[More…]
The second point is that Australia is a live and vital country with a tremendous economy, and it is completely unreal to suggest that because some people want to exercise their right to protest - within the law if you like - that right should take precedence of the management and conduct of the affairs of the nation.

Because of the serious economic harm that could come to Australia from the threatened national strike next week and because of the widespread difficulties and loss of wages it would cause, will the Leader of the Government in the Senate suggest to the Prime Minister that the Australian Broadcasting Commission and commercial radio and television operators be asked to make time available to the Prime Minister, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Whitlam, and the Leader of the Australian Democratic Labor Party, Senator Gair, to make an appeal to all employees to resist the call for strike action, which is intended to be a protest against the Commonwealth Budget, as such action would not only harm Australians generally but would also delay the economic good effects that most reliable commentators expect to flow from the Commonwealth Budget? [More…]

[More…]
In opposing the Budget the Opposition has taken the unprecedented step of taking industrial action as a political protest.. Honourable senators opposite have called it a ‘rally’, but really it was a strike. [More…]
Despite much publicity the Budget protest cum strike - call it what you like - as a demonstration was a damp squib and fell far short of the promoters expectations. [More…]
Possibly, but it was a good form of protest against the Budget. [More…]
That is why the ACTU organised a protest at the reduction in workers’ standards brought about by this Budget. [More…]
Today Senator Cavanagh referred first to the strike that was called by Mr Hawke last Tuesday and then he moderated his tone by referring to it as a protest meeting. [More…]
So Mr Hawke gradually had to moderate and come down to saying that there would be a protest meeting. [More…]
A strike is an entirely different thing from a protest meeting. [More…]
Whatever the Opposition may say regarding Mr Hawke’s call for a strike or protest recently, he did not receive good support from the Australian people. [More…]
The small numbers who went out in protest showed clearly that people were not prepared to accept this blatant attempt by the leader of the Australian Council of Trade Unions to oppose parliamentary democracy, and this was basically what Mr Hawke was doing. [More…]
He was calling for strikes and then for protests on the very day on which the Leader of the Opposition was to reply to the Budget. [More…]
Even if I am wrong in that statement I defy anybody to give me figures showing a comparison of the cost of man-hours lost in industry during the protest against this Budget held last week with the cost to the rural industries of increased shipping freights. [More…]

Federal and State members of parliament have received letters of protest from the Wine and Brandy Producers Association. [More…]
They cannot go to the Arbitration Commission and they cannot protest. [More…]

1 took part in a protest demonstration in Adelaide on behalf of the rural community which Senator Webster represents in this chamber. [More…]
I ask him: Does he think that the Government is enhancing Australia’s prestige by stopping one person from coming here, irrespective of whether this person wants to speak at a meeting which is being held to protest against the declared policy of the Government and which has the support, one may say from the votes cast in the last general election, of practically half the population of Australia. [More…]
Not only the pensioners of this country are protesting about the Government’s actions and its niggardly treatment of them. [More…]

[More…]
However, on every occasion on which Dr Cairns has spoken in support of a protest against the war in Vietnam he has counselled peace. [More…]
That is borne out by the gallup polls that have been conducted and by the demonstrations that people have held in protest against our involvement. [More…]
It is truly incomprehensible that the forwarding companies have been able to increase their total charges by 474 per cent over 11 years without a voice raised seriously in protest whereas ANL, after reducing its freights by about 50 per cent over the same period, is being pilloried for increasing its freights by 12i per cent. [More…]
I protest here that that should be the case. [More…]
Whereas the workers have the ability to wirthdraw their services and to demand some justice, the farmers are not in that situation although, by a very substantial protest march through the streets of Melbourne, they did endeavour to put their case. [More…]

[More…]
1 suggest that if one extends in graph form the total annual payments of age and invalid pensions during the 1960s- that is, from 1960 until 1970- one will see that the year of the greatest noise in protest at the meanness of the Government happens to coincide on the graph with the year of the highest increase. [More…]
My protest was only noted and I had to shift to quite a good offce at the AMP site. [More…]
We demonstrate and protest because we are the Opposition. [More…]

I rise on this matter not on the basis of a certain Government proposal having been proposed and naturally opposition coming forth from this side of the chamber, but to launch my protest as Senator Cavanagh and Senator Georges have done about the right of the back benchers in this place. [More…]
The whole purport of the letter is to protest against any destruction of the present system. [More…]
That the initial quota of 300 rams will be sufficient to make any future protest worthless. [More…]

At a time when the industry has reached such a critical state, when the price of wool is lower than it has been at any time in the last 25 years, when costs and prices are at a record level, when the employment situation in rural areas is in a severe position and after a series of protest meetings have been held throughout many rural areas in Australia, particularly in New South Wales, after the farmers have marched in Adelaide and in Melbourne, and in the dying hours of this session of the Parliament and, perhaps more importantly from the Government’s point of view just prior to a Senate election being held, the Government has decided to introduce legislation to establish the Australian Wool Commission, which will consist of a chairman, 2 members representing the wool growers, 1 member representing the Commonwealth Government and 3 other members, all of whom shall be appointed by the Minister. [More…]
It is amazing to think that the Government should carry on in the same way until prices are such that even the farmers protest. [More…]
However few their numbers may have been here in Canberra, in Melbourne the farmers marched in protest in very large numbers. [More…]
It, as the Minister stated, recent amendments to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act have removed reasons for opposition to the Act and for refusal to pay penalties, does his reply suggest that there could have been a legitimate reason for protest before the Act was amended and that therefore no attempt will be made to collect the fines, in excess of $30,000, owing for penalties under the legislation before it was amended? [More…]
Will he arrange for an officer of his Department to be in attendance with me on Sunday night next at Stanwell Park, when a massive protest meeting against the proposal will be held? [More…]
1 take- this opportunity to register my protest and I express ‘ the’ hope that the Minister will ‘have another look at this matter. ‘ [More…]
It is quite clear from the answers given by the Minister today that it is determined purely on a racial basis.In my view it is entirely immoral in every respect and 1 want to voice my protest not only in relation to the specific case 1 have mentioned but also in relation to all persons who find themselves in a similar position. [More…]
I want to protest against this and I hope the Government’s adamant attitude will be tempered by some humanity when applications of the type 1 have mentioned here are before the Department. [More…]

[More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs: Has the Government received any protests against the entry into Australia of sporting teams, athletes and ballet or circus performers from Communist countries where one party rule exists and there is widespread denial of human rights, the latest example being in the denial of rights to Jews? [More…]
Could it be that Australian protesters who are now so vocal protest only when a country of which they disapporive is involved and that their indignation is selective? [More…]
The honourable senator has brought to notice in his question a very pertinent aspect of this matter, because complete freedom has been preserved for sporting teams and performing companies to visit this continent from Communist countries without protest. [More…]

Whether Charles Martin is a victim of his conscientious beliefs, he is a victim of the fact that he comes from a Stale which is not renowned for its protests. [More…]
Everyone who believes in the right of the individual !o follow his own conscience and every Christian in South Australia has a responsibility to protest, in a similar fashion to the protests over the gaoling of John Zarb and Brian Ross, to ensure that Charles Martin does not rot in gaol until Christmas. [More…]

As I said last night-4 will not walk away from anything I have said - I do not think that anybody has a right to be a nuisance or to deface property, but the reason why there are protesters today is the legislation that the Government is a party to. [More…]

I believe, in the first place, that the reason why the youth of this country are disillusioned and are protesting lies in our political system. [More…]
After all, protest of this nature or magnitude is relatively new and the measures taken against the protesters are relatively new. [More…]
Many of these young people do not want to go into the streets and protest but they have been forced to do so because they are discontented with and frustrated by the fact that such a state of affairs exists. [More…]
I suppose the most noticeable are the anti-war protesters, who, basically, are against war because they understand the stupidity and the futility of war. [More…]
The anti-war protesters and the anti-conscription protesters are those groups of youths which have woken up to many of the things about which I have spoken. [More…]
They know that, if they continue to protest and if they continue to devote their energies towards the betterment of society and towards the achievement of a better world, they will overcome. [More…]

[More…]
It reads: lt is necessary to protest yet again at the apparent inability of the Department of Civil Aviation to do its forward planning effectively. [More…]
Has the Australian’ Embassy in Sweden received numerous letters of protest regarding the wholesale slaughter of kangaroos in Australia; if so, what was the Australian Ambassador’s response to these protests? [More…]

Every time people start to express dissent in numbers, every time thousands of citizens want to go through the streets to protest, that is an action which starts to shake the executive government in its control of affairs. [More…]
Whatever form the dissent may take, the fact is that people will want to protest against injustice and the authorities will want to stop them. [More…]
Unless there are laws to allow the people to exercise their right of protest the executive government will use every means available to it to see that they do not protest, that they do not express dissent and that they do not assemble peaceably or otherwise. [More…]
The Government has written into this Bill a charter under which it may easily ensure suppression of the right to dissent, to assemble and to express protest. [More…]
Along with other returned soldiers, some Catholics, some Protestants and others with no religion, I was invited to march in the procession, and we decided, whether or not the city council granted permission, that we would march in protest against a vicious secretarian local government by-law which would have victimised a large number of people and forever destroyed the St Patrick’s Day procession. [More…]
For example, I suggest that after the words ‘having regard to all the circumstances of the obstruction or interference, including its place, time, duration and nature’, words something like these could be inserted: ‘and including a proper consideration of the right and enjoyment of persons to peaceful assembly and peaceful protest, the public communication of ideas and social comment, and a proper balancing of the interests they represent.’ [More…]
There is no doubt that this definition provision is intended to extend further and further and to cramp and restrict people more and more so that the citizen who wants to protest has to try to find some way in the interstices of the maze of law which has been created. [More…]
I do not know why the Minister refuses to accept the proposition that if we are going to have this definition there ought to be a balance in the Bill which would provide that a person can lawfully do certain things, that he can protest, that he can dissent and so on, if his behaviour taken as a whole is not unreasonable. [More…]
Should it not state how I and my 2 companions can lawfully protest? [More…]
It was a peaceful protest. [More…]
Senator Wheeldon is attempting to drag a red herring across the trail to conceal the fact that, while beginning by saying that he deplores what happened in the invasion of my office, he then went on to make statements - he has made them earlier - which indicate that he has no objection, that on the contrary he regards the invasion of the office of a parliamentarian and the intimidation of his secretary as perfectly acceptable forms of protest and dissent.

I think it will be found in all countries that people who want to protest against the actions of a particular country will seek to do so at the official residence of that country. [More…]
It is only natural that those people who want to protest against the actions of a country will go to its embassy or consulate. [More…]
According to my own observations of protests these protesters generally do not do anything personal against the representatives; it is against their country. [More…]
The reason why demonstrators go to these official residences is that it is the address of the country against which they wish to protest. [More…]

ls it wrong that trade unions should join with the other groups in the community, the churches - not all the churches but a number of them - to protest against something which is against their social conscience and which is important enough for them to say to their members: ‘We ask you to stop work, to lose wages and to show how much you disapprove of this evil war, this genocide being committed against the Vietnamese people’. [More…]
It is said that the trade unions ask their members to protest in various ways against the Springbok tour here. [More…]

The punch line came when Senator Brown told us the interesting fact that the then Attorney-General, Mr Menzies, before whom all the Liberals genuflect, resigned, to quote the words of the ‘Sydney Morning Herald’, ‘as a most emphatic means of registering his protest’. [More…]
His protest was against the dropping of the programme. [More…]
Senator Willesee protested in horror the other evening at the mere suggestion of a tribunal determining social service benefits. [More…]
The sincerity of Senator Willesee’s protestations can be judged by the statement in the Canberra Times’ of today’s date that the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Whitlam, wrote to the Prime Minister on Monday suggesting that an independent commission should inquire into parliamentary salaries. [More…]
So the Australian Labor Party has not very much to protest about. [More…]
I suggest that it is a legitimate inference from the conduct of this Government in relation to Vietnam that it always had in mind to send more troops to Vietnam than it in fact sent and the only thing that prevented it from deploying an even greater force in Vietnam was the great protest movement which built up in this country. [More…]
But it is noticeable that today’s protest columns, caricatures and cartoons depict the protests of mothers saying: Please leave our boys in Vietnam. [More…]
Australians generally are willing to put up with the carnage on the roads in Australia, which is of their own making, but they protest very strongly when lives are lost in another country. [More…]

Today I protested in the Senate about the lack of replies given by the Minister for Works (Senator Wright) who in the chamber represents the Minister for Labour and National Service (Mr Lynch). [More…]
How much stronger could one protest against a reply that has never been received? [More…]

If not, is the Minister able to say why the Australian Labor Partyraised protests against similar tests carried outby the French? [More…]
Will the Australian Government lodge a strong protest with the South African Govern ment over the 5 year gaol sentence imposed on the Anglican Dean of Johannesburg, which has shocked world opinion. [More…]

I want to add my protest at the way in which the AttorneyGeneral (Senator Greenwood) has treated the complaint made by Senator Poyser. [More…]
When a reasonable case is presented to him he brushes it aside in a cavalier way, makes alt sorts of offthecuff statements and then wonders why members of the Australian Labor Party protest. [More…]
The first matter about which 1 protest is the sheer arrogance of the Attorney-General in coming into this place and asking what is Labor’s policy, although he has with him a copy of our policy. [More…]
I add my protest merely because of 3 important cases which, in my view, are matters of principle and which were referred to by Senator Cavanagh. [More…]

The District asked its Federal Executive to protest to Senator Greenwood ‘on his attempt to intimidate AJA members in the performance of their journalistic duties’. [More…]
Obviously the Federal Executive of the Australian Journalists Association would have been aware of the protest from the Victorian body, and I think it ought to have been aware that there was not much prospect of success for an appeal by me to that body for redress against the ‘Age’. [More…]
Is this the way our police force should act in respect of these persons who normally are law abiding citizens but who, as a political protest, have broken one particular law because they are opposed to it? [More…]

[More…]
Why have there not been protests about it? [More…]
There is a good deal of justification for holding that point of view, because these people have made their protests on a number of occasions in the past in relation to other matters and they have received a pretty scant hearing. [More…]
They believe - I fully accept that this is their opinion - that once a regulation is promulgated and comes into operation that is the end of the matter and any protest they make will be futile and completely unproductive. [More…]
So we protest about that, as we have done so consistently in the past and will continue to do in the future I suggest. [More…]
Has the Australian Government submitted a strong protest to the South African Government at this condition imposed on her for her entry into that country? [More…]
I do not believe that those of us on this side of the chamber who feel strongly about the matter should willingly, and without some protest, accept a position that in our defence forces people may engage in treason and that they may engage in traitorous conduct in the face of the enemy and, in those circumstances, imperil the lives or worse of their colleagues, and do so knowing that they do not face the death penalty in the face of the enemy but that they will suffer life imprisonment. [More…]

[More…]
Is it correct that the Premier of Western Australia said that he would protest to the Prime Minister about and seek the retraction of statements which have been attributed to the Attorney-General? [More…]

We have accepted $15 a day and I have not heard one word of protest from anybody, including members of my own Party. [More…]
I have seen the statement attributed to Dr Cairns in which he called for people to go into the streets to protest. [More…]
Not only does he call for public support for North Vietnam in the face of activity which is clearly aggression by North Vietnam, but he also asks people in those circumstances to return to the streets in protest. [More…]
He may be in the position of having to do it when he receives a communication of protest from the Premier of Western Australia about the performances of Senator Greenwood while he was in that State. [More…]
When I asked why he was not granted naturalisation I was told that it was because he had carried a banner of protest outside the Spanish Embassy. [More…]

Whilst supporting this legislation v/e add our protest against the attitude of the Government to the dependants - that is, the wife and children - of persons in receipt of the general rate pension and the TPI rate pension. [More…]
By way of the amendment that I have moved the Opposition now protests most strongly against the fact that, related to the average wage, a comparison between pension rates today and pension rates 10 years ago shows that they continue to decline. [More…]
To add to our protest, we ask the Senate to carry this amendment. [More…]
What steps have been taken by the Commonwealth Government to protest at the damage caused to property at universities, such property having been paid for by the taxpayers of this country? [More…]
1 think something should be said about my use of clause 2 for the purpose of ventilating a protest at the Minister’s action in relation to this question. [More…]
ls it a fact that the only so-called protest group which is specifically recommended by name to Victorian schoolchildren in ‘The Little Red Schoolbook’ is a body called the Radical Action Movement of 57 Palmerston Street, Carlton, Victoria? [More…]

For years, throughout the length and breadth of Queensland, people in the country areas have been raising their voices in full blooded protest against these iniquitous freight concessions that are granted to southern businesses by the Queensland Government. [More…]
As 1 said, I appeal to the Country Party senators to stand in their places and to add their protest against this iniquitious strangling of Country Party areas. [More…]
I thought that the DLP would have entered a protest. [More…]
He has attempted to commit a public mischief and, in the words of those who publish the protest literature, he must pay the normal legal penalty. [More…]
It may well be that he had decided not to protest against the National Service Act but to protest against the rule of law. [More…]
Because it investigated his premises looking for something which had been stolen the rest of them had an 8 hour protest strike. [More…]
More than 40 Far North bookmakers have sent off a petition to appropriate authorities as a protest against a Betting and Gaming Act amendment which comes into operation in Queensland this year. [More…]
As recently as 29th March an official protest note was delivered to the French Embassy in Canberra and a public statement was issued ‘by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. [More…]
What is the Government doing to protest against this latest outrage against humanity [More…]
Will the Government go further and make an emphatic protest in the United Nations and elsewhere at this preparation for war. [More…]
Can the Minister tell the Senate whether a protest has been lodged by any government to the United Nations with regard to the racially discriminatory actions of .the Ugandan Government in expelling both national and non-national Asians from that country? [More…]
I should think that if one reflects on those matters to which my colleague Senator Wright just recently referred - the many instances in which there has been defacement and destruction of property and assault to individuals without apparent protest from the Australian Labor Party or the ACTU - one appreci ates that there has been a tolerance within the Australian Labor Party to these matters, because both the Labor Party and the trade union movement are unable to do anything about them. [More…]
But what is so alarming is that although the staff of the ABC, over the past week or so have been critical of Sir Alan Hulme for saying far less than Mr Whitlam said, there was not one protest from the staff of the ABC against the statements which were made by Mr Whitlam. [More…]
Will the Government protest to the Greek Government? [More…]
Then there was the protest by some members of the public, and some members of the Press too, against the action taken by the police to protect people and property, and to give the sick people in the Holy Spirit Hospital what they were entitled to - rest and quite - during their period of illness. [More…]
If it was the wife of an honourable senator who was affected, that honourable senator would be the first to raise his voice in protest. [More…]
Arising from what was said in the Press of those countries and by the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia a formal protest was handed by the Yugoslav Ambassador to Australia to the Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr N. H. Bowen). [More…]
That protest, called an aide memoire, is now in the hands of the Commonwealth Police and the contents of that document are being investigated. [More…]
It is entirely appropriate that when allegations and assertions of a serious character which are made by a foreign government are contained in a formal protest document, the government receiving that document should subject it to examination. [More…]
The Yugoslave Ambassador was speaking at a Press conference after delivering a formal protest note to the Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr Bowen. [More…]
They have the full right of lawful protest in this country. [More…]
They have the full right in Double Bay to protest lawfully against the Yugoslav consulate and to express their views in this way. [More…]
Firstly, I refer to the emotional issues which involve justice to Aborigines and the right of Aborigines to protest effectively by using the area in front of Parliament House. [More…]
On this issue, let me just say that on Australia Day, 26th January, the Aborigines erected a number of tents on the lawns in front of Parliament House for the purpose of protesting against deprivation of Aboriginal land rights. [More…]
They established an embassy in that area in order to make known that protest. [More…]
I will say that the tents were erected on behalf of the Aborigines who were protesting. [More…]
The fact is that tents were erected for the purposes of demonstration and protest. [More…]
It has always been accepted that Australians observe the right to protest against some injustice done to a section of the community. [More…]
The Aboriginal embassy provided a means by which Aborigines could ventilate their protest. [More…]
Their protest was noted. [More…]
If the Aboriginal embassy is erected again, or if there is any similar protest on the lawns in front of Parliament House, any politician who goes across the road to support the protesters - and politicians have thought that it is their duty to do so - will be in breach of this Ordinance. [More…]
I have a copy of that telegram which was sent on 26th January 1972, the day on which the protest group of Aborigines set up their embassy outside Parliament House. [More…]
Land rights was one of the reasons why the Aboriginal people set up their embassy to protest. [More…]
It is possible to look briefly only at each of the problems about which the Aboriginal people protested. [More…]
Another area of protest concerns the health of Aborigines throughout Australia, particularly the health of Aboriginal children. [More…]
This is another matter about which the Aboriginal embassy protested. [More…]
This Government repaid them by bringing in 200 police at a time to chase them off the lawns in front of Parliament House and to stop their public protest because it was embarrassing to the Government. [More…]
Who will protest at this? [More…]
Our friends who were across the road when they were allowed to protest told us about this too. [More…]
I believe that 1 have a right to make this protest. [More…]
They said, however, they did want to set up there a form of protest that would be visible to the whole of Australia so that they could get their story over. [More…]
To me it seemed to be an act of protest on the part of a few people who could have been allowed to remain there until such time as they had tired of the protest. [More…]
No-one made a formal protest. [More…]
I want Senator Bonner to state clearly to me just how and when I have been associated actively with the Aboriginal protest. [More…]
I have not been associated directly with this particular protest. [More…]
I did not at any time take part in any activity or protest on behalf of the Aborigines here in Canberra or in Brisbane. [More…]
I have taken an active part in other protests and demonstrations. [More…]
In fact, I have taken part in protests and demonstrations in support of racial tolerance. [More…]
There was a protest by a Minister sitting on the front bench - I think it was Senator Cotton. [More…]
It should be disallowed if only to enable the group of Aborigines who sought to protest in the way that they did to reerect their tents in front of this place so that there may be a constant reminder to us that something needs to be done in greater depth and that we need a better understanding than Senator Little brought to this problem. [More…]
Must protest against your acceptance these people and emphasise that groups who have demonstrated Brisbane and recently Canberra claiming to represent Queensland Torres Strait Islands do nol in fact represent Queensland Torres Strait Islands who have their own elected group as advisory council of which I am chairman. [More…]
Therefore to those who have suggested that in this form of protest they should be accorded a solicitude and a tolerance which is denied to other sections of the community who similarly want to protest on issues which are relevant to their interests in life, I say that once they do that they are putting the Aborigines in a position different from that of the rest of the community; they are contradicting the whole of their thesis on racial integration, they are contradicting the whole of their thesis on toleration and the whole of their thesis on the ultimate integration of the Aboriginal people with the white culture. [More…]
Therefore I say in these last few minutes that those who have supported the Aborigines in this programme and in this type of protest should have second thoughts about it, to see if by doing that they have not in fact done a great deal of harm to the campaign of these people and to the campaign of the Australian community for the ultimate total absorption of our indigenous people in our culture without any distinctions or differences. [More…]
The honourable senator said that members of the Labor Party who took an active interest in this debate were of the opinion that the Aborigines had a just cause and that they had protested more vehemently for that cause than they would have for other causes. [More…]
Surely the cause cannot be mentioned in that way - by suggesting that the Labor Party should protest if the Nazi Party or a Croatian party wanted to demonstrate on the lawns in front of Parliament House. [More…]
I would have thought that there would have been a statement by the Government on its intention to make adequate provision for people to protest, other than the half hour demonstrations that are held from time to time, without it being necessary to do what the Aborigines did on this occasion. [More…]
An alarming state of affairs is portrayed by an article in today’s ‘Australian’ headed ‘Defiant students on march’, together with a photograph showing a heap of ties, belts and gloves being burnt by students said to be as a protest. [More…]
It is very inconsistent with the protests against violence that we have heard in the Senate in recent days. [More…]
The whole history of pensions in Australia has been one of chronic dissatisfaction, of periodic adjustments and always frustration, disappointment and protest. [More…]
This was sufficient to raise a protest from visitors who were there that day. [More…]
I have noticed what has been reported in the Press as a protest by the Yugoslav Government to the United States Government. [More…]
Insofar as the description of it by Senator Mulvihill is a protest about inflammatory editorials in newspapers, I think we must recognise that in this country, providing the incitement involved in the newspapers does not offend against the law, there is an essential freedom of speech which we know does not exist in Yugoslavia. [More…]
Has there been drafted a reply to the protest note from the Yugoslav Government concerning antiYugoslav terrorist activities in Australia? [More…]
In the period when Parliament was not sitting there was a Press report, completely without foundation, that I was supposed to have delayed the sending of a protest note. [More…]
At the time that Press report appeared I had not even seen the protest note. [More…]
I take the matter no further than voicing my protest. [More…]
1 couple that appeal with an appeal for action on behalf of the Polish national who has experienced this undue delay in the settlement of his claim and about whom, for some reason, the Government feels it is infra dig to make any strong protest to the West German Goverment. [More…]
In view of the interest and concern of our Pacific Islands neighbours about the Australian Government’s protest to France about its intention of testing further nuclear devices in the Pacific next year, I ask: Has the Government considered the imposition of economic sanctions to prevent these nuclear tests from going ahead, such as warning that it will scrap its plans to purchase Mirage F1 fighters from France? [More…]
If the Government will not consider some action as a form of protest, how can the Australian public and Australia’s neighbours be expected to believe that the Government is trying to persuade the French to stop the tests? [More…]
This made it abundantly clear that Australia had used the normal procedures to register its protest. [More…]
In view of the current protests against the French nuclear tests, is the Minister aware that the Chinese share with the French a policy of persisting with nuclear testing? [More…]
If there is no evidence of health dangers, what are the grounds for protest? [More…]
Finally, will any protests directed against nuclear testing be directed to both nations using nuclear test explosions? [More…]
If there is any truth in the report will he take suitable action to protest to those who were responsible? [More…]
I register my strong protest at your treatment of representations made by me on behalf of countless Australians who are deeply concerned at your Government’s policy of permissiveness particularly in regard to censorship. [More…]
Finally, I ask: Is the Government reluctant to impose worthwhile sanctions on French Government as a protest against the declared intention of that Government to conduct further nuclear testing in the Pacific region, because of the fear of French reaction which the Israeli Government experienced in 1967? [More…]
For the benefit of the Senate, can the Attorney-General summarise the contents of the note given to the Yugoslav Government in reply to its protest about Australian authorities doing nothing to prevent Yugoslav terrorists training in this country? [More…]
A long time ago the Gurindjis went on strike and established a settlement in the Wattie Creek area as their form of protest against industrial conditions, health conditions, and the refusal of this Government to recognise the value of their case for land rights. [More…]
When members of the Opposition protest about this and when people talk about it, Senator Little says that we are making political capital out of it because we want to do something for them. [More…]
Referring to the statement today by the responsible New Zealand Minister concerning a further protest by New Zealand, 1 ask: Are any new moves proposed by Australia, New Zealand or other Pacific countries to initiate efforts to prevent such tests going on? [More…]
Has a reply been drafted to a protest note received from the Yugoslav Government concerning anti- Yugoslav terrorist activities in Australia. [More…]
Is the Government reluctant to impose effectiveness sanctions against the French Government as a protest against that Government’s declared intention to conduct further nuclear tests in the Pacific Ocean region because of the fear of an adverse French reaction, similar to that experienced by the Government of Israel in 1967. [More…]
I do not want to take the time of the Senate by prolonging this debate but I also want to raise my protest. [More…]
This was a move that could have led to the destruction of the 2-airline policy but there was no ripple of protest from the Government. [More…]
He made the point also that at the time of the proposed takeover by Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd of Ansett Transport Industries Ltd there was not a ripple of protest by the Government. [More…]
Will the Attorney-General table in the Senate a summary of the Government’s note in reply to the Government of Yugoslavia’s protest that nothing had been done to prevent Yugoslav terrorists from training in Australia. [More…]
Has the Government assented to send a naval vessel into the French Pacific nuclear testing zone in protest. [More…]
If protests are in train, having regard to the Government’s dedicated commitment to open government, can the Minister explain why it was necessary to send a scientific observer in secret to Tahiti to await and observe such nuclear tests? [More…]
Oan the Minister explain why no similar protests are being mounted by this Government against the Red Chinese nuclear tests at Lop Nor - marginally closer to Australia - which tests, having regard to prevailing wind currents, are far more likely to pollute the Australian atmosphere than the French tests? [More…]
Is this failure to protest against China just another example of the snivellingly obsequious nature of the Whitlam Government’s so-called independent foreign policy- [More…]
Senator Wright referred to the failure of the then Opposition to protest about Chinese nuclear tests. [More…]
Later, during a debate on the motion to adjourn the Senate, the then Minister had the grace to recite into the Senate record the various protests which had been made by myself, Mr Whitlam, then the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives, and I think by some others. [More…]
He conceded - perhaps these are my words and not his - that he was quite wrong and that the most definite and heavy protests had been made by members of the Austraiian Labor Party against the nuclear tests in China. [More…]
The only voices raised in protest have been those of the Torres Strait islanders, the Premier of Queensland, Mr J. Bjelke-Peterson, and the Church of England. [More…]
There was not one word of protest to the People’s Republic of China about the condition in which he came out of that country. [More…]
1 wonder how many protesters would have been marching up and down the streets of their capital cities. [More…]
I can just imagine the noise of protest which would resound throughout Australia about the discrimination and the lack of justice in such a proposal. [More…]
If the answer is yes, I ask why the Prime Minister has not released to the Parliament and the public the contents of his protest to the President of the United States of America in connection with the bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong by the United States Air Force. [More…]
Will he now release the contents of his protest? [More…]
At the time the protest against the bombing of North Vietnam was delivered to the United States, in order to be even-handed why was not an emphatic protest against the invasion of South Vietnam by, as reported, 200,000 well equipped troops, which in fact triggered off the bombing referred to and protested against, delivered to the Hanoi Government instead of advancing a proposal to recognise that Government and to receive some of its trade union representatives in this country? [More…]
I will not enter into the argumentative aspects of what was put by the honourable senator in relation to the protest by Australia. [More…]
His question could easily have been put to the other countries and persons around the world who were making similar protests, in various degrees, at the same time as the Australian Government made its protest to the United States Government over the bombing of Hanoi. [More…]
On one occasion Senator Carrick asked Senator Wright, whether the Australian Labor Party ever protested about mainland China entering the nuclear field. [More…]
Senator Wright in his nlmcal manner, blasted the Australian Labor Party for never making a protest. [More…]
1 made a protest to the then Minister for Social Services, Mr Wentworth. [More…]
Obviously this was of concern to the people in the area who have held protest meetings and so on. [More…]
Has there been any protest from Opposition members to the inclusion of Mr Kibel, referred to by Senator Sim as a Manchester Jew, as a member of the trade delegation of prominent leaders of commerce and industry which will accompany Dr Cairns when he visits China in May of this year? [More…]
I bow to your ruling, Mr Deputy President, and add my protest to all others from honourable senators on this side of the Senate in regard to the tactics that have been used by the members of the Australian Democratic Labor Party in the Senate tonight. [More…]
I protest most vehemently against the tactics, the snide implications of this business, and the reprehensible reasons for which it is being done. [More…]
Marie had been named as a terrorist in the Yugoslav Government protest presented to the Australian Government on 16th August 1972. [More…]
That the committee have leave to report from lime to time and that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]

What is the mild protest? [More…]
Member’s of the honourable senator’s Party and their colleagues in the Country Party put through this Parliament, over our protests for a number of years, a considerable number of measures which allowed entry to premises without such search warrants. [More…]
I remember the protests that we made against various rural Bills under the provisions of which homes or properties could be entered and searched without any kind of search warrant being produced. [More…]
It was only after a great deal of protest that the former Government desisted from attempts to enact further such measures, but it still did nothing about the fact that there were some half dozen Acts of Parliament which were drawn to its attention and in which there were these departures from what, we would accept, ought to be the ordinary principle. [More…]
The protest made at this stage is that, despite the disparity in price, it would have been of benefit to the Aborigines in that area if brick houses had been specified. [More…]
Immediately he did so, Senator Wheeldon made a protest. [More…]
Senator Withers received the call and closed the debate despite the protests. [More…]
It is understood that the Prime Minister formally protested to the Yugoslav Government following the announcement from Yugoslavia of the execution of the 3 Australians. [More…]
As all relative information was apparently unknown to the Prime Minister at the time of his protest, will the Minister detail what further action has been taken by the Prime Minister regarding this matter? [More…]
Senator Guilfoyle is right: The Prime Minister made an immediate protest and, as everybody knows, he did not have the full information at that time. [More…]
I ask the Special Minister of State, in his capacity as Minister assisting the Minister for Foreign Affairs: Has any formal reply been received from the Yugoslav Government in response to the protest note forwarded on 13th April? [More…]
If not, is this delay far greater than the terms of the protest warrant? [More…]
No, we have not had a reply to our protest and we have not had an indication of when the reply will come. [More…]
Has any protest been made to the Yugoslav Prime Minister at this diplomatic deception? [More…]
My understanding is that in the last few weeks the Australian Government has sent to the Chinese Government its protest against China’s nuclear testing. [More…]
Earlier today he stated that the Australian Labor Government had lodged a protest with the Yugoslav Government at the execution of the 3 Australian citizens. [More…]
It is no longer unpopular to protest but it will be darned dangerous if we do not protest and if nothing is done to stop the tests. [More…]
The honourable senator asks whether some protest should be made. [More…]
The Minister assisting the Minister for Foreign Affairs may have more precise details with him, .but even in recent weeks a protest was made by Australia in. [More…]
It massacred 146 civilians, but we did not hear a word of protest from honourable senators opposite. [More…]
protest then from Dr J. F. Cairns; np protest from Mr Uren; no protest from Mr Clyde Cameron; not even a protest from Mr Whitlam, the white knight. [More…]
Nothing has been said or done by the Australian Government since the ceasefire to protest to North Vietnam. [More…]
Furthermore, are we not entitled to register a protest, having regard to the fact that more than 400 Australian men were killed in action in the Vietnam war and hundreds more were wounded and maimed in the service of this country? [More…]
The tragedy is that Australia did not protest to the French. [More…]
If in our protest to China and, indeed, to any other country that is exploding nuclear devices in the atmosphere, we can get our point over and have some influence without harming relationships, that is precisely what we will be doing. [More…]
The situation is that after the question of the executions arose, after we sent our protest note and after our Ambassador saw the authorities in Yugoslavia, they told him that they were willing to start giving some information. [More…]
To do what Senator Greenwood suggested - to protest to Hanoi, to put pressure on Hanoi or whatever term he used - would be moving away from the Government’s present position. [More…]
If so, how does it sustain that position in the light of, on the one hand, the Prime Minister’s protest to the United States Government in January of this year about the United States bombing of North Vietnam and the particularly virulent statements of condemnation made by several Ministers of the Government at that time and, on the other hand, the complete silence of the Prime Minister and those same Ministers at this time in the face of the obvious North Vietnamese aggression in that area? [More…]
At the time of the bombing, a time when we believed that peace should be brought about in the Indo-China states, the Prime Minister did protest to the President of the United States of America. [More…]
Senator Greenwood takes the line that because there is still not complete peace in the IndoChina states we should be protesting to somebody about what is happening. [More…]
Has the Government yet received a reply to the protest delivered by the Australian Prime Minister to the Yugoslav Government on 13 April? [More…]
In view of the delay of almost 4 weeks, why was the protest not in writing and what is the Government doing or proposing to do about what appears to be a contemptuous reception of the protest? [More…]
Even when they were executed the protest was not to try to find out whether these men were innocent but a protest because the Government was irritated at being told late. [More…]
Has the Australian Government made any protest to the Chinese Government about that country’s nuclear atmospheric testing? [More…]
If so, was the protest a verbal or written protest? [More…]
Yes, we did make a protest shortly after we set up an embassy in China. [More…]
As to the second part of the honourable senator’s question, that is, whether the protest was made verbally or in writing - I understand that this matter was raised in the media - the protest took the form of a letter from the Foreign Minister to the Chinese Foreign Minister, Mr Chi Peng-fei. [More…]
However, a formal protest has since been made about the executions and an assurance has been sought that Australian Government officials will be granted consular access to any other Australian citizens being held in Yugoslavia. [More…]
To my knowledge the Democratic Labor Party has not made any protest. [More…]
A Royal Australian Navy ship will not be deployed until all other means of protest have been exhausted. [More…]
Does the Government propose to lodge any protest at this gross violation of political liberty and the inhumane treatment of these people by a fellow member of the Commonwealth? [More…]
To my knowledge the Government has not examined whether lodging a protest would be the correct thing to do in the prevailing circumstances. [More…]
We sent a protest note about this incident, telling them of our dissatisfaction. [More…]
For that reason, I voice my protest at the manner in which the amendment was moved. [More…]
We have received an answer to the protest note and we have carried on negotiations since then. [More…]

It has made its position clear by a special protest to the People’s Republic of China. [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 raise the matter also because my colleague, Senator Marriott, recently elicited the answer that the fees that are being paid to these gentry who with an entourage of staff are engaging themselves in Melbourne or elsewhere, not having access to the offices in Tasmania, are piling up expenditure that is not relatively insignificant but so stupid that we are bound to protest. [More…]
Then we got the protests. [More…]
Whether they are justified I do not know, but I am not one who accepts the protest. [More…]
basis of the protests has changed. [More…]
1 think that as members of a States House we ought to register our protest about these measures. [More…]
What steps can the Government take to protest against this breach of ethics by France in defiance of the International Court of Justice deliberations and world public opinion? [More…]
I do not recall your party making such a protest when the Ansett Group decided to enter the Television field, nor when they entered the Hotel/Motel field nor were there wild statements that they may take over the almost defunct Victorian Railways! [More…]
The Minister has said, with respect to when the notional rate was only 51/2 per cent: ‘I think that ATI had some reason to protest about that’. [More…]
I rise to support what my Leader (Senator Withers) has said and to register our protest at what is being done to curtail the ability of this Senate to discuss matters of great significance. [More…]
Of course, when Senator Murphy and his colleagues in the Labor Party were in Opposition we knew how they used to protest about any limitations in time which might be imposed and how they sought to exercise to the full their opportunities. [More…]
There will be an ordinance to prohibit them from camping there, but they will still be allowed to stand out there and make their protest in a proper and dignified manner like any other Australian citizen. [More…]
I am quite sure that the time will come when Aborigines will want to return here and make some protest. [More…]

As a result of the action taken, Senator DrakeBrockman and I have received a great number of telegrams of protest. [More…]
I understand that there are other signatories in the Northern Territory and if they were added the total number protesting against what has been done would be some 500 people. [More…]
I rise to protest against this harsh discriminatory idea in favour of Government employees. [More…]
A great deal has been said - Senator Jessop spoke of it - of mass meetings which were called in the area involved to protest against this acquisition. [More…]
In addition to registering the opposition of members of the Liberal Party to the elimination of concession to mining companies in regard to calls for their shares, I also want to register our protest, particularly my own protest, at the way in which the Government has introduced these whole series of major policy changes. [More…]
When was the protest of the Australian Government made to the Government of the People’s Republic of China concerning that country’s nuclear tests. [More…]
Will the Minister inform the Senate of the full text of the protest. [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…]
On 29 May Senator Withers asked me a question relating to Naval personnel who do not wish to sail in HMAS Sydney’ to take part in the protest against the French nuclear test. [More…]
What were the terms of the Australian protest to China? [More…]
Has a reply to the protest been received and, if so, what were the terms of the reply? [More…]
Is it not a fact that whatever verbal protest the Government may have made to China it is entirely different from the positive hostile action taken ‘against France? [More…]
All we do is write a letter of protest. [More…]
My protest is that anybody who today joins with others in destroying one of the safeguards that we have against terrorism and violence, who will not protect a policeman and who will not protect a member of gaol staff is not discharging the appropriate responsibility he has for the maintenance of the structure of today’s community. [More…]
At that time, 5 years ago, many of the Czech people protested. [More…]
One of the national heroes since then has been a young student named Jan Palach who, in 1969, gave up his life as a protest against the tyranny that had been imposed upon his country. [More…]
I look forward to our Government issuing a protest this week on this fifth anniversary of that attack on human rights. [More…]
If our Government were to do that, there would be less of those accusations that our Government is anxious always to protest against infringements by non-communist countries but is silent when wrong is done by communist countries. [More…]
If it is good enough for our Government to protest when people attempt to go to Yugoslavia, why is it that we do not protest at the Vietcong? [More…]
Is it a fact that three or four young men who were members of the staff resigned in protest against the lack of objectivity and political impartiality on the part of Mr Holgate? [More…]
The statement is essentially a protest that whilst the New Zealand carpet industry has no limitation other than preference tariff duties for its large and increasing export of pile carpet to Australia - currently about 23 per cent of New Zealand production and abou: 91 per cent of New Zealand exports - the Australian carpet industry is almost completely deprived of opportunity to export carpet to New Zealand. [More…]
The Government has protested to China. [More…]
It has not told us - maybe there are diplomatic reasons for this - the form or the terms of the protest. [More…]
The Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) appeared confused as to the form of the protest, and I will come to that later. [More…]
We accept the fact that the Government - maybe reluctantly; maybe more in sorrow than in anger - has protested to China. [More…]
Then the Prime Minister was asked about the form of protest made to China. [More…]
Have you had any response from the Chinese Government on your protest note on nuclear testing? [More…]
The protest to China was oral, so there would be no written response. [More…]
So the protest was oral. [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…]
This was a written protest from the Prime Minister. [More…]
A week before the Prime Minister has said that it was only an oral protest, so there would be no response. [More…]
Here we had the Foreign Minister, who presumably sent the protest, not knowing he had sent it saying it was an oral protest. [More…]
I think it also indicates that he had very little interest in the protest. [More…]
Mr Hawke of the Australian Council of Trade Unions also has boasted that the ACTU has mobilised the trade unions throughout the world to protest and to place a ban on French trade and French communications. [More…]
I suggest the answer is that they would not have received the delegation because the Australian Government had protested against French atmospheric nuclear testing. [More…]
It is very interesting to note that despite the ban on French trade there was no protest from Mr Hawke and the trade unions about the visit of the Chinese Trade Minister and the conclusion of a trade agreement with China. [More…]
In other words, we have a selective protest and a selective policy. [More…]
He made a reported statement in which he said that he was remaining in Australia for some weeks to display to the French Australia’s strong protest against the French atmospheric nuclear tests. [More…]
What logic or rationality can there be for one Ambassador to remain in Australia in protest and the other to remain in China? [More…]
We can assume only that the Government has no intention of going beyond making some mild protest to China. [More…]
All this has been done without a word of public protest or condemnation from the AttorneyGeneral. [More…]
I only rise to protest at that. [More…]
Is the Minister aware of newspaper reports of the Prime Minister’s Press conference yesterday in which the Prime Minister stated that he did not propose to protest to the Soviet authorities about their treatment of intellectuals? [More…]
Because of this information, and in view of the Prime Minister’s reply, will the Minister undertake to discuss with the Prime Minister the possibility of the Prime Minister reconsidering the whole question of whether or not he should protest to the Soviet authorities? [More…]
Or the Government might say: ‘What good would such a protest do? [More…]
I answer that attitude with the words of Solzhenitsyn which prove that a real protest might- I emphasise the word ‘might’- be successful. [More…]
If Mr Whitlam were to take our protest over this barbarous conduct to the United Nations when it meets next week, I believe he would have the blessing of all people of goodwill in this Commonwealth. [More…]
I refer the Government to the very worth while result of the Liberal Government’s protest in 1962. [More…]
That protest was savagely attacked at the time but it bore very fruitful results for several hundred elderly Jews. [More…]
I do not propose at this stage to debate these new hardships at length but I do register a strong protest on behalf of the people in Australia’s rural areas. [More…]
The deep concern of the mining industry in Western Australia at this action was manifest in a mammoth protest meeting held at Kalgoorlie on 30 August. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite protest that they are interested in seeing the galloping rate of inflation brought to a stop, but the candidate they are supporting for the Parramatta by-election has said that inflation is just a big joke. [More…]
To come back to the terms of the motion before the Senate, it states that the Senate deplores the fact that the Government has not been prepared to protest to China in the manner it has protested to France. [More…]
We must not only protest but also, if necessary, organise nations and group nations together to stop it. [More…]
I say quite unequivocally that this matter was put on the notice paper by Sentor Sim as a smokescreen for the retention of nuclear armaments throughout the world and not as a protest against the alleged double standards by the Government or anything else. [More…]
At the beginning of the French tests honourable senators on this side of the chamber who were then in Opposition requested that something positive be done in respect of banning the tests, but the Government brought out a little note of protest. [More…]
I again refer to the fact that in the days of the early French tests the then Government of this country with its feeble voice of protest made no real attempt to stop the explosion of nuclear devices within wind range of Australia. [More…]
It did not enter any protest against China because it was not playing speaks with China. [More…]
The Labor Party also made no protest when shortly afterwards the Monte Bello Islands, which are on the border of our country, were made available to Great Britain for testing atom bombs. [More…]
I did not notice at that time any of the frenzied protests which have been made about the French tests. [More…]
I believe that we in Australia should continue to protest. [More…]
But we should not adopt an attitude that we will be infinitely stronger in our protest against a middle grade nation than we will be against the major countries. [More…]
I would have expected that when Australia was so strong in its protest to France it would have been similarly strong in its protest to China. [More…]
The Government is asking for trouble while it interferes in what are the internal affairs of country after country throughout the world on the ground that it must protest against attacks upon human rights. [More…]
Its protest to the Chinese was an apologetic squeak. [More…]
Its protest to the French was a continuous and sustained roar of wounded rage. [More…]
Did any Government Minister- the Foreign Minister or the Prime Minister- go to China directly for the reason of protesting against the Chinese tests? [More…]
So the Attorney-General went to Europe to protest against the French tests. [More…]
So we have, first of all, the degree of the protest. [More…]
Secondly, we have the monolithic approach to the protest. [More…]
The protest was directed against France but not against China. [More…]
France and ignore China in protesting about nuclear testing? [More…]
It was prepared to go along with a protest against France and China but not just against France. [More…]
So off the Prime Minister went to Ottawa to try to drum up support for a protest against France but not against China. [More…]
When we the Opposition asked: ‘Why do you not protest against China’? [More…]
But here are the double standards so far: First of all, a squeak of a statement of protest in the form of a letter handed through the Charge d ‘Affaires timidly to the Chinese Foreign Minister with no follow-up. [More…]
The Australian ambassador to France said that he was remaining in Australia for some weeks to display to the French Australia’s strong protest against the French atmospheric nuclear tests. [More…]
On other occasions the Labor Party was the first to protest against interference with General Business. [More…]
I rise to protest against a Bill dealing with a constitutional alteration being shovelled through as if it were sand on a cart to be dealt with by the workmen of the Caucus. [More…]
We in this chamber tonight, one of the 2 chambers of the Australian Parliament, have an opportunity to register a protest that may ring around the world. [More…]
The mere fact that they are still both out of prison- they are not actually free men- is due to some degree to protests from the West and is one of the matters which should encourage us to make sure that our protest is lodged. [More…]
They protest and support one side (the left) whatever it does and kick always the other side, the one which nourishes them. [More…]
Protest the Repression in France [More…]
One does not have to be Mandrake to guess the names of the sponsors of this protest against French repression of the Communist Party, the Fourth International. [More…]
I appeal to honourable senators in the Government Party to join with us in registering a mighty and indignant protest- a rising crescendo of challenge- that will ring around the world and be taken straight to the heart of the United Nations. [More…]
It should appeal to the heart of any democrat that he is given the opportunity, through the safety of these plush red seats, to issue a protest and a challenge that may well result in benefit to courageous people many thousands of miles away. [More…]
Please God, this protest will ring around the Soviet Union and may spring the traps which imprison so many courageous men. [More…]
Nevertheless, the Labor Government decided to make a timid note of protest to the Chinese and then to sustain a roar of protest against the French- a roar of protest which continues. [More…]
In my earlier remarks I reminded the Senate that in fact we have not bothered to follow up very strenuously our protest to the Chinese and that we had not even sought too many details about their tests, but that we had continued not only to pursue in the World Court the case against the French but also to send a Minister to France to seek out the French Government and to attempt to talk the French Government into dropping its tests. [More…]
He admits in his own words that his protest against the French was in sterner language than his response to the Chinese atmospheric tests. [More…]
Why is it that Australia’s Ambassador to France, having returned to Australia, was allowed to say that he was going to stay in Australia for some 6 weeks or more to protest against the French nuclear tests but our Ambassador in Peking was encouraged to stay there and do nothing by way of showing resentment against the Chinese? [More…]
He said: ‘They protest when this is not dangerous, when it can be expected that one antagonist will yield and when there is no risk of condemnation from left circles (it’s of course always best to protest together with them). [More…]
And could I, please, on behalf of the Opposition and in the name of all humanity urge that the Government make a major protest to the Chinese that they cease atmospheric testing. [More…]
The second way in which we can voice our protest as to the way in which the Opposition in the other place has been treated is to require the Government in this chamber to take the Bill through all its stages in accordance with the Standing Orders. [More…]
in reply- I cannot understand the form of protest which has been taken on this occasion because of the debating mechanisms of the other place. [More…]
I wish to register a protest at the Government ‘s actions in failing to provide adequate opportunity for the public of Australia to know what is proposed to be done by the Government and to let it hear informed debate about those matters. [More…]
I await the Minister’s response to those protests that have been made. [More…]
I protest at the situation which has been created. [More…]
I rise to speak briefly and add my protest to that of my colleagues about this Bill and the proposed increase in postal charges. [More…]
Strongly protest government’s announced postal rates amendments which benefit less than 10 per cent of Australia’s newspaper and periodicals media group. [More…]
I wasn’t proposing, and despite your invitation I don’t think it’s likely that I will, to protest to the Soviet Union about these matters. [More…]
But protest had this impact within the Soviet Union only when it was backed ‘by the united, mighty voice of hundreds of prominent people, by the opinions of a whole continent. [More…]
That is not to say that we should be selective when serious abrogations of the rights of man are perpetrated in other countries, but I believe that when we do decide to raise our voices and protest we should not qualify that protest in any way by saying that it happens in other places. [More…]
In recent years there has been one other terribly important feature which justifies our taking action and making this protest. [More…]
But I believe that it is probably an even crueller fate for man to be treated in this modern scientific manner, which is one of the great protests that Sozhenitsyn makes. [More…]
I don’t think it’s likely that I will protest to the Soviet Union about these matters. [More…]
Why is not the Australian Government prepared to protest to the Soviet Union? [More…]
There has been no protest from the Australian Government and apparently no willingness to take any action to defend and to uphold the rights of courageous people who are looking for support throughout the world. [More…]
Perhaps there is a right and an obligation to protest. [More…]
If a black leader in South Africa had been detained and tortured like General Grigoryenko had been in Russia, there would have been much protest in the West. [More…]
In view of Prime Minister Whitlam ‘s statement that Australia is neutral in the terrible Middle East conflict, will the Prime Minister protest to the British Government that this action would seem to be a breach of neutrality and would seem to be supporting the Egyptians against the Israelis? [More…]
Did the Australian Government protest, that is, did it make a formal statement of dissent or disapproval, to the Soviet Government specifically concerning that Government’s refusal to allow free immigration of Jewish citizens of the Soviet Union? [More…]
I inform honourable senators of the following situation: A group of people has moved from the area which is generally recognised as the protest area to occupy the front steps of Parliament House, so impeding the free entry and egress of people who have business in this Parliament. [More…]
I do not think that Opposition members will protest very vigorously. [More…]
It was a protest about the bungling and mishandling that has gone on in Aboriginal affairs, particularly over the last six or seven months. [More…]
The Aboriginal people have a perfect right to protest whenever they want to do so and I will be the first one to support them when they want to protest. [More…]
Can the Minister say whether because of this the Prime Minister has received a letter of protest from the people concerned? [More…]
I imagine that many people would want to protest to see whether that could not be changed. [More…]
2) and to make a protest on behalf of the Opposition about the cavalier way in which the Government has treated the Senate and this Bill. [More…]
I suggest that it is a matter upon which the Opposition is legitimately entitled to register its protest. [More…]
Put into the practical terms of how it affects Australians, it is a matter of knowing whether, if one wants to register a protest, one protests to the relevant Commonwealth Minister with some responsibilities in the area or goes to the State Minister. [More…]
But for this protest tonight and a few intermittent protests in years gone by the Senate has surrendered its right to require Ministers to answer questions properly and with accuracy in accordance with their ministerial responsibility. [More…]
As the Government has now established diplomatic relations with North Vietnam, has it taken any action to protest to North Vietnam over these violations and made it clear that any new offensive will invite strong Australian reaction? [More…]
A protest was raised this year by Aborigines who wanted the island. [More…]
Did the Australian Government protest, that is, make a formal statement of dissent or disapproval of the Soviet Government, specifically concerning that Government’s refusal to allow free emigration of its Jewish citizens; if so, on what occasion, on what date, and at what diplomatic or governmental level was this done. [More…]
This place would be in a trance if it allowed such an expenditure as this to be passed without some protest. [More…]
I have already raised my voice in protest and condemnation at the outlay of public moneys to the extent of US$2m for the purchase of a so-called work of art. [More…]
I protest against this impulsive instrusion, which is so characteristic of Senator Murphy and so subversive of the stable conduct of the business of the Senate. [More…]
No matter how he may protest I can assume only that this is a mistake that is made through carelessness. [More…]
A member may add a protest or dissent to any report furnished to the Minister. ‘ [More…]
As an Aborigine I would like to protest about the formation of a National Aboriginal Consultative Committee for the following reasons: [More…]
I have had occasion in the last week or so to protest about the inundations to which this chamber has been subjected by the number of Bills and that their fundamental character demands an attention which it is not possible for the Senate to give to them. [More…]
This attempt by Canberra to arrogate to itself all power reached such an appalling stage that we had the most unusual spectacle of 6 State Premiers- the Premiers of every State in the Commonwealth of whom half were Labor premiers- going to London for the purpose of protesting against what they regarded as being unconstitutional and wrongful attempts by the Commonwealth Government to take power to itself. [More…]
Why did Mr Dunstan protest in London, why did Mr Eric Reece protest in London and why did Mr Tonkin protest in London if this Commonwealth is not arrogating to itself power which it should not have? [More…]
We have had the spectacle of Mr Eric Reece protesting at the interference by the Commonwealth in the matter of Lake Pedder. [More…]
On the reading from Hansard those were not the words which were said and therefore Senator McAuliffe ‘s protest at that stage could not have any validity because he was protesting against something that was not said. [More…]
I rise in support of Senator Little’s protest and to define my standards of the level of responsibility that the Senate requires of Ministers. [More…]
I make the most serious protest that I can because the Opposition is greatly concerned about these Bills. [More…]
Will the Government protest to North Vietnam and, if it will not protest to North Vietnam, what condition has to exist in that country before the Government will give expression to its much vaunted belief that peace should prevail in that area? [More…]
Will the Government instruct the Minister for Overseas Trade, Dr J. F. Cairns, to protest to North Vietnam over these violations during his forthcoming visit? [More…]
Has the Prime Minister received a letter of protest from the Associations. [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to reports that Mr Panov sees public protests in the West as the best hope of securing his freedom to emigrate to Israel? [More…]
Is he aware of the protest to the Kremlin by leading Western artists, including the eminent British actors Lord Olivier and Paul Scofield designed to win visas for Mr Panov and his wife to emigrate to Israel? [More…]
In view of the Minister’s general statements to the United Nations Assembly this year supporting the international agreements on human rights, will he undertake to protest to the Soviet Government specifically about its refusal to let the Panovs go to Israel? [More…]
If so, will he make public the text of his protest? [More…]
Will the Government instruct the Minister for Overseas Trade Dr Cairns, to protest to North Vietnam over these violations during his present visit to that country? [More…]
The position adopted by my Party is that under protest and only as an armistice- not because it is what we believe; we are going to make a continuing fight for educational justice- we will accept what has been proposed and will not oppose any of the amendments, but if an amendment is moved which is based on the use of the word ‘primary’ we will support it. [More…]
In the first place, I protest that an attempt should be made to rush through the Parliament in this manner a Bill of such importance. [More…]
I regret, and I protest, that it is being debated in the dying hours of this session of the Parliament. [More…]
When honourable senators protest I comply with that protest. [More…]
Has the Australian Government protested to the North Vietnamese Authorities; if not, will a protest be made [More…]
If the answer to both parts of question (4) is ‘no’, what conditions will have to exist in South Vietnam before the Australian Government will protest to the North Vietnamese Government. [More…]
and (5) The Australian Government has not lodged any protest with either Vietnamese Government Australia is no longer involved in the conflict in Vietnam nor is it a party to the Paris Agreements. [More…]
Has the Australian Government protested to the North Vietnamese Authorities; if not, will a protest be made. [More…]
If the answer to both parts of question (4) is ‘no’, what conditions will have to exist in South Vietnam before the Australian Government will protest to the North Vietnamese Government. [More…]
and (S) The Australian Government has not lodged any protest with either Vietnamese Government. [More…]
The Australian Prime Minister and the Australian Government voice emphatic protest to the Premier and Government of the USSR, at the government enforced exile of the Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his home in the USSR. [More…]
Will the Prime Minister use the occasion of his coming visit to the Soviet Union to protest to the heads of the Soviet Government against such brutal and mindless oppression of a distinguished writer whose only crime was to publicise the denial of human rights in the Soviet Union? [More…]
Migrants who have come to Australia from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and its satellites have asked me to protest at the presence in Australia of Lieutenant-General E. Pitovranov who has admitted that he served for a long period in the Soviet Secret Police (KGB). [More…]
-A number of staff and possibly officers of my Department took leave on the Thursday to join in a protest against any restriction, which they claim exists, on the right of public servants to free speech. [More…]
The possibility of a sit-in was anticipated but they decided not to seek police protection as it had an upsetting effect upon the staff and because they have always been able to reason with Aborigines who came there in protest. [More…]
The Australian Government has made no official protest to the Spanish Government as the matter would appear to lie within the domestic jurisdiction of the Spanish authorities. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs: Is the report correct that the Chinese Government has protested about the reporting by Australian journalists based in China concerning the interesting events now developing in China? [More…]
If the report is correct, what form did the protest take? [More…]
If a protest was made, has the Australian Government informed the Chinese Government that it defends the right of Australian journalists to report events free from coercion or threats? [More…]
So far I have not heard any protest from some of those people- including people who belong to the same church as the Catholic Bishop of Bilbao- who have so rightly been vocal about what happened to Solzhenitsyn protesting about the Catholic Bishop who is being expelled from Spain. [More…]
But I believe that those people who accept the dictatorship in Spain, who accept the genocide in Vietnam, who accept American intervention in Cuba and Dominica, and who are happy about the coups d’etat and the military juntas in Greece and Chile have no right to protest about civil liberties in the Soviet Union. [More…]
These people have signed a petition of protest which they have asked me as a senator to present to the Parliament. [More…]

I hold in my hand a letter from the Australian Pre-School Association containing telegram after telegram of protest addressed to the Australian Government. [More…]
Therefore, I think that in response to Senator Durack ‘s protest you should withdraw the remarks to which he has referred and continue your speech in the Address-in-Reply debate. [More…]
I am sorry that tonight Senator Greenwood felt that he should behave like the lady of whom it was said on one occasion: ‘The lady doth protest too much’. [More…]
All he did was protest. [More…]
I thought that this proposition would bring forth loud protests from both sides of the Senate, the House which exists to protect the rights and individuality of the States. [More…]
But I hear no protest from the Government side- only a loud silence. [More…]
Methinks he doth protest too much. [More…]
The Australian Prime Minister and the Australian Government voice emphatic protest to the Premier and Government of the U.S.S.R., at the government enforced exile of the Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn from his home in the U.S.S.R [More…]
Is the Minister aware that 5 days before the elections 6,000 farmers held a protest meeting at Subiaco Oval? [More…]
Government’s support of the right to independence of the people of Namibia, will the Government protest at the South African Government’s arrest and detention of these people without charge? [More…]
Can the Minister say whether he has heard of any protest by Mr John McLeay, MP about this detention of a new set of political prisoners in the world? [More…]
If so, will the Minister explain why Australia opposed the inclusion of China in a protest against atmospheric nuclear testing which was issued by the South Pacific Forum? [More…]
The situation is that we are in the South Pacific Forum and we are dealing with that area, and the protest was made in relation to that area. [More…]
It concerns a very large protest meeting of country people held last Monday in Western Australia. [More…]
People from all walks of life in Western Australia have every right to protest to the Prime Minister and they were in attendance at this meeting. [More…]
Well, senator, here is a headline which states: ‘Cairns Will Lead New Protest. ‘ [More…]
The Australian Labor Party protested long before the Party of which the honourable senator is a member when the Chinese first started nuclear testing in the atmosphere. [More…]
Mr Whitlam, as Leader of the Opposition, protested to China when he visited that country. [More…]
He has protested to the Chinese since he has become Prime Minister and we have specifically sent our Ambassador to China to protest to the Chinese again. [More…]
As for this business of why we protested against one country and not against another, the fact is that it was specifically written into the South Pacific Forum communique. [More…]
I believe it is the sort of thing we should protest against and prohibit wherever possible. [More…]
As the Australian Government is unable to take action against China in the World Court as it can against France, will the Leader of the Government request the Prime Minister to consider instructing the Deputy Prime Minister, Dr J. F. Cairns, to cancel his planned visit to China to open the Peking fair as a form of protest? [More…]
Would the Leader of the Government regard such a step as an effective form of protest at China’s continuing and callous disregard of the welfare of its people and of the people of the world? [More…]
Does the Leader of the Government believe the Chinese Government will take more notice of Dr Cairn’s plaintive protest than it did of the Prime Minister’s? [More…]
-The Australian Government, through the Prime Minister, has already made an emphatic protest against the conduct of the nuclear tests by the Government of the People’s Republic of China. [More…]
I refer to the report that as a protest against French atmospheric nuclear tests the Prime Minister refused to accept an invitation from the French Ambassador to celebrate France’s national day. [More…]
If the report is correct will the Prime Minister protest in a similar way against the Chinese atmospheric nuclear tests by refusing any invitation to attend receptions given by the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China until such time as China discontinues atmospheric nuclear tests, thereby demonstrating the Government’s much vaunted evenhandedness? [More…]
At least he should have put in a protest to the electoral officer in regard to what happened in Western Australia or contacted the Minister. [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…]
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…]
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…]
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…]
So we must, as I say, protest about the attitude of the Government- the Prime Minister and the Attorney-General (Senator Murphy) in particularin its failure or refusal to provide this Senate, this Parliament and the public with the version of the facts presented by them to the Governor-General, the advice which it based on those facts, which it presented to him and which was the basis on which he granted a double dissolution. [More…]
At that time 4 Aborigines had settled on the island as a protest in order to stop further bombing. [More…]
But let us make our protest that we are not going to sit by and be silent when this Government thinks it can do what it likes without regard to the rights of anybody else. [More…]
I register our protest. [More…]
That is why I rise to protest against these neutral procedural motions to simply take note of the paper - [More…]
I just want to say that I protest against these ordinary routine procedures being used to deal with a matter of this sort, especially if I can take it from what was said by my Deputy Leader, Senator Greenwood, as I can, because it is completely implied, that the Opposition has not been advised of the Government’s intentions with regard to this report. [More…]
I have expressed my protest, I hope quite unequivocally. [More…]
I protest against that attitude. [More…]
We on this side of the House often protest against so many areas of government activity, including economic and mining matters, and we attempt to point out that this or that action of the Federal Government is wrong. [More…]
We have protested in the last day or two about the very great authority that was attempted to be handed to the Minister for Minerals and Energy (Mr Connor) in a Bill that was debated in the Senate. [More…]
I knew that as a protest Aboriginals went on to the island, remained on the island then left the island when the Darwin police sent a launch there to bring them back. [More…]
No such power was given to this Parliament in the Constitution, and I protest that $ 1 5.75m that we have exacted from the taxpayers pursuant to our taxing powers should be illegally appropriated. [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…]
But I observe in passing that the Opposition feels that it has a responsibility to say to the Senate that if the proposal in the amendment is not agreed to we will feel that we have no alternative other than to vote against the 2 Bills in protest. [More…]
I wish to enter a protest at the course which is being adopted because, unquestionably, it will not be as tidy an approach or as quick an approach as we would like. [More…]
The undersigned men and women of Australia vigorously protest against your Government’s reported provision of Government funds amounting to $150,000 to African Liberation Movements this year, which amounts to contravention of United Nations Charter and is direct interference in internal affairs of African countries. [More…]
At any stage did any of the 2 1 sitting Liberal or Country Party senators prior to December 1972 protest at this abrogation of individual liberty, or move to suspend the Act? [More…]
Did any Liberal or Country Party senator elected since 1972 make any similar protest? [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Treasurer aware that the Home Buyers Association of South Australia has organised a meeting, to be held at the Adelaide Town Hall on 19 August, in protest against the high home loan interest rates? [More…]
Whilst Ministers may protest and the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) may find a scapegoat in the economy, it is the Federal Government which is the responsible party to handle the Australian economy. [More…]
But I want to issue my protest and say that if some risk is to be taken I will take it on the basis that we may have a little more expenditure on another committee because the Government certainly has not given a sufficient increase in expenditure to the defence forces as such. [More…]
I issue my protest in this way by voting for Senator Withers ‘ amendment. [More…]
The attitude of Dr Klugman, a respected member of the Australian Labor Party, who sent a telegram of protest and who gave it to the Press is also reminiscent of the cold war era. [More…]
The protest, because it was not led by a member of the Australian Labor Party or a communist, has been called a bad protest. [More…]
I hope that the people of Western Australia know that those decent people- the students, the churchmen and the others- who were out there protesting in favour of freedom were described in the words of Senator Willesee as a pack of louts. [More…]
A protest is valid and in the cause of freedom when it is led by a member of the Australian Labor Party or by a communist. [More…]
It would be quite impossible and unjust for the Senate, even though it is a formality of protest to put in the paragraphs which call for the dismissal of the Minister, to actually call for the Minister’s dismissal on what has been presented to the Senate over some hours of discussion today on what is known about the Ermolenko affair. [More…]
For the Opposition to put 2 useless additional arguments in the motion puts senators who want to join in that protest in regard to the Baltic states in a very difficult position. [More…]
Are we to put ourselves in the very foolish position of asking for the dismissal of the Minister as a form of protest to be carried by the Senate by voting for all 3 paragraphs? [More…]
If we vote that way, it would be not just an Opposition protest- I hope that the Opposition understands the importance of that- but the motion would be carried on the basis that the Opposition has proven its case in the Ermolenko affair and on the basis that we believe the Minister has harmed Australia’s national interest to the very serious extent that he should vacate his office. [More…]
However, I do join with the protest on the central theme. [More…]
I feel very deeply for them, as obviously do the Opposition senators in general, and I join in that protest. [More…]
First of all I would like to protest that some of the Budget Bills have been proceeded with by this Government in advance of the time honoured custom of giving the Leader of the Opposition a week in which to reply to the Budget. [More…]
If this Bill were the only one involved perhaps one would not make much of a protest but we have had brought into the Senate another important Budget Bill which has already been processed in the House of Representatives; that is the Bill increasing telephone and postal charges. [More…]
I protest as strongly as I can at actions which are based upon a misunderstanding and at false accusations which are made about the leaders of the textile industry, both on the company side and on the trade union side. [More…]
Of course, there was a protest by the applicant who was unsuccessful. [More…]
We will not do anything like that and we will let this measure go through, but we will protest about it and criticise it. [More…]
One has only to read about the numerous protest meetings around the countryside to realise how far offside is the Government with the rural sector of the economy. [More…]
The Government’s action is likely to bring severe hardship and possible ruin to sections of a basic primary industry and I feel the situation I have outlined makes a mockery not only of their earlier promises but shows in their true light the sham and hypocrisy of prominent Ministers who protest loudly about atomic explosions whilst they continue to encourage and assist imports from countries concerned. [More…]
The article went on to say that the Greek Government was astounded by this lack of concern and that a protest had been made to the Australian Government. [More…]
The second point which the article makes is that the Greek Government was astounded by our supposed lack of concern and made a protest to the Australian Government. [More…]
It is absolutely untrue that any protest was made to us over this issue since the Greek Government is much better informed of the facts of the matter than the particular newspaper which published the article to which Senator Mulvihill referred. [More…]
This is exemplified by its refusal to have a single member of the Government attend the protest rally which was organised yesterday in Launceston. [More…]
It does not matter how much you protest; if you are not successful it is a wash-out. [More…]
I do not hear any protest in the community about looking at too much Australian programming. [More…]
I think there was a storm of protest from Senator Rae when I suggested that the Committee had been guilty of unconscionable delay, and that was back, I think, in 1971- about 3 years ago. [More…]
Approximately 6 months after that I protested again, but there is a stage at which one gives up protesting about the delay. [More…]
I received a letter of protest from the Aboriginal Legal Service in Victoria accompanied by a sticker showing a pencil drawing of a girl with a mass of hair and the caption ‘We hate to get in your hair but this account is overdue’. [More…]
When I notified him that I could not believe that this type of reminder notice came from a Government Department and that protests had been received about it, he took the attitude that he was prepared to withdraw that type of reminder notice and send out a threatening bureaucratic letter telling people to pay up or else. [More…]
One was a very orderly march on Parliament House which was followed by a rally held on the Esplanade; and on the day that the Bill went before the Legislative Council a protest rally was held in the Supreme Court gardens. [More…]
We should be united in this protest to see that discrimination ceases in Australia also- both in respect of the legislation passed in Western Australia and in respect of the Country Party’s attitude particularly to Aborigines within Australia. [More…]
His own actions and the statements that he has made, such as they are, have indicated his complete indifference and carelessness concerning the welfare of migrants, and I protest strongly. [More…]
The separate issues, of course, are firstly in relation to accountability as far as the New South Wales Aboriginal Legal Service is concerned and, secondly, the manner of exercising a right to protest. [More…]
I do not subscribe to the manner of the exercise of the right of protest by the erection of tents outside Parliament House but I suggest that the Minister is not entitled in any way at all to say to the New South Wales Aboriginal Legal Service: ‘I will cut off your funds unless you cause those tents to be pulled down.’ [More…]
I ask the Minister for Agriculture whether he attended the much publicised but not well attended farmers’ protest rally outside Parliament House today. [More…]
I did attend the meeting at lunch time and, as far as I know, no member of the Australian Country Party was present although Mr Anthony had indicated his support for the protest. [More…]
One can understand the difficulties faced by anyone calling a protest meeting on a working day but I am sure that the embarrassment would have been greater to Mr Anthony or any of his colleagues had he been out there. [More…]
Having recorded that very strong protest, the comments that have been made by the Government, both on this Bill and on its policies on local government, strongly remind me of a statement which was made by Francis Bacon about 400 years ago. [More…]
Senator Poyser is a member of the Victorian Labor Party which had the opportunity to go before these various bodies to express its protest and to ask the Environment Protection Authority and the Environment Protection Appeals Board to consider the various matters upon which it is now relying but no attempt was made to do so. [More…]
In view of the serious allegation and the extension of torture to young children, will the Leader of the Government raise this inhuman and fiendish development with the Prime Minister and ask him to protest on behalf of the Australian Government to General Binochet against the torture and murder of political prisoners in Chile? [More…]
I have asked Sir Laurence Mclntyre, Australia ‘s Ambassador to the United Nations to tell the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who has already written to the Ethiopian authorities making known his concern about this matter, that we agree wholeheartedly with those views and wish to be associated with his protest. [More…]
Why has the Australian Government failed to register its protest directly to the new regime? [More…]
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…]
that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
Therefore it is necessary to get an authority- by resolution of both Houses- to provide that any member of the committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
If people do not protest spontaneously, if they do not protest as members of an organisation, if something has to be done to make them protest, there is no protest at all in my book. [More…]
I am sure that these people would not have protested in this manner. [More…]
I believe that there is a big protest in Queensland in relation to the Act. [More…]
The present position is that the Australian Postal Workers Union, in protest against the decision of Mr Taylor, has decided to carry on a number of stoppages. [More…]
-Oh no, but I did not notice you all rising in protest against your colleague then. [More…]
Further telegrams of protest sent to Prime Minister . [More…]
I think this has all been fairly expressed, and I must say that I do not proceed under protest. [More…]
I have raised this matter because of the considerable volume of protest- protest which in my view is justified- which has come from the Northern Territory. [More…]
Let not primary industry protest because its representatives at this time are saying: ‘Accept this Bill for the sake of 2 months ‘. [More…]
Under that protest, I will disagree with the Minister’s proposal, exempting clause 5 from my remarks. [More…]
If we have not yet funded this organisation for 1974-75, surprisingly I have received no recent protest from it about the matter. [More…]
In view of the clear evidence that North Vietnam has flagrantly and continually breached the agreements from the day they were signed, and clearly never had any intention of honouring the agreements, has the Minister or the Prime Minister protested to North Vietnam over its massive breaches of the agreements? [More…]
If not, will such a protest be made, if only in the interests of evenhandedness? [More…]
One is entitled to ask the question: Why is it that honourable senators opposite, certain people associated with so-called protest movements in Darwin and certain people in the other place have set out to try to create an entirely different apparatus, an entirely different structure and an entirely different arrangement for what must be one of the great challenges for this Government and this Parliament? [More…]
Maybe some of those who are active in the protest movement in Darwin are correct. [More…]
Members of the Government Party have received very few telegrams and nearly all the telegrams of protest have gone to members of the Opposition. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite made great protests about the people being so up in arms that many hundreds had signed petitions in protest. [More…]
The protests were all phoney. [More…]
How genuine is the overall protest of the people in Darwin who, we are told, are protesting against the provisions contained in this Bill? [More…]
Today they are organising meetings to protest and condemn the action of the Minister in seeking to rebuild Darwin. [More…]
But there is a little group that the Australian Country Party, through the Legislative Assembly, has set up as a protest body to stop this rapid expansion. [More…]
On Tuesday I set out essentially the facts which I have already related and I asked whether any protest had been made. [More…]
I asked whether if no protest had been made because the Minister did not accept the stories, he had apologised or Australia had apologised to the Russian Government for these allegations made about the Russian Government’s hospitality to our Prime Minister. [More…]
I asked the Minister whether he would elaborate to the people of Australia whether these things occurred and, if they occurred, whether a protest was made to the Russian Government. [More…]
If no protest was made, why not? [More…]
Was a protest made if these things occurred and, if not, why not? [More…]
If no protest was made and these things did occur, should the Prime Minister of this country and his party be subjected to these indignities? [More…]
If Senator Greenwood is upset about a government doing something he ought to protest to that government. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs aware of the strong protest directed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and to other persons by Mr Frank Galbally, an experienced Melbourne lawyer, relating to the recent trial and gaol sentence in Singapore of Tan Wah-Piow, the 23-year old president of the University of Singapore Students Union? [More…]
I only voice my protest. [More…]
Have any of those Ministers, or the Government of which they are members, protested to the Government of North Vietnam, the People’s Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam or the Khmer Rouge over the indiscriminate attacks on defenceless civilians in South Vietnam and Cambodia by artillery, rockets and mortars employed as instruments of terror? [More…]
If not, will the Government make such a protest, even if only to maintain a pretence of even-handedness? [More…]
The third matter is one of slight protest. [More…]
Without pressing the matter any further just at the moment, I will see whether or not any interest has been evoked on this side of the chamber in the protest which I make about that ground for refuting my amendment, that is to say, that places like Queensland and parliaments like the Parliament of Queensland may prescribe a level of prohibition that we should overrule and give bounty to. [More…]
Seventeen hundred public servants will be transferred to Monarto, so there is not a protest among the public servants of South Australia. [More…]
The protest is being made by a small proportion of public servants- it is insignificant. [More…]
Has the Post Office or the Postmaster-General received any protest about the proposed stamp? [More…]
In the 1 6 months between the signing of the Paris agreements in November 1973 and the correspondence of 20 March 1975 did the Commonwealth Government make any protest to North Vietnam about the flagrant breaches by that country? [More…]
Will the Government table the text of any such protest made in that period? [More…]
If not, why did the Government wait until 20 March 1975, after the massive overrunning of South Vietnam by the communists, to make a protest? [More…]
In relation to an article in the ‘Queensland Times’ (21-8-74) headed ‘Ipswich Aborigines a forgotten race’, outlining an interview with Mr Fisher of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee I would like to add a few words in protest. [More…]
Has the Australian Government protested to the Government of North Vietnam about the shelling of refugee columns and the execution of leading citizens in captured areas? [More…]
If no such protest has been made, will the Minister explain why not? [More…]
We are being asked whether we have protested to North Vietnam about this, that or something else. [More…]
We have made a general protest to North Vietnam. [More…]
Senator Greenwood interjects and says that we did not protest about the executions. [More…]
If we were to protest day after day to both sides we would be doing nothing else. [More…]
I refer the Minister for Foreign Affairs to his earlier answer that Australia would be a laughing stock of the world if it were to protest constantly about things like the North Vietnamese shelling of refugees and the execution of opponents. [More…]
Is it not a fact that the Government has protested about imprisonment in South Africa and Indonesia? [More…]
Why protest in one case and not in another? [More…]
Yes, we have protested not only to those 2 countries about political prisoners but to every country where we believe people are being held without trial. [More…]
I said that if we started to protest at everything that happened during wartime we would be a laughing stock. [More…]
Senator McLaren demonstrates his partisan attitude to this Bill by immediately dividing those who may protest about voters who should not be able to vote in a certain election on the basis of whether they may vote Labor or Liberal. [More…]
Mr President, the House of Representatives transmits to the Senate the following resolution, which was agreed to by the House of Representatives this day, and requests the concurrence of the Senate therein: That paragraph 12 of the resolution of appointment of the Joint Committee on Pecuniary Interests of Members of Parliament be omitted and that the following paragraph be substituted: ‘(12) That the Committee report within the shortest reasonable period, not later than 30 September 1975, and that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. ‘ [More…]
Was a strong protest directed to the Minister and to other persons by Mr Frank Galbally, an experienced Melbourne lawyer, in respect of the recent trial and gaol sentence, in Singapore, of Mr Tan Wah-Piow, the 23 year old President of the University of Singapore Student ‘s Union. [More…]
However, the Sub-Committee has promised its discreet full co-operation to ensure that both protest meetings will have maximum attendances. [More…]
I certainly want to make my protest if the Senate, because the Opposition’s tardiness to sit on Fridays, is to be forced to sit in disjunction with the lower House when the lower House has risen. [More…]
I make a protest now at the fact that any amendments I may make on behalf of my constituents, and any amendments which this side of the chamber may make, will be useless in the face of the pressures that I have mentioned. [More…]
Somehow or other in the original motion peculiar language was used to the effect that the Committee report within 90 days and that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
Simply because Australia does not take the position of an outright ban on the Whaling Commission we become the subject of protest and criticism by groups which I think really do not understand the situation, despite our attempts to explain it to them. [More…]
Did the Legislative Assembly of the Australian Capital Territory on 2 1 April last pass a motion protesting against the Government proposals? [More…]
Does the Government intend to ignore the expressions of protest by the elected assemblies of the 2 Territories in this matter? [More…]
I protest that we, as taxpayers, are seeing very little return in terms of value for money. [More…]
That the Committee report within the shortest reasonable period, not later than 30 September 1975, and that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report. [More…]
So it is in government, where an Upper House acts as a brake on hasty legislation, imposes a period of reflection and provides an opportunity for anyone- the farmer, the banker, the industrialist, the representative of labour- to voice his opinion, support or protest regarding proposed legislation, after which the Upper House may make or suggest amendments to proposed laws. [More…]
That is why they have united in an unprecedented manner to protest against the Bill, against having to accept a whole range of union instructions, having suddenly to be subordinate to union penalties, running the risk of being expelled without compensation …. [More…]
Trade union action has added a new dimension because there is something final about a black ban or a green ban as opposed to the traditional means of protest such as letter writing, demonstrations and deputations. [More…]
At least the Australian Government Minister who belongs to my Party treated everybody with tolerance and gave them the right to make their protest. [More…]
We wish to register our strongest protest against the establishment of the Australian Government Insurance Corporation, and the introduction of the National Compensation Bill, as proposed by the Federal Government. [More…]
Is it not the right of the candidate to express that point of view, just as it is the right of Commonwealth public servants to assemble in protest outside Parliament House and express themselves in letters, telegrams, and resolutions? [More…]
Is it any wonder that I rise, for about the twentieth time in the 25 years that I have been a senator, to protest with all the spirit of which I am capable at the imposition which the monopoly of this union represents upon the trade of Australia? [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…]
b) in respect of the matter referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b), to report on or before the 1st day of November 1975, and that any member of the Committee have power to add a protest or dissent to any report’ “. [More…]
-I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Defence: Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to the many Press reports of a statement by LieutenantColonel K. Newman claiming that he had resigned from the Army in protest at conditions in that branch of the armed Services and in protest at the policies of the former Minister for Defence? [More…]
He made application to resign in protest. [More…]
He made application to resign in protest against the way in which he alleged that Mr Barnard was running the defence Services. [More…]
The protest today was led by Doctor Price who is the head of the organisation. [More…]
I ask: Has not this protest been made and has not this damage been threatened to this organisation? [More…]
I raise it because I am interested to know whether the Government feels that this is a matter at any stage for legislative prohibition or restraint, or whether it is a matter which ought to be left to the persons who are appointed to a bench to decide for themselves or for parties to the litigation to raise by way of protest in the litigation. [More…]
Does the Government intend to ignore these expressions of protest made by the elected Assemblies of the two Territories in this matter. [More…]
As honourable senators opposite protest, it confirms what many of us are thinking, that the Government is hiding something sinister behind the wall of silence that it has built around this inquiry. [More…]
How can persons protest against a decision which is in favour of them? [More…]
We wish to register our strongest protest against the establishment of the Australian Government Insurance Corporation, and the introduction of the National Compensation Bill, as proposed by the Federal Government. [More…]
I know there has been criticism at times that there have been inspired petitions but, be that as it may, they still enable the constituent to make his or her protest known. [More…]
However, the Sub-Committee has promised its discreet full co-operation to ensure that both protest meetings will have maximum attendances. [More…]
I cite a report which was published in the West Australian on 12 July last of a meeting addressed by Mr R. S. Nords, acting State Manager of National Mutual Life Association of Australasia Ltd who, I understand, was one of the major organisers behind that spontaneous campaign of protest which the general public and insurance company staffs have been conducting for the last couple of months. [More…]
In this spontaneous campaign of protest I recall that in one day in this Parliament I received 20-odd letters all with identical enclosures, all apparently typed on the same typewriter, posted in 2 post boxes and bearing identical postage stamps. [More…]
Apparently I was supposed to be gullible enough to believe that these 20-odd identical letters of protest typed on the same machine in, I think, the office of the National Mutual Life Association, Mr Norris’s company, were part of a spontaneous display of opposition by private but deeply concerned citizens. [More…]
Has the Minister for Agriculture seen in today’s Australian a report that the Queensland Government will protest against a decision by the Australian Government to suspend the $28m dairy adjustment program? [More…]
I am quite sure that if such a protest were forthcoming from the Queensland Premier it would have little or no effect. [More…]
The industrial action was taken by that union as a protest against the delay in finalising an organisational review of the regulatory and licensing sections of the Postmaster-General’s Department in all States that occurred when the Australian Post Office was in operation. [More…]
The second point that ought to be made is that when the companies were asked for this information they protested at the fact that they were being required to give information that they regarded as being confidential. [More…]
I should say that the one company I have contacted did protest. [More…]
But the fact of the matter is that at least one company did protest and did stress that this material should be kept confidential. [More…]
I therefore take the opportunity to protest at what is obviously recognisable, to say that I do not support it and to appeal to those members of the Opposition who have previously- privately or publicly- expressed their view that it is wrong for the Senate to deny the right of a government to exist except under quite extraordinary circumstances. [More…]
Cables of protest would have been sent, there would have been publicity and there would have been Press statements aimed at shaming the particular offending government into doing something about the situation. [More…]
Has the Government at any time protested at the imprisonment of Australians in Yugoslavia? [More…]
Will the Minister lay on the table of the Senate the text of any such protest? [More…]
I would hope that he would protest publicly, vigorously and persistently because it is only by shaming these governments by public exposure of what they are doing that we are likely to get results. [More…]
We must protest on behalf of the people in the remote areas of that State at such a redistribution. [More…]
It can protest. [More…]
If it has been prepared to protest and to raise its voice in condemnation then I ask the Minister to table the protests which have been made and the messages which have been sent so that that position can be clarified. [More…]
If in fact, in the face of strong protests, the Yugoslav Government has not been prepared to act the people throughout the world will be the better informed of the character of that particular Government. [More…]
The workers of Canberra spontaneously took 2 hours off work and revolted in protest. [More…]
The Commission simply has to make a declaration about the strike that Senator Wright has referred to, or the protest concerning the political scene today, because things should be done urgently on the wharf. [More…]
I register my complete and utter protest at the fact that, after more than 2 months during which the Appropriation Bills have been before the Parliament, when they come back from the House of Representatives and when an attempt is made to put them back on the notice paper for immediate debate the Neros on the Opposition benches fiddle. [More…]
Did Dr Edmunds resign from the naval school of underwater medicine in protest at this decision? [More…]
Why then is he protesting now? [More…]
I think the expression is: ‘Me thinketh they protest too much’. [More…]
That we protest at the Opposition’s campaign to force a General Election by their decision to prevent the passage of Supply Bills. [More…]
I rise to protest at the impertinence of indirect insinuations as to what they were without any knowledge and, I suggest, without either of them ever having perused anything but the utterance yesterday of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam), which was a hypothetical addendum to an extraordinary viewpoint that Sir Richard Eggleston put down a week or two ago and as to which I have searched in vain to find any text which supports it in the slightest degree. [More…]
Will the Minister for Science indicate when he proposes to publish his or his Department’s Green Paper on meteorological services and when and how the formal protests over the withdrawal of Tasmanian coastal station reports from the scheduled broadcasts of Hobart marine radio will be considered? [More…]
Will the Minister note that there is a near unanimous protest from Tasmanian fishermen and other small boat operators who regard the service as vital to their safety irrespective of the attitudes which may be adopted in other parts of Australia? [More…]
As to the relationship between the previous Labor Government and the Queen’s representative, that was the principle underlying our form of protest yesterday. [More…]
I refer to the reported actions of the Philippines Government in placing an embargo against Australian imports as a protest against Australian protectionist policies. [More…]
It has been demonstrated that the action of the journalists in stopping work as a protest was not sufficient. [More…]
Not a word of protest have we heard from either the Prime Minister or his Minister for Foreign Affairs on this matter. [More…]
From that point on and in this debate in particular it seems that Opposition members, almost to a man, have consistently concerned themselves with what they believed were the unfortunate occurrences of October, November and December of 1975.I believe that the 60-odd empty seats in this chamber last Tuesday when this Parliament was opened in the traditional manner really provided mute evidence not of protest but really of insult to the institution of this Parliament, to the representatives of the people of Australia, to the Governor-General himself and, I guess, through him to the Monarch. [More…]
I believe that those empty seats provided mute evidence not of protest but of insult to the very institution that the Australian democracy needs so desperately to maintain and develop. [More…]
I believe that mute protest, that insult, was proved later in the day to be in some measure humorous and in some measure ironical. [More…]
When we moved to the Senate gardens to take some cool drinks and general refreshments a measure of the protest and insult had suddenly dissipated, because out there where the drinks were on and the sandwiches were around we found the former Prime Minister, most of his family and indeed many of his colleagues. [More…]
I have recorded my protest in the appropriate manner and I hope that the Government will pay regard to my protestations in that area. [More…]
I have made my protestations about that aspect. [More…]
That was done under great protest from most of the operators- the airlines, the airline pilots, the navigators, the engineers and everybody associated with civil aviation. [More…]
I understand that the branch has alleged that this is in protest against Government cuts, which it alleges will result in sackings within the ABC. [More…]
Will honourable senators protest about that? [More…]
They will protest about Timor. [More…]
But they will not protest about Angola; that is sacred. [More…]
They will protest about Chile. [More…]
I do not defend what may have gone on in Chile, not in any sense, but the honourable senators do not protest about what happened under the communist government in Chile. [More…]
But there is no question of a protest to the Government of Indonesia. [More…]
I want to add my protest to that of Senator Wood. [More…]
I would like to voice a protest at the fact that it has been made in such a way and at such a time as do not permit a full debate. [More…]
As I recall it, a person appointed from Western Australia used to participate in Vietnam protest marches. [More…]
In my 30 years of association with the industry I have never known farmers io attend meetings in such numbers as they have done over the past few months to protest about their situation. [More…]
There have been many protests. [More…]
I received a protest from the International Development Action Students group on 1 December 1975. [More…]
I have a protest telegram here which reads: [More…]
The Aboriginal people cannot be blamed if they protest. [More…]
Have not they the right to protest? [More…]
We would like to protest about public transport services at weekends in Belconnen. [More…]
-The Minister for Education will be aware that the Commonwealth Teachers Federation held a stopwork meeting in Darwin yesterday to protest about the shortage of single teacher accommodation in the Northern Territory. [More…]
-I ask the Minister for Education whether he is aware that the Parents and Citizens Association of New South Wales, perhaps prompted by the Teachers Federation, plans a protest operation in Canberra for Thursday 29 April. [More…]
I am not aware that the Association intends to hold a protest meeting. [More…]
If the amounts of tariff protection given to some industries in Australia were shown annually in the Budget as a bounty or subsidy instead of being hidden away, there would be a tremendous howl of protest from all over the country. [More…]
While withdrawal of the superphosphate bounty by the Federal Government has aroused the expected angry protest from farm organisations, it is unlikely to have any disastrous effect on the average farmer. [More…]
We hope that this expression of protest will be heeded and understood as being serious and considered. [More…]
Does a protest against conditions on Cocos Island constitute a troublemaker? [More…]
Troublemakers are not necessarily people who protest against conditions. [More…]
Has the Minister seen or otherwise become aware of statements being made in Tasmania by representatives of dairymen and other primary industry bodies that farmers were tricked into voting for the present Government with promises of financial assistance where necessary to effect improvements in the economic circumstances of dairymen who are now threatening to blockade roads, participate in protest marches, withhold their products from the market and to seek unemployment benefits? [More…]
I find it inconceivable that during a period in which we have a large number of protest groups and different interest groups- whether they be composed of teachers, parents, sociologists or educationalists generally- requiring the maintenance of this sort of allocation for education, members of the Government Parties, such as Senator Baume and to some extent even the Minister for Education, can decry, as Senator Baume did yesterday, the degree to which the previous Government became involved in increasing funding to the States in particular areas such as education. [More…]
The Polonia Soccer Club wishes to protest most strongly to you, because sporting news sent by us to the Polish program of 2EA has not been included in their recent broadcasts. [More…]
Perhaps- I say this with some irony- Mr Dwyer was delivering a protest note to the Soviets about their support of the Indonesian takeover of West New Guinea. [More…]
Right throughout the period of the Indonesian takeover of West New Guinea the Miscellaneous Workers Union journal Federation News made not the slightest protest about the takeover. [More…]
On the motion for first reading of this money Bill I desire to make some protest at certain answers to questions on notice. [More…]
While I could protest at many answers, I refer particularly to 2 answers. [More…]
I know that my colleague Senator Robertson is most upset about it, and I hope that the Country Party senator and that man in the other place affectionately known as Silent Sam will also be heard to protest on this occasion. [More…]
Nevertheless, the real test of good taste must lie with the viewing public at all times and their capacity to turn off the station or to protest. [More…]
I understand that there was widespread protest last night and I say that without in any way attempting to adjudicate on what happened. [More…]
In spite of the knowledge which the Government had at that time, no protest was lodged by the caretaker Government after the publicised invasion of early December. [More…]
I sincerely hope that Queensland honourable senators of the National Country Party, now fortified by an appeal from the Queensland Premier, will raise their voices and, more importantly, raise their arms in protest against the levy. [More…]
Perhaps Liberal senators like Ian Wood and Senator Bonner, two of the gallant six who were courageous enough to rebel and to give great assistance to the restoration of the funeral benefit to the pensioners, might protest. [More…]
As it is, at this stage they are having their protest rallies in the areas in which they live because they have been conned into believing that the last 3 years of Labor Government was the reason for the crisis developing within the industry. [More…]
Some political prisoners, as a token or protest, have refused to write letters (Kronid Lyubasky, Vladimir Prison). [More…]
If people take up a cause and find themselves in a crowd with mob psychology, the more dedicated will use certain methods to make their protest known in the places where they want it known. [More…]
During my ministry tent embassies were established on the lawns outside Parliament House in protest at the operations of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
There were the odd protest meetings; but unity is strength, and while one district was being picked off the others were not aware of it. [More…]
The Acting Prime Minister (Mr Anthony) and the Victorian Premier (Mr Hamer) were booed and jeered by dairy farmers after a protest march through Melbourne yesterday. [More…]
Can the Minister verify that the Australian Legal Aid Office aided the mining protest group’s objection financially? [More…]
In a democracy there is an important right to protest and to demonstrate an alternative point of view. [More…]
What is fundamental in the demonstration of protest is that the protest shall be within the law. [More…]
I am offended that a man of his eminence should write this and should accept it without protest. [More…]
Yet in its subservience to its big brother trading partner, the United States of America, it has done no more than to raise a mild protest at the latest decision of the United States of America. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs: Has any protest been made to the Government of the People’s Republic of China regarding the nuclear bomb which was exploded by that country during the past week? [More…]
If no protest has yet been made, will one be made? [More…]
I think the information I gave then- I will check to see whether it is accurate- was that our Ambassador in China had been instructed to call upon the Chinese Government to make a protest on behalf of the people of Australia. [More…]
The Queensland Council for Civil Liberties wishes to draw your attention to the threat to civil liberties and the rule of law repesented by a recent Cabinet decision to over-rule the decision by the Commissioner of Police and the then Minister to hold an inquiry into certain police actions on the occasion of a student protest march on 29 July 1 976. [More…]
Has any protest been made to the Government of the People’s Republic of China regarding the nuclear bomb which was exploded by that country during the past week? [More…]
If no protest has yet been made, will one be made? [More…]
During the course of those remarks I said, referring specifically to the Queensland police, that 90 per cent of them were honest, that a minority of them were corrupt and that the decision makers at government level were ensuring that the position remained this way because every time a public inquiry was called for there was a great protest, much throwing up of arms and nobody wanting to go on with the public inquiry. [More…]
What is also of importance is that no inquiry was to be held until complaints were made, and then an inquiry was made under protest through the Premier. [More…]
If that is not adhered to I will use everything within the rules, subject to your rulings, Mr President, to protest. [More…]
I, Jennifer Howlett of Bracewell via Mt Larcom, wish to lodge my protest against the mining of this area. [More…]
I Maurice Redmond Mclnally of East End Mt Larcom, wish to make a protest over the Queensland Government giving the right to Darra Cement and Lime Company the lease to open cut mining on our property, which we understand under the Act, open cut mining, and the first 30 centimetres of top soil is prohibited, so the Government is wrong in granting the lease. [More…]
At that meeting our Chairman of the Protest Group, Mr George Lucke, wanted to take a tape of the proceedings of the meeting and Mr Camm told him that if he were going to tape the meeting he would walk out. [More…]
Each time Mr Lucke endeavoured to put the case of the Protest Group it appeared to us that Mr Camm had no intention of listening to him or others as he would ‘squash’ what they were saying immediately by talking them down. [More…]
This deprived us of the right of appeal if the results of the hearing were unfavourable to the Protest Group. [More…]
In May 1976 when the Premier was in Mt Larcom campaigning for the forthcoming election for Port Curtis he extended an invitation for a deputation from the Mt Larcom Protest Group comprising the Chairman, Mr George Lucke and four delegates (of which I was one) to meet him and Mr Camm in Brisbane to discuss our problems on the 24th June 1976. [More…]
We are grateful to this newspaper for allowing us our democratic right to protest and be heard. [More…]
Mr Camm advised if we still wished to protest, our path lay in a Court Hearing. [More…]
There were rumours, prior to the departure of the five members of the deputation that Mr Alan Gent, a farmer that Darra was to buy out initially, and a critic of the protest Group, had a written invitation to be present at this meeting. [More…]
We were dismayed and disgusted to hear that Mr Gent had been allowed entry into what was to have been a conference between the deputation from the Mt Larcom and District Mining Protest Group, Mr Camm and Mr Petersen. [More…]
This five minutes gave Mr Gent adequate time to disparage the district the deputation from the Protest Group had come to defend. [More…]
I understood from the members of the Group who travelled to Brisbane that Mr Petersen and Mr Camm had said they would arrange for a round table conference between the Mines Department, the mining Company, and the Protest Group before the decision was made with regard to the leases. [More…]
Shortly before the May by-election, about thirty members of our Group decided not to vote in protest at the handling of our case. [More…]
The majority of the members are conservative people, and it pained them to be forced by aversion to the Company’s and the Government’s policies into this form of protest. [More…]
1 am a member of the Mount Larcom Protest Mining Group. [More…]
The protest group was formed about 2 years ago, to protest over the mining leases applied for by Darra Exploration, for limestone and clay. [More…]
A few farmers of the protest group met Mr Moore in Mt Larcom. [More…]
Why should Mr Petersen blatantly tell us he had no knowledge of any correspondence sent to him by the Mining Protest Group? [More…]

We believe Darra Explorations in company of the Mines Minister should have to put forward all their proposals to the Mount Larcom and District Mining Protest Group and discuss all the effects on the district. [More…]
An interesting and informative study can be made of the members of the Mount Larcom and District Mining Protest Group. [More…]
Don Kearney- dairy farmer; Royal Australian Navy Service; Secretary Mount Larcom and District Mining; Protest Group; Chairman Bracewell School [More…]
George Lucke (Jnr)- part owner poultry and pig enterprise; chairman Mount Larcom and district mining protest group; secretary Bracewell, Machine Creek, Cedar Vale, Ambrose, conveyance committee; trustee Machine Creek hall Alec Lucke- president Mount Larcom Golding Park sporting complex [More…]
The Mount Larcom and District Mining Protest Group was formed in December, 1974. [More…]
Methinks that the present Government doth protest too much on this whole issue because we have been continually told by Ministers of the Government throughout this year that our major concern is to get broadcasting out of politics and politics out of broadcasting. [More…]
Resulting from a meeting of the Muttaburra branch of this Association held on Saturday 23 October 1976, 1 have been asked by the branch to forward a copy of a motion adopted at the meeting, lodging the strongest possible protest at the changed times of the ABC Queensland news broadcasts due to commence after daylight saving comes into being in the southern States. [More…]
And whereas we Australian citizens of Ukrainian descent are dedicated to the Ukrainian Autocephalic Orthodox Church in Australia and New Zealand protest and condemn the constant harassment and violation by U.S.S.R. authorities particularly of our devotees and clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. [More…]
Of course, it was that clause which led to the most vehement protest from the States at the beginning of last week. [More…]
It was a unilateral decision by this Government, and again it provoked a storm of protest from most of the State governments. [More…]
My question, which is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, arises out of the publication recently of a book by Major-General Alan Stretton, out of claims made in that book which have been widely reported, and out of several detailed letters of protest and rebuttal appearing, for example, in today’s Press. [More…]
Staff in the repatriation hospitals have held stop work meetings in protest against alleged staff ceilings. [More…]
Where is the protest of the Government senators? [More…]

About 400 fruitgrowers marched through Berri yesterday in a protest at the state of their industry. [More…]

The strongly-worded letter of protest sent by Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser to President Ford shortly after quotas were finally introduced in October. [More…]
When one considers that it is intended to phase out this subsidy, it is amazing how little reaction there has been from the farming community, especially when we consider the hullabaloo, the outcry, the protest meetings and the rhetoric that was expressed when the Labor Government took the step 2 years ago of phasing out the superphosphate bounty. [More…]
It is rather interesting that he should mention the protests that confronted the Labor Government when it removed the superphosphate bounty and compared that situation with the lack of protest when the Government is talking about scaling down the nitrogenous fertiliser bounty. [More…]
I will not accept the proposition that somebody who was a left wing councillor in the north of Italy is necessarily going to lead a protest march of dissatisfied people to Canberra. [More…]
We wish to protest at the recent cuts in Aboriginal spending. [More…]
I appreciate what the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) has said, but both speakers on this side of the chamber are basing our protest on facts. [More…]
At some stage I have got to protest that the Government seems determined that in no way will it brook interference with mining interests. [More…]
The Minister may know that a protest meeting is being held in Darwin more or less at present to discuss this matter. [More…]
In fact, I think there was some protest about the length of the reply. [More…]
It seems strange to me that in this world and in this country there are protests when there is oppression of blacks by whites, but unfortunately there is little protest when there are atrocities and oppression of blacks by blacks. [More…]
I think that we fall short in our duty if we do not protest at the highest level against what has happened in Uganda because of the actions of this tyrant. [More…]
I hope that, as a black man of this country, my words will go throughout the world and reach out to those leaders of black countries so that they will protest and join the leaders of the churches throughout the world whose voices have been raised against what has happened and what is likely to happen in Uganda. [More…]
The honourable senator was correct in drawing this matter to the attention of the Senate and suggesting that there ought to be a lot of indignation and protest about those events. [More…]
I simply say in summary about his remarks in relation to Uganda that we must strengthen our voice and strengthen Australia’s voice of protest in an endeavour to develop a worldwide voice of protest about what has been happening under the regime of the person whom must be regarded as the most vicious of all the African dictators. [More…]
I appreciate that the Australian Government has vigorously protested about the events in Uganda. [More…]
If we did we could express our protest diplomatically by breaking off diplomatic relations. [More…]
Some did not even vote in that election as a matter of protest. [More…]
In view of the fact that the President of Uganda, Dr Idi Amin Dada, has consistently stated that he will attend the Commonwealth Conference in London in June this year, will the Australian Government give consideration, as Canada is presently doing, to boycotting the meeting in protest at the savage practices that currently are widespread in Uganda under Amin? [More…]
We may find that another honourable senator who does not want some material made a public document will protest to the last. [More…]
One can only hope that President Carter and his Administration will have the courage, the luck and the fortitude to carry through what they have said to be the objective of their Administration, that is, to pursue a policy in support of human rights wherever they may be throughout the world; that they will protest- and justifiably protest- about deprivation of civil liberties in the Soviet Union, in Czechoslovakia or Poland and will take action accordingly, provided it does not crash us into a third world war. [More…]
The subsequent uproar- and there was a loud protest from the community generally as well as from Aboriginal communities- persuaded the Treasurer (Mr Lynch) to produce some additional money. [More…]

It seems to me significant that the other member countries, namely, Indonesiabecause, of course, it is a party to the whole problem- Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, and beyond them Japan, have made no tremendous protest. [More…]
We have not seen from them the sort of emotional protest that seems to have come from at least some sections of the Australian community. [More…]
Qantas spokesman, Mr Bob Cousins, is reported as saying that the incident was treated very seriously indeed by Qantas and that Qantas filed a protest, mainly because of the inadequacy of radar control at that airport. [More…]
As a passenger on that flight and remembering the great concern of the Qantas pilot and his demand to know the name of the officer in the Manila airport control at that time, I ask: In view of the apparent lack of concern by the Philippines Civil Aeronautics Administration, will the Minister investigate whether the official reply to the protest of Qantas was satisfactory? [More…]
East Timor has been oneof the Commission’s main concerns since November 27 1975, when it called on the Australian Government to ‘protest vigorously to the Indonesian Government at the reported Indonesian attack on the town of Atabae in East Timor’ and to ‘take all possible steps towards a peaceful resolution of the conflict, at the heart of which is the right of the East Timorese people to determine their own future.’ [More…]

The Chairman of their Medical Council has resigned in protest. [More…]
I want to lodge the strongest protest against the South Australian member of the House of Representatives- that is, the honourable member for Barker (Mr Porter)- for his criticism of the South Australian Premier. [More…]
I protest. [More…]
However, to be brief, I shall leave my protest as a blunt disapproval of the idea that the Minister is entitled to give directions. [More…]
Current Australian protest of the Indonesian invasion stems in pan from sympathies on both sides during that period, as many Australians have never forgotten the help they received from East Timor. [More…]
He talked about the protest yesterday as if it is some rather unique function that has happened only since this Government returned to office. [More…]

I have made my protest quite plain and I do not intend to carry it to that extent again. [More…]
What Senator McLaren did not say was that South Australia made no protest about the specific allocation as between national highways and other matters at the Australian Transport Advisory Committee meeting in February 1977. [More…]
The second thing is that no protest has been made about this and the third thing is that there may be transfers if they are desired. [More…]
That is probably because people in their position cannot find the necessary finance to travel great distances in order to participate in this type of protest. [More…]

It is a protest that I repeat every session when industrial legislation is brought in during the last days of a session and accompanied by a gag motion designed to prevent the Opposition debating that legislation fully. [More…]
Debate on this procedural motion provides a good opportunity to do as Senator Georges has done, that is, to protest against the procedure being followed in this chamber today, not only in respect of the motion seeking the rapid passage of a Bill but also in respect of what occurred earlier in the day when the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Withers) decided to gag debate when there was an opportunity to discuss what the Senate ought to be able to do today and tomorrow.

I place on record my protest. [More…]
If they had wanted to protest against the infringement of States’ rights or, more importantly in my view, the gross and scandalous infringements of the rights of the individual and the denial of the most fundamental principles of AngloAustralian jurisprudence, they should have started protesting 25 years ago about the Atomic Energy Act.

[More…]
Mr Tonkin has gone on record protesting vigorously about the dangers for the River Murray if a paper pulp mill is built near Wodonga. [More…]

In this country, at least in the 1960s, I believe it was recognised that cannabis was the drug of protest, that cannabis was the drug of those who were not happy with the establishment, that cannabis was usually used, in circumstances away from alcohol, by those who did not drink whereas in more recent years surveys and common observation are suggesting that the pattern is changing- that people more and more are combining the use of cannabis and alcohol.

So, under the Approved Defence Projects Protection Act, ordinary civil rights of protest, whether by withdrawal of labour- after all we are not yet a conscripted slave society- or by normal peaceful practical measures of dissent, such as circulating a pamphlet, marching in a street or giving a speech- all these non-violent means of protest which ought to be positively encouraged in a demoracy- may lead one to be convicted.

Like so much of the industrial legislation for which this Government has been responsiblethe establishment of the Industrial Relations Bureau; the amendments to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act significantly increasing the scope of the punitive or penal powers under that legislation; and the Commonwealth Employees Act vesting powers of suspension, stand down or dismissal of public employees engaged in just about any conceivable form of industrial action; specific provisions of legislation like the Atomic Energy Amendment Bill, aimed quite specifically and directly at particular forms of legitimate trade union protest- this Bill is just another crude and vulgar piece of legislative union-bashing.

On the other hand, if one is a member of the Sydney White Anglo-Saxon Protestant establishment, one is supposed to be protected by that establishment. [More…]
