
I could search the Hansards until I went blind and I would not find one word uttered in protest against the conduct of the previous Government when we on this side were being hammered into the ground. [More…]
This protest, as with similar protests in previous years, was conveyed in the strongest terms, and the French nuclear weapon tests at Mururoa Atoll were repeatedly deplored and condemned by the Liberal-Country Party Government. [More…]
I protest in the strongest possible terms. [More…]
The honourable member for Mackellar will be disappointed to learn that Laurie Car michael and Jack Mundey have not sent me telegrams of protest. [More…]
He will be disappointed to learn that the Waterside Workers Federation of Australia, the Seamen’s Union of Australia and the Miners Federation also have not yet sent me telegrams of protest. [More…]
We al] have received in the last few days letters from that Association condemning the establishment of a royal commission as ‘a clever device by the pro-abortionists to save from defeat a Bill which deserves, by reason of the iniquity of its measures, and the huge volume of public protest it has generated, to be overwhelmingly defeated’. [More…]
Fifty-nine Church leaders of all faiths have signed a statement appealing to politicians, organisations and citizens to protest against this Bill. [More…]
First and foremost, Mr Speaker, I want to protest at the difficulty Government back benchers have in getting an opportunity io speak in this Parliament. [More…]
I have at least one strong supporter who does not hide the fact that he is a Roman Catholic and who will strongly support me in this protest against the persecution of these people in a Commonwealth nation. [More…]
It is within the memory of every member of this House that when sporting representatives from a country that is notorious for selecting its teams on a racial basis came to Australia the people of this country, including of course trade union officials and members, raised great protest at the flaunting in the face of the Australian people of the policy of such a decadent regime as that of South Africa. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
1 did have discussions with the Prime Minister of New Zealand who, as the right honourable gentleman will be aware, had already indicated that, as a part of his Government’s protest against the French nuclear testing in the South Pacific, New Zealand would be sending a frigate to the area. [More…]
As a preface, I refer him to his Press conference of 8th May at which, in reply to the question ‘Have you had any response from the Chinese Government on your protest note on the nuclear testing? [More…]
’, he said: ‘The protest to China was oral, so there would be no written response’. [More…]
The protest took the form of a letter from the Minister for Foreign Affairs to the Chinese Foreign Minister, Mr Chi Peng-fei. [More…]
Finally, precisely what form did the Australian protest to China take? [More…]
If it was a written protest, does the Prime Minister expect a response? [More…]
Today I asked the Prime Minister about the Chinese protest note. [More…]
Today I asked about the fact that the Prime Minister had stated that the protest note was oral. [More…]
Yet in supplying an answer to a question on notice to the Attorney-General (Senator Murphy) for inclusion in the Senate Hansard he stated that the protest took the form of a letter. [More…]
The point on which I should like to make my protest is that, while it is not an offence to sell this type of glass for use in windscreens, nor is it an offence to sell faulty safety helmets, seat belts or mag wheels, it is an offence for a person to fit them and to use them. [More…]
We have heard honourable members on the other side of the House protest strongly that this legislation will not lead to what Opposition members suggest it possibly could lead to. [More…]
It is along this line that I raise my protest on this Bill. [More…]
Has the Australian Government taken any action to protest against (a) the judicial murder of a family of 5 Iraqi Jews in Baghdad and the previous public hanging of Jews in that city; (b) the detention and murder of Pakistani prisoners-of-war in Indian POW camps; and (c) the judicial murder of Asian and Ugandan citizens in Uganda. [More…]
In fact, this is one of the main reasons why the primary producers of Australia finally revoked and took part in protest marches in respect of the wheat industry, the wool industry and other industries. [More…]
It organised protest marches. [More…]
It is no use the honourable member protesting. [More…]
Honourable members opposite can protest as much as they like; that is the key point of the Victorian election. [More…]
The Government believes that there is a responsibility on it to protest in a vigorous way and for that purpose it has instituted proceedings before the International Court of Justice. [More…]
It is the Government’s view that emphasis should be placed on this protest in this way. [More…]
The ‘Wall Street Journal’ did not see fit to print his letter, which was written as a protest. [More…]
1. considered that that was unreasonable, and think ATT had some reason to protest about it. [More…]
So much so that in August 1971 no fewer than 250 residents of North Fitzroy, which is in my electorate, marched in protest into the Brookes Crescent area where the Housing Commission was attempting to have a demolition order placed on the whole area, so that the houses could be torn down to make way for another high rise anthill, in answer to the demand for more houses. [More…]
One of the residents pointed out to the protesters that it was ironical and incongruous that potentially good houses should be pulled down against the wishes of the owners to make way for flats. [More…]
In my previous speech on this subject I said that we were right to protest against the French. [More…]
Then on 8 May he put forward the extraordinary position that there had been an oral protest to the Chinese Government about their tests. [More…]
But when he was asked whether he would expect a reply, he said no, he would not expect a reply to his protest because it had been an oral protest and therefore there would not be any reply. [More…]
In a written answer to a question on the Senate notice paper he said that in fact the protest note had been a written protest note which had been handed to the Chinese Foreign Minister. [More…]
So under any measurement, there is a very real case for Australia being consistent in its opposition to atmospheric nuclear testing and, if we are going to the extreme of taking the French to the World Court, we should certainly place a much stronger protest with the Chinese than the one which was firstly described as an oral protest to which, therefore, we would receive no reply and which secondly was seen to be a written protest and to which still we do not know whether we are to receive any reply. [More…]
If we are to be consistent - if this Prime Minister is to have any credibility in the eyes not only of Australians but also of the world - then he must protest to the Chinese as well as to the French. [More…]
The second is the text of a protest by 17,000 Catholics in Lithuania dated 27 March 1972 and refers to the systematic religious persecution going on in that country in contravention of the Soviet constitution. [More…]
I rise to protest against what I believe to be a grave injustice, that is being perpetrated against a small business and to protest against what may well be a widespread restrictive trade practice. [More…]
Is he aware that the report stated that, in answer to a question directed to him about whether he had received any response from the Chinese Government to his protest note on the nuclear tests, he said that the protest to China was oral so there would be no written response? [More…]
program Dr Fitzgerald, Australia’s Ambassador to China, stated that his predecessor, Mr Cotterill, lodged a protest note with the Chinese Assistant Minister? [More…]
It was not necessary for him to read the report of the conference in the daily Press to know that he had stated unequivocally that the protest to China was oral and that for that reason he did not expect a written response. [More…]
The transcript states quite clearly that the protest to China was oral so that there would be no written response. [More…]
As Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs he should have been aware that the Ambassador to China whom he appointed had stated in a radio interview that a protest note had been lodged with the Chinese Assistant Minister. [More…]
He asked whether the Australian Government had made a protest to the Chinese Government about that country’s nuclear atmospheric testing, whether there had been a protest and whether it had been verbal or written. [More…]
Senator Willesee replied that a protest had been lodged and that it had taken the form of a letter from the Foreign Minister to the Chinese Foreign Minister. [More…]
The Prime Minister, who is also Foreign Minister, must have written the letter of protest himself. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
Therefore the Opposition makes the strongest protest it can against the Government’s action in this respect. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
I am sure that the honourable member for Riverina (Mr Grassby) would protest very strongly if water in his electorate was taken away and sent down to Adelaide. [More…]
Just a few days ago a group of young Australian women at the Barham High School, which is right on the Murray River - there were about a dozen of them - wrote to me to protest against discrimination. [More…]
The discrimination that they protested about was that a few yards away is an area which has tertiary institutions that they would like to attend. [More…]
I remember very well a member of the Country Party who attended a meeting of his constituents and congratulated them on their initiative in organising a protest meeting about the embargo on the export of merino rams. [More…]
In speaking against or to, whichever way one might interpret it, the motion moved by the Minister for External Territories (Mr Morrison), who is at the table, I wish to protest– [More…]
I take advantage of this opportunity to protest at this debate being gagged just before 12.45 p.m. today. [More…]
This is not the first time that I have registered such a protest myself. [More…]
I wonder whether the honourable member cares to recall, when he stirs the Returned Services League to protest, the very strenuous protests he received as Minister for Repatriation about the woeful inadequacy of the pensions that were paid to totally and premanently incapacitated ex-servicemen and general rate pensioners. [More…]
I have documents in my possession concerning those protests but I will not bother the House with them because most honourable members who have been in this House for a time are familiar with them. [More…]
It is easy enough to make loud noises of protest. [More…]
Honourable members opposite protest and say: ‘Do something’. [More…]
But of course when we listened to the Deputy Leader of the Country Party, the honourable member for New England (Mr Sinclair), when he opened the proceedings this evening on this measure, we heard him debase the currency of protest. [More…]
I protest very strongly against the action that the Government has taken. [More…]
I protest very strongly against this action. [More…]
I simply voice my protest and also my hope that the Government has no further unpleasant shocks in store for those who invest their savings in areas outside the major capital cities. [More…]
He has not said one word of protest. [More…]
Honourable members know the great protest that was made by both sides of the House about the services provided at The Lobby. [More…]
Strongly protest decision to downgrade eleven grade two post offices and one grade one post office in Tasmania to non-official status. [More…]
protest against employers employing handicapped people. [More…]
As the Postmaster-General is aware, I have already made representations to him following a large protest meeting at Quambatook some weeks ago. [More…]
1 want to voice the most vehement protest about this bungling that has been going on and the way in which the people in these areas have been treated. [More…]
This is not good enough and I voice my protest. [More…]
We of the Country Party make that protest, Mr Speaker, because we are concerned for the small investor. [More…]
In spite of this, there has been no protest from either the Australian Medical Association or members of the Opposition, some of whom seem to be well briefed spokesmen for at least parts of the medical profession. [More…]
But then again, there has been no protest from either of these groups in the past in spite of the fact that most of us who are members of health insurance funds have to carry some sort of membership card which is numbered and which we have to return to the fund when we make an application for medical or hospital benefits. [More…]
One of the interesting features of this whole debate, apart from the contributions made by Country Party supporters, is that both the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland) and I as the Minister representing the Minister for the Media have not received one protest about this increase from the Federation of Australian Broadcasting Stations and we have not received one protest from any broadcasting station throughout Australia. [More…]
I protest in the strongest possible terms against this action taken by the Leader of the House (Mr Daly) It is an outrage and a flagrant misuse of the forms of this House. [More…]
There was never any protest in the past about the fact that most of the senior secondary scholarships - 25,000 last year, tenable this year - went to children in the higher socio-economic bracket and that as a consequence of that most of those who go on to tertiary education come from that socio-economic group. [More…]
At meeting after meeting of meat producers, not only in my own area but in other areas as well I found meat producers threatening to keep their meat from the market in protest against the meat tax which the honourable member for Eden-Monaro so blithely tried to defend tonight. [More…]
This letter and the enclosed petition is to protest against the increasing decline in the moral standards of our community. [More…]
We make the strongest possible protest to the Parliament about the manner in which the Government has abused the forms of the House at every opportunity. [More…]
It was only when this Government’s policies on foreign ownership began to bite that we began to hear these cries of protest against the Government’s policies and performances. [More…]
I would like to walk out without voting and take no part in it as a protest against what has happened to that magnificent report of March 1970 after 2i years of hard work. [More…]
Protest to your ALP member now. [More…]
What has happened is that the members of the Country Party are trying to paint a false picture, but what concerns me about these sectional gentlemen is that they are giving the impression to the Australian people, who are mostly in the cities, that the currency of protest has been so debased that no one from the countryside can be believed in the future. [More…]
But after hearing the debasement of the currency of protest by the extravagant language and the inadequate expression of opinion that we hear from members of the Country Party on minor matters, we find that the genuine case has already been destroyed because of their being extravagant and being in fact the worst propagandists since Dr Joseph Goebbels met his untimely end, or perhaps it was a timely end, in the bunker in Berlin. [More…]
Tonight I want to raise again my voice in protest at the procrastination of Ministers of this Government. [More…]
The development which is proceeding bears no relationship to the debased currency of protest that we hear from the Opposition. [More…]
I preface it by reminding honourable members that yesterday the Prime Minister told this House that he had made strong protests in China about Chinese nuclear atmospheric testing. [More…]
If he made such a strong protest, why was there no mention of it in the final communique? [More…]
Such a contention does no credit to him or any member of this Parliament who would listen to him without raising voice in protest. [More…]
Our protest at this stage is about the lack of prior time for consideration of a measure which, as will be shown later in this Committee discussion, is a radically different approach and one which therefore calls for a lot of consideration. [More…]
With 5 minutes of the debate on this Bill remaining it is unfair of me to hold the floor any longer, but I would like to record my protest at the manner in which this Bill has been rushed through the Parliament with so little discussion. [More…]
During the time when I sat on the other side of the House I raised my voice in protest and my vote was in protest against what took place. [More…]
In fact, one wonders whether his procrastination is designed to destroy the purposes of the Aged Persons Homes Act, because he can protest that there is a $2 for $1 subsidy whilst on the other hand the ceiling limit remains and the whole scheme is strangled by the financial inability of the organisations building this type of accommodation to set their contributions at such a high level either that it means it is impossible for occupants to pay it or alternatively that it means it is impossible to raise the funds through fetes and similar fund raising activities. [More…]
Why does the Opposition in this House not make some protest about that sort of restriction and intrusion? [More…]
I again raise a protest on behalf of the Opposition at the way in which I, as Opposition spokesman on health and social security, and all honourable members on this side of the Parliament are being forced to debate a document which is one of the most important documents that has been tabled in this Parliament in many years. [More…]
This is in dramatic contrast to the proposition floated by the last Government to reduce expenditure by the ABC in the field of public affairs, but fortunately this exercise was withdrawn after debate and protest in this Parliament. [More…]
Because I was absent overseas at the time I did not have an opportunity in any of the debates on the various Bills implementing the Government’s Budget decisions to make my protest at what I regard as a most vicious kind of discrimination in which the Government has indulged against the people who live in country areas. [More…]
For this reason I want to protest on behalf of my Party and my constituents at the decision. [More…]
The main protest by Liberal members when the Bill went through the House was directed against the higher charges levied on country newspapers. [More…]
The Opposition makes howls of protest at the undemocratic driving through of a BUI which is not to be adequately debated. [More…]
Finally, I suggest to the honourable member that the next time letters of protest come in from Gympie, apart from some of them being in similar handwriting and air of them appearing on the same sort of notepaper it might be advisable not to send them all in one envelope. [More…]
-I rise to continue my protest on behalf of those constituents of mine - and possibly yours, Mr Deputy Speaker - who have constantly complained at the inability to get any Government to decide to apply a night curfew to Perth Airport or to arrive at a final decision as to its resiting. [More…]
Over many years protests have been made and petitions lodged with this Parliament on the both matters, but to no avail. [More…]
Teachers made protest after protest. [More…]
From time to time members of the public and conservation groups protest about proposals to mine, clear or otherwise alter important natural areas but the real conflict is that, with the demand for productive use of resources being now so widespread, it is affecting some of the last natural areas. [More…]
Despite the Minister’s disparaging and inaccurate remarks, as usual, about the noise I was making or about my not having done anything about this - that was a complete falsehood - on referendum day in 1967 I was in the lead of a protest procession marching down the street carrying banners bearing such words as ‘60,000 voteless voices’. [More…]
There was also a protest notice nailed to what would have been the polling booth door. [More…]
Because he persists in his pomposity, the only solution for the defence of Australia is that this man should resign as a protest at what his Government has done to him, if he seriously believes in the statement he made tonight that he is advancing Australia’s defence cause instead of destroying it. [More…]
Render your protest. [More…]
I rise to register my protest at the removal of the age allowance for income tax purposes. [More…]
On behalf of the pensioners I register my protest at what this Government has done. [More…]
The Australian Government has not made any formal protest to the Spanish Government concerning these matters, but its strong opposition to any deprivation of basic human rights and fundamental freedoms is well known. [More…]

We had protest marches by farmers in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. [More…]
However much the Government may protest to the contrary, however much it may twist and distort figures and however much it may emphasise individual cases and incidents and attempt to make people believe that black is white and white is black, this has been the experience of the overwhelming majority of- Australians.

I have asserted it against those on my side when they commanded the numbers, and I did not find myself on the honours list as any consequence of the protest that I made. [More…]

Unfortunately, at the same time a protest demonstration was taking place outside Parliament House in which representatives of the Aboriginal population were involved and an incident occurred which caused widespread criticism throughout the nation. [More…]
In fairness to the Aboriginal population, I do not think that I would have to go outside my own electorate to see things which would make any Aboriginal want to protest if he was genuinely interested in the welfare of his own people. [More…]
There have been protest meetings in all parts of my electorate - at Yarram, Traralgon, Sale and Bairnsdale. [More…]
There have been protest meetings throughout Australia on the lack of knowledge and lack of understanding of this Government. [More…]

I register my protest that arrangements which probably allow metropolitan members to be in their electorates on Anzac Day but which deny that privilege to members who live in outlying areas are just not good enough in relation to a day as important as Anzac Day. [More…]
I raise this point with the Minister and register my protest against what I believe is a lack of recognition of the importance of Anzac Day and a lack of recognition of the needs of members from outlying areas. [More…]
The fact that 6,000 farmers, in an unprecedented show of unity, met at Subiaco Oval in peaceful and orderly protest the same afternoon has been given no or scant regard by the daily Press, while the antics of a group of alleged farmers demonstrating in Forrest Place have been blazed in headlines across the nation. [More…]
However much the Government may protest to the contrary, however much it may twist and distort figures, however much it may emphasise individual cases and incidents and attempt to make people believe that black is white, this has been the experience of the overwhelming majority of Australians. [More…]
The Leader of the House went on to protest about that notice of motion and actually said that as this motion had been put in as No. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
Anything is good enough to attack the Labor Party on, but some fair and just criticism of the activities of those who manipulate the Country Party from their city dwellings and other places immediately brings forward this phoney storm of protest from the Leader of the Country Party. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from time to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]

Maryborough and over the strongest protests of its people. [More…]

I think the real truth of the matter was raised by the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen) when he quoted the real feelings of the producers of trade union journals and others who voiced their strong protest in this matter. [More…]
Secondly, and more importantly, what humbug it is for a member of the Opposition to protest against the taxing of pensions when the Opposition proposed this very thing in this House and when the former Minister for Social Services, who has spoken in this debate, mentioned that this was a practice which would have been followed had the Opposition been a government. [More…]

Last Sunday in the Sydney Domain there was a meeting to support a protest in relation to the treatment that had been accorded to Mr Valentyn Moroz, a Ukrainian in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
There should be throughout the world some kind of protest on behalf of this distinguished and heroic man. [More…]
I say this because, although members from this side of the House were present at the protest meeting at the Sydney Domain on Sunday and although no members from the Government side of the House were present, I understand that 2 members from the Government side of the Parliament have associated themselves with this protest. [More…]
I am informed that he has made some kind of protest in this regard but, as it happens - it is unusual in the case of a Deputy Prime Minister- his protest has passed unregarded and no publicity has been accorded to it. [More…]
If the Deputy Prime Minister is honest in this, as I am sure he must be - we should give him the credit of being honest in this - I am sure that he would like publicly to be associated with this protest. [More…]
If a protest is being made by a member of the Government, by a Government Minister, by a Deputy Prime Minister, it should be accorded the whole weight of the Australian Government. [More…]

I ask that the Government make an official protest at the United Nations General Assembly which will be convened in a month or so. [More…]

I know that the Minister at the table will not be able to give an opinion off the cuff but I ask him to see that this matter is referred to the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) so that when the Parliament meets for the Budget session he will be able to tell us that an official protest has been made to the United Nations. [More…]
On both occasions I have come under censure from the Soviet authorities because I made this kind of protest in the United Nations. [More…]
If we are to make this kind of protest against one nation, let us make it against the Soviet Union. [More…]
That the committee report within the shortest reasonable period and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report [More…]
Not one city council has expressed one word of opposition to or protest against our plan. [More…]

However much the Government may protest to the contrary, however much it may twist and distort figures and however much it may emphasise individual cases and incidents and attempt to make people believe that black is white and white is black, this has been the experience of the overwhelming majority of Australians. [More…]
Mr Chairman, as the first senator to take part in this debate I wish to register a very strong protest on behalf of the Opposition at the fact that this Bill comes before the Joint Sitting at all, or that it was ever used as a ground to justify seeking the double dissolution of this Parliament. [More…]
Did the Government deliver protest notes to the Chinese and French Governments on 18 June 1974 for exploding nuclear devices in the atmosphere; if not, what form of protest took place; if so, were the notes in the same terms, or were they identical. [More…]
Was the note to the French Government a stronger protest in any respect; if so, why. [More…]
Was the protest in the notes in each case a protest against atmospheric testing, or testing in general. [More…]
The protest in the Notes in each case was a protest against atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. [More…]
In many ways he led the protest which was registered with France. [More…]
We do not believe that we can let this matter go by without making our full protest. [More…]

I would venture to say that today’s protest outside Parliament House in Western Australia would be impossible under the terms of the Bill which suspends our proud West Australian heritage, our democratic constitution in that State. [More…]

-The first thing I want to do is to lodge a protest on behalf of the Opposition that this very important Budget Bill should be introduced into the House for consideration in detail by the Parliament before the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Snedden) has had a chance to present to the Parliament his analysis of the Budget as a whole. [More…]
I will leave that aside but will get to the fact that in my State, anyway, elected Labor Party senators and others in the State field are refusing to attend growers’ meetings when they wish to register their protests. [More…]
But they must be allowed the right to protest, and they will protest tremendously when every country investment in a country town is hit by increased telephone charges or, if you like, petrol charges, because people in those areas use those facilities almost entirely for their job- to earn their income. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Australian Country Party has moved an amendment along the lines that we accept this legislation but that we do so under a form of protest. [More…]

Does anyone protest against the rights that we have established for these people? [More…]
This is the sort of injustice, unfairness and inequity that the Liberal and Country Parties protest about. [More…]
But they never protest against the exposed and denied position of so many people in this community. [More…]
The Tasmanian members were concerned enough then to protest belatedly. [More…]
The fact that one out of five of them is in the chamber for this Bill shows that the protest was rather short-lived. [More…]
I wish to protest about the 10 per cent surcharge on investments. [More…]
These people have little desire to draw attention to themselves by public protest. [More…]
In fact they comprise the least likely section of the community to protest at any level. [More…]
Firstly, I protest to the Minister for Transport (Mr Charles Jones) about the decision taken to ship Christmas Island phosphate rock in Australian ships whenever possible. [More…]
Sometimes it is nothing more than a protest and so we had the many Vietnam moratoriumsthe protests when a government, through its bloody-mindedness and its refusal to recognise the change in public opinion, had to put up with and was confronted with protests. [More…]
So it is that in Ringwood in the electorate of my colleague, the honourable member for Cas.sey (Mr Mathews), 1,200 to 1,500 people attended a meeting on Sunday to protest about a freeway. [More…]

[More…]
As a result they go ahead and pay the increased rentals without protest. [More…]
Never let any honourable gentleman opposite ever protest in this Parliament about the authority of the House of Representatives. [More…]
I would have thought that, having regard to what was said during the debate this afternoon by several honourable gentlemen opposite, there would have been some measure of protest within the Government Party itself at the ramming through of a Bill of this highly complex nature in a matter of, as things go now, 65 minutes. [More…]
The Committee of the Parents’ and Friends’ Association of St. Leo’s College, Box Hill, wishes to register a strong protest on behalf of parents, at the decision announced in the recent Federal Budget, to reduce allowable taxation deductions for education expenses from $400 to $ 1 SO per child.

Possibly the strongest protest about aircraft noise is led by people who are not regularly or consistently subjected to the noise but who go into the area to make an assessment or appraisal and are rather shocked by the intensity of the noise, whereas people who live there and are conditioned to the noise find in time that it is not intolerable. [More…]
It is quite clear that if there had been a diplomatic protest I would have heard of it. [More…]

[More…]
Quite frankly, I do not think that it is a right and proper way in which to protest. [More…]
Confirming this last night, a spokesman for Senator Cavanagh said Aborigines would also have to end all forms of protest in Canberra before talks could begin. [More…]

Of course, honourable members opposite, who represent in the main those who are the major owners of income earning property, can be expected to protest vigorously against any tax that brings property into the tax base, but that does not invalidate the argument for it. [More…]
Anyone who has given anything to a charity and anyone who has ever benefited from the work of these organisations must continue in their public protest at the possibility that tax deductibility for gifts to these organisations could be removed. [More…]
Lest it be imagined that my protest has the effect of totally disassociating myself from the League of Rights, I would say that this is a matter of small concern to me, apart from my categoric denial that I am a member of the League of Rights or that I hold brief for its purpose. [More…]
1) That paragraph ( 12) of the resolution of appointment of the Joint Committee on Pecuniary Interests of Members of the Parliament be omitted and that the following paragraph be substituted: ‘(12) That the Committee report within the shortest reasonable period, not later than 29 May 1975, and that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. ‘ [More…]
Last week in this House I spoke of the protest organised by doctors in East Bentleigh who arranged a private meeting for which a person required an invitation to attend. [More…]
The doctors who have organised the protest have lodged appeals with the local government about the construction of the centre. [More…]
At the public meeting called to support this centre it was agreed- not unanimously because some of the protesting doctors were present- that this was widening the choice. [More…]
I think it might be to the benefit of the public if some of the protesting doctors and some of the Liberal members who were invited to the doctors’ meeting considered why the community needs a community health centre. [More…]
I also have to protest at the propositions floated at the recent Australian Wool Industry Conference where the Minister’s representative indicated that the Minister would not choose people who were beyond 65 years of age. [More…]
For a paraphernalia of this description to be created and to be passed through this Parliament without complaint would mean that the Parliament of the country had lost its capacity to protest. [More…]
In the early days the States protested greatly but that protest has now been muted. [More…]
On behalf of the residents of the electorate of Griffith which, at this moment of speaking still exists, despite the instructions of the Minister for Services and Property that it be totally eliminated, and on behalf of the people of Queensland who spoke so loudly on 7 December last year when some 25 Australian Labor Party State members lost their seats in the State Parliament, I protest most loudly at the fact that the Australian Parliament is not sitting for a reasonable period at a time when this nation is in one big mess. [More…]
I will not call it a protest. [More…]
We do not want the word ‘protest ‘. [More…]
So really my purpose in taking part in this debate is to record a strong protest at the way in which we have been treated. [More…]

As a Queenslander I want once again to register the protest of the people of my State at the manner in which the Bill will affect them. [More…]

-Last week I made it very clear publicly that I would not attend a protest meeting organised by the Country Party- a meeting deliberately staged to divide the cattle industry in Queensland. [More…]

[More…]
Not once was a protest made by them. [More…]

Apparently an industry- its employees or its shareholdersprepared to stand up and protest about a Government program with which it disagrees is somehow engaged in a sinister plot to pervert the democratic process. [More…]
It is all very well for the Government to protest that its intentions are honourable and that it does not have designs on the insurance industry or the private sector, but I think we would be well advised to assess the Government’s intentions not in the light of what the Minister says but in the light of what the Party’s official platform says. [More…]

This outrageous proposal led to mass protest meetings in Sydney in 1853, at which the whole idea was ridiculed into oblivion by that brilliant native-born Australian, Daniel Deniehy, in a speech which has become famous in the annals of Australian humour, invective and sarcasm. [More…]
