I am informed, however, that when the Committee was in Canberra recently and called on the Prime Minister the chairman, Mr Paulus Arek, asked that the representative of the Department of External Territories and one of the official members of the Committee should not accompany them into the Prime Minister’s suite. [More…]
We recommend that each senator and each representative receive an allowance of 1,750 per annum, an addition of 250 per annum to the allowance at present received; litis sum to be liable to a statutory deduction in respect of the weekly contribution to the member’s retiring allowance fund and to income tax. [More…]
In order to determine the tax free amount to be paid to a member of the Mouse of Representatives we recommend that electorates be divided into 5 groups and (hat each member bc paid the amount tax free set out below, opposite the number of the group in which his electorate is included. [More…]
If it is the view of the Government that electorate allowances are to be paid on an area basis, or even on a population basis, senators are entitled to the highest rate of all, whereas they have climbed only to the lowly status of a city representative. [More…]
What a farcical position to place a representative in. [More…]
A representative of the water board has said at a public meeting that it is not concerned with any health hazard; its main problem is to dispose of sewage and if it does not dispose of effluent effectively there are so many people waiting for further sewerage extensions that there will be a greater problem. [More…]
The public meeting that I mentioned - it was held in January - was attended by a representative of the Premier. [More…]
Naturally, being a representative of the Liberal Government in Canberra, the Minister for Education and Science was not going to say that Sir Henry Bolte has not raised them for the very simple, shrewd opportunist reason that he has an election to face. [More…]
Barry Macdonalds reply, when questioned about an appeal by the Students Representative Council to withdraw, was: [More…]
Representative institutions throughout the world are undergoing a crisis of confidence. [More…]

[More…]
As this is my initial contribution to debate in this chamber I would like to start by thanking the electors of Warringah for giving me the responsibility of being their representative in this place. [More…]
That is a pretty sad remark for a man who purports to be a representative of a rural community to make - ‘how many people did the honourable member report?’. [More…]
If the chain store can send a representative to the saleyards and buy, say, 500 or 1,000 bullocks at a time, day in and day out, week in and week out, it will not be long before it has a very sizable grip on the market. [More…]
At the same time, I ask the Minister to request the State Planning Authority of New South Wales, which has on it no representative from the area I represent, lo say that it has made an error and to rescind the type of decision that has already been made in respect of the premises in Tunbridge Street, Mascot, lt is incredible that with all the resources and planners that we have nobody has really looked at the problem from the point of view of the people I represent, which is this: They will immediately lose all me rights that they now have from the point of view of value. [More…]
But from this point of view 1 am entitled to say on their behalf, as their representative, that they have never been consulted nor was any elected representative of theirs ever consulted on this matter. [More…]
During the hearing before Commissioner Winter, the representative of the Company opposed the union approach to having the claim determined by Section 28 notification. [More…]

Local government in Australia, as a level of State government and State administration, by and large arose out of the convict settlements and the old authoritarian governments as set up before Australia had representative government in 1S52. [More…]
This committee, which met in May 1969, set up from among its members a special committee of 1 1 members including, as I understand it, a representative of Australia, to deal with future acts of unlawful interference with civil aviation. [More…]
I think apart from actually hearing one’s own viewpoint put in the chamber, various groups in the community are entitled to expect their representative to stand up and speak about the legislation under consideration. [More…]
four members appointed in relation to engineering works in Australia and elsewhere, of whom two shall be representative of the engineering profession; and [More…]
Honourable members may have noticed that clause 16 of the Bill provides that 2 members of the consultative committee shall be representatives of the engineering profession. [More…]
The clause does not state that the consultative committee must consist of 2 members who are professional engineers; it states that it must consist of 2 members who are representatives of the engineering profession. [More…]
So that a representative of a consultative firm which is in competition with the Corporation may be sitting on the consultative committee and he may say to the Minister: Do not let the Snowy Mountains Corporation come in on this one’. [More…]
This is quite significant because the consultative committee will include representatives of the Commonwealth Department of Works and the Department of National Development. [More…]
In addition 2 persons nominated by the Australian Institution of Engineers will be representative of the wide body of private consultants throughout Australia. [More…]
For overseas work it is intended that there will be added to the committee representatives of the Department of External Affairs and the Department of Trade and Industry. [More…]
Nowhere in the clause is it suggested who the representatives on that committee will be. [More…]
Four members will be appointed in relation to engineering works in Australia and elsewhere, of whom 2 shall be representative of the engineering profession. [More…]
Those 2 representatives could come from private consultants - from one of the big engineering construction firms. [More…]
There is no mention of whether the other 2 members are to be Government appointees or whether they are to be representatives from outside the Commonwealth Public Service or outside the Corporation itself. [More…]
The first sod was turned just before the election of 1949, and, of course, a representative of the Labor Party officiated. [More…]
Ensure that the purchasers were satisfied with an independent appraisal or the production of a representative wool sample of sufficient size to permit subjective or visual assessment of the non-measurable qualities such as character, strength, soundness, softness, etc. [More…]
The Nimmo Committee took a sample group of these organisations - a ‘representative group’ was the term the Committee used - and they showed reserves of $52.8m. [More…]
The only exception there will be to this will be in cases where a special provision k written into an award that each day of a dispute shall be treated as a separate dispute, so that if the dispute lasted for only I day the maximum fine for a union or official, shop steward, job representative or rank and file member of a union would be reduced to $500, but if the dispute lasted for S days the maxima would become $2,500 for even a rank and file unionist or shop steward who was in breach of the award or Act. [More…]
Unions and employers should notify to each other in writing the names of their duly accredited job representatives who would bc responsible, in the first instance, for dealing wilh matters arising on the job. [More…]
The job representative of the union thus accredited would be the only person entitled lo make representations on behalf of members of his union employed by the employer and the employer representative thus accredited would be responsible for dealing with matters raised by the union job representative: Provided that these arrangements would not restrict an employer or a duly authorised official of an employers organisation or a duly authorised official of a union making representations to each other. [More…]
The accredited union job representative and employer representative should make themselves available for consultation as required under the procedures. [More…]
The accredited union job representative should discuss any matter affecting the employees he represents wilh the foreman or supervisor in charge of the work. [More…]
If the matter is not resolved at this level the union job representative should ask for the matter to be referred to the employer’s representative nominated under (e), above, who shall arrange a conference to discuss the matter. [More…]
II the matter is not resolved at (he conference convened under paragraph (h), the union representative shall advise the appropriate local official of the union he represents of the matter in issue and a conference on the matter will be arranged to be attended by such official or officials and the union job representative concerned as the union may decide and by the designated employer’s representative and such other representatives of the employer, including his Association, as the employer may decide. [More…]
I now take the case of the Building Workers Industrial Union v. Clements Langford Ltd. A union representative had been dismissed for informing the timekeeper that he was leaving the job for a short time, on the ground that his action was contrary to a company rule that no employee must leave a job without the permission of the foreman. [More…]
The company went on to claim that the union representative had abused the foreman. [More…]
The union told Commissioner Findlay that its representative had been provoked into using bad language by the foreman and that, as a union representative, he had been deliberately victimised by the company. [More…]
In giving his decision the Commissioner stated that as the union representative had absented himself without proper authority his dismissal was justified. [More…]
Always the employer can sieze upon a misdemeanour on the part of a union representative and close his eyes to the same sort of thing happening all round the factory. [More…]
1 could give many more similar cases of where a commission or a chairman of the Board had pleaded lack of power or indicated lack of inclination to take all steps necessary to prevent victimisation of a union delegate, shop steward or job representative. [More…]
Was it in accordance with the Government’s policy to issue Australian passports after the Southern Rhodesian Unilateral Declaration of Independence (a) on 23 June 1967 to Mr Stan O’Donnell, described by the Southern Rhodesian regime as its Secretary of External Affairs, (b) on 6 December 1967 to Lieutenant-Colonel William M.Knox, appointed by the regime as its diplomatic representative in Portugal and (c) on 13 August 1968 to Air Vice-Marshal Hawkins, serving as commander of the Southern Rhodesian Air Force.

A representative of the PostmasterGeneral’s Department has now advised us that without a great deal of expense - far less than was thought previously - we can increase substantially the power of the Phnom Penh radio station and that the stations in the north of South Vietnam and 1 other station, the locale of which I cannot name, will give, we hope, ever so much wider coverage than was previously thought to be possible. [More…]
However until both chambers of the Parliament exercise their constitutional power to give representation in the Senate to the 2 territories there can be no participation in the Senate by any representative of either of the territories. [More…]
Full voting rights for the representative of the Northern Territory in the House of Representatives - [More…]
Accordingly, in the case of a Territory it seems clear that the Parliament may, if it thinks fit, allow representation in the Senate by a representative or representatives who, although able to take their places and speak in the chamber, would not be senators in the true sense or be entitled to vote, except perhaps in a restricted way. [More…]
Again, let us look at the proportion of Federal representatives to electoral population in the States. [More…]
In New South Wales with 2,468,181 electors there are 45 members of the House of Representatives and 10 senators. [More…]
That is, 1 Federal representative for each 44,876 electors on an average. [More…]
If there were 2 senators each for the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory in addition to the present member of the House of Representatives for each such Territory, the proportion of representatives to electoral population on the latest enrolment figures would be 1 to 21,795 in the Australian Capital Territory and 1 to 7,651 in the Northern Territory. [More…]
The Opposition is of the opinion that if the representative in this House of the Northern Territory has these qualities they are exceedingly well hidden. [More…]
When the honourable member for the Australian Capital Territory speaks for the first time in this House in a few moments honourable members will see how knowledgeable the people of the Australian Capital Territory were about the qualities of their representative. [More…]
At the same time it will enable the electors of the Northern Territory to judge whether their representative is capable of doing the job himself, which, as all honourable members know, is open to grave doubts, or whether he needs assistance. [More…]
But this is not because there has been an Australian Capital Territory representative there. [More…]
They have no representative in the other place. [More…]
If Territory ordinances are to be debated properly in the Senate then the people of the Australian Capital Territory and of the Northern Territory must have representatives there. [More…]
They must have representatives whom they can ring and to whom they can say: ‘Look, this is wrong. [More…]
At the moment there is no representative. [More…]
On matters of defence it would want its representative in the Senate to be heard, lt has no representative there. [More…]
My third reason is that, having listened to the excellent advocacy of the representative of the Austraiian Capital Territory, I wish to speak on behalf of the people of the Northern Territory if the honourable member for the Northern Territory will not speak for them. [More…]
He has refused to rise in his place and say a few words such as those he uttered from his electoral platform about a matter which affects the people of the Northern Territory who elected him to sit as their representative in this Parliament. [More…]
I believe it is reasonable to assume that the services will be much more representative of the Department as a whole in its origins and education. [More…]
They recognised that all these things were happening and that, above all, the situation had arisen where there was, on the one hand, the Prime Minister - a charismatic man like Pierre Trudeau - and, on the other band, the public at large and the Parliament, which used to be the representative of the people - this intermediary - was ceasing to matter. [More…]
Similarly, when, a year ago, the International Grains Arrangement was close to failure in providing stability of competition in wheat in world markets, the Community was the only exporter member which sent a representative to a conference without any authority to enter into commitments. [More…]
What we have done, of course, is to allow the party system to prevail over the common sense, ethics or legality of representative government. [More…]
A man cannot be a part time representative in this Parliament, and no-one can be a part time representative in any other parliament, if he is to do his job effectively. [More…]

Consequently an Australian representative has visited at frequent intervals in order to see whether he has been properly treated, whether he has any complaints to make and whether we can do anything to ensure that his conditions are better. [More…]

Perhaps when the trees in the Murrumbidgee area get a little older and the oranges a little rougher - and, indeed, when their Federal representative gets a little rougher - they might improve out of all knowledge. [More…]
I claim to have some knowledge of New Guinea, having served there during the war and having been back on a number of occasions, including 3 visits as a representative of the Government at Anzac Day services. [More…]

At the conclusion of his service he was one of the personal air crew of the representative of the Australian Chief of Staff at General MacArthur’s Headquarters. [More…]
Did any discussions take place at the recent conference between the Commonwealth, the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the National Employers Policy Committee as to whether an accredited job representative should be granted the necessary time off without loss of pay to (a) attend the enrolment of employees eligible to become members of his union (b) communicate with the full-time officials of his organisation whenever such communication becomes necessary during working hours (c) discuss grievances with fellow employees on the job during working hours and (d) communicate and discuss complaints with management during working hours. [More…]
Is it essential that an accredited job representative should be free to state fearlessly the views and grievances of those whom he represents without even the slightest possibility of suffering victimisation. [More…]
If so, will he consider amending the Act in such a way as to prohibit the dismissal of an accredited job representative for any reason which may be related to his union position, with the provision that where a dismissal of a job representative takes place, the onus should be on the employer to prove that the dismissal was not directly or indirectly due to his activities as a job representative. [More…]

The honourable member for Sturt referred, if my memory serves me correctly, to a statement made by a representative of the building trade in South Australia, who said that the figures in that State were below the 1961 figures. [More…]
One member I know happens to be a good representative. [More…]
To get some first class representatives the Government should consider a salary of about $7,000 a year plus a Federal members authority system similar to that which we have. [More…]
The type of committee that would be set up that way, widely representative, uncommitted, with first hand knowledge of the scheme, would have been well qualified to bring down a report that would have been invaluable to the Minister and the Government, whatever its political colour; on which the future programme of migration might be based. [More…]
Preliminary work has commenced on problems regarding source material from which to draw a representative cross-section of settlers, on topics to be studied in co-ordination with governmental and other authorities. [More…]

Assuming that from 1st January 1972 the figure of 26,000 females employed in equal pay categories is a representative figure, and that all of these females are in receipt of adult rates of pay, the maximum annual cost of the equal pay decision in a full year would be in the vicinity of $11m.

The report and recommendations of the Advisory Committee of the Wool Board were presented to the Government by representatives of the industry in July of this year The Government decided that it would be desirable to have an independent assessment made of the proposal by a highly qualified person who could also fill in the details of the broad principles recommended by the Advisory Committee.

Being ‘all for Australia’ I called in a representative of one of our largest manufacturers of textiles and an offshoot of an overseas textile company and asked him to bring us the full range of woolen fabrics suitable for exclusive women’s wear. [More…]
On asking the representative why this firm still carried a range of colours of die 1920s which lacked the subtlety of the soft colours and the excitement of the glorious sharp colours the overseas mills were able to produce, I was told ‘Well, we can sell all we need in this range so why should we bother our heads to change?’! [More…]
It is only in comparatively recent times that any representative of the wool areas could make that claim. [More…]

31 JulyDecember 1954, was the full text of the United States representative’s speech at the 21st July 1954 meeting of the Geneva Conference on IndoChina. [More…]

Mr H. Gullett, the association’s Canberra representative, said such a price fall had been ‘precisely what had happened’. [More…]
I suppose one might as well note the new trend which is now developing within universities for the students not to want separate student representation but for them to want the whole university to be regarded as one corporate body and for the students to be electing the staff representatives in conjunction with the staff and the staff to be electing the student representatives in conjunction with the students. [More…]
But it is a new trend within the National Union of Australian University Students and within student representative councils. [More…]
That, to me, can be done by one person - the president of the students representative council or whatever the equivalent may be. [More…]
Perhaps you might like to shore him up to some extent and have a second representative. [More…]
It is of course true to say that it would perhaps be given more direct attention and more direct interest would be created in the 2 chambers of this Parliament if they were represented specifically on the council and of course it may also be true that, if there were direct representatives from the community of the Australian Capital Territory as such on that body, again this might be a further advance. [More…]
But at the same time one would imagine that all those people at present provided for will see themselves as members of the ACT community and there may be a very fine line indeed in deciding who in fact is the more representative type of person coming out of the ACT on to the governing body of the Canberra College of Advanced Education. [More…]
For example, the Sydney University has on its controlling body 10 representatives of the graduates, 3 of the fellows, the Vice-Chancellor of the time, 5 representatives of the teaching staff, 1 representative of the undergraduates, and so on. [More…]
However, the Swinburne College of Technology, which is a very high-powered institution, does not have student representatives on the College council. [More…]
We on this side of the House ask the Government to go one step further and encourage this trend so that greater fulfilment and greater representation can be achieved between the colleges and outside bodies, members of Parliament, and indeed representative interests in the community - commerce, industry, staff, scholastic bodies and other interested bodies - so there can be this interchange of ideas that we have traditionally tended to associate with universities. [More…]
Of the seven only one is a departmental representative. [More…]
If this amendment were adopted it would mean that there would be an election to be prescribed by regulation and conducted presumably amongst the general body of electors in Canberra to select these 3 representatives. [More…]
There is also Dr Waterhouse who is the representative from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and who again is well known in that particular sphere. [More…]
The people of Canberra would not recognise professors, with all due respect, as being typical or representative of the. [More…]
Yet, another reason or reasons have been found not to accept representatives of the local community. [More…]
The Minister was concerned about the cost that would be involved in electing community representatives to the Council. [More…]
For instance, the election of community representatives to the Council could be run in conjunction with the election of members to the Canberra Community Hospital Board or the Advisory Council. [More…]
We are suggesting that community representatives should be members of the Council because they would enrich the advice that would be coming to that body. [More…]
The advice would be much more representative. [More…]
I make a sincere appeal to the AttorneyGeneral, as the representative of the Prime Minister in the House tonight, to take to the Prime Minister the plea thatI have made on behalf of a lot of people - not one Party or another - who are in trouble and ask that the applications be dealt with as urgently as possible so that the work of this Board can be revitalised. [More…]
It was as a representative of the Country Party that I stood for Parliament, that I went into the Cabinet, that I am Deputy Prime Minister, and I am never unconscious of the fact that the Country Party is the basis of all that I am and have been. [More…]
I am aware that the Students’ Representative Council expects the university to grow to an enrolment of 10,000, but no intimation of ultimate size has yet been given me by loose who will plan the development of the new university or by the State Government. [More…]
Therefore,’ she carried with her a great capacity and integrity and was a representative of Australian womanhood. [More…]
The University Council also recommended a further undergraduate representative, but the Government believes that having regard to the nature and composition of the Council and its methods of operation, the measures it proposes will provide adequate representation for undergraduate students. [More…]
For the year my son was the only representative on the Senate of the University of Western Australia but the number being enlarged to 3 has improved the situation. [More…]
If there are a number of student representatives it tends to prevent a breakdown of communication between the governing body of the university and the student body. [More…]
However, it has made certain changes to the structure of the Council in that the undergraduate representative no longer has to be a graduate of the university. [More…]
What is more, the research students’ representative does not have to be a graduate of 2 years standing and the age of the student representative on the Council has been reduced to make it realistic that he should be an undergraduate. [More…]
I think it would be a very good thing if the Council of the Australian National University had a representative of external students on it. [More…]
Firstly, the Council had been most impressed over the years with the excellent contributions made to Council discussion by the student representatives. [More…]
These single representatives have had an increasingly difficult task to perform. [More…]
I point out that since the student representative has been on the Council student numbers have more than trebled, with a similar proliferation of the clubs, societies and sporting bodies which he alone represents. [More…]
In view of the increasing burden being placed on the student representative and because the Students Association felt it should have a voice, some years ago the Council invited the President of the Students Association to attend Council meetings and to speak if necessary. [More…]
Certainly an additional student representative would not alter unduly the balance nor would it lead to a student takeover. [More…]
Tn fact, quite frequently Council changes its view in the light of representations properly made and properly argued by student representatives. [More…]
It should be remembered that the person holding the position of President of the Students Association is, in fact, elected to that position, so in one sense the elected student representative membership has been increased to two. [More…]
Many of them are active members of political institutions yet, in respect of the simple issue of their having some effective say and representation on the bodies which control their own future, they are not to be trusted with more than one representative in 30 or 40. [More…]
The Flinders University will have 1 representative - a big advance. [More…]
Other universities such as New England, New South Wales and so on have single representatives. [More…]
said earlier that Australia has been more conservative in this aspect than have representative bodies overseas. [More…]
In fact, a couple of representatives of the nature proposed in the legislation is almost non-existent representation. [More…]
Therefore, participation in a representative capacity is more than just where it fits into the academic scheme. [More…]
They enable that Council officially, formally and with due writing to transmit through the student body representative or representatives the reasons for certain decisions being taken and so on. [More…]
There has not been any suggestion either in this legislation or by the people who so far have spoken to the Bill that any attempt should be made to have the student body in such a situation that its representatives were remotely in a position to out-vote for example the professorial nominated members, the GovernorGeneral’s nominees, the Convocation’s nominees and so on. [More…]
The acceptance of an extra undergraduate representative in no way would have made any difference to that situation. [More…]
Tn fact, it could be said that the views of the students would be represented adequately by, let us say, the president of their representative council or whatever it is called. [More…]
It therefore seems to me that much the more important additions really in terms of practical academics is the adding of sub-professorial representatives. [More…]
There is no case to answer about having any very substantial student representation, although it would have been a nice sop or, even better than that, perhaps a nice acquiescence if in fact the Government or the Minister had not seen fit to drop one undergraduate representative from the Council. [More…]
I wonder whether the honourable member for Denison had in his mind some picture that with one more student representative on the Council the numbers would be completely the way of the students. [More…]
Some of the larger universities including the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales and the University of Queensland, have only 1 student representative. [More…]
A number of the smaller ones also have only 1 representative. [More…]
Those universities have I student representative. [More…]
lt is true that there are 2 universities which have 2 student representatives on their governing bodies. [More…]
There are 3 which have 3 student representatives. [More…]
I think that one honourable member suggested that La Trobe University had 4 undergraduate representatives. [More…]
It has 3 undergraduate representatives plus 1 graduate representative. [More…]
As we are not including the graduate representative in our discussion of the Australian National University the comparison is 3 as against 2. [More…]
This is the picture in Australia and I think that this amendment to the Act in fact very greatly liberalises the position in the Australian National University, not only in increasing the number of student representatives from 1 to 2 but also in reducing the age from 21 years to 18 years, in providing that graduates do not have to be of 2. years standing but may be elected immediately on graduation and so on. [More…]
Did he receive a deputation from a representative group of Maltese earlier this year and at the time state that he hoped to introduce some aspects of a reciprocal agreement on social services with Malta. [More…]
The pensioner may be told to return in 4 months time when the Trevor Henderson’s representative will be there. [More…]
Although some pensioners have told me differently, most of the pensioners to whom I have spoken say that when the lenses that they require have been established the representative of Trevor Henderson then opens a port to show them a variety of frames. [More…]
I do not know why pensioners in cities like Townsville, Rockhampton and Cairns could not be treated in their own areas where optometrists and eye specialists are available rather than have to wait for the representative of Trevor Henderson to provide the spectacles. [More…]
A fundamental feature of the arrangements is that the level of assistance to be provided to the local government authorities, who of course, are representative of the landowners and other people who are most intimately affected by floodings, will depend on the amounts provided by the authorities themselves from their own resources towards the cost of flood mitigation works. [More…]
lt is time he had enough sense also to realise that it is not so much the increase in the price of wool that ought to be concerning his mind as a so-called representative of a rural electorate; what he should be considering is a greater percentage to the producers. [More…]

[More…]

1 say that for these reasons: The Board of Management of the Institute will be composed of persons equally representative of Commonwealth and State interests. [More…]
It is clear enough, I would think, that those members of the Board who are appointed by the Attorney-General will be broadly representative of the national interest. [More…]
The other 6 members of this 7 member Council will be representative of the respective States. [More…]
The Bill contains ample machinery for views that may be held by State governments or State parliaments to be put before the board of management of the Institute through the State representatives on the board. [More…]
He asked me what I would have in mind in appointing members of the board of management of the Institute who will be representative of the national interest, I have no fixed ideas on this subject. [More…]

Did he raise the matter with any such representative? [More…]
I would consider that I would be failing in my duty as a South Australian representative in this Parliament if I once again did not take the opportunity, which was earlier denied me, to condemn the Government for its shortsightedness and its almost inhuman act in introducing this Bill, the provisions of which are tantamount to saying to the companies which will be effected: ‘You have served our purpose. [More…]
My personal belief is that we must try to produce a system in which the representative of the people of Wills has some say in the executive authority of the nation in the same way as the representative of the people of Lowe has. [More…]
Does the Acting Prime Minister regard as correct the implication, or suggestion, reported as having been made by the Chairman of Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd that the downturn in demand for steel is representative of secondary industry generally? [More…]
We have the almost incomprehensible position where recently a representative of the Australian Government in the United States virtually chided the American Government because of the liberal policy it was pursuing on the question of China, and he was virtually telling the United States Government that American policy on China must change if the United States wanted the Liberal Party to be preserved in power in Australia. [More…]
He is establishing himself not as the representative of the bulk of the people in his electorate but as the representative of a small, militant section which is itself not even representative of the trade unions. [More…]
The numbers of our representatives there are fairly small and the work load is very great. [More…]
Perhaps this matter would more appropriately bc raised when discussing the estimates of the Department of Trade and Industry, but I would like to say that our trade representative in the office of the High Commissioner at Nairobi handles trade matters for the whole of Africa, apart from white South Africa and Rhodesia. [More…]
But the Government is now saddled with having previously recognised the Nationalist Chinese administration in Taiwan as being the representative of China. [More…]
To defend the United States against a Chinese Communist accusation on these lines, in a statement before the Security Council on 25th August 1950 the American representative in the United Nations, Ernest Gross, reversed his country’s policy. [More…]
At the same Press conference, however, he noted the opposing contentions of the Communists and the Nationalists to be the sole government of China and representative of the people of China and stated that representation in the international organisation need not prejudice the claims or views of either government. [More…]
On 26th July 1971 the Nationalist Ambassador to the United States, James Shen said in a television interview that the Nationalist Government was the sole legitimate representative of all China and that Taipei would not give up this claim. [More…]

I know that the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr N. H. Bowen), who is the Attorney-General’s representative in this chamber and a very cautious and clever man, is in the chamber and obviously will answer this point later. [More…]
However, I ask the representative of the Attorney-General: Is it correct that in 1971 anyone can tape record a conversation through the receiving end of a telephone and be excused from having committed any breaches of the original Act? [More…]
The management of the Association as a whole is vested in the General Council, which is representative of the branches, with headquarters in London. [More…]

If these cases that come to my attention are representative of what occurs in other electorates the heartbreak and bitterness must he compounded around Australia. [More…]
In order that we might be able to utilise the money that has been made available by the Commonwealth I ask the Minister for his assistance and the assistance of his Department in sending departmental officers to the electorate of Robertson so that they may sit down and have a talk with the Slate Parliamentary representative, the members of the Gosford and Wyong shire councils, the members of the community service clubs and also the pensioner and senior citizens organisations, so that we can get a programme under way. [More…]
What I question is that they can with any certainty believe that their amendment is any more effective or representative of what we want for those people and what they want for themselves than is the proposition which has been put forward. [More…]
As far as the whole structure of representatives, open electorates, and regional electorates and so on is concerned, the most minor of these categories gives me some little concern - it is only little - and that is the provision for special groups. [More…]
He then went personally to Schumann of France and to the German representative and said: ‘You have occupied my country. [More…]
While the Government has always encouraged the organisation of representative bodies of employers and employees and their registration under the Act and has encouraged workers to join their appropriate unions, it believes that coercive action to force people to join unions is wrong in principle. [More…]
It is too easy nowadays to victimise a shop steward, and unless a shop steward is free to have a face to face confrontation with his employer it is not possible for him to be a representative spokesman for his employees. [More…]
These results are representative of 2,180,000 full-time adult male employees whose normal hours of work are 30 or more a week and who were paid for their full normal hours of work during the survey period. [More…]
I think that honourable members would also appreciate the situation if I pointed out to the House that a representative of one of the Adelaide television stations, meeting me at the airport, asked me: ‘Do you really think that parliamentarians’ salaries increases are ready warranted in view of what went on venterday?’ [More…]
Representative for Australia and New Zealand): I hereby wish to state that I have not, at any stage of my meetings with journalists during my visits to Australia or New Zealand, criticised the Australian Government for the size of its contribution or for the freight arrangements made in connection with their generous gift of $A1m worth of rice. [More…]
I stress that we rely very much upon the advice of our representative on the spot who is an extremely able man and who acts in concert with the authorities. [More…]
Will he seek information from the United Nations Representative in Australia about the amounts which the United Nations spends in Australia and her territories as a former Minister did (Hansard, 20th October 1964, page 2130) so that he can answer question 234S which his predecessor could not answer (Hansard, 7th April 1971, page 1649). [More…]
Beyond that, as the honourable member will be aware, al the conclusion of a meeting of the National Labour Advisory Council on 21st April 1971, a statement was issued recording agreement between employer and ACTU members that representative tripartite discussion concerning the operation of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act should begin as soon as possible. [More…]
The statement also indicated that the Treasurer and the Minister for Labour and National Service acknowledged that these representative discussions should proceed though without commitment on the part of the Government to acceptance of the outcome. [More…]
In both cases the representative was the Minister for Foreign Affairs. [More…]
I point out that had it not been for the support of the Opposition the honour able member for Macarthur would not have been able to raise this issue, which is his right as a representative in this place. [More…]
How many more deaths must there be before the Australian Government feels compelled to use its good offices with the Governments of both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland to promote, on behalf of the friends of both countries, a representative constitutional convention charged with the task of formulating a political settlement. [More…]
It means a fair system of local government without gerrymanders and with representative control. [More…]
In short, the majority of Ulstermen cannot continue to see themselves as representatives of the conquerors of 1688 and, in turn, their Catholic brethren as the descendants of the conquered, to be trampled underfoot. [More…]
I can only hope that the representatives of the other parties in this Parliament will also plead for such a settlement for Ulster. [More…]
Likewise, the resort of the Prime Minister to the Embassy for counselling and advice on what he should do with regard to Vorster’s racism illustrates all too clearly that the foreign policy of Australia on this vital ma’ter was decided not by the Australian Government but by the representative of the Vorster regime in Canberra. [More…]
On 7fh September I received information from Hong Kong that the Australian trade representative there had - not the trade representative, it was a member attached to the trade representation - had interviewed Mr Kibel, who had informed him of 2 facts. [More…]
This is not a condition imposed by China or an official representative of China or a nonofficial representative of China and there is no other construction open if one reads the answer as a whole. [More…]
So persistent is this attempt to make mischief that quite recently when the Leader of the Opposition was overseas he took the trouble during a discussion with a representative of the People’s Republic of China in New York to discuss the question of wheat sales and he received from that representative an assurance that there would be no sales to China preceding recognition of China. [More…]
Should we have a committee representative of both the Senate and the House of Representatives to do almost the same thing? [More…]
We got votes of 221 to 83 in favour of the Country Party representative. [More…]
The Board which was established in 1962, comprises 10 members - the Chairman who is also the representative of the Commonwealth Government. [More…]
When they have openings of their new buildings a representative from the Commonwealth Government or the administration may come along, but the people who run these schools treat them with contempt. [More…]
I understand that the Australian Wool Board has constituted a committee which is representative of the executives of the 2 principal national producer organisations, the Australian Woolgrowers and Graziers Council and the Australian Wool and Meat Producers Federation, and that together the members of these executives through the committee are considering ways and means by which marketing change should and can be implemented. [More…]
The honourable gentleman will know that this subject has been a major element in reports by the New South Wales and Victorian committees on decentralisation, although not apparently in the report of the Commonwealth-State Officials Committee which was set up in 1964 and which does not contain a representative of bis Department. [More…]
The percentage of the work force affected by retrenchment due to technological change in fact was less than i per cent or, to be exact, 0.4 per cent of the total number in this very representative sample. [More…]
At a hearing of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works on 2nd November 1971 I asked Mr Parker, a representative of the Department of Works, the following question: [More…]
As a representative in this House of the Commonwealth Public Service organisations I have something to say on behalf of the members of those organisations whom I represent. [More…]
The Board has 10 members- 6 members representing meat producers, 2 representing meat exporters, a representative of the Commonwealth and a Chairman. [More…]
The producer representatives are not appointed as representatives of a particular sector of the industry but as representatives of persons raising cattle, sheep or lambs. [More…]
The present legislation does not include pig meats as when discussions were being held prior to the reconstitution of the Board in 1964 representatives of the pig industry declined to seek representation. [More…]
The appointment of the meat producer representatives is made by the Minister for Primary Industry from nominations received from the Australian Meat Board Selection Committee. [More…]
This Committee is a nonstatutory body comprised of 4 representatives each from the Australian Woolgrowers’ and Graziers Council and the Australian Wool and Meat Producers’ Federation and an independent Chairman. [More…]
In addition to that, the argument of the Minister for Primary Industry was torn to shreds by a representative of the Brandy Producers Association at the meeting in Berri. [More…]
If he is not able to refute statements which were made at the meeting to which I referred earlier - I am certain he will not be able to refute them - it will be clear to me that the figures which were presented to that meeting by representatives of the industries were the correct ones. [More…]
If so, was this New South Wales representative involved in a widely reported altercation over the status of his Australian passport. [More…]
The Australian representative’s statement at the last ses sion of the United Nations General Assembly on the Ceylon proposal for a Zone of Peace in the Indian Ocean outlines Australia’s views on that proposal (United Nations document No. [More…]
Coming back to the points that we have made in this debate, the provision of an advisory council to assist the Commission to be representative of the community and of educational research bodies is an important consideration. [More…]
Yet all the Minister can do is to stand up in this House and say: ‘I am right to exclude the teacher representatives from having any say in the control of this scheme. [More…]
I repeat: One Commissioner, no teaching representatives, no representatives from educational research fields, no representatives from the public and the Commission to be answerable to the Public Service Board. [More…]
Perhaps it is not totally convincing but the argument is that in current circumstances and in view of the nature of the job to be done the commissioner will with a small staff be responsible for the whole operation; that it is a small system and it is not appropriate at this stage at least to have a representative commission, in other words, to overload the apple cart and to have a heavy administrative structure to administer something which at the moment is specifically a teaching service operating for a relatively small number of teachers. [More…]
It has been strongly recommended that perhaps there ought to be a teachers’ representative on a promotions committee. [More…]
On that board there will be one elected representative of the teachers, one representative nominated by the Commissioner and an independent chairman appointed by the Minister. [More…]
This means that there will be 2 boss’s men on the promotions appeal board as against one representative of the employees. [More…]
Neither Board has an independent chairman with the consequence that the teachers’ representative has always to face the Government nominees. [More…]
Consequently there is every need for 3 commissioners of which one is a teacher representative and for an advisory council to act with the Commissioner. [More…]
I heard various honourable members talking about disciplinary action but, after all, the teachers will elect a representative to the Disciplinary Appeal Board. [More…]
The provision of an advisory council to assist the commission, this council to be representative of the community and of educational research and administrative bodies. [More…]
Such duties are not appropriate perhaps for a representative commission. [More…]
i emphasise the words ‘representative commission’. [More…]
The composition of the Appeals Board will include a teachers’ representative and a chairman appointed by the Minister. [More…]
What has been done by the Department of Labour and National Service itself to set up a channel of communication by which there can be some form of discussion, to lay down some guidelines and to establish some working groups representative of all the parties concerned and having for their purpose avoidance of the attitude that is adopted so often in an atmosphere of industrial disputation when a matter can be prolonged by one or other or a number of parties in an effort to save face. [More…]
I am the representative of the majority of Australian people; I speak up on their behalf. [More…]
They will be made aware that who occupies the Government benches really does affect them, and that the Labor Party is more representative on industrial matters. [More…]
The committee is now representative of the councils of the Blue Mountains, Penrith, Windsor, Blacktown, Colo and Baulkham Hills. [More…]
Does the Minister for Primary Industry really believe that the AWIC is truly representative of the wool growing industry? [More…]
They are fully entitled to it and they are eligible so let us not have the type of argument that we cannot get a sufficiently representative poll or that we would not know which wool growers should vote. [More…]
1 am deeply concerned, as a representative of many fine and basic studs, that in recent years, as a result of the Government’s sponsored rural recession, the studs have been in a situation which has been increasingly difficult. [More…]
The club concerned was not an Australian representative team and its visit at the direct invitation of the Singapore Basketball Association was not sponsored by the Government [More…]
All the representative groups of the dairy industry sanctioned the proposal. [More…]
I am one of the representatives of that Party in the House. [More…]
What is true - it is said that truth will come out, and it has come out this time - is that the honourable member for Hunter knowing that the Australian Country Party is the chief representative of people in far flung areas and people on the land- [More…]
It was suggested, of course, that the education commission would be representative of teachers themselves, the practitioners in the field; that it would have represented on it also parent organisations and various other interested community organisations. [More…]
I think the honourable member for Hawker (Mr Jacobi) put his finger right on the matter when he said that in this Bill the Government has failed to provide the kind of control that ought to be provided, namely, that there should be 3 commissioners one of whom would represent the teaching service thus giving teachers a professional dignity and democratic participation in the service in which they work, one representating other interested sections of the community, and a third representative appointed by the Minister for Education and Science or the Government. [More…]
TheBoard shall also consist of a representative of the union and a representative of the Commonwealth Teaching Service who could well be somebody from the authority itself - somebody who has direct concern with the school situation. [More…]
The principal objective of the amendments is to allow for changes in the method of appointing industry representatives to the Australian Honey Board. [More…]
The machinery measures envisaged in the amendments purport to make the Honey Board more effective and more representative of the honey industry in Australia, with a minimum of frustration in the operation of the Board itself. [More…]
The 5 producer representatives are to be from the mainland States, and the 4 packer represents also are to be from the mainland States other than Queensland. [More…]
I think that if one looks at the 3 arguments advanced by some State apiarists associations and by some beekeepers that no packers should be represented on the Board one finds that they are nowhere near as strong as those advanced for why there should be representatives of the marketing experts on the Board. [More…]
Which State would have a representative taken off the Board? [More…]
Would South Australia have a representative taken off? [More…]
A representative from one State would have to be removed. [More…]
It is right that I should rise in this debate as a representative of the sweetest State in the nation, if we take honey as a criterion. [More…]
However, there are one or two queries that should be put tonight to the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Sinclair) as the representative of the Government. [More…]
We find that there are 5 producer members, 4 packer representatives and one member nominated by the Commonwealth. [More…]
If the Commonwealth nominates a packer it means that there are 5 packer representatives. [More…]
In the past most producer nominees were selected by a State executive committee to be on the Honey Board as a producer representative, but in some States they were elected by the majority vote of the annual conference of the State association. [More…]
At the time when the Honey Board was established it was decided by all concerned, including the Government and the Department of Primary Industry, that Tasmania would have no representative on the Board, that producers in that State would be levied in the same way as apiarists on the mainland, but that the levy collected in Tasmania would be returned to that State. [More…]
I understand that the amendments to the Act will allow alterations to the manner in which the beekeeper representatives or the apiarists representatives are elected to the Honey Board. [More…]
As I understand the position, the changed manner of election should overcome the problems associated with selecting the best people from those States that are entitled to have a representative on the Board. [More…]
The claim that a producer’s representative is a managing director of one of the largest packing and exporting companies is to me not a particularly good and encouraging thought. [More…]
Some States have elected a producer as their representative. [More…]
The position of Ansett Airlines of Australia was made quite clear by that company’s representative in public proceedings before the Flight Crew Officers’ Industrial Tribunal. [More…]
The current concentrations of plutonium 238 in the Australian environment, which are generally representative of the southern hemisphere are between one ten thousandth and one thousandth of the International Commission on Radiological Protection levels and can in no way be considered a hazard to health. [More…]
His amendment prompted South Australian representatives in this Parliament to enter the debate and subsequently the Leader of the Opposition in the South Australian Parliament saw the opportunity of fostering the idea that Chowilla as the site for a dam was gone for good and that only the Dartmouth dam would be built. [More…]
He is a representative of that State in this Parliament and is entitled to do so. [More…]
It is true that very occasionally they may have up to several thousand, but more often then not in present times when these chain petitions are operating, petitions formally organised by particular bodies in the community - perhaps they are no less representative for that reason but they are nevertheless organised, as against voluntarily organised petitions emanating from the will of the public and untutored by any other element in the community - the average number may well be nearer 10 or 100 than a thousand, although I do not know. [More…]
They might not have been knowledgeable about seeing their representative, or one from an adjoining electorate, to put their point of view. [More…]
I do not suggest that the Committee’s recommendations are sacrosanct, but nevertheless the Committee is a representative one. [More…]
The proposition is that these petitions, formidable though they might be, representative though they might be of the average electors or of some electors, should take their rightful place in the affairs of this Parliament. [More…]
Therefore he has given me, as the representative of the Mallee electorate, a great advertisement throughout the country. [More…]
The results are representative of 2,213,000 fulltime adult male employees whose normal hours of work are 30 or more a week and who were paid for their full normal hours of work during the survey period. [More…]
I also ask him: What is the point of including a representative of the Territory’s Department of Labour in the annual delegation to the International Labour Conference which considers new conventions if such a representative is excluded from the annual meeting of the Departments of Labour Advisory Committee which considers existing conventions? [More…]
On 13th August 1968 an Australian pass; port was issued to Air Vice-Marshal Hawkins, then commander of the Rhodesian Air Force and subsequently appointed as the representative of the Smith regime to South Africa. [More…]
On 6th December 1967 an Australian passport was issued to LieutenantColonel William Knox, then Chairman of the Rhodesia Front - Mr Smith’s party - and subsequently representative of the regime in Portugal. [More…]
To refer specifically to the restraints which are imposed, only today a complaint was lodged with me by a representative of private industry who has been engaged in some work with an officer of the CSIRO in a cap/.ai city. [More…]
It is a rather peculiar form of behaviour for an allegedly democratic representative institution such as a government to refuse to tell the people or the representatives of the people the true nature of the structure of freight charges. [More…]
Establishment of a representative and expert working party on all aspects of air and water pollution. [More…]
That school happens to be situated in the electorate of Griffith of which for some years I have been the representative. [More…]
I ask: Is a representative of Japanese steel mills to visit Australia in the near future? [More…]
lt is correct that a senior representative of Nippon Steel will be in Australia for a short time. [More…]
There have been discussions already between representatives of my Department, the industry and the State departments which are concerned with Japan in relation to this matter. [More…]
The point we want to clear with the representative of Nippon Steel, which is the collective buyer for the iron ore and coal resources, is in relation to the minus area of the various long term contracts. [More…]
Take the western suburbs of Altona, Williamstown, Footscray, Sunshine and Keilor whose 1968 population was 227,000 and then take as a representative eastern suburbs block, Camberwell, Hawthorn, Kew and Malvern whose 1968 population figure was 220,000. [More…]
It would truly be a representative democracy. [More…]
No-one could convince me that that is truly representative democracy. [More…]
Once again, however, I must make the point that no matter whether it be a full-time official or a job representative, the person who speaks for the union must not have the reputation of being a ‘boss’s man’. [More…]
I would like to make this suggestion: I believe that a commission, perhaps a royal commission, of the highest possible competence, spread right across the board, representative of employer organisations, the trade union movement and all interests should be established to examine the whole structure of conciliation and arbitration in Australia. [More…]
Apart from being an effort to reward them for services rendered to the Government, is this Bill not a sop to the strong investment lobby, other political groups and all those whose one fanatical desire is to prevent a truly community representative government, a Labor government? [More…]
The point is whether the honourable member can carry out his responsibilities to the House of Representatives Select Committee on Road Safety, The House of Representatives Select Committee on Wildlife Conservation and the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory as well as his responsibilities as chief Government Whip and go overseas as the Prime Minister’s representative to an environment conference in Vienna in the near future. [More…]
I will refer to an article published in the issue of 20th October 1971 where, similarly, Mr Justice Aird in relation to a flow-on case from the metal trades award heard in July and August of last year was trying to pin down the Government’s representative, a Mr Marks, Q.C, as to exactly what his submission was and how it compared with prior submissions by the Government. [More…]
On several occasions I have been involved in such situations where the union, having failed to reach a satisfactory agreement with the employer, has served a log of claims which in turn has been passed on to the employers’ federation, as the employers’ representative, to handle. [More…]
The representatives of the employers would give a little and the representatives of the employees would do likewise. [More…]
1 would not budge and their representative would not budge. [More…]
But if he refuses to attend because the members of his union have said that there is no point in trying to achieve a compromise on a particular issue that person - the trade union secretary or a representative of the union - would immediately be penalised $1,000. [More…]
If you accept the principle of having compulsory conferences and giving to a conciliation commissioner the power to call a compulsory conference, surely we must give the commissioner the right to say: ‘I want such and such an organisation here or the representative who has been intimately concerned with this matter and I want Mr So-and-so who is the president or the secretary of a particular union.’ [More…]
Does it follow that where 2 representative interests - employer and employee - who have struck a bargain, who have reached an agreement and have had someone else, either a commissioner or some outside intervener, come along and say that it is not in the public interest that these people should be allowed to give expression to their agreement, the right of appeal should be restricted to one of the parties? [More…]
As I understand it the Cabinet does not have any representative from Tasmania, Western Australia or South Australia. [More…]
It becomes an offence for an employee’s representative or a union representative to incite people to strike or for him to advocate a strike, and is punishable under section 138 of the Act. [More…]
The latest and perhaps most glaring example of that is that some 2 or 3 years ago the court agreed with a submission by Mr Robinson, who was the employers representative at that time, that the national economy, which was being ostensibly considered then, would be better off with a national wage and that there should be no longer the structure which we knew and which seemed to serve the purpose so well of a basic wage and a margin for skill. [More…]
The traditional apathy of big memberships poses the question also of ‘what percentage of returned ballots could be considered ‘ a Representative expression of opinion. [More…]
Did the Public Service Board representative, Mr W. P. Butler, when giving evidence before the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory at its inquiry into employment opportunities say that the Public Service Board has registered for employment quite a number of school leavers, many of whom, at least, would have been employed by the Service had there not been a reduction in recruitment. [More…]
The United States of America ‘Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971’ limits the amount a candidate or his immediate family may contribute to his own campaign to $50,000 for President or Vice President, $35,000 for Senator and $25,000 for Representative. [More…]
The limitation applies to all candidates for President and Vice President, Senator and Representative and will be determined annually for the geographical area of each election. [More…]
It is expected that the Council’s membership will be representative of all export commodities which have formed the basis of existing shipper bodies. [More…]
We believe that an institute such as this should be representative of the learned bodies associated with this particular field of science. [More…]
The facts are that there is a direct representative responsibility imposed upon this Parliament which also ought to be carried into instumentalities which carry out the Parliament’s intentions. [More…]
We have acknowledged the fact that Parliament whether it be the Commonwealth Parliament or a State parliament because it is taking an important step in setting up such an Australian institute, should have as representatives upon it, as it does with other institutions, members of Parliament who need the knowledge to put forward arguments for the institutes both in this House and outside it, and to understand what is . [More…]
I accept that the Minister may have a different view, but I think he should be persuaded by the arguments adduced to increase representation on the council so that it will be a truly representative council and the truly effective Australian Institute of Marine Science. [More…]
This particular sample, from what is said in the survey, could hardly be representative, because the Overseas Students Service itself, supported by Government funds, is one of the bodies that is supposed to give welfare counselling to students. [More…]
To select any particular company and say that that is representative of the whole area of industry, trade and commerce in Australia is, of course, quite inaccurate in a logical way, but more importantly it discloses a willingness at any time to attack private enterprise; and it needs to be clear that it ls a willingness to attack private enterprise. [More…]
There were 3 or 4 matters that I would have liked to raise today - the question of Aborigines, the failure of the Government to do anything about attempting to produce a ceasefire in Vietnam and the occupation of this place in a short time by SEATO representatives. [More…]
If somebody would come with me I would start a campaign in Toowoomba to let the people of his electorate know what he is doing to the parliamentary institution, which belongs to them and which he is reducing to a complete and absolute failure as a representative legislative democratic institution. [More…]
What I said was that the way in which the Minister conducted the proceedings of the House was leading to its destruction as a representative institution and that was disgraceful. [More…]
I say quite bluntly that the authorities concerned in the Bill are much more representative and much more authoritative than those which the honourable member suggests. [More…]
These young men, aged between 20 and 30, were Canadian nationals who visited Australia as members of the Trojan Rugby Union, playing a series of matches against club and representative sides including the Brisbane Waters Rugby Union Club. [More…]
A meeting of a representative group of young Peruvian senoritas and Australians who have been trying to help them took place in Sydney recently. [More…]
I am grateful to the Minister for Immigration for being here tonight to listen to the report compiled after a full and extensive discussion of the problem with a representative cross-section of the girls concerned. [More…]
To suggest that this is an area of extreme poverty and a problem area or, as one newspaper suggested, a slum area creates a great deal of resentment amongst the people living there, and myself as their representative. [More…]
I think it is time that the Minister in charge really looked at this question if he wants to run the Parliament as a representative sample for the community. [More…]
The United States has committees representative of both the Congress and the Senate. [More…]
lt is very interesting to note that the Standing Public Works Committee of the United States Senate has a staff of 31 personnel and that the United States House of Representatives Public Works Committee has no fewer than 23 personnel. [More…]
Each of the 6 States has named its representative on the Council of the Institute of Criminology but the new Tasmanian Attorney-General has been asked whether he would wish to review the name put forward by his predecessor. [More…]
But I believe it is wrong that the Government has not given consideration to allowing a representative of the alternative government of this country to attend that [More…]
I think the Government should permit a representative of the Opposition to attend that important Conference. [More…]

She was probably hovering around making sure that the oil company representative did not move away from this area. [More…]

My attitude as an elected representative is that the electoral rights of people of Australia are paramount and these must receive proper consideration if we are to suggest that the electoral system of this nation is a democratic one. [More…]
This has been permitted to occur for far too long and, as a representative of a city electorate, I believe that this unfair practice must cease. [More…]
The City of Brisbane Act was amended by the Country Party Premier of Queensland - a party that does not have one representative in the metropolitan area of Brisbane - to defeat the Jones administration, an Australian Labor Parry administration. [More…]
On the information available to us it appears that the Government intends to gag 17 members on this side of the House who wish to speak on a matter of quite fundamental importance to the future of this Parliament and representative democracy in Australia. [More…]
It is conceivable that the report which the ASIO representative made and which I quoted was inaccurate. [More…]
It is possible that the ASIO representative misunderstood or misinterpreted what was said by the representative of the Attorney-General’s Department and/ or what was said by the representatives of the Foreign Affairs Department. [More…]
However, if the report was not an accurate one or if it is the case that an ASIO representative misunderstood or misinterpreted the proceedings at the meeting, there is also a great deal of concern, surely, not only among members of the Parliament but also among members of the public. [More…]
But I do not make assertions or assumptions about malevolence or incompetence of ASIO representatives or about a conspiracy between members of the Public Service from different departments or in any one department. [More…]
Since there were only a small group present on 2nd March at the departmental and agencies meeting which was allegedly plotting against the Government, why has it taken more than 2 weeks to ascertain whether or not a one-sentence report of a single decision recorded by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation representative was accurate? [More…]
I do not wish to state whether I accept the accuracy of the version given by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation representative concerning the points put by the representative of the Department of Foreign Affairs. [More…]
I quote a statement by a representative of the United Kingdom Chamber of Shipping which appeared in the ‘Australian’ of 1st March. [More…]
The needs pf our country people, who include not only those on the land but the people and the workers in our country towns and provincial cities have needs and opinions which can be expressed only in Parliament through the voice of their chosen representative, to whatever party he belongs. [More…]
The Westminster system of government is meant to be both representative and responsible. [More…]
Not only must this Parliament be representative by observing equal electorate representation so that urban, country and fringe areas are represented equally, and so that socioeconomic groupings are represented equally, but it must guarantee that as far as practicable one man’s vote is equal to the vote of any other man, no matter where he lives. [More…]
How can this Government expect a properly representative voice in this the Australian Parliament if almost half the members come from 2 cities? [More…]
The inquiries show that the ASIO representative gave, in what was admittedly an internal minute, a wrong report of what was said by the officer of the Department of Foreign Affairs and that as a consequence he wrongly represented the remarks of officers of the AttorneyGeneral’s Department. [More…]
I quoted for the first time from the report by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation representative at the interdepartmental meeting on 2nd March. [More…]
The Yugoslav representative had repeated- [More…]
So the position is that the Australian Capital Territory with a population of over 160,000 has one representative in government. [More…]
This is important because, apart from the representative in this Parliament, it will be the only place where the public can come, where information can be gathered and presented in the form of a document and where progress can be made. [More…]
He said he had decided to recommend to Cabinet the establishment of a representative committee to draw up a uniform code of safety standards for adoption by all the departments. [More…]
I could not notice the name of any representative of rural interests listed as a member of that task force. [More…]
To cap it all off we had the announcement of the Prime Minister in this House yesterday that while the Minister for Primary Industry is overseas his representative will be Senator Cavanagh. [More…]
Above all we need to inquire into the question of why one man - one ASIO representative^ - has been made a scapegoat for this affair. [More…]
I also suggest that the relevant ILO Convention dealing with safety be referred to the representative committee envisaged by the Minister in his second reading speech. [More…]
Is it a fact, as alleged on ‘Federal File’ that the ASIO representative at the interdepartmental meeting on 2nd March is not a public servant? [More…]
After all this time the values, the philosophy and the sensitivity of conservative representative bodies in this Parliament has not changed at all. [More…]
The fact that no union representative was included on the Woo] Corporation is witness to the callous approach to the problems associated with this situation. [More…]
For instance, we shall be introducing amendments to the Commonwealth Grants Commission Act to give local government bodies direct access to the Commission, and we are also committed to seek the agreement of the States to amend the Financial Agreement so that local government aldermen and councillors in each State can elect a representative to speak and vote for them on the Loan Council. [More…]
These were discussions between finance ministers and treasurers of a representative group of countries known as the Committee of Twenty. [More…]
The ILO is unique in the international community because it is the only organisation in which representatives of workers and employers participate on an equal footing with those of governments in policy formulation and decision-making. [More…]
This tripartite composition ensures that the ILO is widely representative of each country and that its work is clearly established in, and focussed on, the human and social problems of the people of the. [More…]
The chairmanship is with a Govenment representative. [More…]
Sir Arthur was a man for whom all Australians had deep respect and of whom we can justly feel proud as a representative of all that is best in Australia and its people. [More…]
The other document to which he refers is the document of 5th March by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation representative at the interdepartmental committee meeting in Canberra. [More…]
If any person whom Australia regards as an Australian citizen is merely arrested in another country then any Australian Government should take the attitude that the Australian representative in that country should be promptly informed. [More…]
He made it clear that his concern is not for the fact that 3 men were executed on the say so of a communist government but merely that those men did not have access to Australia’s representative in Yugoslavia. [More…]
There should also have been a most serious complaint about the attitude of the representative of the Yugoslav Government in Australia - the Yugoslav Ambassador. [More…]
In a case involving the lives of Australian citizens the representative of the Yugoslav Government did not go to the Prime Minister, did not go to the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister (Senator Willesee) and did not go. [More…]
This is no way for a sovereign government to be treated by the representative of another country when the lives of Australians are at stake. [More…]
1 then informed the representatives of the Yugoslav Government that I would give the matter consideration and if it was practicable J might be able to make the visit. [More…]
At the same time, naturally, as a matter of goodwill, I said that if it was ever possible for a representative of the Yugoslav Government to come to Australia we would like him to come. [More…]
The surveys are based on a relatively small sample and may not necessarily be representative of the actual range of incomes in the branches concerned, particularly in the case of some specialities where very few examples were available. [More…]
The honourable member may be interested to know that there is an Aboriginal representative on the Commission as well. [More…]
In mitigation of the lack of consideration previously shown 1 think it is fair to say that the majority of sufferers from this handicap would find an approach to their parliamentary representative a little too embarrassing. [More…]
On Monday last a dinner was held for this celebration at which the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence was invited, as the leading representative of the Government, to make the main speech of welcome to the visiting astronaut and to address the guests. [More…]
Regrettably, in many instances excess expenses are involved for students in that area who are not in a position to have a regular income for charges other than tuition fees such as fees for the membership of the Students Representative Council, the Sports Union and all the other many organisations which are part of university life. [More…]
This means that in future the Immigration Planning Council will have a representative at the most senior level, I repeat, from the Department of Urban and Regional Development. [More…]
If one thinks of negotiation one will start thinking about the people on the factory floor, on the job, negotiating directly with their employer or his representative. [More…]
Making an agreement in a board room with the employers’ representatives is one thing, but getting the members to honour the agreement outside is another thing, as union officials and management have often learned to their dismay. [More…]
The union representative is their agent and he has, in my view, every obligation to consult his principals on the kind of agreement that he ought to make on their behalf. [More…]
We expect leadership from the Government, which the Minister says is promoting harmonious relations by the protection given in this measure to union representatives. [More…]
A union representative may say to an employer: ‘Unless you force every one of your people in this shop to become members of a particular union we will take all the workers out on strike. [More…]
We can get the information from the representative of the Department of Works, not from the Post Office, which is not associated with the matter. [More…]
Yugoslav diplomatic or consular representative to visit and to communicate with the Yugoslav citizen taken into custody. [More…]
We have a trade union representative in the advisory committee. [More…]
I think it is important to realise that the sort of person who is usually appointed to commissions and advisory committees, because of his training and because he is able to express himself better than the average citizen living in the area concerned, is not really representative of the citizens in the area even if he lives there himself, and in the majority of cases he does not even live in the area. [More…]
The ILO is unique in the international community because it is the only organisation in which representatives of workers and employers participate on an equal footing with those of governments in policy formulation and decision-making. [More…]
This tripartite composition ensures that the ILO is widely representative of each country and that its work is clearly established in, and focussed on, the human and social problems of the people of the world and the real improvement of their life. [More…]
The Minister for Labour (Mr Clyde Cameron) will go to Geneva in June as Australia’s representative. [More…]
For the first time in the history of the Australian Parliament an official representative of the Opposition will be attending the ILO conference this year. [More…]
The investigatory committee consisted of officers of the Treasury, members of the Superannuation Board, the Government Actuary and, if my memory is correct, a representative of the Public Service Board was later added to the committee. [More…]
One other point I would like to make is that, in line with the Labor policy of jobs for the boys, provision is to be made for a trade union representative to be one of the 5 members of the Authority. [More…]
Very few people will be working on the pipeline after it is completed; so why have a trade union representative? [More…]
For that reason I believe that the Secretary should not be the representative of the Department of Minerals and Energy, but that some other civil servant within that Department should be. [More…]
Of those 3, one is to be a trade union representative and one is to be the secretary of the Department of Minerals and Energy. [More…]
1 mention, firstly, the need in a representative parliamentary democracy of this character, which this Parliament represents in Australia, to keep it the major forum for political debate and discussion in this country. [More…]
For that reason and because these are windfalls, I say that all Australians have an equal right and I, as a representative of an electorate in New South Wales want to put forward the rights of the people in my electorate and the rights of the people of New South Wales. [More…]
At a meeting held last Monday the steering committee agreed to recommend to the convention that local government be given direct representation consisting of 3 representatives from each State, 2 from the Northern Territory and one from the Australian Capital Territory and that representatives from each State should include one representative of the capital of the State. [More…]
The steering committee decided further that the representatives be nominated by local government, but that the method of selecting the 3 representatives from local government in each State would be left to the parliamentary delegation from that State. [More…]
The point was that the parliamentary delegates from each State should decide who to ask to select the representatives of local government, not that the parliamentary delegates themselves would choose those representatives. [More…]
The State member’s charge against me cannot be sustained but is exposed for what it is - a political action designed to discredit me as the Labor Federal representative for La Trobe and to enhance his own electoral prospects at the Victorian State election to be held this Saturday. [More…]
The National Committee on Discrimination in Employment will be organised on a tripartite basis and comprise an independent chairman and other representatives appointed by the Government plus one representative of employers and one of the trade unions. [More…]
I have already asked the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the Associated Chambers of Manufactures and the Australian Council of Employers’ Federations jointly on the employer side to nominate their representatives. [More…]
The ILO convention is concerned with specific grounds of discrimination in employment, but it makes provision for extension after consultation with representative employer and worker organisations and with other appropriate bodies, into other areas where abolition of discrimination might be pursued, for example, discrimination in employment on the ground of age. [More…]
The State committees will be organised on a tripartite basis with an independent chairman, 2 government representatives, and one trade union and one employer representative. [More…]
One of the 2 government representatives will be nominated by the State government concerned and the other will be nominated by the Australian Government. [More…]
The purpose of this Bill is to provide for an additional representative for the Australian Capital Territory in the House of Representatives. [More…]
The provisions of the Bill are to (a) provide for 2 members of the House of Representatives for the Australian Capital Territory elected on the basis of single member electorates, with effect from the first sitting of the Twenty-ninth Parliament; (b) provide for full voting rights for both members for the Australian Capital Territory with all the powers, immunities and privileges held by other members of the House of Representatives; (c) divide the Australian Capital Territory into 2 single member electorates, of which one electorate shall embrace part of the Australian Capital Territory proper and the other electorate shall embrace the remaining part of the Australian Capital Territory plus the Jervis Bay territory - to be effective immediately following the expiry or dissolution of the Twenty-eighth Parliament; and, (d) provide - (i) for the setting up of a distribution committee, and (ii) for the inviting of suggestions and objections and preparation of a report to Parliament, along similar lines to that provided for the distribution of a State into electoral divisions. [More…]
Territory, with no mayor, no local government representatives and no State members means that the people are entirely dependent on their member of the Australian Parliament to a much greater extent than possibly anywhere else in the world. [More…]
Every grievance from the municipal to the national level ends up as the responsibility of their representative in the Australian Parliament. [More…]
He is the mayor, the alderman, the ombudsman and their parliamentary representative all rolled into one. [More…]
That State with a population of approximately 393,000 less than two and onehalf times that of the Australian Capital Territory with approximately 162,000, has 35 members of the House of Assembly, 9 Legislative Councillors, 10 senators and 5 members of the House of Representatives - a total of 69 parliamentary representatives plus over 500 local government representatives, whereas the Australian Capital Territory is represented most ably by a single Labor Party parliamentary representative. [More…]
Is it not strange that there is not one elected representative of either Territory in the Senate to expound the case for the local inhabitants? [More…]
It would appear then to be more democratic to have an even number elected each time for each Territory thus following the pattern of the major parties providing that each would have a representative in the Senate. [More…]
The term provided for each of these territorial senators is not 6 years, the constitutional period for state senators (except in the case of double dissolution - always likely to be on); the term for territory senators will be the life of the House of Representatives. [More…]
and (3) I am informed by the ABC that it does not keep such records but that as far as can be recalled there was no occasion during the period mentioned when the coverage of a controversial subject was prevented by the refusal of a person or representative of an organisation to be interviewed. [More…]
The Commission informs me that on one occasion the presentation of an interview for “This Day Tonight’ with the Secretary, of the Postal Clerks’ and Telegraphists’ Union was delayed because a representative of the Post Office was not available to reply to certain statements about the Post Office. [More…]
A financial formula should be agreed on between the Commonwealth and the States to provide for a Commonwealth allocation to the States of a fixed percentage of total income tax, this sum to be earmarked for local government services and to bs distributed to local government by the representative State government through the State Local Government Assistance Funds. [More…]
It was therefore only logical that we should from an early stage have examined the possibilities of bringing into existence the kind of regional community which, as I said in my speech to the Summer School of the Australian Institute of Political Science on Australia Day, would be ‘an organisation genuinely representative of the region, without ideological overtones, conceived as an initiative to help free the region of Great Power rivalries that have bedevilled its progress for decades and designed to insulate the region against ideological interference from the Great powers’. [More…]
Finally, are his officers accompanied by a representative of the IBM company and, if so, who is paying the latter’s expenses? [More…]
I am not aware that a representative of IBM is accompanying the representatives of my Department in Canada. [More…]
The representatives are in Canada largely to assess com puter processing techniques which have been developed there. [More…]
Mr Fuller, for the New South Wales Government, invited the Australian Government to appoint a representative to its consultative committee. [More…]
by leave - The honourable member for Corangamite (Mr Street) inquired at question time this morning inter alia whether a representative of IBM was accompanying officers of the Department of Social Security presently in Canada. [More…]
It is true that a representative of the IBM company has been with these officers in Canada. [More…]
The IBM representative who has been with them is a computing systems engineer and he joined them on 1 May 1973. [More…]
For example, in the mid-1960s, a representative of another computer supplier accompanied a representative or representatives of the then Department of Social Services on a visit to the United States of America when the visit was for the purpose of inspecting computer installations. [More…]
Following references in the Press to the withdrawal of a Press Gallery pass issued to Mr B. Everingham, I inform the House that Mr President and I have decided that Mr B. Everingham, the representative of radio station 2SM, will not be issued with a Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery pass for 1973. [More…]
This decision arises from an incident in November last when Mr Everingham was found to be in the suite of rooms at Parliament House of the then Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives without authority and when no members of the staff were present. [More…]
Mr President and I regard Mr Everingham’s explanations as unsatisfactory and his action in entering an unoccupied office without permission is, we consider, unacceptable conduct for a Press representative in Parliament House. [More…]
On 10 May 1973 the Minister for Northern Development (Dr Patterson), answered a question in his capacity of representative in this House of the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt). [More…]
Convention applies to an undertaking, branch of an undertaking or occupation, the question shall be determined by the competent authority after consultation with the representative organisations of employers and workers concerned where such exist. [More…]
Nevertheless, we do believe that it is right that the increase in population should in the circumstances at present existing, carry the right to an additional representative. [More…]
Although the honourable member for Parramatta (Mr N. H. Bowen) made some light talk about the burdens that all back bench politicians carry, it is worth reflecting that in the Australian Capital Territory, where there are about 180,000 people - a population increasing at about 10 per cent per annum compound - or half the population of Tasmania, there is one politician, one representative in the only body where any laws can be made affecting the people of the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
What I am concerned about is the proposal now before the House that the Senate should have representatives from the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. [More…]
The simple truth of the matter is that the honourable gentleman asked in his speech - honourable members will recall the dulcet language in which he asked this question - ‘Is it not strange that there is not one elected representative of either Territory in the Senate to expound the case for the local inhabitants?’ [More…]
I do not think there has ever been a parliamentary representative who has worked harder for a larger area or slice of Australian territory than has the honourable member for the Northern Territory. [More…]
House of Representatives in place of the existing one member. [More…]
It was in 1922 that the Northern Territory first obtained a representative here. [More…]
I do not think the honourable gentleman can impose upon us his rather odd interpretation of the meaning of these words especially when in the preceding paragraph of the Constitution the very expression extent of representation’ is included, not just the extent to which a man may be representative, but the extent of representation. [More…]
The answer is that he knows that it would not be hard for another representative to outshine him, even in the Senate. [More…]
We hope that the Northern Territory, as one of those representative parts of Australia which is not tied specifically to the Australian Parliament and which is not designated specifically for the purposes of administration by the Commonwealth, might ultimately be developed and become an independent State. [More…]
On the other hand it is true that the Northern Territory is an entity which, at the moment for representative purposes, is under the control of the Commonwealth. [More…]
I do now believe that it is likely - considering that this is the site of the Federal Parliament - that there will ever be an occasion when the Australian Capital Territory should enjoy the same representative rights in the States House as do the States around this continent. [More…]
The Board has informed me that according to its calculations national station ABV Melbourne, which is fairly representative of all national stations, during the period covered in the table achieved an overall Australian content figure of 49.6 per cent and 42.8 per cent in peak-time including four hours of Australian drama, and one hour of school-age children’s programming. [More…]
In view of the remarks made in the Senate yesterday by the Attorney-General, does the Minister as his representative in this chamber agree that there is a degree of conflict between his attitude and that of the Attorney-General? [More…]
As a representative for New South Wales I do not see why this principle of the State compact should be violated in this way. [More…]
We believe that the Government, in introducing a different class of representative, is doing a disservice to something which I have supported and which the people of the Northern Territory would welcome, that is, further representation. [More…]
In view of the fact that there are no free elections in Yugoslavia, does he consider that the Yugoslav Government is more representative of its Croatian majority than the Smith Rhodesian Government is representative of its African majority? [More…]
I think that Queenslanders should be proud of their representative on the board. [More…]
My Department does not extend to the Federation official recognition or support nor does it regard the organisation as representative of the migrant community [More…]
However, when appearing before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Pharmaceutical Benefits, a representative of the Australian Dental Association was asked about the frequency of prescriptions from dentists and he replied: [More…]
His desire to represent that city, to bear that title, as only its third representative since Federation, was part of the reason for his comparative lateness in entering this House.. [More…]
I attended that conference as a representative of the New South Wales Branch of the Party. [More…]
The three - the Queen, the Senate and the House of Representatives - make up the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. [More…]
I know there are some who take the view that this is mere fiction - something which over the years has degenerated into a formality where the Prime Minister gives advice to the GovernorGeneral, the Queen’s representative, and that advice is automatically taken. [More…]
There is no reason why in Australia we ought not to do that.- We are speaking about the most significant representative institution in this country. [More…]
I believe it is one of the most significant representative institutions in the world because of the very structure of our system which is basically democratic and representative of all the citizens and yet which stands in a community which is generally concerned with Presidents, royalties and everybody else. [More…]
In his view representative government is properly stationed in a capital in an accessible but still quiet area. [More…]
It gives me a great deal of pleasure as a representative of an outer metropolitan area to speak on this motion. [More…]
As a representative of an area which has suffered because of the lack of planning by previous governments I welcome the statement of the Minister. [More…]
The incidentals allowance is designed to assist students in meeting the cost of fees such as student representative council, union and sports fees. [More…]
During the self-governing period, the High Commissioner will have 2 functions - those of embryo ‘Head of State’ for Papua New Guinea and those of the Australian Representative. [More…]
The Council noted the agreement between the Governments of Australia and Papua New Guinea that resolutions in the House of Assembly on important constitutional issues will be by a recorded vote and by a substantial majority representative of the nation as a whole. [More…]
Under the Bill before the House, however, the problems faced by the honourable member for Kalgoorlie and the difficulties faced by his constituents in contacting their Federal representative will, of course, be ignored. [More…]
The purpose of drawing electoral boundaries is to achieve a parliament representative of the majority of citizens; it is not designed to ensure a convenient and easy means for members of Parliament to ensure their re-election or an easy and convenient way for them to represent their constituents. [More…]
How can we expect the citizens of this country to accept and obey what might be unpopular laws at a particular time if they are made by a minority representative government? [More…]
Logically, in a society ostensibly grounded on representative government, it would seem reasonable that a majority of the people of a State could elect a majority of that State’s legislators. [More…]
The representative is the GovernorGeneral. [More…]
The committee, therefore, was totally representative of the community. [More…]
In case of money to be made available for public transport, not only are projects mentioned in great detail but also the Commonwealth wants the right to approve contracts in addition to having a representative on the board spending the money in this area. [More…]
In choosing to ignore this advice and instead to hand over Lake Tyers to a group of Aborigines described by their own representative in the Victorian Parliament as having ‘at best extremely limited experience in or knowledge of farming operations and probably a complete absence of knowledge of the more vital problems of farm economies’, the Victorian Government showed a cynical disregard for the cause of Aboriginal land rights to which its spokesmen at the same time were paying lip service. [More…]
The Court is less representative of the Australian people than are their elected parliamentary representatives. [More…]
For example, they excluded Towra Point for a very simple reason and that was, as I said in answer to an earlier question, that, without any technical advice whatsoever and in an endeavour to save the 3 Liberal Federal members in Cook, Barton and St. George, they selected Somersby as a possible site because Mr Barry Cohen, the Labor member, was the representative for that area. [More…]
That letter was to Mr Grassby from Mr J. F. Thomas, the Director of the Intergovernmental Committee on European Migration, and copies also were sent to Ambassador Corkery in Geneva, Mr Shildberger of the television program ‘Federal File’ and Mr Zurek, the representative of ICEM in Australia. [More…]
It may be historic, but if one looks at the figures from a Queensland’s point of view, as I am bound to do as a representative of that State, one finds that something like 72 per cent of the money allocated in the Budget by this Government for urban programs has been allocated basically to Sydney and Melbourne. [More…]
I enjoyed 12 years of service as a lay representative of a synod of my church before I entered this Parliament. [More…]
This Parliament has also established an all-Party Parliamentary Committee on Prices representative of this House to the Senate, to inquire urgently into price movements. [More…]
One television commentator even said that there could be no doubt that I had got information from Australia’s representative on the Court, as he described him - the Chief Justice of Australia. [More…]
I refer the Minister to the Senate Hansard of 23 May which contains an answer given by his representative, the Minister for Works (Senator Cavanagh), to Senator Lawrie. [More…]
The Interim Commission will be charged with the task of arranging consultations and developing liaison with representative consumer organisations. [More…]
Hence, a commission on consumer stand Fids needs to be representative of as broad a cross section of the community as possible. [More…]
The table, to which the honourable member referred quite frequently, shows that in the 1960s on 3 occasions the previous Government comprised of the Party of which he is a representative did not increase pensions at all; that : is, in 1963, 1966 and 1968. [More…]
In announcement after announcement we have seen expressed a policy which is fragmented, piecemeal, divisive and in no shape or form representative of a multi policy approach to fighting inflation throughout this country. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Defence in his capacity as representative in this House of the Minister for Repatriation to pass on my comments to the Minister in the hope that in future the tribunal chairmen will adopt a more reasonable attitude. [More…]
Obviously, no representative of the trade union movement would buy a pig in a poke. [More…]
I was sorry that the honourable member did not, before he made his statement, have an interview with the representative of the Department who is here today. [More…]
I am concerned that this is one of the few occasions that I, as federal representative, have not been notified of a major operation within the Postmaster-General’s Department. [More…]
I was concerned that the Foundation was not truly representative of conservation organisations or individual conservationists and that as a consequence it was inequitable that the Foundation should be the only organisation other than the Keep Australia Beautiful Council to be receiving Australian Government assistance to conservation groups. [More…]
The right for the proper representative of unionists in a factory to do his job of protecting his own unionists is not challengeable, but what is challengeable is the terms sought by the Minister for such inspection. [More…]
Cabinet has made decisions in regard to a number of appointments which have to be ratified and approved by Her Majesty’s representative in this country. [More…]
Does the Opposition say that it should be told before Her Majesty’s representative in this country is told? [More…]
From some of the comments I have heard regarding this enrolling procedure, I feel that the Minister has embarked on a course of procedure which could be called a little irresponsible which must be costing quite an amount of public money, in order to achieve the establishment of a committee that will completely belong to the Minister and therefore, I say, it could never be truly representative of the feeling of the Aboriginal and Island people. [More…]
Is it truly representative of all Aborigines across the nation? [More…]
There is very little chance, except in the Senate, where they now have one Aboriginal representative, that the Aboriginal people will ever attain representation in this House because of the dispersion of their numbers. [More…]
Earlier in the year the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs brought together a representative group of people who had been involved in Aboriginal affairs He asked them to recommend the manner in which Aborigines could be consulted in the future. [More…]
The Government has sought to encourage members of this House to take a greater interest in Aboriginal affairs by appointing by resolution the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
I have never at any time been approached by any representative of the trade unions in this matter. [More…]
However, for a private member to keep in contact with the people and offer service to the people who elected him to be their representative with the assistance of one staff member is impossible for any member who is intent on doing his job. [More…]
With the Government’s direct involvement in the operations of local councils it is essential that service is able to be offered, that the national representative is able fully and correctly to be informed and that an avenue for obtaining information is readily available to the electorate itself. [More…]
It is up to this Parliament to ensure that a system is evolved whereby members or their representatives are available to the populace. [More…]
It is not impossible to visualise voters in outlying areas and semioutlying areas, like the electorate of Angas, in future saying to their representative: ‘We have faith in you. [More…]
The 500 growers were angered by the fact that no representative of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) was present and that there was no representative of the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt) within whose personal responsibility this matter lies. [More…]
This was necessary because there was no representative of the Federal Government at that meeting. [More…]
The Premier of South Australia sent a personal representative to the meeting. [More…]
That motion was moved despite the fact that, with several weeks notice, the Federal Government did not have a representative at that meeting. [More…]
I think it is only fair that I complete my remarks tonight by saying that this is not the first occasion on which this Government has failed to send representatives to important meetings of primary producers. [More…]
There was no representative at all to hear the people at that meeting. [More…]
In the second reading speeches on these 2 Bills which we are dealing with in this cognate debate the Minister for Services and Property said that for the purposes of section 24 of the Constitution a Territorial senator is not to be regarded as a senator for the purpose of requiring that the number of members of the House of Representatives should be as nearly as practicable twice the number of senators. [More…]
If a Territory is to be given representation in the Senate why should its representative not be regarded as a senator? [More…]
Along with all the other referendum proposals that are being put forward by this Government, pulled out of the hat after being put into the hat at the whim of Caucus, why is it that the Government has not thought of amending section 24 of the Constitution - if the legal advice the Government has received is good - so as to make it clear that the representative of a Territory referred to in section 24 is equal, under section 1 22, to a State senator? [More…]
Let us remember that there is a clear distinction between representation in the sense of representative government, and responsible government. [More…]

Secondly, the amendment could allow greater participation on the Schools Commission so that it is representative of the total community. [More…]
If the Senate insists on these ill drafted amendments that have been put up by the Opposition this evening and returns them to the House of Representatives no doubt the Schools Commission will not come into being. [More…]
I remind the members of the late Government that they exercised grants under section 96 apparently on their own decision and certainly not on decisions of panels of independent, schools and the Australian Education Commission, or even on decisions of a representative committee such as the Interim Schools Committee. [More…]
One of the members of the working party is a representative of the Australian Medical Association. [More…]
We feel that because of the representative nature of the Schools Commission, as envisaged in our amendment, it is unnecessary for the functions of the Commission to be duplicated by a State board. [More…]

I just want to remind him that the problems that he talks about in his electorate are problems which were inherited by him from the previous Liberal representative for McMillan and that the problems were developed over a period of 23 years of Liberal-Country Party administration. [More…]
I should also like to indicate to the House that it seems to me that there would be great advantage in such a council, if it could be brought into being having not only Ministers from the States who have direct responsibility for secondary industry and those Ministers from the Australian Government who work in the same area but also having a certain number - say 6 - of the leaders of industry representative of Australian-wide industry as a whole. [More…]

That is to say, because a Minister has set about his public duty to keep the public construction program of this country operating in an effective way, he is to become the subject of intimidation by a representative of this organisation. [More…]

I think she will make an excellent representative for the people of Monaro. [More…]

The words ‘representative of are the key to our position in regard to this amendment - the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
The extraordinary reaction of the Acting Minister for Education, the PostmasterGeneral (Mr Lionel Bowen) and the Government which indicate that it cannot live with these amendments leads one to the conclusion that the Government does not want an independent commission representative of the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
Once again the personnel are in a sense representative, depending upon the way in which one defines the term ‘representative’, of interested people. [More…]
They were, in fact, people who were representative in the sense that they had contacts with a variety of the interests that were being served by the Committee. [More…]
Whilst it had on it representatives - in inverted commas - of national employer organisations, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the Commonwealth Department of Education, the State Department of Labour and State technical education authorities, which had been invited to nominate members to the Committee, the members were appointed as individuals and not as representatives. [More…]
One of the main reasons why the Opposition is so insistent on these amendments is that the general undertaking which the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) had given to those involved in education was that people representative of Catholic education and of the teachers would have representation on the Schools Commission. [More…]
The Minister for the Capital Territory (Mr Bryant) said that the Government had chosen not to appoint the Commission in the way we are suggesting because, fundamentally, the Government found it too difficult to involve all the representative groups in the Commission. [More…]

[More…]
When the Schools Commission was debated originally in this House honourable members opposite advocated a set of amendments which would have effectively excluded from participation in the Commission representatives of teachers and of parents. [More…]
Yet tonight they insist that such representatives must be included in the Commission even against the wishes of the organisations concerned - and those wishes have been made very clear indeed. [More…]
Let us look at some of the organisations which the Opposition suggests are representative of others. [More…]
Was the vote a representative decision of woolgrowers? [More…]
Do the results raise questions in relation to the representative nature of the Australian Wool Industry Conference? [More…]
For instance, one might think that all the Aborigines at Hermannsburg, south-west of Alice Springs, were of the one group and one representative would speak for them. [More…]
The logical thing to do was to convene some gathering which would be representative of them, if it were possible to do so. [More…]
I take up the point made by the honourable member for the Northern Territory that those people are not necessarily representative. [More…]
There are large areas of Australia in which the simple electoral system will not produce a person representative of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
At least there will be 41 Aboriginal people on the ground, working for their people as their direct representatives. [More…]
None of us in this place have any way by which we can give any guarantees about how representative duties will be carried out. [More…]
The report issued by the Department of Urban and Regional Development insists that regional councils should consist of one elected representative of each council? [More…]
His preference for State parliamentarians being representatives is understandable because I think just as deviously as he does: Put enough State parliamentarians on a regional council and control it so that it will in no way provide an embarrassment to an inept State gov ernment. [More…]
That simply confirms what honourable, members on this side of the House have said for years and years, that is, that the Australian Wool Industry Conference is not representative of the whole wool industry. [More…]
The dispute between the political parties in the Australian Parliament, of course, took practical effect just before Christmas last year when the present Government changed its recognition from Taipeh to Peking and withdrew its representative from Taipeh and sent one to Peking. [More…]

It is laid up in another place by a curious combination of a government that was defeated on 2 December and a Party that has not a single representative in this House. [More…]
One of the other 3 part-time members will be a representative of the trade unions. [More…]
The Government’s policy is based on the report of the Interim Committee for the Australian Schools Commission under Professor Karmel - a unanimous report by a committee composed of representatives of all school systems in Australia. [More…]
The Government accepts that opinion of that representative and skilled Committee. [More…]
As the honourable member for Corangamite mentioned, the growers in the industry were told by the Labor Party spokesmen before the general election that they believed in elected representatives. [More…]
If they required a direct vote of the industry in that instance in order to ascertain the effect on growers rather than a vote of appointed representatives, why did they not be consistent and stick to the same formula for the Apple and Pear Corporation? [More…]
All the grower representatives will be appointed from the Australian Apple and Pear Growers Association. [More…]
The legislation places tremendous responsibility on it to be truly representative of all the apple and pear growers in this country and to act in an exemplary and efficient manner on behalf of the industry. [More…]
I suppose that a reasonable distribution of the 4 growers appointed as representatives initially would be two from Tasmania, one from Western Australia and one from Victoria. [More…]
The Victorian representative would represent the pear export section of the industry. [More…]
The Minister is not picking names out of the air; he will appoint the people nominated by these representative bodies. [More…]
I would like to see at least two Tasmanian representatives out of the four. [More…]
It means that the pear growers would be represented on the Corporation largely by the Victorian representative. [More…]
If it agrees that there should be a majority of grower representatives on marketing boards, we need to know why it is not so in this case. [More…]
Growers in the Mount Lofty Ranges in my own State where apples of good quality are grown in quite fair numbers see the problem of membership there as being a matter of appointing one more grower representative. [More…]
On the previous Apple and Pear Board there was at least one grower representative from each State which had apple plantings, growings and production of consequence. [More…]
The growers in the smaller States, such as South Australia, feel that they will not have a representative on the Australian Apple and Pear Corporation. [More…]
The Board’s North American Representative, Mr Graeme Goodsir, made this statement in an address to the annual meeting of the Meat Importers Council of America in Chicago. [More…]

This tribunal should consist of a representative of government, consumers and the medical profession, with an independent chairman. [More…]
Does that mean, as it appears to mean, that the Government of Australia will have its own representative on all of these boards down to a local area community centre or hospital - the State does not have representatives on them at the moment - and that it will also have representatives on all of the State organisations? [More…]
It will probably mean that those who play along with the wishes of the Federal Government and agree to somebody being on a board or authority will get their money, but that if they do not agree to have some Federal representative who will pull the strings at every level they will not get this grant at all. [More…]
The British Government is represented on the board of directors but it is understood that the government representative has very limited powers, and they are powers of negation. [More…]

I did in fact receive a cable in the ordinary way from our representative in Hanoi about what was said in the interview the Prime Minister of North Viet nam gave my colleague the Minister for Overseas Trade. [More…]
This report was an evaluation for the Students Representative Council of the Australian National University of a reading course conducted in Canberra in September 1972. [More…]
According to the report the firm which conducted the course asked the Students Representative Council for permission to run reading courses in the Union Building. [More…]
The ANU Students Representative Council report refers to one course conducted ‘by one organisation. [More…]
into the proportion of municipal and State-type costs which should be borne by the local community, and consideration of possible forms of representative government in the A.C.T. [More…]
That service was no doubt the reason why he was elected as its representative. [More…]
I notice that there is in the chamber at the present time a representative of the State Parliament of Western Australia. [More…]
As a representative of an outer metropolitan area I am particularly interested to see what has been done in the Department of Urban and Regional Development. [More…]
Being a representative of a very important rural area I naturally refer to the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt). [More…]
In fact it was written for the Queen by Her Majesty’s Government, as of course it is always written for her or for her representative, the Governor-General, when she is not here. [More…]
Some time today the representative of the Victorian Government, Mr Dalton, asked the Arbitration Commission to adjourn any further hearing of the national wage case until the strikes in the metal industries stop. [More…]
Anyone with any sort of knowledge of parliamentary affairs is fully aware that, when the Queen or her representative says that her Government will do this or her Government will do that, she is speaking on the advice of her Ministers and it does not matter whether they are conservative or ‘Labor Ministers. [More…]
It has been a success for the overwhelming majority of Fijians and I repeat the statement I made to the distinguished representative of Fiji in Australia, His Excellency the High Commissioner, Mr Raman Narayan Nair, that as soon as the racketeering has been ended we will then look to the restoration of the new facility I introduced on 1 September. [More…]
It is a distinct honour for Mrs Marcos and I to be able to tender this dinner in honour of one of the most distinguished leaders in our part of the world, the innovating leader of the Australian people, who has brought into the Government of Australia a fresh new wind of innovation and a creative energy, symbolic and representative of the character and the strength of Australia and its people. [More…]
He insinuated - and this was a statement that was made by a representative not just of a political party but of the whole Australian people - that any change in government in Australia would be entirely unacceptable to the United States and he invited the United States to consider for itself whether is really wished to contribute actively to a shift in power. [More…]
as a representative of the Asian Press, as the 5 purposes for the Prime Minister’s trip. [More…]

The Country Party is no longer the representative of the country people in general or of the farmers in particular. [More…]
It is now the direct representative of the shipping combines, of the financial and commercial interests of the cities and of the magnates of secondary industry. [More…]
Tourist Commission Act 1967-1973 provides that the Commission shall consist of 5 voting and 2 non-voting members, the 2 non-voting representatives being persons nominated by the goverment of the States and who serve on the Commission on a rotating basis. [More…]
It is my belief that the importance of tourism in the economy requires an expansion of the Commission to make it more representative of the various interests which might be expected to have a voice on such a body. [More…]
I have discussed it with their representative here. [More…]
It was discussed in Indonesia, in the Philippines, in Singapore, in Malaysia, in Japan, later in Thailand and also with the distinguished representative of Fiji. [More…]
For instance, the term ‘interim chairman’ is to be dropped; payment for members of the Corporation will be determined by the Remuneration Tribunal, except for the Commonwealth’s representative on the Board who is a senior public servant; and payments of remuneration will be made from the funds of the Corporation. [More…]
I do not want to be unduly critical of the Minister for Social Security, who personally to me is the soul of co-operation, but I was astonished - if I may intrude this matter - to be telephoned by a representative of the Press tonight at 9 o’clock just before I was about to speak and asked: ‘Would you care to comment on a statement just made by the Minister for Social Security on private health insurance?’ [More…]
These people - I do not pretend to know how representative they are - have said that even on an across-the-board basis, the increase is not enough. [More…]
That a member of the Queensland State Parliament would ask a question which contains damaging references to elected representatives without first checking the facts h unbelievable. [More…]
I conclude by pointing out that at no time was I contacted by any person, whether a parliamentarian or a’ representative of the Press, for the purpose of checking the facts. [More…]
The legislation provides for a Development Assistance Advisory Board which will be widely representative of the community and will be a valuable means of keeping the Agency aware of community attitudes on development questions. [More…]

As the representative of primary industry in the Australian Capital Territory I want to make several points to the honourable member about the question he asked. [More…]
Of the 3 members of the Board only one was a contributor representative which is why imaginative investment policies were never undertaken. [More…]

A second request was made and when there was still no reply a third request was made for him or his representative to attend. [More…]
A representative was not sent. [More…]
They included the Prime Minister’s refusal to attend their mass meeting or to send a representative; his Government’s array of anti-farmer measures; his series of insensitive statements about farmers and farming, and the emotive expressions used in Forrest Place by him and by the Minister for Services and Property. [More…]
I share the view that was expressed by other speakers, that the Minister has made a wise decision in choosing to name the new seat Tangney, because it will honour the first women’s representative in this Parliament. [More…]
Did the spokesman deliberately mislead the Canberra Times’, because I have been given to understand that there were not 3 people at the meeting but at least 12 people representing the private hospitals - including a representative of private nursing homes, with the object of canvassing their opinion of his proposed amendments to the scheme. [More…]
It is true, as I understand it, that Dr Deeble asked people at the meeting in Melbourne of representatives of the private hospitals that they should treat the meeting as confidential. [More…]
He was not the only Liberal representative present at that meeting. [More…]
But the point is that the Minister’s personal adviser said to one of the senior representatives of the private hospitals of this country: ‘If you agree to these amendments, then you will get the fourth table’. [More…]
That has been stated by a representative. [More…]
The capabilities of some 50 or 60 representative ships in all, ranging in size from about 500 tonnes to 5,000 tonnes, have been studied. [More…]
In the meantime the Service boards are functioning with a representative of the Secretary replacing the former permanent heads. [More…]
As the flood co-ordinating representative of the Australian Government, appointed by the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam), along with the Premier of Queensland and the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Alderman Jones, I have had many meetings with all authorities con.rerned and we are in the process of formulating a plan - a workable scheme - under which we hope to have every town and city practiable in a better position to withstand these tragedies should they occur in the future. [More…]
For as long as I remain in this Parliament as the representative of the electorate of Forrest I will fight for finance for local government without strings and without a cutting down of the rights or powers of the States, especially in the State of Western Australia. [More…]
I have added in representations of my own that we urgently require a Department of Immigration representative in this electorate. [More…]

We believe, for the reasons that I have advanced, that the Leader of the House and the Australian Labor Party again are showing a complete contempt for this, the House of Representatives, the lower representative chamber of the Australian Parliament. [More…]
If there has been any factor which has been a disgrace to Australian politics ever since the beginning of representative government it has been the constant rigging of ballots through the system of electoral redistributions. [More…]
In effect the Government takes hold of section 24 of the Constitution, which places an obligation on this Parliament to have twice the number of people here as in the Senate, and says ‘Well, as far as the Northern Territory is concerned we will have 2 representatives in the Senate for the one representative here’. [More…]
He is prepared to give to the Northern Territory 2 Senate representatives, yet that particular electorate at this stage has one of the lowest numbers of electors on its roll. [More…]
On the one hand he seeks an equal voice and one vote one value and ail of those nonsensical principles that do not work out in practice, and on the other hand he acknowledges that he is not prepared to give full and adequate Senate representative voice in the Senate to the 2 representatives of the Northern Territory. [More…]
Having researched the voting pattern for the past 20 years or so for both of these areas, it seems almost certain to me that in the Australian Capital Territory we will have a representative of the Labor Party and a representative of the Liberal Party. [More…]
It would be a miraculous situation if the Australian Labor Party were to gain 2 representatives from the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
We should not forget that this is the crowd that is saying that it does not matter how big an electorate is or if one is a country representative - I am not talking about the Country Party, I am talking about Labor, Liberal or Country Party members - and that it does not matter whether one’s electorate is 50,000 or 100,000 square miles as long as it contains exactly the same number of people to represent as the electorate of the Minister for Services and Property, who represents a little pocket handkerchief electorate in Sydney. [More…]
We should not forget, as was pointed out by a previous speaker, that the Government’s proposal is to have 2 Senate representatives of the Northern Territory when it has only one member in the House of Representatives. [More…]
This means that while we say that every State - we include Tasmania, Western Australia and South Australia as the small States - shall have 10 representatives in the Senate irrespective of the number of re- representatives from each State in the House of Representatives- [More…]
Although in the office of Solicitor-General I had the great honour to represent our people in many places both here and overseas, to sit in this House as the elected representative of the Division of Wentworth is to me the greatest honour of all. [More…]
It could recommend means to simplify not only the operations of committees, but also to make them, in many cases, representative of the Parliament as a whole. [More…]
The honourable member for Wannon said a lot about the attitude of the Government in the national wage case and quite wrongly said that the submission put on behalf of the Government by me or my representative in the national wage case did not have the endorsement of the Government. [More…]
Tenders were invited to ascertain whether the pre-tender estimates adequately represented the state of the market at the time, and the updated estimates were found to be representative. [More…]
As a representative of a large number of wool growers, I am very deeply concerned about the claim that was made by the honourable member for Eden-Monaro (Mr Whan) that 3 members of the Australian Wool Corporation had stooped to the level of completelydisregarding their responsibilities as members of the Corporation by conspiring with the Leader of the Australian Country Party (Mr Anthony) and the Deputy Leader of the Australian Country Party (Mr Sinclair), and thereby placing in jeopardy the welfare of the people engaged in the wool industry, in order to promote an attitude within the Corporation in regard to price levels for wool that was designed only to embarrass the Government. [More…]
No doubt they have gone to an early dinner or to something of that kind and have left the Minister for Defence here as their sole representative. [More…]
We wish to ensure, amongst other things, that clause 32 is amended to add a sub-clause to require the Executive to have an ‘affirmative resolution’ passed by the Senate and House of Representatives before any regulation takes effect and, that regulations shall cease to have effect at the expiration of the period of 12 months after the date on which they took effect unless each House of the Parliament passes a resolution approving the continuation of the regulations. [More…]
For the reasons I have given this is unmistakably the most important change in a constitutional sense not only to ensure control of the Executive by the Parliament as an essential ingredient of representative government but also to prevent abuse of Executive powers and to practise the policy of open and honest government with Parliament acting as the means by which the public is informed and protected. [More…]
I think a Minister who does not know in the middle of one week what is going to be done in the beginning of the next week should be called upon to explain why he cannot tell a representative of the people in this House what his intentions are about raising the pension, when he will link it to average weekly earnings, and give the people an assurance so that they will know when their purchasing power will be restored, thus taking pensions out of financial and political considerations. [More…]
The committee is widely representative of all people interested in the preservation of a national collection. [More…]
At that Convention Mr Ward, representing the Northern Territory Legislative Council - an Australian Labor Party representative on that Council - said: . [More…]
I would have thought that as the representative from Parramatta he would highlight the quadruplication of the railway from Auburn to Penrith which, of course, is of tremendous benefit to the commuters in his electorate. [More…]
He said that something should be done about it, but he has failed dismally as a member of the Cabinet and as a representative of primary industry. [More…]
I refer to the recent visit by Senator Brown as the representative of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Senator Cavanagh) to Orbost, Lake Tyers, Nowa Nowa and Bairnsdale. [More…]
At the meeting at Bairnsdale about thirty to forty people attended including the local newspaper representative, who wrote a story about it. [More…]
But the point remains nonetheless that to call those people representative of the contributors is just ridiculous. [More…]
I do not regard myself as a representative of the doctors in this place. [More…]
The committee will be representative of both sides of the House and also of the Senate. [More…]
The next matter of substance raised by the honourable member for Murray referred to discussions between officers of my Department and representatives of the health insurance funds some weeks ago. [More…]
They indicated that if any individual fund representative cared to speak with them later in the evening they would be available to discuss individual cases, but no representative sought that discussion. [More…]
However, the matter has raised itself again and under the terms of the legislation presented by the Minister the States shall, if required to do so, establish a body or bodies, representative of departments and other bodies in the State concerned with roads or road transport to carry out planning and furnish advice for the State government in connection with the provision or maintenance of roads. [More…]
I would rather see it set in terms of the priorities that the people closest to the community are able to assess and not the priorities set by those who happen to be representative of larger areas, as we all are, and who are not able to relate as readily as can State members of Parliament or members of local councils in assessing the needs of a community. [More…]
Grants provided for the purchase of land are provided to legal entities suitably incorporated as representative of the Aboriginal communities concerned. [More…]
I succeed Mr Don Maisey as the representative of the electorate of Moore. [More…]
I also convey my congratulations to the other new members on their contributions to this House through their maiden speeches- It is a significant honour to have been elected by the people of Hume to be their representative in this Parliament. [More…]
As this vote, if carried, would almost certainly have led to the expulsion of the existing representative of a government with which the Australian Government has diplomatic relations, what is the reasoning behind his claim that this matter was only a procedural question. [More…]
Did Australia recently vote at an International Red Cross conference in Geneva to exclude the representative of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Viet-Nam. [More…]
But the basic principle of representative government remains and must remain unchanged. [More…]
Not to do so would be to deny constitutional representative government in Australia and to set up a dictatorship in a House which is not based on that form of representation. [More…]
No distribution should permit a situation where a party or a coalition of parties which secures a majority of votes does not secure a majority of members in the House of Representatives. [More…]
To permit otherwise would be to perpetrate a travesty of representative government. [More…]
Australian people truly representative government and to give practical expression to the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln, which still echo down through the ages and linger in the minds of all democrats, namely: ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people’. [More…]
The Opposition believes this to be desirable in a representative type of government. [More…]
In those circumstances the quality of representation would be greatly undermined as electors faced continual changes in both their elected representatives and their electorates. [More…]
It is easier to service an electorate which has a concentration of voters in urban areas than to service an electorate where there are a large number of small towns and hamlets which their representative must visit. [More…]
If the basis of representation is that there are matters affecting either of the Territories in respect of which representatives of those Territories should have a voice in the passing of the laws which relate to those Territories, that right is already given by the representation in the House of Representatives. [More…]
Of course, within the last 12 months the Australian Capital Territory has been given an additional representative in the House of Representatives. [More…]
Many measures that concern the people of the Australian Capital Territory are debated in that chamber but the people of the Australian Capital Territory do not have a representative to participate in any debate in the Senate, as they ave no opportunity to send a man or a woman to express their point of view in that chamber. [More…]
Despite their rights as Australians and their undisputed rights as electors, the people of the Northern Territory have been denied the opportunity to elect representatives to both Houses of this Parliament. [More…]
They are still being denied the right to send a representative or representatives to the Senate because of the bitter opposition of the Liberal and Country Parties. [More…]
If they were entitled to vote as part of South Australia then they were automatically entitled to vote to send representatives to both Houses of this Parliament. [More…]
It was not until 1911, after they had sent representatives to both Houses of this Parliament for 4 parliaments, that the Northern Territory Acceptance Act came into force. [More…]
They had no right to send a member to the House of Representatives. [More…]
They had no right to send a representative to the Senate. [More…]
A bitter fight developed in the Northern Territory, and it was not until 1 922 that the electors of the Northern Territory were able to send a representative to the House of Representatives. [More…]
For a number of years Mr. H. Nelson, father of the present Administrator of the Northern Territory, fought incessantly in this House for full voting rights, because although he was the representative of the Northern Territory he had no voting rights at all. [More…]
But it was not until 1968, after the present Administrator of the Northern Territory, Mr Jock Nelson, had made many a stirring speech in this House in relation to representation for the Northern Territory, full voting rights for its representative and Senate representation, that the honourable member for the Northern Territory in fact received full voting rights. [More…]
Under section 122 of the Constitution machinery is laid down for giving all electors of the Commonwealth a vote in choosing a representative for both Houses of the Parliament. [More…]
But the Country Party in particular, supported blindly by the Liberal Party, still refuses to give the people of the Northern Territory a representative voice in the Senate. [More…]
As such it is desirable that the people of the Northern Territory have a voice in both Houses of the Parliament so that they are able to argue for and against the measures that from time to time come before the House of Representatives and the Senate. [More…]
What do people from overseas think when they go to the Alice Springs district and they are told that the people who live in this international tourist resort do not have a representative voice in the Senate and that they cannot even vote in referenda which propose changes in the Constitution. [More…]
Because the Northern Territory is a Territory its affairs are influenced by this Parliament- by the Senate and the House of Representativesmore than the affairs of the States are influenced by this Parliament. [More…]
For example, the annual appropriation for ordinary government activity comes under the scrutiny of both Houses of this Parliament- the Senate and the House of Representatives. [More…]
Certain statutory actions- for example, land acquisition- can be disallowed by the House of Representatives or the Senate. [More…]
Is there justice in the Senate being allowed to pass judgment on important issues which affect the every-day lives of the people of the Northern Territory when they cannot get a representative in the Senate’? [More…]
The Labor Government, and the Labor Party when it was in opposition, have consistently supported every move to give the people of the Northern Territory a representative in both Houses of this Parliament. [More…]
Those arguments were proved invalid by the decisions of those who voted in the last election and returned the honourable member for the Northern Territory to this place as their representative. [More…]
Is the Government going to send him here to look after himself as the Senate representative? [More…]
Just as a matter of arithmetic, what justice is to be found in these figures: 240,000 Tasmanian voters elect 15 representatives to the national Parliament; 95,000 Canberra voters elect 2 representatives to the national Parliament; and 30,000 Northern Territorians elect one representative to the national Parliament? [More…]
The only other argument worthy of the name which has been advanced against the Government’s stand on this matter was raised by that doughty traditionalist, Senator Greenwood, and repeated, I am sad to say, by a much more worthy representative of this Parliament, my friend Mr Killen, the honourable member for Moreton. [More…]
We on the Government side believe that if we have to have a Senate we should try to make it a House which is a little more representative of the Australian people. [More…]
If we in the Australian Capital Territory had our new assembly of 18 elected legislative assembly members, 2 members of the House of Representatives and 2 senators, we would have one elected person to more than 5,000 electors. [More…]
If we look at the smallest States, we see that Western Australia has one elected member for each 387 electors, South Australia has one elected member for every 527 electors and Tasmania has one elected representative for each 480 electors. [More…]
This is how I believe the position should be so that the constituents can go to the parliamentary representative who represents their political point of view. [More…]
We are elected by the people on adult suffrage with potency equal to that of the gentlemen and ladies who inhabit the House of Representatives. [More…]
How real, how genuine is the little theatre of mirth on the part of one representative opposite who is unknown to me? [More…]
The only way that the people of the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory can exercise their rights and their duties as free and equal Australians citizens is for them to be represented wherever there are representative institutions, including the Senate. [More…]
Since the very beginning of representative and responsible government, governments have aimed at delivering to all Australians, no matter in which part of the continent they live, the same quality of service and the same quality of government. [More…]
We now have 2 Federal members in the House of Representatives representing the people of the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
The Northern Territory covers 520,000 square miles but it has only one Federal representative. [More…]
I could be marginally out in these figures, but I believe that at the 2 Constitutional Conventions the Labor movement had one representative out of 135. [More…]
Representatives of the people whom we on this side of the Parliament represent were not members of the various State parliaments at that time. [More…]
For example, whilst it is proposed that representatives of Territories in the Senate should have full voting powers they would differ in important respects from other senators. [More…]
We are told that section 24 of the Constitution is not to apply to them yet they are to attract to themselves power equal to those of the true Senate representatives of the States. [More…]
It seems strange, putting it in the lowest possible key, to claim that these people would be full senators for the purposes of some sections of the Constitution- for example, section 22 and 23 relating to votes and quorums in the Senate- but not in others, for example, section 24 relating to the nexus between the number of senators and the number of members in the House of Representatives. [More…]
I say this knowing that the Government has received advice on the point but how can you have a situation in which a representative is a senator one minute and not the next? [More…]
There has been altogether too much dishonesty within this chamber from members of the Opposition who neither understand nor want to understand, and from the vested interests whether they are in certain representative bodies of the medical profession or whether they are in private health insurance funds, which generously subsidise their political activities, and which do not want this change to take place, in spite of the benefits that it will contribute to the people. [More…]
I would not like to see a motion such as this carried against Her Majesty’s representative in this country in the precise way it has been moved by the honourable member for Mackellar. [More…]
All sections of the community, all parties, except the Opposition parties in this Parliament, reject the sell-out of Australia, and still the Leader of the Australian Country Party appears here as the representative of the international corporations. [More…]
At the outset I want to say to Representative Katter that when he talks about Australianism many new members in this Parliament- people like Representatives Mathews and Lamb- are here because the conservationists in this community are sick of being trampled by the mining lobbyists. [More…]
As for Representative Katter’s concern about royalties in mining communities, I have been advised by Representative Fitzpatrick that he obtained 75 per cent of the vote in Cobar; so that refutes his stupid reasoning. [More…]
Sometimes I wonder whether there is sufficient prevention of exploitation from this Government when one can read- as we read just recently- that the builders labourers’ representative in this country announced to the Australian Government and people that in the near future there would be a national strike organised by his communist friends. [More…]
These 6 Bills found their way to this Joint Sitting and they are opposed even in this last hour by the Liberal and Country Parties, not out of wanton obstructionism but because this side of the chamber, representative of opinion held over a wide spectrum of the Australian people, believes that they are bad in principle and are likely to detract from the effectiveness of our parliamentary democracy. [More…]
Briefly, the Convention commits ratifying states, in consultation with the most representative organisations of employers and workers concerned to determine periodically which carcinogenic substances and agents should be prohibited or controlled; to replace them where possible by non-carcinogenic or less harmful substances and agents; to reduce both the number of workers exposed to carcinogenic substances and agents and the degree of such exposure to the minimum compatible with safety; to prescribe protective measures; to provide workers with all the available information on the dangers involved and on the measures to be taken; to monitor exposed workers’ health during the period of employment and thereafter; and to give effect to these provision by laws or other methods. [More…]
In the circumstances I believe it a reasonable expectation that the industry should be capable of determining, without Government intervention, what is satisfactory representative membership. [More…]
Representative erosion measurement stations have been installed. [More…]
-Australia is a member of the Security Council, and our representative there, Sir Laurence Mclntyre is using his best endeavours to bring the contending parties together. [More…]
It is in the context of what I have been talking about concerning community reactions that I want to mention India which, as a member nation, has a representative on the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank. [More…]
Members of Parliament should make every reasonable effort to avoid even the appearance of those conflicts of interest that are not inherent in a representative democracy. [More…]
The representative body of the pig industry has indicated that it wishes to undertake promotion of the industry’s products with funds based on a slaughter levy and has approached the Government seeking legislation for the introduction of such a levy. [More…]
Our agents in Fremantle have received demand from Australian Seamen’s Union representative in Fremantle claiming that he represented head office Seamen’s Union, Sydney, say that because m.v. [More…]
The fact is that a photograph was taken of the representative of the Seamen’s Union handing a cheque to the Australian Labor Party to be used for the last election campaign. [More…]
Let us have a corporation representative of people who use the postal service and who are interested in its welfare. [More…]
I believe that any elected representative must try to get access to a Minister and I try to meet as many applications as I can. [More…]
-But to demonstrate their concern, as my colleague the honourable member for Barker says, the only representative of the ministry here is the Treasurer (Mr Crean). [More…]
Whenever I confer with local government bodies in my area the most common compliment and observation from the representatives of 6 municipalities in an area covering over 1,000 square miles is that they have seldom been met before by a representative of the Federal Parliament. [More…]
I commend its meeting to a representative of the Department of Urban and Regional Development because that is an area to which sufficient emphasis has not been given in the past. [More…]
As a representative of a rural electorate I wish to point to specific areas within this Bill that affect my electorate. [More…]
I appeal to the Special Minister of State (Mr Lionel Bowen) as the representative in this chamber of the Postmaster-General (Senator Bishop)- I apologise for not having advised him that I was going to speak on this subject tonight but I notice that he has come into the chamber because of the nature of the accusations that have been made- to intervene in this matter and to stop his own Party from manipulating and twisting the media, as this admission by none other than the Queensland Campaign Director, Mr Bart Lourigan, indicates. [More…]
The two resolutions passed were adopted without a vote and a formal intervention by the Australian representative was not required. [More…]
It is true that the Australian Council of Trade Unions- it has taken a position that is widely understood as being representative of the view of the trade union movement- has submitted to the Government that, in the course of establishing what would be a common policy to deal with the present economic situation, including both inflation and unemployment, in Australia, the Government should consider favourably the introduction of import quotas or the introduction of quotas allowing smaller amounts to come into Australia than exist under quotas already. [More…]
On arrival in Western Australia nominees will be met by a company representative and conveyed to their accommodation. [More…]
I was pleased to hear that the AUS, as on many other issues, was not representative of university student opinion. [More…]
Although predominantly residential it does have 3 significant industrial areas and in many respects it is representative of the cross section of the 3,500,000 people who live in Sydney. [More…]
I come here not only as a representative of the 69,000 electors of Bennelong but also as a member of the Liberal Party of Australia. [More…]
The representative body of the pig industry has requested that the pig slaughter levy be increased to provide funds for the promotion of pigmeat. [More…]
In every way he was a grand representative of this country abroad and he set an exceedingly high standard there as he did in the Parliament. [More…]
They were strangers because their only right lay in the position that they occupied in the State registered union and there was no place on the Federal executive or the Federal convention for a representative of a strange or foreign union. [More…]
As I said earner, we need to have representative bodies of employers and employees in order to make the system function. [More…]
The honourable member for Deniston, Mr Coates, is the only Tasmanian representative in the House at the present time. [More…]
If that is the position, then the people of Launceston need to change their representative. [More…]
I hope that the Commission, with its representative of the Northern Territory, will give more consideration to the provision of real assistance to tourist operators. [More…]
I rang a representative of the Department of Labor and Immigration and the representative of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Perth, Mr Henne, to ask that they assure me that they personally had talked privately with Ermolenko and had received an assurance that he had changed his mind and wished to return to Russia. [More…]
I rise to make my maiden speech fully conscious of the important task I have been given as the democratically elected representative of the people of Riverina. [More…]
I am aware and delighted to hear that the New South Wales State Minister will be visiting the area this month, but as a representative of the people, I would be neglecting my duty to them if I did not emphasise the need for action. [More…]
Perhaps most importantly I am here to speak as a representative of the Riverina people on legislation being considered by this Parliament. [More…]
I am not seeking to go over history and therefore score political points, but I do say that in the position which I formerly occupied as an employers’ representative in this field I believe that the report of the working party from which I have just read very relevant extracts would have been adopted and implemented by the Liberal-Country Party Government had it remained in office in 1972. [More…]
The ACTU representative was of the view that the basic requirement to overcome the Moore v. Doyle problems was adequate amending legislation to the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration An which it anticipated would be accompanied by complementary State legislation. [More…]
However, the ACTU representative thought that the provision of a moratorium on challenges for a specified period might be necessary to enable unions to put their affairs in order. [More…]
The employers’ representative regarded the rectification of the problem disclosed in Moore v. Doyle as primarily a matter for the Australian Government and the States. [More…]
In 1973 we introduced an amendment to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act which sought to remedy the defect which up until that point had been a characteristic of the Commonwealth Arbitration Act by allowing a Federal body to take into its membership people who were not employees within the strict sense of the word as so tightly interpreted by the High Court, provided that the organisation remained predominantly an organisation representative of employees who were employees in the true and strict sense of the word. [More…]
So what we did last year was to permit employee organisations to enrol persons in occupations akin to those of employees, provided that the organisation remained effectively an organisation that was representative of employees in or in connection with the industry for which the organisation was registered and which conformed also with the eligibility rule of the organisation. [More…]
But apart from that, back in one’s electorate, where I believe that a member of Parliament must be a representative of the people within his electorate, how can he represent them when he has only one person to do the typing for him, to answer the telephone and take account of the daily correspondence that comes in? [More…]
If we had that kind of representation then I believe that some of the trenchant criticisms that are heaped upon the party system of government would be overturned because the member would be more truly a representative of the people and could more effectively operate within the party system. [More…]
I pay a tribute to the honourable member for Riverina (Mr Sullivan) who has displayed in this House the gentlemanly characteristics that the people of Riverina want in their representative in this Parliament. [More…]
Any unemployment is a matter of anguish to a Labor member elected as a representative of the trade union movement. [More…]
This Committee stressed that the selection of areas for reservation should be based on objective scientific criteria which would allow for representative ecosystems, protection of threatened species, and the recreation needs of urban populations. [More…]
I repeat my warning to those who are interested in maintaining the repatriation section of the Department as a specialist organisation, representative of the 800,000 veterans, ex-servicemen and women still surviving in Australia, that they are in danger of losing this specialist organisation. [More…]
I do not intend to answer union bashing by becoming an employer basher because I have, throughout my life as a representative of trade unions and of the Labor Party, met many fine people who represent employers. [More…]
Unlike coal industry schemes, that at Broken Hill is not established by legislation, as you well know, Mr Deputy Speaker, through your long experience with the coal mining industry, being a representative of a coal mining area in the Lithgow region. [More…]
-Having heard the honourable member for Eden-Monaro (Mr Whan) speaking on the Estimates for the Department of Agriculture last night I could not let this opportunity pass without informing the people of Eden-Monaro that their representative’s views are not unanimously held. [More…]
We have just listened to a speech by a representative of a party that plunged Australian into the Vietnam conflict. [More…]
He is a representative of a party that during its whole period in office continued to ignore one quarter of the world’s population- the People’s Republic of China or communist China as members of the Opposition still prefer to call it. [More…]
As part of my function as a representative of the then Liberal-Country Party Government I was required to go into the Baltic states. [More…]
We intended right from the beginning- I am now in a position to make the announcement publicly- to set up a tripartite committee in every State consisting of a representative of the Trades and Labour Council, a representative of the employers federation and a representative of my Department, which will act as an overseeing committee - [More…]
I do not know whether the Minister for the Environment and Conservation (Dr Cass) accepts that statement as being representative of the attitude that his Department ought to be taking now. [More…]
The the information officer, whether he be a First Secretary or a mere junior officer in an embassy, has a very real role to play in making sure that he keeps in contact with the media in the countries where he is the representative of the AIS as well as to interpret to government officials the exact Australian policy. [More…]
1 ) The Southern Region Social Development Board is made up of representatives appointed from each of the four Sub-Regions within the total Region. [More…]
Delegates on the Regional Board are not representative of any particular section of the community having been appointed to each SubRegional Community Committee as individuals. [More…]
The Barwon Regional Council for Social Development has 3 categories of membership- nominee, representative and associate. [More…]
I also wish to make it clear that on no occasion has this Union or any representative of this Union attempted to receive ‘indemnity payments’ either on its behalf or any other organisation’s behalf, nor has it admitted doing so except in the context that wages or other payments in respect of conditions of employment are ‘indemnities’ or ‘compensation’ in return for services given. [More…]
Those instances described in the 1968 report of the Victorian Consumer Protection Council are very representative of the unsatisfactory transactions which have been described to me in letters I received from people after I last spoke about Milleradio in this place and after I wrote to the Postmaster-General and suggested that something should be done to correct the abuse. [More…]
It is representative of the industry and the public and has been examining a wide range of important matters. [More…]
I would not dispute that any local authority which has a Labor representative is indeed fortunate, but it is ridiculous to say that that has anything to do with the allocation of these funds. [More…]
I do not want to cast any reflection on Mr Gordon Freeth as Australia’s diplomatic, representative in Japan. [More…]
But if honourable members opposite want to talk about appointing diplomatic representatives I think they should be reminded of the appointment of Mr Freeth. [More…]
As a result of my meeting with representatives of the textiles industries last Monday week a telegram was sent to the Prime Minister telling him of the plight of the textile industries in the area, advising him of the number who already had been retrenched and informing him how many would be retrenched before the Christmas period if nothing were done. [More…]
The Prime Minister was also asked by telegram whether he would send a representative to the Latrobe Valley to explain his statement of 22 October concerning country towns and assistance to their industries. [More…]
I had proposed having another meeting with representatives of these textile industries at which this matter could be explained to them so that they might get the immediate assistance they required. [More…]
The following day I got a rebuff- an indication that the Prime Minister would not send a representative and that the matter had been referred to the Department of Manufacturing Industry. [More…]
That Department could not send a representative to the area because it was too busy. [More…]
I might mention that it is the policy of my Department that funds made available are subject to the limitation that the Post Office representative on the Board is satisfied that the Post Office contribution to the funds is less than, or equal to the total of grants made by the Board to projects and other activities that, in his judgment, are relevant to problems associated with the provision of telecommunication services provided by the Post Office. [More…]
The National Committee consists of an independent Chairman, one representative each of the Australian Government, the ACTU and the central employers ‘ organisations, and three other members, one each with special knowledge of the employment problems of women, immigrants and Aboriginals. [More…]
The origin of this Bill, in one respect, was a meeting held on 22 October last year between representative State Ministers and myself. [More…]
Taking a sample of a child’s work at the end of the year and saying that it represents his ability as displayed over the whole year’s work is like taking a patch of soil out of a paddock, analysing it and saying that it is representative of the soil content of the whole paddock. [More…]
It is just as invalid to take a sample of a child’s work by means of a two or three-hour examination paper at the end of the year, under most pressing circumstances, in a situation of anxiety, and saying that that examination sample is representative of what that child has been able to do throughout the year. [More…]
I think that he would be interested to know what is happening in this legislation because the land which the Government seeks to acquire compulsorily includes three or four Aboriginal missions and, I believe, a portion of Bathurst Island, of which Mr Tungatalum is now the parliamentary representative. [More…]
Where on that Committee is the representative of a small business? [More…]
Has the Opposition thought of the alternative of a totally independent statutory body and of how it could abuse its powers by refusing to make films that it thought were unnecessary and make films in the way in which it wanted to and not in the way in which the Government, as the representative of the people, believes they should be made? [More…]
I am appalled by the information put to the Committee by the Minister for Science (Mr Morrison) in his capacity as the representative in this chamber of the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland). [More…]
Moreton (Mr Killen) has been putting throughout this debate in the Committee stage is that the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland) or his representative in this place, the Minister for Science (Mr Morrison) ought to remove themselves from a position of having control of the statutory authority. [More…]
Unfortunately the airline strike has hit the Waterside Workers Federation and its representative is not now able to come to Canberra tomorrow. [More…]
On Tuesday of this week I was interviewed by a representative of a major American power generating group who indicated that the group would take at least 10 million tonnes of coal a year if we were in a position to provide it, and that this would escalate to 30 million tonnes a year. [More…]
I have a copy of the submission that the Minister’s representative made to the royal commission in Western Australia pointing out the costs involved. [More…]
The second was that the Committee itself, in some representative form, would go back to Yirrkala and discuss with the people what the Committee had said and recommended. [More…]
The statements I intend looking at are representative of the comments of some of the leading minds in the world looking at the same economic problems as we look at. [More…]
Where there are opposing views, informed and meaningful debate should be permitted with a view to working out ways and means of responding to public aspirations for a simplified yet truly representative electoral system. [More…]
The Ministers from the Departments of the Capital Territory and the Northern Territory (formerly Interior), Aboriginal Affairs and a representative of the Minister for Immigration have also attended from time to time. [More…]
I am sure that Hyacinth Tungutalum will be a very worthy representative of his people in the area of Tiwi, which he represents. [More…]
I would like to say, and say quite emphatically, that in considering myself a representative of all the people of the electorate of Wide Bay I respond with a sensitivity and a generosity that would meet with the endorsement of my electorate whenever I am invited to attend a certain function in my capacity as member for the electorate. [More…]
1 ) Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to a report in the July 1974 issue of Channel, the official journal of the ABC Staff Association, that ABC Commissioner Dorothy Edwards, speaking to This Day Tonight staff, claimed it was just as well they had not shown the Antonioni film on China as the ABC’s representative in Peking, Paul Raffaele, could have been killed. [More…]
One particularly worthy of consideration is that a much larger and more representative board of management could be appointed. [More…]
I challenge the honourable member for Boothby (Mr McLeay), the Opposition spokesman on urban and regional development, to cite any specific instance in which I, as the Australian Government representative, have ridden roughshod over any State Minister. [More…]
I have in mind that the membership will consist of a representative of the State association representing eligible organisations, a representative of either the Australian Society of Accountants or the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and an officer from the Department of Social Security. [More…]
It is a wonder that he is even prepared to come here as a representative of the people of the Darling Downs. [More…]
Whether jokingly described as ‘classic De Mac Rococco ‘ or ‘ late Goldwyn Spanish ‘ there is no doubt that it is representative of an era. [More…]
It speaks highly of the integrity of the Meat Board Selection Committee that it rejected such pressures and the appointment of a true grower representative was recommended. [More…]
The Minister wishes to choose the grower representatives from a list prepared by the Australian Wool Industry Conference so that he can cull those he does not want. [More…]
I also have to protest at the propositions floated at the recent Australian Wool Industry Conference where the Minister’s representative indicated that the Minister would not choose people who were beyond 65 years of age. [More…]
In effect the Minister, through his representative at the AWIC was attempting to influence the selection without having to accept responsibility for the ideas floated on his behalf. [More…]
It is merely a farcical recitation by the Minister’s representative of what the Minister proposes and there is no opportunity for the AWIC to get its views placed before the Minister or even to be given scant consideration. [More…]
It thus protects the wool grower by requiring that the Australian Wool Industry Conference, as the representative of wool growers, shall approve of the use of the money in the future. [More…]
At the same time I think there are good grounds to say that the Conference is not fully representative. [More…]
One of the questions to which I would like to know the answer, but I appreciate the reason for the Corporation not wishing to make the figures public, is whether this inventory is truly representative proportionately of the Australian clip. [More…]
Unfortunately, from my own experience as a past representative of Australia on the Colombo Plan Council, there is often a very great discrepancy between the bank of expertise which has been built up in developing countries, paid for and assisted by countries such as Australia, and the efforts those recipient countries make in using those people. [More…]
Not to do so would be to deny constitutional representative government in Australia and to set up a dictatorship in a House which is not based on that form of representation. [More…]
They claim to be representative of their contributors and yet the contributors have no say whatsoever. [More…]
The Hospital Benefits Association in Victoria is slightly better because it has 8 contributor representatives. [More…]
I am sure that they are a pretty representative crowd of the average contributor to that South Australian fund. [More…]
We are going to achieve the millenium in 6 months time, and for those 6 months we are to have these measures which will produce a situation in which any representative of a private health fund who defies the Minister’s directions can be subject to penalties. [More…]
In other words, as some of the Aboriginal land is vested in Australia we cannot ride roughshod over the Aborigines and we cannot ride roughshod over whoever is their representative as far as the Australian Government is concerned: [More…]

As I said on another occasion, he is an elected representative. [More…]

I congratulate him and I think that all honourable members know him well enough to know that he will be a worthy representative. [More…]
He may participate by using photographs or by having a representative on the spot. [More…]

I refer to the separation of Family Court matters from those courts which necessarily deal with criminal offences; the provision for divorce proceedings to be conducted in closed court; the emphasis on the paramountcy of the child’s welfare in custody proceedings; the attempts to improve counselling and reconciliation faculties; the proposals for a continuing study of matters affecting family stability, the working of divorce law and legal aid- provided, of course, this study is conducted in a genuinely representative way. [More…]
Will it aim to buy such a representative collection of the works of young Australian artists of promise, some of whom will unquestionably become the name artists of the future. [More…]

The honourable member for Mackellar is attacking the basis of Parliament when he says that a representative from a State in which the Government party has a minority representation in this Parliament is not entitled to be considered as a representative. [More…]
His blood pressure rises at the thought of the secret, furtive meetings in the night- the knock at the door at 2 a.m., not by the Minister for Services and Property but by some rich and powerful friend of his from outside this Parliament; some representative perhaps of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation or United Fruit or one of the other international conspirators who will knock on his door, not to take something out of the fridge but perhaps to leave something under the bed or some other appropriate place. [More…]
The public needs protection as it does in any other market, and the protection should be provided by appropriate laws coupled with a strong adminstrative agency representative of the public interest. [More…]
Appearing before that committee was a representative of the 3 licensed importers of opium in the United States of America. [More…]
That company’s representative said that during the first 10 months of 1974 the sales of codeine exceeded the imports of crude opium by more than 100 per cent and that the only reason why all 3 processors were not closed down and shortages had not been felt yet at the pharmacy level was the release by the Government in December 1973 of 238 tons of opium from the strategic materials stockpile. [More…]
The representative of the company predicted that a slight increase in India’s poppy production, if the weather improved, and further use of the stockpile would provide about 80 per cent of the medical demand in 1975. [More…]

[More…]
The Court is less representative of the Australian people than are their elected parliamentary representatives. [More…]
We all know that these private health funds are not representative of their contributors. [More…]
But this move was thwarted at the last minute when a carload of Liberal members of Parliament arrived from Parliament House in Melbourne- I understand that Mr John Jess, the former member for La Trobe, was with them- to help pack the meeting in order to maintain control by the small elite in charge of the funds and to prevent proper representative contributor control of those funds. [More…]
One cannot attend a meeting of that character as a representative not of this House but of an outside body without admitting that one is under its standing orders and rules. [More…]
I think it is a very important part of the democratic process that we do not have any governmental organisation which is dependent upon the taxpayers funds not being responsible to this Parliament as the representative of the people. [More…]
I seem to remember the Minister for Agriculture (Senator Wriedt) or his representative in this place saying how diabolical were those primary producer policies which we implemented; that the LiberalCountry Party Government had no knowledge, sympathy or understanding of the problems of the man on the land and that things in the bush were crook when we were in office. [More…]
What we want to see in the Council is a body representative of all groups and guaranteed autonomy for its constituent boards. [More…]
She kindly informed me that on 2 1 January 1975 that for the calendar year 1974 Parramatta, a major city with a huge population and a huge commercial area- and bear in mind that Parramatta is the major city in the western suburbs of Sydney and is notjust representative of my electorate; the honourable member for Mitchell (Mr Cadman), the honourable member for Prospect (Dr Klugman) and the honourable member for Reid (Mr Uren) and their electors look to Parramatta as the major centre of their districts- received a grant of $800 to offset the costs of drama and dance performances at the festival organised by the Parramatta Foundation Week Festival Committee.

[More…]
We were criticised by the honourable member for Kooyong because we have no representative in Dili. [More…]

It would surely be wrong- this country is still a Portuguese colonyfor the Australian Foreign Minister to receive the representative of one of the political parties of that country. [More…]
If a more broadly representative delegation had come to Australia from Timor no doubt the Foreign Minister would not have felt that he was compromising himself, the Government or the people in making a choice of selfdetermination if Australia seemed to be siding with one of the 3 political parties in Portuguese Timor. [More…]
I turn now to the strange provision about attendance by a representative of the Commission at meetings of the stock exchange committee. [More…]

[More…]
The composition of the Council of up to 24 members provides adequate scope for it to be widely representative of community interests. [More…]
What nerve for him, a representative of the Liberal Party, to make that outrageous proposition. [More…]
I find it incredible that the elected representative of the two largest organisations in Australia should be denied any chance to put his views to the public simply because the owner of a station licence is opposed to those views. [More…]
In this kind of situation I regard myself very much as the representative of the people. [More…]
It might be appropriate for me to tell the Committee, as a consolidation of that enthusiastic attitude that I have indicated, that it is my intention to provide on the board of the Corporation a representative of the Returned Services League so that the interests of ex-servicemen can be effectively safeguarded. [More…]
So far as the Housing Corporation is concerned, I propose 2 things: First in order that the Corporation should be fully representative, I have circulated an amendment increasing its size from 6 to 8. [More…]

In this Bill we see that the Commissioner of Commonwealth Railways is to be replaced by a 7-man commission which, I understand, apart from having representatives of the various geographical areas of Australia also will have a member elected from the trade union movement to assist in the conduct of the railway system. [More…]
There already are union representatives on two of the State transport systems. [More…]
There are many precedents for the appointment of a trade union representative on a national commission. [More…]
Then let us look at the attitudes of Dr Bruce Eastick, who leads the Liberal Party Opposition in the South Australian State Parliament, and Senator Steele Hall, who leads the Liberal Movement, and is that Party’s only representative in this Parliament. [More…]

1 ) With reference to the press release by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, dated 20 December 1974, in which reference was made to a meeting of the leaders of the South Pacific Forum held in Western Samoa 11 to 16 December 1974, did Australia send a sufficiently high representative when practically all the other countries were represented by Prime Ministers, Presidents, Chief Ministers or Premiers. [More…]
Any representative of any fund who says that the Australian Government is preventing it from paying a full benefit rate to people in the circumstances outlined by the honourable member for Kingston is being totally dishonest. [More…]
An appeals tribunal system has been established in each State within the Department of Social Security and staffed by one departmental representative, because of the benefit of experience that he can bring to bear in such a tribunal, and 2 outside people who are selected because of their qualifications and experience in various fields and who accordingly, because they are outside people and experienced, can bring impartiality to bear in judgments on appeals. [More…]
The basic objection to the principle embodied in this clause is that under our parliamentary systemnot necessarily those of the countries referred to by the Prime Minister, many of which have very different systems- which is the result of evolution and of hundreds of years of development of a representative system of democracy in Britain, members of Parliament remain individuals. [More…]
There have been important occasions in the proceedings of this House on which members who have come in as party representatives- incidentally, those who have come in as Independents also have played an important part- have taken an individual role and a role that is sometimes at variance with that of their party. [More…]
I pointed out that the formalising of the existing party structure gives advantage to existing parties and makes it very difficult for new ones because it is completely against the representative parliamentary democracy that has been developed in this country. [More…]
To provide that New South Wales must have 12 seats in a House of Representatives election contested by a party before it can have its name on the ballot paper only goes to point up the difficulties that can arise and the unfairness of these provisions to small Parties. [More…]
I understand that one such small party that does not happen to have a representative in the Parliament has protested- I think rather logically protested- against this proposal. [More…]
This is typical and representative of the attitude that this Government takes towards regimenting and registering just about everything which could come vaguely within its ambit under the Constitution. [More…]
-Or ‘religion- Anglican ‘-that would be wrong too, I suppose- and add ‘failed the Leaving Certificate, union representative’ and a series of other matters which the electorate is just as entitled to know in formulating a view as to how it will vote. [More…]
On the surface the proposal to register parties might appear to have some attraction, but when it is subjected to a closer scrutiny extensive effects are revealed which impinge on elections in Australia for our representative parliamentary democracy. [More…]
Let us examine those matters which will bring greater convenience to the elector and give no advantage or provide no disadvantage to any candidate whether or not he or she be a representative of a political Party. [More…]
This would be more relevant in a Senate election than a House of Representatives election where generally there are fewer candidates. [More…]
However, in passing I mention the general election of 1 966 for the House of Representatives when at least one long-standing and highly regarded member of this House lost his seat because of a fairly high informal vote. [More…]
On my visit to Tasmania in February I arranged for Sir Roland Wilson to act as my personal representative in relation to matters concerning the collapse of the bridge and its aftermath. [More…]

This Council drafted guidelines for the initiation of the Centre’s functions, held a representative conference, considered the views expressed and presented a statement of its conclusions as to the functions and mode of operation of the Curriculum Development Centre. [More…]
I point out, however, at this time that we do not see these nominees as playing the role of delegate or representative. [More…]
Firstly there is his amendment which shows the obsession that he has that the States should as of right have a representative on the Technical and Further Education Commission. [More…]
Now we are told that although the Liberal-Country Party Government was far too sensible when it was in office to appoint to the Universities Commission or the Commission of Advanced Education, which could recommend grants of money from the Commonwealth Treasury, anybody who was said to be a representative of a State governmentalthough universities and colleges of advanced education are not strictly State institutions; they are supposed to be independent and autonomous once the Crown has established them through a State- here is a proposition that a body to make grants to the States, to give access to the Commonwealth Treasury, should be studded with representatives of State Governments. [More…]
I did attempt to let his representative in this House know that I was going to talk on this subject tonight, but I believe he is unavailable. [More…]

[More…]
Finally, in this context of overall Government economic and industrial policy, we must face sooner or later the problem that is critically important to the survival of representative government. [More…]
But we have that representation with Cambodia and tomorrow the Ambassador who has formerly represented the Lon Nol Government, will raise the flag of the Sihanouk Government in Canberra, and a representative of the Australian Government should be on his doorstep when he opens for business tomorrow morning. [More…]
The committee which has been constituted to administer the funds- there is a research committee and a promotion committee- includes in its membership Government representatives. [More…]
From our point of view, the Opposition sees an advantage in there being government representatives on the committee, but I personally find it dashed hard to understand why there should be a Government representative if the Government is not going to provide money to this committee. [More…]
We on this side of the House are very tempted to move amendments to the legislation which would ensure that there would be no Government representative on the committee unless the Government was prepared to provide some funds. [More…]
The Committee includes representatives from the Australian Commercial Pig Producers Federation, the Australian Agricultural Council and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, and also a representative from a university and from the department. [More…]
The committee is to consist of 2 representatives of the Australian Commercial Pig Producers Federation, a departmental representative and one person chosen for his marketing experience. [More…]
The Federation is to nominate to the Minister the representatives of its body to be appointed. [More…]
The chairman of the committee, as pointed out by the honourable member for New England, will be the departmental representative. [More…]
I understand that administrative expenses that are incurred by reason of the fact that we have a government representative on the Promotion Committee will be met from the promotion fund and expenses that are incurred by departmental representatives in the normal course of their duties will be met by the Department. [More…]
Frankly, whilst the legal term ‘Common informer’ may still be appropriate, I do not think it is appropriate to use it as a derogatory term in respect of a person who insists that his parliamentary representative or parliamentary representatives of the Australian people adhere to the law which governs this Par.liament [More…]
It comes within the system, but it is unrepresentative of its class; it has so few pilots as members that it cannot be said to be representative. [More…]
-As is known, I am the representative in this House of the shadow Minister for the Media. [More…]
One can imagine if the honourable member for Darling Downs (Mr McVeigh) were placed on the Council as a representative of the Opposition how shocked and horrified he would be if the name Karl Marx appeared on the syllabus to be presented to any class of the trade union college which is to be set up. [More…]
People who come to Australia from the United Kingdom, where the system is such that the shop steward is a power unto himself on the factory floor, fail to understand why some person, whether a trade union official or an employer organisation representative, who is very far removed from the work place, should be able to dictate to them what they should do. [More…]
For that reason it is essential, as suggested in the amendment foreshadowed by the Opposition, that we broaden the basis for the Council so that there are representatives of the Federal Parliament from both the Government and the Opposition sides, as well as a representative of the Minister for Education. [More…]
It is very pleasing for me as a representative of a large area of dried fruit growers to know that the Government is very keen to support the desires of the industry. [More…]
Certainly it weakens the reliance the Court should be able to place on the independence of persons representative of the diverse interests involved. [More…]
That emphasis was towards the establishment of a government which was representative of the people and which took responsibility for the growth of the people and the welfare of its citizens. [More…]
a number of your Country Party Parliamentary colleagues met in the Party room for a discussion with me and a representative of the general insurance industry. [More…]
In broad terms the aims of this Bill are these: To set up an Australian Heritage Commission on a broad and representative basis to advise the Government and the Parliament on the condition of the National Estate and how it should be protected; to establish and maintain a register of the things that make up the National Estate; to require that the Australian Government, its departments and agencies, and those acting on its behalf, respect the National Estate and do all that they can to preserve it. [More…]
The National Capital Development Commission and the Department of the Capital Territory have met with representative committees and individual residents of Reid, and also representatives of the Trades and Labour Council and the Low Cost accommodation Committee. [More…]
Constructive discussion has now reached a stage of agreement where the National Capital Development Commission will soon present a draft brief and subsequently sketch plans to the representative bodies concerned with the development of Reid. [More…]
The UNHCR sent his regional representative in South-East Asia to Singapore to make contact with the refugees. [More…]
It was quite some days before the Singapore authorities allowed the UNHCR ‘s regional representative to make contact with the refugees. [More…]
-My heathen friend opposite with the beard who represents the seat of Kingston would not understand what we are talking about, but I am quite sure that come the next election he will no longer be a representative in this Parliament. [More…]
I understand that a representative of the Tasmanian Government inspected the ferry whilst it was in the water after it had been unslipped in Sydney. [More…]
Clause 75, which is now before the Committee, with that additional amendment was carried by the Senate -a Senate which is representative of all the parties in this chamber. [More…]
Is the availability of Hansard at low cost considered to be highly desirable as pan of our representative parliamentary democracy. [More…]
The second representative of the undergraduate student body provided in section 3 of the Bill brings to three the number of such representatives and is in keeping with the general increase in student numbers in the School of General Studies. [More…]
I will regret not continuing as the representative of the Kingston-Kingston Beach-Blackman’s Bay area if this redistribution is passed by both Houses, because I have particularly good relations with many of the electors in that area. [More…]
The devotion which they have paid to the effectiveness of the representative parliamentary government is obvious. [More…]
The importance of that definition is that, as it stands, sub-clause 12(1 )(c) expects the insurer, the AGIC, to be the representative of those persons seeking insurance. [More…]
The company’s representative has said that the number of animals and reptiles which are killed daily on the roads must amount to thousands. [More…]
It is known that a representative of the AWGC, Mr D. Trebeck, discussed Mrs Rolfe ‘s statement with Mr Anthony ‘s office on Monday morning. [More…]
Having heard the honourable member for Wimmera- who, I might add, apart from the fact that he will lose his seat, is a resident of my former home town of Horsham and is a member of the Party of which my father was a representative in the State House- I can understand well and truly why the National Country Party is opposed to this redistribution. [More…]
They travelled to 37 centres, representative of most areas of the State, in order to gain first hand knowledge of local conditions, administrative arrangements and particular requirements of local government bodies. [More…]
We are not getting a decent representative administration on behalf of the Australian people; all we are getting is a presentation that one would think emanated from a Labor Party political meeting. [More…]
There are theories about the functions of representative government in eliciting the common will of society, but those theories are somewhat vague and optimistic. [More…]
Why should these people not see their representative? [More…]
Eden-Monaro is representative of the total community and of its geography. [More…]

To set up an Australian Heritage Commission on a broad and representative basis to advise the Government and the Parliament on the condition of the National Estate and how it should be protected; [More…]
I refer in this respect to the recommendations of the House of Representatives Select Committee on Wildlife Conservation with regard to the biological survey. [More…]
At the present time we have nowhere near sufficient national parks to give a representative group of Australian ecosystems. [More…]
Is it a fact that a report in respect of the Government’s overseas borrowings was given by the Bank of England to the Treasury representative in London? [More…]

I should like to say too that having voted on the principle in this one of 4 areas, the Opposition will not pursue the proposed amendments on this matter and ask for them to be put to a vote; we will simply confine our debate to representative clauses of the areas that we wish to see amended. [More…]
Even though the Liberal Party may have expelled him from the Party, he must still have a lot of friends in the Party, because at the very meeting at which it expelled him it decided to oppose this legislation to make quite sure that he will get into the Senate as a representative of the Australian Capital Territory at the next election. [More…]
Mr el Surani is the chief representative of the PLO in Egypt. [More…]
Similarly, Mr el Surani does not come to Australia as a PLO member but as a representative of the Arab League who also just happens to be a senior PLO officer and will likewise have no other purpose in this country than arguing the PLO view. [More…]
After the statement of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) on the acceptability of Mr el Surani as an Arab League representative, the media headlined the story in this way: The ‘West Australian’ newspaper carried the headline ‘PM “Happy” to meet PLO man’. [More…]
That is a shame and, unfortunately, not helped at all by the equation offered by the Prime Minister between the acceptability of Mr el Surani and of a representative of the World Zionist Organisation. [More…]
The Minister talks of numbers and of the principle of one vote one value yet this redistribution stands in stark contrast with all of those pious platitudes that he has expressed because the value of a vote is equally destroyed if many people in vast areas of Australia are effectively denied access to their parliamentary representative. [More…]
The committee includes Dr Mccloskey, of the Victorian Department of Health; Mr A. McVeigh, of the Victorian Department of Health; Mr E. Ryan, of the Victorian Department of Education; Mr H. McPhee, of the Victorian Department of Social Welfare; Mr D. Neville, of the Victorian Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation; Councillor Portingale, a local government representative; Mrs Mccaughey, a community representative and Mrs Witney King a community representative. [More…]
The one person who was not appointed by the Victorian Government was Mrs B. Spalding, who was a representative of the Brotherhood of St Laurence. [More…]
Honourable members should bear in mind that Mrs Spalding, our representative on the Interim Commission in Victoria, is a full time organiser for this Government in the Interim Commission and is appointed by the Brotherhood of St Laurence. [More…]
I do not mind the Prime Minister being somewhat proud that he is a member from New South Wales- the most populous State, as he described it on this occasion and as he has described it on many occasions with some relish- but may I, as a representative of one of the other States, draw to his attention that when this Federation was formed a condition on which the other States came into it and on which it was founded was that they would have an equal say in the Senate. [More…]
For instance, the South Australian Government has the right to appoint to the Australian National Railways Commission a part time representative for 2 consecutive terms of 5 years. [More…]
Under the Tasmanian agreement the Tasmanian Government can appoint a representative for only one term of 5 years. [More…]
In relation to the Australian Shipping Commission the Tasmanian Government is given the right to appoint a representative to that Commission for one 5-year term. [More…]
For that matter I believe that the Government should be on the corporation as a representative of the consumers. [More…]
These are a very small cabal of people not representative of the contributors but in many cases are representative of the organised medical profession, answerable to nobody and never consulting the contributors whom they are supposed to serve. [More…]

He said: ‘Although there is no representative of the Australian Government here I, as an Australian, am delighted to be able to greet you. ‘ [More…]
The situation was even more anomalous as representatives of the Department of Foreign Affairs had told us that the plant had been closed down 6 months before. [More…]
I think that at least a representative from each manufacturing State with additional representatives from States such as Victoria, which produces about 60 per cent of the total butter manufacture, should be on the Corporation. [More…]
The Bill also makes provision for the appointment of one employee representative and one Government representative. [More…]
Is the employee representative to be an employee of a dairy farmer, such as a very good and well versed share farmer who has considerable experience in the industry, or will it be someone who washes vats at a factory or has something to do with the manufacturing side? [More…]

I think that he is only what might be termed the official representative. [More…]
I have no doubt that because of it he will remain their representative for a great many years. [More…]

It is fundamental to an effective system of representative government that the people’s representatives should be able adequately to supervise and review the activities of government administration. [More…]
Let me stress once more that due to the representation of all three levels of government and non-government voluntary community welfare agencies the Western Adelaide Regional Council for Social Development serves very well the role of a co-operating and liaising body which does not impose its views on the community but is representative of community opinion. [More…]
It provided for the appointment of a United Nations special representative, a move suggested and supported by the Australian Government before the Council. [More…]
Australia’s position nevertheless was set out again by our representative in a statement before the Council on 14 April last. [More…]
The Australian representative at the United Nations, Mr Harry, in his last statement in relation to the question of East Timor, made this point. [More…]
We note from the special representative’s report, although his visit was hardly a total success, that the parties principally concerned also are agreed on the need for United Nations involvement in selfdetermination for the territory. [More…]
The Australian position was set out clearly by our representative in a statement before the Council on 14 April. [More…]
I do not accept the proposition that welfare agencies in the Australian community or the aged people who are dependent upon this program are representative of the soft society, that this measure is necessary so that people will be saved from the moral degradation which flows from being victims of the soft society. [More…]
They are a point of view that was put to the Committee by the National Civic Council’s prime representative, Mr John Maynes, who came into the meeting without warning and threw onto the table of the meeting of the Committee opinions and legal views prepared by Mr Tony Macken who I am told by people inside the NCC is to succeed Santamaria as the Chairman of the NCC if he does not get appointed to the Industrial Court first. [More…]
Such were the actions perpetrated by the Senate in the first place and by the Queen’s representative in the second, that certain people who did have faith in the parliamentary system of government now threaten to take their own actions. [More…]
I hope these figures are representative. [More…]
In reports to the Labor Government by the Insurance Conference Committee, a very widely representative group of insurance companies, proposals were made for the introduction of a natural disaster insurance scheme in Australia to compensate for the loss of or damage to private property by flood, earthquake and tropical cyclones. [More…]

The airlines and the representative organisation of the charter operators accept that it is appropriate to increase the limit of liability as now proposed, and they are prepared to pay the modest increase in insurance costs involved. [More…]
It is with a great sense of honour that I stand here in this chamber as the representative of a great electorate, the electorate of Braddon in Tasmania. [More…]
I believe, as I said at the commencement of my remarks, that honourable gentlemen opposite stand charged with having engaged in an extraordinary debate on economic matters in which they devoted an enormous amount of time to vituperative, impertinent and out of order references to the Queen’s Representative in Australiatheir own appointment in any event. [More…]
He worked, not in the physical sense, under the financial editor, Mr F. N. Course, who later became Patrick Partners’ representative in Melbourne. [More…]
As soon as the Prime Minister heard from the Ambassador, as soon as he learned that the Australian Government was involved in this inquiry through its representative overseas, he should have told his -Deputy Prime Minister and his Country Party confederates to lay off. [More…]
It involved the Australian Government’s representatives overseas. [More…]
Fortuitously, Tancred has its resident representative, direct from its board room, in this House- the honourable member for Macarthur (Mr Baume). [More…]
He is on the Loan Council as the representative of the Queensland government in his office as Premier. [More…]
However, a fairly recent public opinion survey in Australia on Australian stamp designs and the subjects depicted on the stamps, showed that 64 per cent rated a representative sample of stamps as very good and good, 24 per cent rated them as average and 7 per cent considered the stamps poor and very poor.

He, in his regionalism policy, was seeking to establish the structures that would enable him to so destroy the States and at the same time abolish local government bodies as representative forms of government, replacing them with administative regions implementing the policies determined here m Canberra. [More…]
That turn around of something in excess of US$35 billion is representative of the effect largely of the oil crisis and the actions of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries in pursuing the policy on the pricing of oil that they chose to pursue. [More…]
I consider his position to be truly representative of the positions being maintained opposite. [More…]
Each local government body in each region was asked to elect a representative to the Regional Organisation council. [More…]
In particular, we are hopeful that the United Nations special representative will soon be able to visit East Timor, again in accordance with his mandate, to reassess the situation in the territory. [More…]
I have no information which would lead me to conclude that Indonesia will obstruct the return of the United Nations representative to East Timor. [More…]
Of course, had the questioner listened to the answer I gave in reply to the question asked by the honourable member for Lalor he would have heard me say that we have hopes for some form of United Nations presence to return to East Timor and specifically that Mr Winspeare Guicciardi will resume his visit to reassess the wishes of a greater number and more representative number of people within East Timor than he was able to do before. [More…]
The short answer to the latter part of the question is as I stated, that we have no indication that Indonesia seeks to obstruct, but we would wish the United Nations representative to act with some expedition in getting to Timor. [More…]
I said: ‘Tell the Treasurer s representative that this thing has now been settled and that the Minister intervening in the case has decided so and so.’ [More…]
I presume that the honorable member for Mackellar is considering that one Australian Electoral Office representative could act for all candidates. [More…]
It is going to do a deal with the very trade union leaders that it claims are not representative of the rank and file. [More…]
We are not really concerned about getting into these positions people who are really representative of trade unionists. [More…]

To my mind and in the eyes of many practical exponents of the dairy industry the Australian Dairy Corporation is not representative of the total industry. [More…]
It is not representative of the State. [More…]
Has the Foreign Minister seen the reports of the Queensland Premier’s criticism of the Australian Government’s decision not to send a representative to the ‘People’s Assembly’ of East Timor? [More…]
For instance, the representative on Goulburn Island is seldom to be found anywhere else but on Goulburn Island. [More…]
Where is the representative at Papunya? [More…]
We should not just pay fares for the representatives to come to Canberra and say: ‘This is great’ and return and sit back in their places and do nothing whatsoever. [More…]
Whilst appreciating the complexity of the task of formulating a workable scheme I would be failing in my duty as the representative of the people of Braddon if I did not echo their concern over the delay. [More…]

Set up an Australian Heritage Commission on a broad and representative basis- a basis which ensured that all interests, interests of the various States and Territories and the public and private sectors as well as the interests of concerned Australians- to advise the Government and the Parliament on the condition of the National Estate and how it should be protected. [More…]
They were representative of the areas of expertise involved with the consideration of the National Estate and its preservation. [More…]
There were scientists and architects and very distinguished public servants representative of all the States in Australia. [More…]
That proposal was put forward in the belief that all States should be guaranteed at least one representative on the Commission. [More…]
The spirit of the proposal was accepted by the Labor Government, and in fact it was our intention to appoint to the Commission representatives of all States and Territories. [More…]
The Cabinet of the day recommended that a commission be set up which was representative of all States and Territories, including the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. [More…]
The Government now is arguing that a smaller and less representative commission will be a more efficient and more meaningful advisory body. [More…]
The second is whether it is representative enough of the States’ interests to be able to do its job. [More…]
How do we choose a man who will be a representative of a State when we are trying to decide which interest he should represent? [More…]
a representative or official of a state or an official or other agent of an international organization of an inter-governmental character or a member of the family of such a person forming part of his household. [More…]
The approach to the particular paper referred to was not made directly by myself or by my staff but by a representative of” Victoria’s Lebanese community. [More…]
They were made in honest error by the Lebanese representative who contacted the newspaper. [More…]
It will include representatives of national welfare bodies and voluntary social welfare agencies, and will be serviced by the Department of Social Security. [More…]
Arrangements are also being made to develop regular consultation between the Department of Social Security and organisations representative of women’s interests. [More…]
A Queensland representative in the other place has criticised the Budget because, he says, it does nothing for northern Australia. [More…]
I would be more impressed by the representative of the AMWU if he arranged a work-in. [More…]
I am hopeful that the Government will take some note of what I have said today, look at this very important area of Melbourne- I guess it is only representative of other areas- look at the lack of services in the area, do some planning and make available funds to provide the services. [More…]
If the honourable member had any knowledge of that health service he would know that the level at which pensioner medical cards were obtainable was a matter of agreement between the Government and the Australian Medical Association, which is the representative of the doctors. [More…]
The convention that the Queen or her representative shall act according to the advice of her Ministers was - [More…]
-The convention that the Queen or her representative shall act according to the advice of her Ministers was a convention that had been observed strictly by the Sovereign for well over a century in all countries in which the Westminster system operated. [More…]
Is he in fact the representative for the Opposition in this Parliament in relation to defence or is he seeking, for some purpose peculiar and best known to himself, to trample across the economic representation held on the other side of the House by the honourable member for Adelaide? [More…]
In view of the effective and representative participation of the medical profession in developing these revised arrangements, I anticipate that high quality pathology services will continue to be available throughout Australia and that the lower levels of fees for benefits purposes contemplated by the proposals will be generally accepted. [More…]
The Sydney representative of the Japanese Livestock Industry and Promotion Corporation has advised that if Australian exporters are unable to ship to tender dates, Japan will look elsewhere for beef supplies. [More…]
That is why we find not one representative of the Labor Party sitting in this Parliament today who is from a genuinely rural area. [More…]
It knew very well that as a party it had constantly championed itself as being the representative of the underprivileged and the less fortunate. [More…]
On 5 August I was pleased to be able to discuss the matter with a visiting LATA group of some 1 1 representatives, together with a representative of the non-IATA airlines serving Australia. [More…]
He has a Deputy- a very talented man; the representative of a Sydney seat- whose policies are running contrary to his own. [More…]
The Labor Party was so basically right that it no longer has a representative in a major rural electorate. [More…]
I suggest that there be some discussion between the Leader of the House and the Opposition’s representative before the Chair is resumed. [More…]
At least he was a representative of the working class of this country which still contains the great majority of Australians. [More…]
Frankly, as a member who represents an outer western electorate of Sydney, I am ashamed that any honourable member would pretend to be a representative of that western area and adopt the attitude that unemployment is not a serious problem in the western suburbs, and would go into his caucus room and support the Government in its attitude that it should not bring in a system of unemployment relief, particularly for our young people. [More…]
Now the criticism of her representative in Australia is leaving the streets and going into a grand debate at public meetings. [More…]
The issue is still- no member of the Opposition can burke or deny it- the right of the House of Commons or of the House of Representatives to have the power of the purse, to vote money, to spend money, to impose and to collect taxes. [More…]
The National Library for its part was pleased to receive a collection of such a high quality and which was so representative of life in a country town at the turn of the century. [More…]
For over 30 years in South Australia we suffered not a gerrymander but what was termed a playmander, in that 2 representatives from the country had to be elected for every representative from the city. [More…]
The president of the club became a Bally representative for reward. [More…]
On 22 December the Security Council passed a resolution calling on governments to co-operate fully with the Secretary-General’s special representative in establishing contact with all the parties in Timor. [More…]
The Prime Minister, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the then PostmasterGeneral, the honourable member for Curtin (Mr Garland), made clandestine efforts to detect and silence the Fretilin radio while failing to offer the special representative official contacts with the territory, as the United Nations resolution required. [More…]
Despite the specific terms of the United Nations resolution the Fraser Government failed to make available to the special representative any transport and communications equipment which would have enabled him to make the fullest and earliest recommendations to the Security Council, it failed to make available to international aid agencies any transport, medical and food supplies required to succour or evacuate persons in the Territory and it failed to offer a venue for talks between all the parties in East Timor. [More…]
-I noticed a report in today’s Australian newspaper to the effect that moves in London and Canberra are continuing so as to enable Prince Charles to become the Queen’s representative in Australia. [More…]
In Canberra it was possible to talk directly to the representatives of all the responsible authorities- housing, education, transport or water supply- around the table and come to a group decision. [More…]
There are many advantages in having people retain their functions in society- in the universities, in commerce and in the Public Serviceand serve in a representative capacity. [More…]
At that meeting Mr Jamison introduced to the creditors a Mr Cox who was known as the doctors’ representative- ‘doctors’ meaning medical practitioners. [More…]
This was a deliberate attempt to cut off the independence movement in East Timor from the outside world and to scuttle the visit of the United Nations representative, Mr WinspeareGiucciardi, to East Timor. [More…]
Clause 10 deals with the appearance of a party before the High Court, either personally or by a representative. [More…]
That representative may be a legal practitioner of the High Court or of the supreme court of a State or Territory, or may be a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nauru. [More…]
In order to overcome the problem which local government faces we propose that there be a local government representative from each State and otherwise the membership should remain as it is. [More…]
In October 1973 I met the Premiers and put to them a proposition I had put in my Party’s election campaign a year before- that aldermen and councillors from each State should choose a representative to speak and vote on their behalf at the Loan Council. [More…]
It would have been possible for the Loan Council to admit local government representatives because the Financial Agreement, pursuant to section 105A of the Constitution, permits the 7 heads of government in Australia to agree on such arrangements for the Loan Council provided they are unanimous on the question. [More…]
At that time all the Liberals who attended that Convention, that is, 8 Liberals from South Australia and Tasmania and the Liberal Movement representative from South Australia, voted against the proposition. [More…]
Yet at the Melbourne meeting of the Constitutional Convention a year ago when the proposition came up for a vote that the Constitution should be amended by holding a referendum to provide for the borrowing of money by the Com- monwealth for local government bodies constituted under the law of a State or Territory, there again State Liberals who attended- the 8 from South Australia and Tasmania and the Liberal Movement representative from South Australiaall voted against the proposition. [More…]
It was carried of course because the local government representatives supported it and they still want it. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition was seeking to establish a unitary, unicameral system of government with one Australian Parliament vested with plenary powers consisting only of a House of Representatives. [More…]
His aim was to replace the elected representative in local government and the elected representative in State government by a Federal bureaucrat who would be instructed to follow the guidelines of policy determined by a single parliament here in Canberra. [More…]
It is at least pleasing that the Government has rejected the proposal to include only 3 local government representatives. [More…]
This number has been increased to six but much of the force of this change has been dimmed by the failure to give each State a guaranteed local government representative. [More…]
With only 3 local government representatives a gross imbalance of representation could not have been avoided. [More…]
The wisdom of Solomon could not have devised a system which would have selected 3 local government representatives from the whole of Australia in a way that was even remotely fair. [More…]
Even a single representative from each State would face a mammoth task in putting a viewpoint acceptable to the range of local government within its own borders. [More…]
The task is multiplied a hundredfold if selection of local government representatives is undertaken without regard to State representation. [More…]
Much as I subscribe to a wider viewpoint in government I am realistic enough to accept that disregarding State differences in nominating local government representatives just will not work. [More…]
For this reason we urge the Government to revise its approach and to write into the legislation the principle that each State should have its own local government representative elected from its local government organ. [More…]
The extent to which local government should participate is, of course, recognised by the inclusion of sufficient membership to ensure that each State has a local government representative. [More…]
As the Bill now stands, it is the Australian Council of Local Government Associations which will nominate the 6 local government representatives on the Advisory Council for Inter-Government Relations. [More…]
The amendment I have moved would provide that the representative on the Advisory Council for Inter-Government Relations from each State should be chosen by the elected members of local government bodies in that State. [More…]
In other words, the aldermen and the councillors in each State should decide who should be their representative on the Advisory Council we are establishing by means of this Bill. [More…]
Surely not even he can find an argument based on State sovereignty for saying that the local government representative on this Council should not be chosen by the aldermen and councillors in each State rather than being chosen by this Australian Council of Local Government Associations. [More…]
The States, under the Bill as it is, have no right to say who will be the local government representatives on the Advisory Council for Inter-Government Relations. [More…]
The amendment would provide that the State representative in each case should be chosen by the people who have been elected to local government bodies in that State. [More…]
If all the aldermen and councillors within a respective State select their representative on this Advisory Council this must have greater moral support from local government than if that person were appointed by a body in Canberra. [More…]
All we are asking the Government is to give the right to local government aldermen at their local grass roots level to have a say in the matter of electing their representative on their Council. [More…]
The aldermen in Tasmania are the ones who should determine who will be their representative. [More…]
-The heavy hand of a centralist directive as to the method of election of representatives. [More…]
It provides that there shall be one representative from local government from each of the 6 States of Australia. [More…]
The reason the number was increased from three to six was simply to make it physically and numerically possible for there to be one representative from each State. [More…]
I cannot for one moment conceive that the Council of Local Government Associations will take its charter under clause 8 ( 1 ) (k) and then say: ‘We will not appoint one representative from South Australia and we will not appoint a representative from Queensland.’ [More…]
The second point is that the various States may desire their representatives to be chosen by different means. [More…]
He has seen that because I have said that the method by which the elected aldermen and councillors in each State should choose a representative for that State on the Advisory Council for Inter-Government Relations should be in accordance with a method determined by the Council of Local Government Associations. [More…]
Of course, this Australia-wide body is the very body which under the Government’s Bill will choose the representatives of local government for all the States. [More…]
It seems reasonable enough that, representing local government all over, it should suggest the method by which the aldermen and councillors in each State should choose their representative on the Advisory Council for Inter-Government Relations. [More…]
Obviously in this amendment I am not suggesting that the Federal Government should, by regulations under the Act, prescribe the method of election of the local government representative in each State. [More…]
I am not suggesting that the State Parliament in each case should suggest how the local government representative for that State should be chosen. [More…]
I am suggesting that the very body which this Bill nominates- the Australian Council of Local Government Associations-should suggest the method by which local government elected persons in each State should themselves elect a representative for themselves on the Advisory Council for InterGovernment Relations. [More…]
Of course, under the Bill, the body could choose a representative for any State, for several States or for all States, who would not be the choice of the aldermen and councillors in that State. [More…]
Of course it is quite obvious that the real objection of members on the Government side who have spoken is this: They want the representatives from local government in each State to be as unknown or as unrepresentative as possible. [More…]
If the aldermen and councillors in each State were to choose their representative themselves the person they choose would speak with very great authority indeed. [More…]
What we do as regards the States representatives is to see that they are members of Parliament and that they are in effect chosen by a majority of members of their parliament. [More…]
Here the person who is chosen as the local government representative does not have to be an elected person at all. [More…]
Their real motives are to make this Advisory Council for InterGovernment Relations as far as local government is concerned as little representative and as little known as possible. [More…]
We ensured that the boards of the Council would be largely autonomous and as representative as possible, and that their membership would rotate, in order to avoid the formation of cliques and entrenched interests. [More…]
By reducing the numbers of people sitting on boards administered by the Australia Council from a range of upwards of eleven to perhaps as low as six, including the chairman, the Government has made very real the possibility that some boards may no longer be representative but will become the playground of one or another clique. [More…]
The United States representative at this year’s ANZUS meeting, Deputy Secretary of State Charles Robinson, showed his opinion of the Soviet threat when he addressed the National Press Club on 4 August immediately after the ANZUS talks which he had attended. [More…]
But I would like to say something about the situation of Connair Pty Ltd and the misunderstanding that appears to have taken place with the would-be shadow Minister for Transport or the would-be representative for transport on the Labor side, the honourable member for Shortland (Mr Morris). [More…]
Two years later he became President of the University’s Students Representative Council. [More…]
We saw him become President of the Students’ Representative Council at Melbourne University. [More…]
The fact that Lord Novar called in aid two ‘outside’, though very distinguished, authorities on constitutional practice illustrates the difficulties confronting a King’s representative who is not himself expert in a very difficult topic. [More…]
I am the representative of an electorate in the Preston region in Victoria where, of the 35 high schools, ten are declared disadvantaged. [More…]
We want unions to be truly representative of their members. [More…]
That particular case is representative of many such cases. [More…]
It is quite wrong to state, as has been stated recently, that Sir Henry Bland is some sort of Liberal representative, just as it was wrong to suggest that the late Professor Downing was a Labor representative. [More…]
Of course it is essential that the nature or composition of the college be truly representative of the membership. [More…]
The provisions of the Act in section 140 (1) (c)- that the rules of an organisation may not impose conditions which are oppressive, unreasonable or unjust- and the associated regulation 1 15 will continue to provide the basis for members to enforce the representative nature of any such electoral college as may exist or become established. [More…]
It was done 2 years ago when Mr Milliken, a representative of the Kennecott interests, came to Canberra and interviewed the then Treasurer, Mr Crean, and myself and told us of Kennecott ‘s problem, namely, the divestiture order of the United States Supreme Court under the terms of the monopoly laws in the United States of America and said that Kennecott wanted to sell and had to sell its coal interests as distinct from its copper interests. [More…]
I have pointed out to the House already that the colleges of all unions, without exception, are not equally representative of the States. [More…]
It has only one representative. [More…]
How many representatives does it have from Western Australia? [More…]
How many representatives does it have from Tasmania? [More…]
It is an invaluable document in the history of Government consideration of Aboriginal affairs and particularly the type of representative or advisory Aboriginal bodies intended to assist the Commonwealth in carrying out its responsibilities to the Aboriginal people. [More…]
In reply to a question asking for receipts from Avis last year and the estimates for this year, the departmental representative stated: [More…]
The report says flatly that ‘it does not support the view that there should be a representative from each State’. [More…]
What the Government is doing is using these 2 changes- a representative from each State and 2 women members- as an excuse to sack the whole Commission. [More…]
The Labor Government did not change the legislation to enable an ABC staff representative to be appointed. [More…]
It was the fault of the Government if in the past the ABC Commissioners were dominated by representatives from the State of New South Wales. [More…]
Does the Minister agree with his colleague’s statement, and if so can he say when he is going to appoint a trade union representative to the board of Qantas Airways Ltd, following the resignation of Jack Egerton from all trade union activities? [More…]
Also, can he say when he is going to appoint trade union representatives to the National Airlines Commission and to the National Material Handling Bureau which are commissions and authorities under his jurisdiction. [More…]
We saw extraordinary attitudes developing, where in the free hand-out society students believed that they should have their student representative council fees paid for them by the government. [More…]
The Committee’s report will attempt to be fairly representative of this debate. [More…]
The rehabilitation Seminar (within our Housing Activities) drew participants from as far afield as South Australia with a representative of the South Australian Housing Trust here to snow us how their admirable program is working. [More…]
It allows for one representative of the Legislative Assembly and one from the Australian Capital Territory Council of Social Services. [More…]
I have no doubt that if the New South Wales Government was prepared to negotiate as to what type of commission would be acceptable to both the Federal Government and the State Government a commission could be set up that would be representative of all proper groups. [More…]
The State Government would have representatives as would the Federal Government. [More…]
Recently I saw an Australian Broadcasting Commission program which involved a conversation between a person from a Middle East country and a representative of the Commission. [More…]
To overcome this deficiency, the Australian Representative Basins Program has been devised by the Council. [More…]
Under this Australiawide program up to 100 carefully selected representative catchments are being assessed in detail. [More…]
That unfortunate consequence occurred because a representative of the union was a member of the board of an Australian governmental commission. [More…]
That union representative encouraged the commission to take action which, in fact, was not in the best interests of either the Government of the people of Australia. [More…]
There is a representative of that union on the Postal Commission encouraging it at the time, apparently, to take a view which was, I suggest, a disgraceful one. [More…]
I suggest that this does raise a serious matter of principle concerning conflict of interest between the pressures upon a union or worker representative actually sitting on the board of a corporation like the Australian Postal Commission. [More…]
In that case, the union representative was in a conflict situation. [More…]
He was a representative on the Commission when his union was in direct and in this case illegal conflict with it I believe that such a situation raises serious problems. [More…]
These figures relate to claims for the period 1 May to 30 June 1976 only, as representative of the year 1975-76. [More…]
A further indication of the morale and standing of the Aboriginal people in Australia was given by the Senate on 20 February last year when it carried a motion moved by Australia’s first Aboriginal parliamentary representative, Senator Bonner. [More…]
The land councils are, in the first place, representative of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
They are composed of representatives of the different Aboriginal peoples from the areas in which they operate. [More…]
It would examine only those significant matters of standards or regulation referred to it by a representative body of the broadcast operators, such as the Broadcasting Council designated in this Bill. [More…]
One of the changes to the Australian Broadcasting Commission will be that although the Commission of nine will remain the same there will be a requirement for each State to have at least one representative. [More…]
Why does our representative not drive one himself? [More…]
I therefore ask the Minister now whether he wil table the correspondence between Mr Justice Fox and himself or at least the letter which his representative describes as being concerned with the interpretation that is placed upon the Commission’s first report. [More…]
The Committee appreciates that when such incitement to conflict and contempt occurs it is invariably generated by a faction not representative of the ethnic community as a whole. [More…]
The fact is that the Newport power station dispute is only representative of what is a developing trend in this country and the rest of the western capitalist world- that unions are increasingly concerned not only with straight industrial issues such as wages and conditions of employment but workers, through their unions, are becoming increasingly concerned about what they do with their labour. [More…]
I have oft stated that I am first and foremost a representative of the people; that being a politician is my prime duty. [More…]
Because of the intention for the Commission to comprise a representative from each State and also at least 2 women, as well as the Government’s intention to retain all existing commissioners, it will be necessary to deem certain of the present commissioners as representing a State. [More…]
Officers of the public service who qualify for diplomatic passports while representing Australia overseas are as follows: Permanent Heads of Commonwealth Departments; the Head of an Australian consular mission overseas; an officer of the Australian Public Service who is leader of an official delegation or is its sole representative at an international conference; a member of Her Majesty’s Australian Diplomatic Service (other than a member of the Administrative and Technical Staff); a member of the staff of any Australian Government department or instrumentality assigned to a diplomatic Mission overseas and accorded diplomatic status; and a Permanent Head of a State Premier’s Department accompanying his Premier overseas on an official visit. [More…]
One suspects, when looking at it coldly, that the motivation was a devious device to allow the Government to get rid of the staff representative, Mr Webb, because in the reconstituted proposal that it put and in the amended version that it is now putting a staff representative is not specified. [More…]
The Australian Broadcasting Commission Staffs Association has already outlined its concern at the possible loss of its representative from the Commission. [More…]
I say quite categorically, despite all the comments which have been made, that at no time can anyone prove that the Minister has said that the ABC Staffs Association representative will be removed. [More…]
The Staffs Association, for reasons of its own, seems anxious to have a representative on the ABC but the members of the staff- that is the rank and file of Staffs Association- refuse to share the enthusiasm of their Association. [More…]
When the members complain that they might lose their representative they are really saying: ‘We realise that we have no support or mandate from the majority of our members, we realise that we were wrong from the beginning, but we want this just the same.’ [More…]
One can twist this around any way one likes, but the fact is that the appointment of a staff representative has failed to raise the intellectual standard of the Commission. [More…]
In other words, after studying 600 high quality submissions, the recommendation is that appointments should be as representative as possible, but not at the cost of merit. [More…]
Having yielded to staff pressure and retained Mr Marius Webb as the staff representative, the Government has decided that Mr Webb will be outnumbered. [More…]
Should the Tribunal find that the community favours more autonomy being given to the broadcasters by allowing them to develop and largely administer their own codes of programming and advertising practice, the Tribunal would then withdraw from the day-to-day administration of standards, and examine only those significant matters of standards or regulation referred to it by a representative body of the broadcast operators, such as the Broadcasting Council designated in this Bill. [More…]
Mr Webb is not the Staff Association representative. [More…]
It signifies only that in the joint opinion of the Council, the Government, and representative Aboriginal organisations an advisory and consultative task which was always envisaged as transient has come to an end and can now properly pass to others. [More…]
I would believe that all those in support of manufacturing industries, and especially those who are representative or claim to be representative of the trade union movement, would support the Government’s moves in that direction. [More…]
I ask: When Her Majesty the Queen decides who shall be her representative as Governor of an Australian State is she acting in her capacity as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or in her capacity as Queen of Australia? [More…]
This amendment will allow the appointment of a representative from Tasmania, a representative from South Australia, which are not represented on the Commission at the present time, plus another woman, without in any way interfering with the term of office of the current commissioners. [More…]
In proposed section 31(1), at the end of proposed paragraph (b) add the following words: “of whom one shall be the elected representative of the Australian Broadcasting Commission staff”. [More…]
Mr Marius Webb was elected by the ABC staff as its representative on the ABC. [More…]
I suggest to the Committee that, to write into the legislation at this stage a provision which requires a representative of the Australian Broadcasting Commission Staffs Association to be appointed as a Commissioner, is, at the very least, premature and probably runs counter to a proper concept of the role of the Commissioners. [More…]
One problem is that representation on a commission or a board of directors by, say, an elected representative of the staff or employees of an organisation can mean mere tokenism. [More…]
The commission or company can ensure that it has one representative of the staff as a director. [More…]
It appoints 8 other people in a manner which 6 ensures that the one representative of the staff is outvoted eight to one every time. [More…]
Another problem which sometimes arises is one of conflict of interests between the role which a person has to play as a member of the commission and his role as a representative of the staff. [More…]
But in a sense he is a representative of the union concerned because he is the general secretary-treasurer of the Australian Postal and Telecommunications Union. [More…]
But the representative of the staff is able to sit in the Commission. [More…]
So, that is one problem, I ask: If we have commissioners who are in some sense representative of outside bodies, do we have an elected representative of the consumers- Auntie ‘s Nieces and Nephews or whatever organisation we might have? [More…]
Do we have a representative of the management, such as the General Manager? [More…]
Do we have a representative of government in a formal sense who formally reports to government? [More…]
We have seen how the present incumbent, the elected staff representative, in fact reports to his constituency. [More…]
The honourable member for Bowman (Mr Jull) and the honourable member for Griffith (Mr Donald Cameron) earlier read out excerpts of a public report which that representative made lining up the ‘goodies’ and the ‘baddies’ on the Commission, as far as he was concerned. [More…]
Are members of the Commission to be appointed to represent some outside body or are they to be people appointed in their own right because of the expertise they have developed in various areas and perhaps representative of a broad range of interests, not necessarily of a specific group. [More…]
Nonetheless I think it would be a mistake to write into the legislation a provision requiring a staff elected representative on the Commission. [More…]
It points out that Marius Webb is not a Staff Association representative but represents ABC staff. [More…]
I spoke to that Opposition amendment which deals with the appointment of an elected representative of the Australian Broadcasting Commission staff and pointed out that, while there had not been previous provision for this, it had been something that a previous Minister had allowed. [More…]
In rebutting the argument for a staff representative, some mention was made of the Joint Consultative Committee. [More…]
I have never spoken one word to him, but he is the duly elected representative of the ABC Staff Association. [More…]
Like the honourable member for Wimmera (Mr King) who asked the Minister to give some indication about Tasmanian representation, I think it is fair to say that the Minister has made it quite clear that a Tasmanian representative will be appointed to the Commission very shortly and a Tasmanian will remain on that Commission for as long as this Government is in office. [More…]
The operative word is ‘representative’. [More…]
That is preferable to restricting contact through the avenue of one representative who may or may not adequately represent the views of the staff? [More…]
Yes, my apologies, there was to be an independent chairman also, who presumably was to be the sole representative of the consumers. [More…]
Our proposal is for a chairman, one representative of commercial radio; one representative of commercial television, 2 representatives of the Australian Broadcasting Commission- balancing the national sector of broadcasting with the commercial sector- two representatives of the public broadcasting sector. [More…]
In our view, from what the Government said it expects that sector to hold a significant proportion of representation, so we suggest 2 representatives of that sector to balance the others- one representative of the Australia Council; one representative of the Australian Film and Television School; one representative of the Postal and Telecommunications Department; and one representative of the Schools Commission. [More…]
one representative of commercial radio; [More…]
c) one representative of commercial television; [More…]
one representative of the Australia Council; [More…]
one representative of the Australian Film and Television School; [More…]
one representative of the Department of Postal and Telecommunications, and [More…]
one representative from the Schools Commission. [More…]
He has not explained satisfactorily to me- not that I want to encourage him to do so- why he wants to have a representative of the Australia Council, of the Australian Film and Television School and of the Schools Commission on the Council. [More…]
The Opposition suggests one representative from the Department. [More…]
The Opposition has suggested one representative so that we can make room for some other people. [More…]
It is also suggested that there should be one representative from the Schools Commission. [More…]
These meetings emphasised the absence in this country of one body which is representative of Australian sport. [More…]
As a result, each meeting elected 3 representatives to form a protem committee which was to consider ways and means of establishing a Confederation of Australian Sport and then to convene a further meeting to discuss the matter. [More…]
The motion which is before us envisages dealing with the matter only as it affects the House of Representatives. [More…]
I hope that they will do so fairly quickly because the level of informal votes which is taking place in Senate elections is destroying any claim that the Senate is a representative House. [More…]
The Spanish group proved themselves hospitable and capable hosts and, because of this, your delegation and the delegations from other national groups were able to promote the aims of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which is to promote personal contacts between members of all parliaments, constituted into national groups, and to unite them in common action to secure and maintain the full participation of their respective states in the firm establishment and development of representative institutions and in the advancement of the work of international peace and co-operation. [More…]
with the Report as part of their studies in the history and issues of broadcasting, and to give them experience in mounting a discussion program on current issue; (b) The program is being scripted and directed by the students; (c) It is proposed that the panel will comprise Mr Stony Walton, Deputy Director of the School as Chairman, a representative of the Department of Postal and Telecommunications, and Mr Mark Armstrong of the University of New South Wales; (d) It is hoped that the program will be of value to media courses in tertiary institutions, and it will be offered for this purpose. [More…]
My remarks involve very much, without any reflection on the Chair, how the House manages to conduct its business and particularly your position, Mr Speaker, and the problems that you have to face as our representative and as our protector of the back benches with our traditions and all we stand for. [More…]
It also makes the executive government more representative of the community, which should improve its prospects of success. [More…]
In what capacity was a representative of the press present in one of these raids in Western Australia. [More…]
I have also sought thesupport of the Australian Medical Association, as representative of the organised medical profession, in making it plain to its members that the AMA does not condone the discriminatory practice being adopted by a small minority of doctors in a few isolated areas. [More…]
Has he received a request from the Australian Capital Territory Rugby Union for financial assistance to enable fielding of a representative team in the National Rugby Championship in 1977; if so, what decision has been made on the request, and what are the reasons for the decision. [More…]
I list his accomplishments: Firstclass honours in Arts and then in Law at Sydney University, University Medallist in Law, President of the Students Representative Council, author of a book on secrecy in government, former member of the Australia Council and member of the Council of the Film and Television School. [More…]
Under section 13, if one wanted to get elections back into kilter one could put forward a phoney proposition to a tame and friendly Senate, which would reject it, and then one could ask for a double dissolution around the end of June and organise an election for the House of Representatives some time in July. [More…]
I applaud the Government for the fact that for the first time it recognises political parties as being representative of the Australian people. [More…]
Thirdly, the referendum proposals will properly synchronise Senate and House of Representative elections at a considerable saving in cost to the Australian taxpayer, avoiding unnecessary, time consuming duplication of elections. [More…]
In the Bill as it stands there is a protection for the political party concerned, a protection which would ensure that a Senator Field could not be nominated and the claim made that he was an adequate representative of that political party. [More…]
If not, would the Parliament of Tasmania have the right to appoint as a successor to Senator Townley a representative from the party which had the largest number of votes at the election at which Senator Townley was elected? [More…]
Following troubles during the latter part of the First World War and during the rest of that decade, a royal commission which severely criticised Commonwealth administration of the Territory caused the Commonwealth Act of 1923 which granted the Territory a representative in the House of Representatives, who was allowed to take part in all debates but who could not vote except on a motion for the disallowance of any ordinance of the Northern Territory. [More…]
These proposals for constitutional change are contained within 4 Bills, relating to simultaneous elections, the filling of Senate casual vacancies by a representative of a political party of the same colour as that of the previous senator, the retirement of judges at the age of 70 years and the right of Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory electors to vote in referenda. [More…]
Dr Sax headed the committee consisting of representatives from the Royal College of Pathologists in Australia and the Society of Pathologists in Private Practice, plus a representative from the New South Wales Health Commission and representatives from the Department of Health. [More…]
Not one representative of the trade union movement was on that Committee. [More…]
Not one representative of the trade union movement was ever put on it. [More…]
Amendments equal contemporary and representative government. [More…]
The Government has also decided to establish a standing task group on youth affairs, comprising senior officials of relevant departments and including a representative of the new Office of Youth Affairs. [More…]
The Prime Minister left it to the Ambassador, Mr Nicholas Parkinson, who left it to the Australian senior trade representative to Washington, Mr Jack Smith, who, having no one further down the line to leave it to, came up with what was apparently just an inspired guess: 60 million lb. [More…]
There are some vital aspects of Australia’s present beef dilemma that I am obliged to canvass in this House today as the representative for Capricornia, one of the vital beef producing regions of Australia. [More…]
I am not being critical but I suppose it is a wonder that this is not an occasion when the Opposition wants to change this situation for the simple reason that it does not have one representative from the State of Tasmania. [More…]
I have spoken to the Leader of the Opposition about them and he has agreed that they could be incorporated in the House of Representatives Hansard. [More…]
With great respect to members of the Opposition, I believe that I can include them when I say that parliamentarians and the population simply would not know then in which electorate they were living, who their representative was or where they were going. [More…]
It can be effective and democratic only if it ensures a fair, open and representative system which translates the genuine wishes of electors into parliamentary voices. [More…]
Some people would argue that our system is not representative because it does not embody for this House proportional or other forms of representation. [More…]
Essentially, our system is a blend of the single constituency preferential 2-party system in the House of Representatives and of proportional representation in the Senate. [More…]
The electors had to rely on infrequent visits from their representative. [More…]
My own view is that electorates ought to be as close as practicable in voting power because that is what representative government is about. [More…]
The objective is representative government. [More…]
What is representative government? [More…]
We must equate the personal problems of people such as those and the representative difficulties of people who know not the language and whose language one knows not. [More…]
While I recognise the difficulties of travel and transport of members of the National Country Party, I think it is time that they recognised that the representative principle also covers the difficulties and problems of such people as I represent. [More…]
1 ) The Government has the question of natural disaster crop insurance under consideration, in conjunction with the Insurance Conference Committee (a widely representative group of general insurers). [More…]
Has the Minister any information about the circumstances surrounding an incident in Canberra recently when a representative from a Sydney abortion clinic operated by Population Services International used the offices of the Commonwealth Employment Service at Woden to interview job applicants selected by the CES for a proposed abortion clinic at Phillip? [More…]
The applicants selected by the CES were interviewed, as the honourable member said, at the Woden CES office on 8 February by a representative of the firm. [More…]
I was very heartened at lunch time today when Otto Lang, the Canadian Minister who is a representative on the International Wheat Council, rang me to tell me of his recent discussions with the new Secretary for Agriculture in the United States, who is keen that we have discussions to try to firm up the international marketing situation. [More…]
It was not the Queen of England who, like King Charles I, intervened in the affairs of the parliamentary process but it was the representative of the monarch in this country. [More…]
Fancher- a representative, indeed the emissary, of the Queensland Premier; a man whom the Treasurer and the Deputy Prime Minister recommended as a likely source of information for Liberal Party purposes; a man who has since been declared a bankrupt. [More…]
Since coming to office this Government has taken many initiatives in regard to refugees, exerting pressure for the withdrawal of Indonesian troops, and sending a special representative to Timor to mention a few. [More…]
It should do so on both counts; on the basis of resources because as I have pointed out, the number of people employed in private enterprise has dropped while the number of people employed in the public sector has increased, and on the question of money being taken by governments as distinct from being left in the pockets of private persons, I feel it is a pity that there is no representative of the so-called Workers Party or whatever it is called in this House. [More…]
I suggested that if a Telecom representative could come within the next hour or two I could be there to let him into the house and if the instrument were faulty it could be fixed. [More…]
Has the attention of the Minister for National Resources been drawn to reports that the New Zealand Government representative on the British Phosphate Commission has allegedly objected to the Commission’s purchasing phosphate rock on behalf of Australian manufacturers from the Australian deposits at Duchess? [More…]
So it will take 3 votes to elect a Liberal or Labor representative for every one vote it will take to elect a National Party representative in Queensland. [More…]
In 1974 the Schools Commission appointed an Aboriginal Consultative Group to assist it in obtaining representative views from Aboriginal groups and communities. [More…]
Certainly, to be fair- I want to be fair- the representative of the Tasmanian apple growers with whom I discussed this matter when he visited Canberra with other apple grower representatives said that the Tasmanian people would take a responsible attitude and they would not flood the market, which would be of course finally to their disadvantage. [More…]
Against the background of recent Australian politics, argument has developed that the Monarch, or her representative, must be excluded from every area of political involvement, with the consequence, so the argument goes, that if this happens, it becomes unnecessary that there be a head of state within our political system. [More…]
In 1975, our Governor-General, the Queen’s representative, initiated discussions with the then Prime Minister Whitlam and with Opposition Leader Fraser. [More…]
This local example, with a British precedent, serves to highlight the advantage of the presence of a Head of State of the status of the Monarch or her representative. [More…]
But just as George V was forced on at least 2 occasions to intervene in the politics of the nation, so is the Queen’s representative in Australia, by the very essence and the framework of our Constitution, forced to intervene at critical times in the affairs of our nation. [More…]
I would hope that those who fiercely espouse that cause at least understand that in our system the Monarch or Her representative has a role with far greater implications than simply supplying Royal Patronage to the highly regarded Red Cross Society and others. [More…]
The Westminster system is tried, proven and strong, with as Head of State, the Monarch who is the esteemed non-party Representative of the Nation as a whole. [More…]
Indeed, this Parliament sustains the monarch’s representative by grants of public money by the Appropriation Bill. [More…]
As the representative of the division of Dawson, representing some 100 000 people in that division in north Queensland, I take this opportunity to express to Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen sincere expressions of their continued loyalty to the Crown. [More…]
The regulations are a further step in implementing our policy of encouraging representative industrial organisation, composed of members who are informed about their affairs and operating democratically to further the legitimate industrial interests of all those who might benefit. [More…]
The Minister’s Department has provided the bulk of the policy advice that the Council has considered but I believe that the Council should be more representative of people in the community. [More…]
This action of Her Majesty’s representative, Sir John Kerr, displayed the inbuilt protection which our monarchical system possesses against the excesses of an arrogant and incompetent government. [More…]
As an Australian representative at the Inter-Parliamentary Union conference held in Madrid late last year I was ashamed to have to admit that Australia was pursuing this useless policy when there was so much hunger in the world. [More…]
Between Yass and Gundagai- a representative section of the Hume- the annual average daily traffic in both directions was 3200 in 1974. [More…]
The Malaysian representative had something similar to say, as did the representative from Papua New Guinea. [More…]
The Malaysian representative commented that he had expected Australia to take a more understanding attitude of ‘our aspirations’ not only because of ‘our close relations’ but also because Australia is a major producer of commodities. [More…]
-Listen to the Queensland representative. [More…]
Why should its representatives in this House want to give the people in the Northern Territory a vote or even the right to representation? [More…]
If the High Court in May were to determine that within the meaning of the Constitution, representation for the Territories does not mean representation in the full sense of the word but means perhaps only the right for a territorial representative to appear in a Parliament and speak when invited, and does not mean the right to take part in any debate and certainly not the right to vote, territorial representatives would be mere mummies from the point of view of effective representation of the Territories. [More…]
In other words, representatives of the Territories should merely have the right to speak as and when asked and only on matters applying to the Territories. [More…]
If those challenges are successful, irrespective of what the decision of the Australian people is on 2 1 May- we would hope it would be a decision giving the people of the Territories a right to vote in future referendums- it would be null and void for the very reason that section 128 only gives to the electors in the States- we seek to interpose there the words ‘and the Territories’- the right to vote in a referendum in the same context as they would have the right to vote for the election of the House of Representatives. [More…]
Irrespective of what happens on 2 1 May, the High Court may decide in May that the people of the Territories have no right to vote for a representative in the House of Representatives and therefore exclude them from the right to vote in future referendums. [More…]
I think most people are aware that the first representative for the Australian Capital Territory in the Federal Parliament was Dr Nott. [More…]
I have heard people say that we are over-represented because we have 2 members of the House of Representatives, 2 senators and 18 elected members of the Legislative Assembly. [More…]
There is one elected representative in Canberra for approximately every 6000 electors or people on the electoral roll. [More…]
Tasmania has one elected representative for every 480 electors. [More…]
Western Australia has one elected representative for every 387 electors. [More…]
As I said, the position here is that we have one elected representative for every 6000 electors. [More…]
Yet this man from Western Australia wants to deprive us even of that amount of representation, when in his State there is one elected representative for every 387 electors. [More…]
I repeat that we have one elected representative for almost every 6000 electors. [More…]
I remind the House that the Northern Territory has been represented in this place since 1922 and the representative of the Northern Territory has had full voting rights since 1968. [More…]
I do not know what is behind the challenge but I remember that in 1968 when a referendum was held concerning the breaking of the nexus between the House of Representative and the Senate - [More…]
An article reporting an employer representative, the manager of Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd in New South Wales, stated: [More…]
He was speaking as a representative of those who work in this field. [More…]
We have had a High Commissioner in Wellington since 1943; a Consul in Noumea since 1940; a Commissioner in Fiji since 1964, becoming a High Commissioner in 1970 and accredited to Western Samoa and Tonga, and an official representative in Nauru since 1968. [More…]
These representatives regularly visit the other territories in the region where as yet Australia is not formally represented. [More…]
But just as important, these official representatives are able to keep the governments of the region in close touch with Australian thinking and attitudes on matters of common concern. [More…]
I believe that the creation of this new bureau within the Department and the Bill which is repealing the Agency will help our representatives in this area to report back much more effectively to the Government the aid needs of these many emerging and existing island nations of the Pacific. [More…]
Can we reach any other conclusion than that this represents contempt for the Australian Parliament by an ambassadorial representative? [More…]
The misgivings of the Government were effectively expressed at the time the Government’s representative registered his vote at the meeting to which the honourable gentleman has referred. [More…]
The suburbs of Brunswick and Coburg, for which I became the representative in 1955, had a small proportion of migrants. [More…]
What is the name of the Chairman of the Committee and from which Department was he a representative. [More…]
What is the name, classification and salary of each representative as at 23 February 1977 and when does the term of appointment of each expire. [More…]
What was the name, classification and salary of each representative as at 1 1 November 1 975. [More…]
1 ) The Australian Government considers that SWAPO is a major and authentic representative of political opinion in Namibia. [More…]
It does not however regard it as the sole authentic representative of the Namibian people. [More…]
The Government believes that the representatives of indigenous political forces in Namibia other than SWAPO should be included in the process of negotiation to determine Namibia’s constitutional future. [More…]
In the case of each country and each product, what is (a) the number of representatives and (b) the name of the Government department or other body to which each representative belongs. [More…]
So, it is a very representative sample. [More…]
The 3-member committees consist of representatives of the Commonwealth and State governments and an independent chairman appointed by the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations. [More…]
In each case the Commonwealth representative is the State Director of the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations. [More…]
The 5 other members of the Commission will be parttime and will be drawn from widely representative sections of the community as a balance to the specialist interests of the full-time members. [More…]
I ask whether the Prime Minister was correctly reported in the issue of Country Life newspaper of 25-3 1 August 1976 in which it was stated that when he was asked by a representative of that newspaper the question: [More…]
This means that unless a representative of a company goes into the witness box and gives evidence- and having given evidence he can be cross-examined at large- a conviction must follow because the certificate will not have been answered. [More…]
The constitution is proposed to consist of an independent chairman, a government member, 4 producer representatives, one exporters’ representative and 2 members with special qualifications. [More…]
The exporters’ representative and the producer representatives are to be selected from a panel of names which will flow from 2 consultative groups- one representing the meat trade generally, that is, exporters, processors and abattoirs, and the other being the producers’ consultative group. [More…]
It is envisaged that the producers’ consultative group will consist of 2 representatives from each State elected from producers in those States. [More…]
Discussions have been initiated with the producer bodies as to the manner in which the election of those producer representatives should take place. [More…]
Ethnic involvement in the running and programming of these stations will be encouraged to the fullest and care will be taken to ensure a balanced and representative utilization of the medium. [More…]
No doubt there are many members of Parliament and certainly many members of the public who, while working on or being a representative on councils of various colleges, universities and so on, have very often been frustrated by what appears to be a preference by governments for one sector or another of education at different times. [More…]
It covered a representative sample of 4700 survey units- couples or single people. [More…]
A representative from the Leyland organisation told the Government that he was not prepared to do this. [More…]
It was presented to this House by his parliamentary representative, the Attorney-General (Mr Ellicott), asking this House to permit parliamentary reporters to give a report in the Police Court at Queanbeyan of proceedings in the special session of this House on 9 July 1975. [More…]
-There were certain reports concerning conversations that the Government was alleged to have had with representatives of the motor industry. [More…]
I think it ought to be said at the outset that in advising the Government of the current state of the industrythere were eight or ten representatives of the industry, including General Motors-Holden’s Pty Ltd, present on that occasion, on 20 Aprilnobody raised the problems that General Motors has since learned about and has since been experiencing. [More…]
The General Motors’ representative did not raise those problems in any sense, shape or form but obviously accepted the general industry approach as it was put to the Government at the time, which was a quite different approach. [More…]
But 1 was advised- before reading in the newspapers of it only the week before last- as I have been in different ways that I am not, as the Leader of the Opposition would know, able to reveal, of an interview between the Indonesian Foreign Minister and a representative of Australian Associated Press in which the Foreign Minister said words to the effect: ‘Whitlam gave us the green light. [More…]
The public reference to this, to the representative of Australian Associated Press the week before last, reveals you for what you are in terminology that cannot be expressed adequately in this Parliament, a conniving coward who seeks to proclaim previously prepared material - [More…]
The New Zealand tax legislation may interest the Commonwealth Parliament and is fairly representative of most other countries. [More…]
It is nonsense to claim that the union movement is more representative than the Parliament. [More…]
Some might claim that the holding of a referendum is an abdication of the responsibility of parliament, of the principles of representative government. [More…]
However, it is the representative nature of parliament that is being challenged by the militants. [More…]
It is for that reason that we have the fortune to have a high powered and representative committee to do just that. [More…]
This seems to fly in the face of the announcement by Mr George Polites, the employers’ representative, that companies ought to get their applications before the Prices Justification Tribunal as quickly as possible. [More…]
1) (a) The working party, established to formulate proposals for a natural disaster insurance scheme in consultation with the insurance industry, is chaired by a representative of the Department of the Treasury and includes representatives of the Insurance Commissioner, the Australian Government Actuary, the Departments of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Finance, Environment, Housing and Community Development and Primary Industry.

[More…]
As with many of my constituents I meet Mr Douglas Charles Campbell regularly in the course of my normal representative duties. [More…]
We met other people whose identity it is perhaps best for me, as the representative of the electorate of Hindmarsh, not to mention. [More…]
Membership of this body should be drawn from both government and nongovernment sources- On the non-government side, membership should comprise representatives from the major Australian refugee-receiving and overseas-aid agencies, the Australian representative of the UNHCR (in an observer capacity), Red Cross, other organisations having practical experience in settlement work and post-hostel community support for refugees, and representatives from the academic community. [More…]
In my recent discussions overseas, both the Director-General of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade and the newly appointed United States Special Trade Representative supported this view. [More…]
Having served as a representative on the Students Representative Council of the University of Sydney- in the days when it was affiliated with the NUAUS- I have had some experience of university politics. [More…]

[More…]
The Government decided to reduce the number of manufacturer representatives on the Advisory Committee from nine to six, as previously announced. [More…]
Despite this, evidence shows that AUS is not really representative of the great bulk of Australian tertiary students. [More…]
AUS was no longer representative of students. [More…]
So I guess there is very little hope that the South Australian Government will initiate any reforms in South Australia to ensure that AUS becomes more democratic and more representative of the great bulk of students. [More…]
Then it can prove to be a really effective representative body of students. [More…]
The Guild of Undergraduates of the university or the student representative council of any given university does not have to be affiliated with the Australian Union of Students. [More…]
No State law requires the student representative council of any university to be affiliated with the Australian Union of Students. [More…]
A proposal was circulated to provide a basis for discussion with organisations representative of the Australian meat and livestock industries and in early November 1976 wide ranging consultations were held with more than 50 representatives of major industry organisations, unions and consumers. [More…]
Whilst all representatives agreed there should be immediate change, there was a wide diversity of views on what the changes should be. [More…]
All industry representatives were invited to make further submissions and to give additional thought to the areas where consensus had not been reached. [More…]
The structure provided for in the Bill is an independent Chairman, a Commonwealth Government representative, 4 members representing Aus.tralian livestock producers, one meat exporter representative and 2 members specially qualified by way of experience in commerce, finance, economics, marketing, promotion, science or industrial matters. [More…]
An exporter and abattoir consultative group will be established also to be representative of meatworks, meat and livestock exporting, meat packing and meat processing interests in Australia. [More…]
The composition of both groups and the electoral procedures for the producer consultative group members will be decided shortly in consultation with industry representatives. [More…]
The conference will be representative of all parties with an interest in matters for which the Corporation is responsible. [More…]
It could well include representatives of livestock producers, exporters, meatworks, meat packers, meat processors, livestock agents, meat unions, transport unions and others associated as well as consumers. [More…]
I have recently discussed with a representative of the Islamic Society the possibility of land being made available adjacent to the Mosque but fronting Empire Circuit. [More…]
If we are to have an orderly society, it ought to be built on the basis that we in this national Parliament recognise that trade unions exist, we want to promote goodwill in industry, we want to encourage the means by which we can settle disputes, we want to provide the means for the settlement of those disputes and we want to encourage the organisation of representative bodies of employers and employees. [More…]
The employer may have sacked the union representative; it may have been a case of where the employer deliberately set out to employ union scabs; it may have been a case of where the employer was refusing to supply proper safety requirements in his factory. [More…]

-As a representative of an electorate which contains several meat works and as a director of an Australian owned processor and exporter in an industry that is dominated by some very large multi-national companies, I certainly have a degree of concern about the clause. [More…]
I suggest that when he is looking at the special representation, where there is a capacity for the Minister to appoint 2 people to the Corporation, he might give some kind of assurance that, if the one representative of the exporting and processing industry is not a moderately sized or small Australian owned processor, that section- the Australian owned sectionof the industry will receive some sort of representation.

One processing representative reporting back to his consultative group will not have in this situation another representative from the same group monitoring his performance at the Corporation or monitoring his reporting back to the consultative group. [More…]
On the exporterprocessing side, the belief is still held that there should be more than one representative from that sector of the industry. [More…]

[More…]
It contributes nothing to better relations with our neighbours to tell them, as the Prime Minister does, that they can expect no better treatment from us than we, the representative of European culture and technology in this region, or they, can obtain from Europe; or to tell them, as the Prime Minister has done, that until Europe improves its trade treatment of us, we shall not be able to improve our trade treatment of them- our neighbours.

Is the Minister for Employment and Youth Affairs aware of claims that the recent youth conference held in Canberra was a fiasco and, more particularly, that important and representative groups of Australian youth were not present? [More…]

He was the representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund. [More…]
They differ substantially from the reports of such sources as the representative of the New Zealand Red Cross and, for that matter, the occasional comments that come from Australian officials, but, in the writer’s opinion, most of the latter observations less accurately and frankly reflect the real situation in East Timor. [More…]

Mr Deputy Chairman, I am astonished that any member of this Parliament would get up in his place and behave as though public servants have any greater morality, greater authority, greater integrity and a greater right to be trusted with these kinds of secrets than has an elected representative of the Parliament.

Another objection to the Estimates committees is that they detract from the House of Representatives itself, interfering with the business in the House, distracting from the representative function and downgrading the representative chamber. [More…]

This will enable the effective political utilisation of the material gathered and will counter the charges that the experiment depoliticises the business of the House and undermines its representative functions. [More…]

The opponents of the AUS claim that the organisation is unrepresentative, and there is no doubt that in recent years it has had a very bumpy record. [More…]
Each withdrawal has necessarily made the AUS less, not more, representative. [More…]
If AUS is thought to be unrepresentative, the answer is to make it more representative, to get more of our 250,000 university students to participate, to run for election, to vote, to argue, and to propose new policies. [More…]
The worst way, the method adopted in this Bill, is to destroy the AUS, to make it less representative by interfering with the tradition of academic freedom and to prohibit the councils of tertiary institutions from enabling fees to be paid except for very narrow- one might say, almost selfishpurposes confined to ‘student welfare’, narrowly defined.
