My own view, after participating in discussions among the members of the Council of the Australian National University, reading the reports of the various people who considered the matter and having discussions with students, was that it certainly was not overwhelming the Council to have 2 more students on it and that generally it would be better to have 2 more students on it; in other words, that it was not a huge departure from the situation that already existed and that 2 representatives could achieve the results that were sought by those who put forward the proposal to a considerably greater extent than could one representative. [More…]
Being a student representative on the administrative body of a university is an onerous task. [More…]
I find that, had I discussed this matter with the people whom I represent on the Council before any vote was taken on it by the Council, as their representative I would have been bound to vote in a different way from that in which I did. [More…]
The number of student representatives in this way ranges from one to three. [More…]
Some of the larger universities, such as the University of New South Wales and the University of Queensland have only one undergraduate representative. [More…]

[More…]
Monash University and the James Cook University have student representatives and the University of Melbourne, La Trobe University and the University of Western Australia have 3. [More…]

I address my question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as representative of the Treasurer. [More…]
Will the Leader of the Government use his good offices to ensure that the filling of the vacancy is expedited so that the person appointed to fill the vacancy will be able to take his place in the Senate at the very earliest opportunity - I would hope tomorrow evening - and New South Wales will not be robbed of a representative any longer than is absolutely necessary? [More…]
A fundamental feature of the arrangements is that the level of assistance to be provided to the local government authorities, which, of course, are representative of the landowners and Other people 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…]
I oppose the amendment moved by Senator Little, the representative of the Australian Democratic Labor Party. [More…]

I defer that matter for the time being, except to say that I regard it as arrogance and high-handedness on the part of the Australian Wool Commission and, indeed, bordering on contempt of this Parliament for the Minister to come up with an answer that for commercial reasons it is the policy of the Australian Wool Commission not to release information on matters raised by an honourable senator when a representative of the Australian Wool Commission can appear on a programme of the Australian Broadcasting Commission and tell certain sections of the public who might be listening to that broadcast some details of the transactions engaged in by the Commission.

This focuses attention on an extremely important principle of parliamentary democracy and of representative government, the genesis of which, so far as this Parliament is concerned, occurred in the Senate last year during consideration of the Parliamentary Counsel Bill. [More…]
Tn substance what has happened is that the Senate first of all and then the Parliament have taken the view that in order to maintain proper parliamentary supervision over not only the executive government but also over the statutory corporations and to maintain the principle of parliamentary supremacy, as carrying out the supremacy of the people as expressed through their representatives, it is necessary that the salaries of all these persons should be fixed directly by the Parliament and that any allowances that they should have should be fixed by regulation, such regulation being subject to the supervision and control of each House of the Parliament. [More…]
I remind the Senate that the growth of Parliament was initially for this very purpose of seeing to it that there was someone representative of the people to supervise the expenditure of public moneys. [More…]
The Minister for National Development at the time supplied the information through the Minister for Civil Aviation (Senator Cotton), his representative in the Senate. [More…]

We would do so in the fond expectation and hope and, we trust, certain anticipation that the additional senator would be representative of the Democratic Labor Party in the person of Senator Gair but that provision for the independents should not be lost sight of. [More…]
We support the recommendation and trust that in the logic of events if this resolution goes through unamended and the number is increased from 7 to 8 it would be the right and entitlement of the Democratic Labor Party to have that additional representative and that such representative should be left to the nomination of our Party. [More…]

In the same year only 1,188 questions were asked in the House of Representatives where, at that stage, there would be 21 or 22 Ministers. [More…]
I emphasise that some of the questions asked in the Senate would be asked of Ministers in a representative capacity. [More…]
We can therefore take it that those 1,903 questions in the main would be questions that placed demands on the responsible Ministers, even though speaking only in a representative capacity. [More…]

On no fewer than 8 occasions we have moved amendments to have this delicate matter of social services taken out of the field of politics and given to an independent tribunal of competent people, with a representative of the pensioners sitting on the tribunal, such a tribunal would have regard to the criteria of wage and price increases and all other relevant material in making a determination.

The taxpayers’ representative? [More…]
Probably the only member of this body who would not be a taxpayer would be the one we propose as the pensioners’ representative. [More…]

These matters came before the attention of Mr Calder, the representative of the Northern Territory in the Federal Parliament. [More…]

[More…]
I understand the concern of the honourable senator that student funds are possibly being used for purposes other than the normal functions of the Students Representative Councils and I am sure that his concern is shared by, the majority of members in both Houses and of the public in general. [More…]
It needs to be kept in mind that the Student Representative Councils are composed of representatives elected by the students themselves. [More…]
If the majority of students is not satisfied with the actions and decisions of their representatives then the students themselves have the right to remedy the situation through the normal democratic processes available to them. [More…]

In reply to a question which I asked him last week, the Minister, in his capacity as the representative of the Minister for Supply, indicated that one of the reasons why there was no requirement by the Royal Australian Air Force or the Army for the aircraft known as Project N was that the RAAF still had 20 DC3 aircraft in use which the Minister staled by inference were capable of doing the work* which would be carried out by the Project N aircraft if purchased.

With a view to the Standing Orders Committee being as representative as possible of the composition of the Senate at any time, the Senate resolves that: [More…]
If the Senate is to embark upon a delineation of its rights and privileges in relation to the conduct of its business, it is most appropriate, even highly important, that the Standing Orders Committee be as rep resentative as possible, and it is quite unreal that the Standing Orders Committee should not have as one of its members a representative of a significant party in the Senate. [More…]
The Committee should be as embracing and as representative as possible. [More…]
If the Standing Orders Committee is to embark upon a delineation of its powers and a reconsideration of the Standing Orders, we should ensure that the body which carries out that function will be as representative as possible. [More…]
I hope that the Government will give me the opportunity to move the motion standing in my name so that if there is to be a review of the Standing Orders in any way the Senate, in its most representative capacity and representing all parties, should through that Committee be able to give the matter the scrutiny which it deserves and which is called for. [More…]
But the Committee did not consider that it had authority to say that the Democratic Labor Party representative should be Senator Gair, as I think is supposed, or that the representative should be one of the other Democratic Labor Party members, or even one of the independent senators who must be recognised in this Parliament as a minority group.

The Board which was established in 1962, comprises 10 members - the Chairman who is also the representative of the Commonwealth Government, 5 members to represent honey producers and 4 members to represent honey packers. [More…]
litis Bil] has been introduced in order to overcome some of these issues, lt is now proposed that the producers themselves be given the opportunity to elect a representative to the Australian Honey Board from each State. [More…]
The passage of this Bill will do away with that argument because each State will have the right - and justly so- of electing its own representative to the Honey Board, and that person will be the choice of the electors in that State. [More…]
The change which is proposed is that the producer members of the Board - they do not represent exactly a majority of the Board but they are a dominant force on the Board because they are 5 members out of 10 - will be representatives of each State elected by the honey producers in each State who are the owners of at least 200 hives of bees. [More…]
No matter whether or not they are members of an association they will have the right to vote and elect their representative on the Honey Board. [More…]
Incidentally, on this point of the election of representatives of honey producers to the Honey Board, the eligibility qualification of 200 hives does embrace the major honey producers of Australia. [More…]
This underlines the problem that 1 have mentioned already; some need may exist to relax this eligibility figure so that there is a more representative electorate of honey producers. [More…]
I do not think the producers would elect somebody who was a very small producer and a very large packer to be their representative on the Board. [More…]
I think we can safely leave the election of representatives in the hands of the people who are eligible to elect representatives on the Board. [More…]
Although I have not a complete knowledge of the industry I would doubt whether an expert body such as the Honey Board - a body which is representative of the industry and in which the producers, if they wished, could even now exert an influence over the control of the Board’s affairs - has not been able to gain for the producers the highest figure. [More…]
The person who is returned as a representative of the producers surely must be the most appropriate man to represent their interests. [More…]
One producer representative is managing director of one of the largest honey packer-exporter companies in Australia who is elected by Queensland which has about 75 commercial honey producers. [More…]
I understand the Public Service Board and the Commonwealth Treasury have representatives on it. [More…]
No doubt the Department of Primary Industry would have a representative on it and perhaps the Prime Minister’s Department would have a representative too. [More…]

I am aware that there have been some Press reports of the action taken yesterday by my representatives before the Public Service Arbitrator. [More…]
The fact is that the persons who were before the Arbitrator yesterday did receive an award and the action which has now been taken by my representative because I am a Minister concerned, just as the other Ministers who were represented are Ministers concerned, is to ensure that this matter is considered by the Arbitration Commission. [More…]

Fancy a representative of the Government having the audacity to rise in his place and to say in effect: ‘People in the country areas of Queensland are penalised because we have not the courage to impose proper charges on the people in the metropolis’. [More…]
He is merely a craven representative of government who would make such a statement. [More…]
He will discover that it takes about 5,000 or 6,000 people to elect a Country Party representative and about 20,000 people to elect a Labor Party or Liberal Party representative. [More…]
I have said before, and Senator Webster can read il in my earlier speeches, that to achieve an effective and representative system of government that is responsive to the will of the people it is necessary with speedy communications and modern methods of travel to have a voting system of one vote one value, lt is of no use for the Country Party to talk about anything else. [More…]
The Country Party has no right to demand that a vote for its representatives should have twice the value of a vote for urban candidates. [More…]
As a representative in this chamber of the people of Queensland, I am pleased indeed to support the Bill now under discussion because of the tremendous benefits that it will bring to my home Stale. [More…]

Finally, as an honourable senator for Queensland and as a representative of the Liberal Party which forms a coalition in my State Government, I say that it gives me very great pleasure indeed to support the Bill which is before the chamber this evening. [More…]
I saw the article and I well understand the honourable senator’s interest in this matter because over a long period he has questioned me in this place as the representative of the Minister for Supply on Project N. I am afraid that I have nothing further to add to what I said in reply to Senator Bishop a short while ago. [More…]
I address a question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate as the representative in this place of the Treasurer. [More…]

To the best of my knowledge, the facts were that a representative of the Australian Government was called to the Japanese Department of Agriculture and Fisheries where he was informed, in effect, that although the Japanese Government had liberalised item 15.13 it would be embarrassed and upset if the Australian Government, or any other government, were to endeavour to exploit what perhaps was a mistake on the part of the Japanese Government.

I think the general pattern of Commonwealth and State Health Ministers* conferences in the general area in which the honourable senator asked his question has been to rely upon the decisions of the National Health and Medical Research Council, it being an expert body representative of the Commonwealth and the States and it being well equipped to make the necessary decisions. [More…]

Did a Committee of Government experts from a number of nations, including a representative of Australia, meet at Lausanne in April 1971 to discuss the international legal problems that might arise in connection with satellite broadcasting, and did that Committee prepare a report and a proposed draft conviction which, if ratified, is intended to afford protection to authors, performers, producers of phonograms, broadcasting organisations and other contributors. [More…]
Because of the far-reaching implications to Australia in satellite broadcasting and the effect it can have on Australians, who now earn their livelihoods from within the mass media, will the Attorney-General request the Government to broaden the Australian representation at the May Conference and include representatives of the professional associations of employees engaged in the industry, a representative of the Australian Broadcasting Commission and a representative of the Federation of Commercial Television Stations.

[More…]
like any other large dairy organisation would be concerned to ensure that the industry representation on the Australian Dairy Produce Board is the best available to the industry, which no doubt is reflected in its decision to make its General Manager available to serve on the Board as the representative of Victorian co-operative butter and cheese factories.

In view of the imminence of the Federal election at which members of the House of Representative and a Senator will spend and have spent on their behalf considerable sums of money exceeding the statutory limit of $500 as prescribed by the Electoral Act, and in view of the necessity to make a statutory declaration which, according to the Electoral Act, is false if the sum spent on behalf of members and candidates exceeds $500, when can the Government be expected to bring in legislation amending the Electoral Act which will remove this embarrassing ambiguity and thus clear candidates from the obvious charge of perjury?

The extent to which the Commonwealth has been involved in this matter is through a representative of the Department of Primary Industry chairing the Standing Committee of the Australian Fisheries Council which consists of Commonwealth and State representatives. [More…]
Why did the Australian Broadcasting Commission not invite a DLP representative to appear on the same programme so that Dr Cairns’ lying libel might be denied and exposed? [More…]
Dr Bradfield, who is at present the Australian representative on the Internationa] Civil Aviation Organisation Council in Montreal, has had wide experience advising developing countries in the Caribbean, Middle East and the Pacific. [More…]
I remember that on one occasion when Senator Gorton, as he then was, was the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Foreign Affairs he drew a very good distinction between the territorial expansions of the super communist powers, China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and those of Romania and Yugoslavia, which he put in a different category. [More…]
I have received a statement from a representative fruit grower on this question in which he refers to the present tree-pull scheme, that is, the scheme for which the Commonwealth Government is providing some assistance with the help of the States in order to lower production by reducing the number of orchards. [More…]
I am informed by this representative fruit grower that the present grass roots opinion of the tree-pull scheme is that it is being implemented in such a way that it will make no. [More…]
Is the Minister for Civil Aviation aware that as a representative of local government on ‘the Mascot noise abatement committee I suggested that ascending aircraft should fly out to sea from the airfield before proceeding to their destination at altitudes which would not annoy the residents of .Sutherland Shire? [More…]
The campers were not representative of the Aboriginal people as a whole. [More…]
A group of militant Aborigines, even if they are not representative of the whole movement by the Aboriginal people, is not prepared to permit their race to persevere under the conditions of the past. [More…]
This body of 9 people was under the chairmanship of the Director-General of Health, or his Deputy, another representative from the Department of Health, a Government representative and a representative of each of the 6 States. [More…]
In 1961, the late President Kennedy established the Presidents Physical Fitness and Sports Council, but by 1970 that body had become an ineffective Council because of a lack of funds and because of a lack of professional or specialist representatives on it. [More…]
Let us examine also the propositions which the Treasurer (Mr Snedden) has placed before the House of Representatives and which his representative in this chamber, Senator Cotton, has placed before, the Senate in respect of taxable income. [More…]
In addition there are to be 2 representatives of industry. [More…]
However, there is no representative of the general taxpayer or of the trade unions - no representative of the people who are carrying the substantial burden of taxation in this country. [More…]

Secondly, consideration has been given to this report by as wide and as representative a group of people interested in the subject matter as possible. [More…]
I address my ques tion to the Leader of the Government as the representative of the Prime Minister in the Senate. [More…]

For the non-government schools, the Commonwealth will appoint a representative expert committee to advise and assist the Minister and his Department in developing criteria and standards under which the new capital grants will be made available to non-government schools in the States. [More…]
Representatives of the various nongovernment schools have agreed to form one such committee in each State. [More…]
We present candidates in every electorate, virtually, in the House of Representatives and we always present a full team of candidates for Senate elections. [More…]
But when we analyse the situation and look at the aggregate vote that this Party receives we find a very dangerous situation when a party which commands such a big proportion of the national vote is not able to obtain a seat in the people’s house, the House of Representatives. [More…]
If that process goes on, not in relation to our Party but generally, the Parliament inevitably is going to become less and less representative. [More…]
Perhaps the figures more illustrative of the proposition I am putting are those for House of Representatives elections. [More…]
At the House of Representatives general election on 30th November 1963 the Democratic Labor Party received 407,416 votes or 7.4 per cent of the total and obtained no seats at all. [More…]
In other words, the 407.000 adult Australians who wanted the DLP were not able to secure one representative in the lower House of the national Parliament. [More…]
The honourable senator might call himself the representative of the ‘Democratic Party’. [More…]
The Board has proposed that the transmitters for these stations should preferably be operated by the Government, with time apportioned between interested groups by a representative committee of management. [More…]
I again raise the question of representation of Western Australia in the House of Representatives. [More…]
This matter was adverted to when documents were tabled in this Senate which disclosed that Western Australia was entitled to one more representative than presently it has in the House of Representatives. [More…]
I think the Senate is entitled to know what is, in the opinion of the legal advisers of the Commonwealth, the constitutional position in relation to the representation of Western Australia and whether, in fact, one more representative should be elected at large from that State or whether some other method needs to be adopted in order that the requirements of the Constitution can be met in relation to this election. [More…]
Professor Pryor of the Department of Botany of the Australian National University, in a paper on ‘Nature Conservation in relation to Modern Trends in Australian Forestry’ delivered to the Twelfth Pacific Science Congress in 1971, mentions that much of the development of conifer plantations will be by conversion of sclerophyll vegetation - which is representative of our native eucalypts - adding that ‘in the broad sense the survival of the sclerophyll vegetation as a type is not at stake due to any known or foreseen form of agricultural or forestry land use’. [More…]
He spoke first about the amendment which originally was carried in this chamber and said that because the amendment was carried the Bill had to go back to the House of Representatives. [More…]
This is where the Country Party representative completely missed the point. [More…]
As a Country Party representative I am pleased to say that the Government in recent years has further recognised the very important role that primary industry plays in the community. [More…]
In overseas branch offices, Qantas employs 44 male expatriate Australian managers or company representatives, 36 locally engaged male managers or company representatives and one locally engaged female company representative (in Madrid). [More…]
I appeared on ‘This Day Tonight’ in Canberra on last Thursday week by invitation, in the presence of a representative of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
This reinstatement led to the resignation of 4 other officers who thought that the integrity of the programme was being impugned by the appointment as producer of a publicly avowed political representative. [More…]
My question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate as the representative of the Prime Minister. [More…]
Perhaps people think that the long haired, bare footed and rather shabby looking characters we see are representative of youth today. [More…]
I admire the honourable senator’s sincerity as a very honourable representative of Western Australia in this Parliament, but I would point out that the honourable senator’s Party in Western Australia has agreed in principle to this proposition. [More…]
Today some perhaps would argue that the reverse holds good - ‘no representation without taxation’, ff that is accepted, and if what I see as the only practical course is adopted - that is tj give the vote to 18-year-olds - the Government would preclude many in that age group from electing a representative to say what should be done with the taxpayers’ money since they themselves would not yet be taxpayers. [More…]
Our system is really representative democracy. [More…]
To make representative democracy work there has to be a limitation on the number of representatives. [More…]
In this community it would be foolhardy to have a representative assembly which consisted of 100,000, 10,000 or 5,000 representatives because that would be unworkable. [More…]
The number of representatives is a matter of judgment. [More…]
When the number has to be limited the really important question is how to divide the persons who are to be representatives among those who have the obligation of electing the representatives. [More…]
Proportional representation is the electoral system under which those representatives are selected. [More…]
I believe that both are democratic and both are representative: yet both can lead to different results. [More…]
But we have had since 1949 a system under which there is in the Senate a genuinely representative assembly which one might say more accurately reflects the divisions of political opinion in the community than does the House of Representatives. [More…]
I am quite sure that Senator Little will accord with that view because his Party, the Democratic Labor Party, is represented in the Senate whereas although the percentage of votes it gains at each election would normally entitle it to some representation in the House of Representatives if that chamber were a truly representative assembly, it has no representation there. [More…]
For the reason I have indicated, namely, that democracy must be made to work, and because it would be foolhardy to have precisely the same system applying in both chambers, I believe that as we have proportional representation in the Senate, we should retain single member constituencies in the House of Representatives. [More…]
For those reasons, I feel that the case which the Democratic Labor Party has made in support of its amendment is not a case which will make our representative democracy work in the effective way that it must work to maintain its public acceptance. [More…]
It is regarded as a duty on the part of every citizen to cast a vote as to who his or her representative shall be. [More…]
Dual nationals who wish to clarify their position before leaving Australia should get in touch with a representative in Australia of the country of second nationality. [More…]

[More…]
It is not so many months ago that he joined the Australia Party and announced himself to be the representative of the Australia Party in this chamber. [More…]
When he was joined here by 2 Independent representatives, he announced that they would be his party, but it is significant that he is seldom here to lead them. [More…]
Copies of the final report of the Lausanne meeting were circulated to interested bodies in Australia to enable them to make representations concerning the attitude that the Australian representative should take at the Paris meeting. [More…]
The other members include 10 who are the occupants of certain Commonwealth or State Government positions and 11 who are the nominated representatives of various professional associations and colleges and of the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories Commission. [More…]
There is nothing to prevent these organisations nominating a female representative, although only one has done so. [More…]
A group comprising representatives of Primary Industry, Fisheries Division, CSIRO Applied Chemistry, CSIRO Fisheries and Oceanography, Departments of National Development, Navy, and Environment, Aborigines and the Arts, as well as a representative of the oil industry has been established to advise on materials and equipment to be stockpiled. [More…]
It saw such a Council a* a national body, fully representative of producers, commodity groups and exporters. [More…]
1 can now inform the House that the Australian Shippers’ Council, a body representative of major exporter, commodity and producer interests has been formed and has held its inaugural meeting. [More…]
Initially, the Committee requested- written submissions from 7 departments which were selected as being representative of a wide range of Commonwealth publishing operations. [More…]
The index was calculated for each Sydney auction series, using 33 wool types which are a representative cross-section of the Australian clip as a whole. [More…]
The graph shows that, with the exception of the House of Representatives election in 1969, the price of wool comparatively speaking either peaked just prior to an election or was on the way up at the time of an election. [More…]
Mr Gorton spoke very favourably of Mr Giles’ work as a member of the Government and as a representative of his constituents . [More…]
If he cannot spare 10 minutes from his daily routine to speak to this representative, I am sure that the people of the Northern Territory are not getting a fair go. [More…]
Because the project is one of only 2 projects that have not come before the House of Representatives for approval and because people are aggrieved by the decision of the Committee, I suggest that the representative of the Darwin residents should be able to see the Minister for the Interior (Mr Hunt) to present his case. [More…]
I believe that the Minister should view sympathetically, in view of the evidence that we have before us, the request for a reopening of the case, particularly in view of the fact that the project has not been submitted to the House of Representatives for approval. [More…]
Some 2 or 3 weeks ago a representative of the Miscellaneous Workers Union of Australia raised with the Secretary of the Joint House Department and myself the question of the hours of duty worked by the attendant staff of that Department and pointed out that they worked 40 hours a week both in the session and the recess before overtime was payable, while attendants on the staffs of the Senate and the House of Representatives worked 42 hours a week in session and 321/2 hours a week in recess before overtime was payable. [More…]
The representative of the Miscellaneous Workers Union was informed that the question that he had raised would receive consideration and that an examination of the hours of duty of these attendants and other related groups is, in fact, currently in progress. [More…]
It is a body which is representative of the agencies which have the job of securing the advertising which the Commonwealth departments want to do. [More…]
Mr Saker was appointed by a Liberal Government as a representative of the trade union movement. [More…]
The fact that Senator Webster, who would be representative of some of the duller members of the community, agrees with Senator Little shows the extent to which this sort of statement can have effect upon the population if it is made repeatedly. [More…]
Will the Attorney-General convey to the appropriate quarters the suggestion that it might be to the benefit of the legislation if a representative of the Australian Council of Trade Unions were included on the committee? [More…]
1 do not advocate this, but it might be advantageous if a representative of the employers associations were also included. [More…]
As the AttorneyGeneral would know, several representatives of the Australian Council of Trade Unions have had extensive experience overseas in this aspect of employment opportunities. [More…]
As it represents so many people, I believe that the Australian Council of Trade Unions should have a representative on the committee. [More…]
He was a dual parliamentary representative. [More…]
I should like to associate the Country Party representatives in this place with the tributes which have been paid by both the Leader of the Government (Senator Murphy) and the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers). [More…]
He was certainly a great representative for the seat of Perth in the Parliament, and I believe he earned himself a great reputation in Western Australia by working for the slow learner group in that State. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate, as the representative of the Prime Minister in this place: In view of the recognition by the Whitlam Government of the Government of North Vietnam, and consequently the de jure recognition that there are two separate Vietnams, a proposition constantly denied by honourable senators opposite until recently, will the Prime Minister ask the North Vietnamese [More…]
Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs had before it a reference by the Senate concerning the law and administration of divorce, custody and family matters and was in the process of conducting an inquiry by taking evidence from the judiciary, the legal profession, academics and representative organisations; and thirdly, the fact that the Attorney-General himself sat on such committee and would be aware of the complexity, difficulty and variance of opinion on the subject of reviewing the field of matrimonial and family law, I ask: Will the Attorney-General suspend the operation of the amended rules, refer the suspended rules to the Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs when that Committee is reconstituted and defer any further similar action until the Committee has presented a report to the Senate? [More…]
The suggestion was put to me, as the representative of the Government, by all capital city commercial licensees, with the exception perhaps of one, that in view of the spread of revenue advertising, the costs of production, and the high cost of the purchase of programmes from abroad, the amount of advertisement revenue available to them would seriously inhibit them in increasing the Australian content of their programmes and also would jeopardise them from an economic point of view, especially with the advent of colour television in March 1975. [More…]
If a drug representative presents a new drug he will be asked not whether it is efficient, but what it costs. [More…]
The fact is that our pay propositions have been welcomed by the servicemen, by their representative bodies, by the Returned Services League and by everybody else. [More…]
I hope to the satisfaction of all sides of the Senate, the fact that in this chamber just a little over 3 months ago it was said that a delegation which was present in Canberra from Darwin could not gel an audience from a representative of the Government. [More…]
When Senator Young began to ask his question I thought it was on a subject which was mainly within the responsibility of Senator Cavanagh, who, as the honourable senator knows, is the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Transport, Mr Charles Jones. [More…]
The Minister for Transport has met representatives of Adelaide Ship Construction and has attempted to reach some agreement with them as to a continuation of orders in the area. [More…]
As to the inference that it would be handed over to some embassy or representative of a foreign power before being presented to the Senate, I can assure the honourable senator that there is no intention of that course occurring. [More…]
My question, which is addressed to the Minister for Works, being the representative of the Minister for Transport, arises out of an answer he gave recently in reply to a question asked by Senator McLaren. [More…]
I should have thought that privilege would be something that would be within the preserve of the whole of the Senate and that, therefore, the membership of the Committee should be as representative as possible. [More…]
I think that, as far as possible, the membership of the Committee should be representative of all political parties in the Senate. [More…]
I direct a question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as the representative in this chamber of the Prime Minister. [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to an appeal made in the ‘Australian Financial Review’ by Mr Paul Atroshenko, President of the Artists Guild of Australia, for the Government to sponsor a conference in Canberra of representatives of all art societies, art schools and interested groups to ascertain from them their practical needs and desires in respect to the new Council for the Arts? [More…]
I ask a question of the Minister for Works as the representative of the Minister for Transport. [More…]
As the representative of the Minister for Civil Aviation I would say that, as the honourable senator knows, the Commonwealth has power to acquire land compulsorily. [More…]
First, where a claimant for a pension dies after a decision on his application has been given by the Repatriation Commission, his legal personal representative has not been permitted to lodge and prosecute an appeal with an entitlement appeal tribunal or an assessment appeal tribunal. [More…]
A legal personal representative should be allowed this right and this is the purpose of clause 5 of the Bill, lt should be borne in mind, however, that action taken under this new provision will be subject to other provisions of the Act that govern and place time limits on claims and appeals procedures generally. [More…]
Did any representative of the Australian Government or the Australian Labor Party attend this meeting; if so, who were they. [More…]
No official representative of the Australian Government or the Australian Labor Party attended this meeting. [More…]
Is it also a fact that Mr Whitlam advocated the appointment of an Australian representative to Hanoi? [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to the impending visit of a representative group of Australian capitalists to the People’s Republic of China seeking trade relations with that country? [More…]
Is there any possibility that representatives from Australian primary industry may be included in the Australian delegation? [More…]
To suggest that a committee that will have representation from 4 political parties and on which the Democratic Labor Party will have only one representative to express the view that may be held by this Party will be in some way stacked against Mr Burchett is completely ridiculous and honourable senators opposite know it. [More…]
In consequence, at the next Federal elections a wider and more representative Australian electorate will choose their political leaders. [More…]
I imagine that my Party would be said to be more representative of the outer metropolitan and rural areas of Australia than it would be said to reflect the views of the inner metropolitan area. [More…]
It will be necessary for honourable senators representing States other than Victoria and New South Wales to look very closely at what the situation will be in the House of ‘Representatives, the House which is said to reflect the more popular vote of the people of Australia. [More…]
All of us here are well aware of Senator Wood’s devotion to the responsibilities he has as an elected representative of the Australian people. [More…]
I believe it is absolutely unpardonable conduct for an Attorney-General to allow a senior representative of this country who holds a national position to have his character smeared in that way when, by one statement, it could have been retrieved. [More…]
There were also 6 representatives from the State branches plus one representative from the Northern Territory Branch. [More…]
It is a dangerous practice to single out any individual country or delegate for special mention but I trust I will be forgiven for mentioning the representative from Papua New Guinea, Miss Abaijah. [More…]
An advisory council does provide some means whereby the representative opinion of certain elected persons in the Australian Capital Territory can be heard and considered before the legislation comes into force. [More…]
To my way of thinking, that, as representative of the section of the people they purport to represent, is absolutely obnoxious to all proper principle. [More…]
Mr President, we could say that we will not have any representative Ministers. [More…]
They are Ministers authorised by the GovernorGeneral, the Queen’s representative in this country. [More…]
When a marriage has broken down I believe, and I think the community believes - I was interested to see the representative of the Catholic Church on television last night accepting this proposition - that the law should not be degrading, as it is, and ought not be expensive, as it is. [More…]
The responses to enquiries made in a representative selection of countries no longer in diplomatic relations with Taiwan indicate that the position in those countries is essentially no different from the position, as just outlined, in Australia. [More…]
As the representative of the Minister for Civil Aviation I would say that, as the honourable senator knows, the Commonwealth has power to acquire land compulsorily This is rarely done for airport purposes without consultation and planning with the States. [More…]
I take this opportunity to remind Senator Murphy of Mr Chifley’s question to Mr Menzies in the House of Representative- in March 1950 regarding the use of confidential documents or, as Mr Chifley described them, documents which purport to be so in debates’. [More…]
It is fairly obvious to us that Mr Chifley, the Prime Minister responsible for the establishment of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and a Labor man truly representative of the working people of this country, had, like other Australians, different standards of fairness and decency from those to which Senator Murphy adheres. [More…]
Two yean ago I went to Yugoslavia as a member of a delegation which included Senator Davidson, the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sir William Aston, and several of my South Austraiian colleagues now in the Government - Mr Chris Hurford and Dr Ritchie Gun. [More…]
Rightly, he extended an invitation to the Yugoslav Government to send a representative to Australia. [More…]
They would like the opportunity to give evidence against Mr Jurjevic and Zlatko Lazic who they say is masquerading in this country as a diplomat at the Yugoslav Embassy but who is the representative in this country of tt e Yugoslav secret police. [More…]
1 have made my comments about that point, Mr Deputy President, and in my view, from the number of migrants in our community who have spoken to me since last Sunday, there can be no doubt - if they are representative of the migrants of Australia - that there is a very real fear existing amongst those people. [More…]
In this connection it is extremely interesting to note that the Government senators concede that the Yugoslav Government, whose representative it was feting here a fortnight or 3 weeks ago, deals with its political opponents by shooting them. [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 ot officers of the Attorney-General’s Department. [More…]
When 1 looked at the notice of motion I saw that the Committee was to consist of certain senators from the Government side, certain senators nominated by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Withers) and one senator to be nominated by the Australian Democratic Labor Party and that there was to be no representative from the Australian Country Party, and this concerned me. [More…]
As 1 say, there was to be no representative from the Country Party. [More…]
Because an inquiry into prices would involve an investigation of areas of interest to the Australian Country Party, I believe that the membership of the proposed committee should include a representative from this chamber of the Country Party. [More…]
I think that the Country Party has a right to have a representative on the committee and I support the amendment. [More…]
The Minister for Labour has therefore decided to recommend to Cabinet the establishment of a representative committee to draw up a uniform code of safety standards for adoption by all departments. [More…]
Let us get some representative from Tasmania who will not seek to take political advantage of something involving the deprivation of one section of the Tasmanian population. [More…]
As justification for the attitude of my Party I mention that 1 have been approached by a representative group of Croatian citizens with 2 requests. [More…]
I stated this publicly when asked by a representative of the French television station. [More…]
I spent a couple of hours with a representative of the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry. [More…]
I think that it would be an excellent idea if a representative of the Australian Democratic Labor Party could be included in this Committee. [More…]
When our Senate Committee meets with the House of Representatives Committee - a similar committee - I have no doubt that on the House of Representatives Committee there will be representatives of the Country Party. [More…]
At least in the functioning of the amalgamated committee there will be a representative of the Country Party. [More…]
The appointment of an additional Senator, thus expanding the membership of the Committee by one, if it is possible to do that, would accommodate the appointment of a representative of the Australian Democratic Labor Party. [More…]
It may be that the number of senators that we can appoint to the Joint Committee is limited in relation to the strength of House of Representatives representation. [More…]
If so, could I suggest that a representative of my Party be appointed to the House Committee? [More…]
But the point is that the membership of these committees is not big enough to make them as representative a possible. [More…]
On that argument, if this committee is to be made a committee representative of the Senate, senators from the Country Party and the DLP as well as an Independent senator should be appointed to it. [More…]
But if this argument is to be carried to its logical conclusion and if the membership of a committee is to be representative of the membership of the Senate, I point out again that an Independent senator must be appointed to each committee. [More…]
I ask the AttorneyGeneral whether it is a fact that on 7th April last he held a meeting with about 7 people whom his Press release described as representative Croatian origin Australians. [More…]
Would not their sifting of the files constitute breaching normal security of the documents, or is it a common practice for ASIO files to be examined by such a broadly representative group? [More…]
In fact, if one looks at the accords signed in Paris one finds that there were 4 signatories - the representative of the Government of the United States of America, the representative of the Saigon Government, which is recognised by this Government as it was by the previous Government; the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in Hanoi and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam. [More…]
He said that it was going too far but that we might well send a representative there so that we could work out and organise an aid program. [More…]
These were discussions between finance ministers and treasurers of a representative group of countries known as the Committee of Twenty. [More…]
That statement comes from a representative of the only Party which has ever reduced pensions in the history of this country. [More…]
Those newspapers encouraged their readers to get cracking during the last election campaign, to badger every parliamentarian and every aspirant wishing to become a representative in Canberra and to hammer them about what they wanted. [More…]
Senator Kane would agree with that remark because he, together with a number of Labor representatives including my colleagues Senator Fitzgerald and Dr Klugman, attended a rally at the Paddington Town Hall. [More…]
As the representative in the Senate of the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) who sits in another place, I thank the honourable senators who have contributed to this debate. [More…]
I am given to understand, by the officers advising me, that in such a situation the pension will be payable by cheque through the Australian financial representative in Geneva. [More…]
In order to see that proper financial arrangements are made - it is impossible at this stage to make better arrangements - if necessary the cheque will be made payable to the person concerned via the financial representative of the Australian Government in Geneva. [More…]
I am only the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Transport (Mr Charles Jones). [More…]
My question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as the representative in this chamber of the Prime Minister. [More…]
Does he recall that on 13th March the Prime Minister told the House of Representatives that he expected Cabinet’s decision on the question of long term low interest loans to farmers to be announced within a week? [More…]
The fourth main purpose is to correct an existing anomaly in the war service homes legislation by providing for the extension of eligibility to certain persons who served overseas with the Australian forces in the> 1939-45 War or in the subsequent war-like operations as an accredited representative of a welfare organisation. [More…]
I am inclined to think that an attempt is being made to discredit Australia’s representative who is to present the case for the Australian people before the International Court of Justice against the French nuclear tests which will be held in the Pacific. [More…]
If I can get on to this question - I hope I am appealing to the responsible members of the Opposition - I point out that we have to consider in this question whether we should seek to set up a committee for the purpose of attempting to discredit our representative who will appear before the International Court of Justice simply because some honourable senators do not think that the deaths that may occur as a result of the French nuclear explosion in the Pacific are as important as the privacy of some Croatians which may have been invaded by the raid by Commonwealth police, on their homes on that particular night. [More…]
1 was at a State banquet in Belgrade in the company of no less a person than Senator Byrne, Senator Davidson and the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Sir William Aston. [More…]
Sir William Aston invited the Yugoslav Government to send a representative to Australia, and he had every right to do so. [More…]
That is a classic illustration of my point because I know that the representative in that area went around talking about what would happen in the event of a Labor victory and, of course, all the people in the area sensed that we would win. [More…]
The criteria which have existed since federation and which have been accepted by all governments in the interests of truly representative government are to be changed. [More…]
This means that in that instance more than 5 times as many electors were required, in the largest electorate, to send one man to the House of Commons as were required to elect a representative of the smallest electorate. [More…]
Wesberry clearly established that the fundamental principle of representative government in this country ls one of equal representation for equal numbers of people, without regard to race, sex, economic status or place of residence within a State. [More…]
Not only will we have one representative of the Territory in the House of Representatives, but we will have 2 senators for the Territory to represent a total enrolment of some 27,000 electors’. [More…]
If so, in view of the fact that Australia recognises and has diplomatic relations with the Cambodian Government headed by General Lon Nol, and that Dr Cairns is presently on an official trip as a representative of this country, will the Government expressly dissociate itself from the remarks apparently made by Dr Cairns? [More…]
Government Schools party, every group of people which bias a right to exist, to express its views and to seek to get a representative into this Parliament - is threatened by the present Labor Government. [More…]
What has to be considered is that elected governments should be truly representative of the will of the people, but there is sufficient evidence to show that that is not the case in a number of State government areas. [More…]
It should have a simple form for and method of electing a representative. [More…]
The census of 1971 revealed that Western Australia, because of the increase in its population, should have a total of 10 seats in the House of Representatives. [More…]
It revealed that Western Australia should have an additional representative in that House. [More…]
Because Queensland did not have the numbers on the selection panel it did not have any representative in the test team. [More…]
I suppose that right through the history of representative government and democracy there has always been at least an underlying assumption that one person’s opinion is worth that of another person simply because there is no ultimate standard by which we can make these judgments. [More…]
It has been demonstrated as being imperfect in this country, and it has been demonstrated as being imperfect in all the other countries which have so called representative government - the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and other places that have been mentioned. [More…]
As the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Health, I can say to the honourable senator that I understand that Sir Philip Baxter was Chairman of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission for some 15 years. [More…]
As the representative of the Minister for Foreign Affairs has apparently not been advised on the policy of the Australian Democratic Labor Party regarding nuclear explosions, will the Minister take notice that the Democratic Labor Party has repeatedly said that its policy is for complete nuclear disarmament all over the world? [More…]
A representative of a large area must have some loading in his favour if he is to represent his people at all. [More…]
The Minister for Services and Property in another place and his representative here, the Attorney-General (Senator Murphy), have rested their argument for this on what they call the recommendations of the Joint Committee Constitutional Review. [More…]
That being the case, if the Parliament is to be truly representative of the people of the Commonwealth it is only right that the representation should be determined upon the basis of where the people live. [More…]
Of course, a redistribution is essential because the June 1971 census showed that Western Australia is entitled to another member in the House of Representatives. [More…]
Possibly the High Court would then order - there is precedent for this - the appointment of an additional representative by means of an election involving the whole State. [More…]
Therefore we must achieve, as nearly as practicable, the concept of one vote one value so that everyone in this country has an equal say in electing representatives to the Parliament. [More…]
If this creates any problems in insolated localities we should give assistance to the parliamentary representative or to some other agency for the purpose of meeting the requirements of the electors so that they are not disadvantaged. [More…]
The proposal to increase House of Representative’s representation in the Australian Capital Territory to 2 members will be authorised on the basis of section 122 of the Constitution as will the election of 2 Senators for the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Special provision is made for the number of members of the House of Representatives to be elected in Tasmania. [More…]
But the Constitution commits us ito the principle that the number of members of the House of Representatives shall be as near as practicable double the number of members of the Senate. [More…]
Legal opinion is that the provision of senators from Commonwealth Territories - this relates to another part of the Constitution - will not require an increase in the number of members in the House of Representatives. [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 focused on, the human and social problems of the peoples of the world and the real improvement of their life. [More…]
One of its members is a representative of the people of King Island. [More…]
As a result of certain remarks made by a union representative at that conference I was asked whether I would consider taking certain action. [More…]
But he left the impression, which may be able to be overcome here by his representative, the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt), that there had been no consultation between himself, on behalf of the Commonwealth Government, and the States concerned because of a change in attitude. [More…]
I ask: Is it not a fact that on 19 December last year in the United Nations General Assembly the Australian representative voted against, and was in a minority in voting against, a resolution designed to promote measures to prevent international terrorism which endangered human life? [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 26 January, 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 te insulate the region against ideological interference from the Great Powers’. [More…]
Following references in the Press to the withdrawal of a Press Gallery pass to Mr B. Everingham, I inform the Senate that Mr Speaker 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, This decision arises from an incident in November last when Mr Everingham was found 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…]
The matter was investigated by the Commonwealth Police with the authority of the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, not as stated in a Press report of yesterday at the instigation df the President of the Senate and the then .Speaker. [More…]
Mr Speaker 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…]
Will the Minister state whether any, and if so, what, assurances have been given by him on behalf of the Australian Government to Mr Zvogbo either personally or in his capacity as the representative of the African National Council? [More…]
It is obvious that every honourable senator in this place who considers himself to be a representative of a State must vote against clause 39 being included in the Bill and, in that case, must support the amendment. [More…]
Every State government agreed with that legislation and there was, to some people at least, perhaps not to Senator Milliner or to Senator McLaren beside him who also laughs, some obligation on State representatives to see that their State governments would at least be consulted. [More…]
As a representative of that State in the Senate, I must admit, having listened to the policies of the Party, that I can see very little in Mr Hamer’s policies that have not been put forward by his Party on previous occasions. [More…]
So that Committee, a most able Committee representative of all sections of the Senate, found that that type of legislation denies true ministerial responsibility and excludes from the Constitution the proper resolution of constitutional powers by the High Court of Australia. [More…]
I, as a representative of the State of Victoria, am unable to go along with the views of this Government. [More…]
The document that has been circulated to honourable senators from the House of Representatives concerning the reasons of the House of Representative for disagreeing to the amendments of the Senate, states in part: [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; (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…]
That State with a population of 393,000 approximately, less than two and one-half times that of the Australian Capital Territory, 162,000 approximately, has 35 members of the House of Assembly, 19 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 by a single parliamentary representative. [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 for Territory senators will be the life of the House of Representatives. [More…]
This Committee generally has on it one representative from each State, who is a Government supporter, who liaises with the Federal Council of Local Government Associations. [More…]
If we were devising a new structure of representative government for our continent we would have neither so few State governments or so many local authorities. [More…]
This raises some doubt as to whether a Territorial representative could be in the full sense a member of the Senate. [More…]
The national part of the Parliament is the House of Representatives - ‘the organ of the nation. [More…]
The Federal part of the Parliament is the Senate - the organ of the States, the visible representative of the continuity, independence, and reserved autonomy of the States, linking them together as integral parts of the Federal union. [More…]
If the United States plan ls followed territorial delegates would simply be entitled te eater the House of Representative* amd apeak there, but would not be permitted to vote. [More…]
From them persons might be privileged to enter the House of Representatives in order to state their wishes, but these persons could not take any other part in the proceedings. [More…]
A representative is as well as being a speaking machine, a voting one, and if Mr Barton will say in the Bill that this representative or these representatives are not to have votes, tthen my alarm will be dispelled. [More…]
But unlike our Founding Fathers, who were concerned to establish the Senate as the Federal part of the Parliament - ‘the organ of the States, the visible representative of the continuity, independence, and reserved autonomy of the States, linking them together as integral parts of the Federal Union’ - the present Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) leaves no doubt that, as one honourable member of another place expressed recently, he ‘is hell-bent on completely abolishing the States themselves’. [More…]
I look upon its introduction as in fact fulfilling the job I started when I was the representative in another place of the electorate of Grey. [More…]
Allocate the increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the Schools Commission which will include persons familiar with and representative of the Sta;e departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
He said that he would remove the ceiling imposed by Commonwealth legislation on grants in 1974 and subsequent years, and that he would allocate the increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the Schools Commission, which would include persons familiar with and representative of the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
Australia has not only voted as we thought fit but our representative has spoken as we thought fit. [More…]
I went to the United Nations conference on human rights in 1968 and I found - it was not only my experience; we asked other representatives - that other nations regarded Australia in all the international conventions as a joke. [More…]
In view of these effects, will the Minister arrange, before the debate on the proposed legislation, for an examination of the economics of the proposal by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, a representative of the Tariff Board, or a specialist officer of this Department, and circulate a report in adequate time for consideration before that legislation is introduced? [More…]
Yet the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Transport has had so little interest in this matter that he did not even know that the ‘Straitsman’ had been purchased to go into service. [More…]
We were deprived of the benefit of hearing evidence from any officers of the Tasmanian Transport Commission or any other representative of the State Government. [More…]
I shall briefly refer to the situation in Canberra, which has not an elected representative in this chamber. [More…]
I think it is a poor compliment to the representative of the Crown and it is a poor compliment to the Government which, after all, is responsible for the Governor-General’s Speech and for the fact that the presentation of the Address-in-Reply to the GovernorGeneral has been delayed and delayed and delayed. [More…]
The Government can blame only itself that there are people about who deduce from this delay an inclination to show towards the representative of the Crown a spurious kind of republican feeling. [More…]
One of our own members, I am informed, in the House of Representatives, Dr Klugman, found impenetrable obstacles against getting into Czechoslovakia because he had expressed his personal views on what he regarded as an infringement of what was right. [More…]
Yet we in this country receive a diplomatic representative of the puppet government which tyrannises the Czech people because Red Army bayonets are available to back it. [More…]
This representative of the ABC said: ‘Now, is that not very undemocratic?’ [More…]
One of our Government representatives went to Peking and discussed the possibility of our recognising Peking. [More…]
This government representative of a South East Asian nation said: “That is good. [More…]
Representatives of many schools in Australia have sent me copies of letters they have written to Mr Beazley, such as the copy of a letter dated 20 August which I received today. [More…]
The representative wrote thus to the Minister for Education: [More…]
This country has a history of infrequent redistributions and in a representative type of government this is desirable. [More…]
Mr Speaker 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…]
He has ceased to be employed by the radio station by which he was employed and he is not able to act as a Gallery representative for any of the media. [More…]
On the statement of the Presiding Officers the mere fact that he entered an unoccupied office without permission is unacceptable conduct for a Press representative in Parliament House. [More…]
Mr Speaker and I regard Mr Everingham’s explanation 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…]
It is difficult for a layman, let alone the body of journalists in Parliament House, to consider that the account given by Mr Everingham to the newspapers of his conduct is unacceptable conduct for a Press representative. [More…]
I believe that the Senate has a peculiar interest in the national works program because historically it, as the representative of the State, has the responsibility of ensuring that the national works program is distributed equitably between the States. [More…]
Thousands and thousands of dollars were collected prior to the last House of Representatives election from manufacturers in my State of Victoria by a senior representative of the Australian Labor Party, who told them that if Labor got into office it would safeguard the tariff system. [More…]
Yesterday in response to other questions which were asked of me about this matter I made it clear that I am not the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Civil Aviation who is responsible for this matter. [More…]
My question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate as the representative of the Prime Minister in this place. [More…]
J. Wattie Canneries Ltd is one New Zealand representative on that panel. [More…]
British Tobacco Co. (Australia) Ltd is one Australian representative on that panel. [More…]
In reports to the Federation I recall our representative saying: ‘I would like to report but I cannot’. [More…]
I think it was only a process of hint and innuendo from people who were not our representatives on that panel that restored any degree of quietude, amongst our more upset delegates. [More…]
I must say that I was very disappointed that no representative of New Zealand, with the exception of Mr D. O. Walker of New Zealand Forest Products Ltd was prepared to give evidence to the Committee, although the Committee did receive one lot of written evidence. [More…]
I have listened to the debate with considerable interest because I have the responsibility of being the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Immigration (Mr Grassby). [More…]
1 ) that 1 will appoint a trade union representative to the Australian Coastal Shipping Commission. [More…]
At this stage there has been no decision on the representative to be appointed. [More…]
My question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as the representative in this chamber of the Treasurer. [More…]
It was rather interesting to listen to Senator Cavanagh telling us why subsidies have been removed from many of the items from which this Budget removes them and trying to reconcile his explanation with that given by another rural representative in the Labor Party, Senator Primmer. [More…]
If Senator Webster were so concerned about it he might be more active in his defence of the primary producer, because as a representative of the dairy industry in this place he would be about the weakest representative that it has. [More…]
A dose rate of 0.25 millirad per annum may be taken as representative. [More…]
The wattle leaves were also unnaturalistic and not representative of the wattle now generally recognised as the correct Australian floral emblem. [More…]
Allocate the increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the Schools Commission which will include persons familiar with and representative of the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
A representative from the Bureau said: [More…]
But it would seem to make more sense with regard to this industry to have an organisation with which a meat authority could confer than to appoint a consumer representative to the meat authority itself. [More…]
2 ) to the House of Representatives that he is again seeking to create- for what purposes one may only speculatea second situation in which the double dissolution provision may be utilised. [More…]
Having said that and having sought to make abundantly clear the Opposition’s general attitude, I return to the matter which should be of vital concern to this Senate, viewing its position as a chamber which is representative of the States and also as a chamber which functions as a House of review. [More…]
They resolutely eschewed proposals by successive Labor Oppositions, pensioner representative groups . [More…]
But I believe that there should be a representative of the taxpayer on these tribunals. [More…]
I saw a Press report that a representative was coming from England to Australia to discuss regular flights of the Concorde aircraft to commence in 1 975. [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…]
Is the report correct that no official representative from Australia attended the recent conference on business opportunities in the Pacific which was held in Singapore? [More…]
Is it a fact that official representatives attended from all other countries in the region? [More…]
The papers that reveal this and the last lot of dockets that I received I gave immediately to the representative from the Auditor-General’s Department. [More…]
Honourable senators presently in the chamber are aware that the Parliament still participates directly in the determination of the policy of the National Library by electing its representatives from the Parliament. [More…]
One representative is elected from the House of Representatives and one from the Senate. [More…]
These 2 representatives serve on the Council of the National Library. [More…]
It would be incredible if the Australian representative at the United Nations particularly as he is the Chairman of the United Nations Security Council for this month, were not doing his utmost to ensure that there is a bringing together of the parties. [More…]
Whether we like it or not, the Australian representative at the United Nations is in the hot seat. [More…]
The Government introduced the proposals to take a vote of the people and its viewpoint was endorsed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. [More…]
The mere fact that there may be some opposition to the proposal from some quarters and that the honourable senator may share the opposition on the basis that this representative Parliament should not be given certain powers to make laws for the welfare of the people is his own affair. [More…]
As to the position in the Senate, honourable senators as well as members of the House of Representatives who are members of the Australian Labor Party come here in a representative capacity and agree to meet together and to decide questions such as this. [More…]
As the honourable senator is aware, I am at present the representative in this chamber of, I think, 20 portfolios. [More…]
The Opposition will also seek to ensure that in appearances before the Industrial Courts, as distinct from appearances before the Industrial Commission, the appropriate representative to move on behalf of the Government will be the Attorney-General and not the Minister for Labour. [More…]
Let us take the situation of a shop steward or a shop representative who is negotiating in an area outside the establishment but nevertheless is connected with a dispute that has occurred on the job. [More…]
In practice, union representatives on the jobs are elected by the men. [More…]
Very often, for considerable periods the organisation does not know the names of the representatives of the workers on the jobs. [More…]
The organisations do not know until such time as notification is sent to the branch office or the head office to let the oganisation know who the representatives of the workers are at that time. [More…]
During the period that elapses while notification of appointment of the representative is being forwarded to the branch office or the head office, acts may occur. [More…]
A representative may not have a set of rules of the organisation. [More…]
There are all sorts of reasons why a representative may not have the rules, why he may not understand them, why he may not completely understand the laws or why he may not even have a copy of an award. [More…]
The Australian representative in the Security Council, as President of the Council for October, has been actively involved in consultations designed to bring about a ceasefire. [More…]
During this month of October the Australian representative at the United Nations is chairing the Security Council, and every endeavour is being made by Australia to bring about peace in the area. [More…]
I direct my question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as the representative of the Prime Minister in this place. [More…]
If a conciliation commissioner goes into his court room one morning and has appearing before him, say, a vigilance officer from the Waterside Workers Federation who tells him: The waterside workers have been asked to handle a sulphide cargo and it is a noxious job’ and the shipping company representative says: We will settle for an extra payment of 10c’, the conciliation commissioner, recalling what he read in the ‘Financial Review’, will say: ‘It is not on*. [More…]
-I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate- and I think this question also concerns him as representative of the Treasurer in this place at the present timewhether the Government has given consideration as yet to a submission against the Budget proposals to withdraw tax concessions from the gold mining industry which has been presented to it by the Western Australian Government, the Chamber of Mines of West Australia and the Kalgoorlie District Regional Council? [More…]
I understand that the trade union movement has been invited to appoint Mr Souter, the Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, as its representative on that body. [More…]
Does the Government support the statement of its representative at the United Nations? [More…]
In directing a question to the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, I refer to the strong denunciation by the Australian representative at the United Nations of countries that continue to trade with Rhodesia in defiance of the United Nations resolutions. [More…]
Another one who appears on the list of people receiving payments- he is not shown in the ordinary accounts- is Mr George Mye, who is another island representative. [More…]
For instance, we have banks in Tokyo but they are not banking; they are representative offices as such. [More…]
We as a Party have taken the view that independence should not be thrust upon Papua New Guinea, that there should be a request to us by a representative body of Papua New Guinea which says: ‘We are now ready for independence. [More…]
These matters have to be resolved primarily, of course, by the Papua New Guineans themselves, and the decisions have to be made by the only representative body of Papua New Guinea, namely, the House of Assembly. [More…]
These matters have to be resolved by the only really representative body of the people of Papua New [More…]
I am informed that the Fairfax representative has been withdrawn but has been replaced by a news man from the Channel 7 station in Melbourne, that is the Melbourne ‘Herald ‘ station. [More…]
The Australian representative at the United Nations is this month chairing the Security Council. [More…]
Is it not true, Senator Wright, that you as a Tasmanian senator like myself, or as a representative of any other State of the Commonwealth, would like to see the trade between Australia and New Zealand carried in Australian and New Zealand ships? [More…]
The situation at the Security Council, the presidency of which for this month happens to fall on the shoulders of the Australian representative, Sir Laurence Mclntyre, is that several attempts have been made to achieve a cease fire. [More…]
One must remember also that simultaneously with the Security Council’s activities- and Sir Laurence Mclntyre has been tireless in trying to get the representatives together, adjourning when nothing could be done, and finally getting them together again yesterday- Dr Kissinger has been negotiating directly with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
Engineering Union may be required to speak to a representative of the Boilermakers and Blacksmiths Society of Australia or to a representative of the Federated Clerks Union. [More…]
I do not know whether the Oppositon knows this, but I would say that on 99.9 per cent of the occasions on which a union organiser goes into an establishment he goes first to the employer or the employer’s representative. [More…]
When they are entering an establishment they pay the common courtesy of going to the employer or to the employer’s representative. [More…]
Sitting in the gallery of the chamber we have a representative of one of the largest employer organisations in Australia. [More…]
Requests the Secretary-General to designate a Special Representative to’ proceed to the Middle East to establish and maintain contacts with the States concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts-to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the provisions and principles in this resolution; [More…]
Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the progress of the efforts of the Special Representative as soon as possible. [More…]
I am asking how we can have our representative act as Chairman of the Security Council- how on earth we can make any contribution to the resolution of these difficulties- if we do no adopt an even-handed attitude. [More…]
Requests the Secretary-General to designate a Special Representative to proceed to the Middle East to establish and maintain contacts with the States concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement in accordance with the provisions and principles in this resolution; [More…]
Requests the Secretary-General to report to the Security Council on the progress of the efforts of the Special Representative as soon as possible. [More…]
In fact, his report was representative of the situation of most of the big pastoral companies, reflecting the type of prosperity which exists in the rural community at present. [More…]
It was also agreed that we should develop a planned program of cultural, scientific, and technological exchanges between Australia and China, and that representative missions in these fields would be exchanged in 1974. [More…]
allocate increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the Expert Schools Commission which will include persons familiar with and representative of the State departments, the catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
There were people within the Labor Party who believed that the Commission should be constituted on a representative basis and that various organisations and interest groups concerned about education should have representatives or delegates serving on the Schools Commission. [More…]
It decided that it should not be a schools commission consisting of representatives of various organisations and interest groups but that it should be a body similar to the Universities Commission, for example, which does not consist of representatives of interest groups. [More…]
The argument advanced against the proposition that the Schools Commission should be a type of delegate or representative body- I was one of those who sucessfully argued for the policy which was adopted at the Labor Party conferencewas that in having a schools commission which consisted of a certain number of delegates from private schools, a certain number from state schools and all the other possible permutations and combinations that one could think of, we would not have a quasi-judicial body looking over all the needs of education without somebody being responsible to someone else and being responsible for election or nomination to some organisation or interest group. [More…]
delegate or representative to the Schools Commission. [More…]
But the honourable member for Wannon indicated at that time to the House of Representatives that the amendments would be polished up considerably when the Bill came before the Senate. [More…]
I believe that adoption of the amendments will ensure that the Commission is sufficiently representative of interests closest to education in Australia. [More…]
I suggest that he has sought far and wide to find not only in terms of qualification but also geographically a wide and representative selection of people to set in motion this new philosophy that we have about how education can be stimulated and set on a new road in this country. [More…]
Members of the Labor Party tonight have spent most of their time challenging the proposed amendments on the basis that we are wrong in seeking a representative structure and that they are right in seeking a Minister-nominated structure. [More…]
No matter where one may roam it cannot but be said that there is a close liaison and interest brought into the management and provision of homes where there is the personal interest of the representative body that may have eventually provided the home itself or which may have an interest in the on-going management of the home. [More…]
In 1906 the Australian Government found it necessary to appoint a representative to look after its interests in the United Kingdom, especially in connection with the purchase of defence material. [More…]
A representative of the Treasurer was later appointed to deal with financial matters. [More…]
In 1909 the High Commissioner Act was passed to enable broader diplomatic functions to be exercised by Australia’s official representative. [More…]
The 1909 Act created the office of our first diplomatic representative abroad. [More…]
It is our view that if every group represented on the Commission were required to do the same, the result would be a Commission properly representative of the education community, but free enough from sectional pressures to be able to function as an expert, objective body. [More…]
I pause here to say that the Opposition envisages, not one nominee representative of the teachers, but two. [More…]
In regard to parent representatives, I quote from page 2 the amendments that have been circulated by the Opposition: [More…]
They will make it more representative, more effective and more efficient and therefore more truly representative of what the Government had in mind. [More…]
A representative of one of the big exploration companies came to me in Perth a couple of years ago and asked my opinion on whether the Commonwealth would be prepared to issue titles to areas in deeper water off-shore in Western Australia. [More…]
In 1970, in the Third Committee of the U.N. General Assembly, the Australian representative expressed concern about the treatment of Jews in the Soviet Union and appealed to the Soviet Union to resist from policies or practices of discrimination against citizens of Jewish origin and to allow those wishing to emigrate to do so. [More…]
Reference was also made to the same issue by the Australian representative to the 1971 meeting of the Third Committee. [More…]
He has entered into a contract in good faith with a representative of the Australian Government. [More…]
However, we have agreed in the Senate to allow for another member of the House of Representatives when redistribution next occurs. [More…]
I reminded people from the Liberal Party who came to speak to me that the Australian Capital Territory has not only an elected member who is their representative in the Parliament but also another Minister whose sole responsibility is to look after the Australian [More…]
At that date the Northern Territory had one representative in the House of Representatives and no representation in the Senate. [More…]
The member in the House of Representatives is entitled to vote on any matter and has all the rights and privileges of an ordinary State member of the Parliament. [More…]
Originally the representative of the North Territory could vote only on matters affecting the Northern Territory. [More…]
When the vote was taken in the House of Representatives on the original Bill, it was carried by 78 votes to 43. [More…]
When that Bill was rejected by the Senate and went back to the House of Representatives, no division was called for. [More…]
Having one representative for an area of that size is not doing justice either to the member or to the people who live in the Northern Territory. [More…]
-We have listened to some of the views expressed by Senator McLaren about a Government Bill which proposes to give the territories representation in the Senate, in addition to that in the House of Representatives, by 2 senators for the Northern Territory and 2 senators for the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
He suggested that just because the Northern Territory had been conceded representation in the representative House it followed logically that it was proper to give representation in the Senate. [More…]
At that time the Senate was in the position of striving to maintain the purpose of its constitutional existence as an independent expression of Australian thought, quite distinct from the House of Representatives. [More…]
The House of Representatives shares with us one factor. [More…]
I say to members of the Opposition that if they vote against this legislation they will vote against what the representative from the Northern Territory wants. [More…]
The people of the Australian Capital Territory have a committee directly representative of the 2 Houses of Parliament working in their interests and drawing the attention of the Parliament to deficiencies and to assistance that is needed for the people. [More…]
Quite recently the Senate approved the proposition that there be an extra member of the House of Representatives for the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Seventeen Country Party members in the House of Representatives supported this legislation when it was before that House, but Senator Drake-Brockman and Senator Webster now are repudiating what their colleagues in the House of Representatives suggested. [More…]
Although representative Calder puts a view point in the House of [More…]
I have no doubt that if the Government attempted to get what I might call a form of electoral equilibrium with parity between House of Representatives seats honourable Senators opposite would argue that Country Party members have to contend with the problem of travelling massive distances each year. [More…]
There is no way that we can fertilise democracy other than by assuring that representative Calder has a couple of senators to assist him in his electorate. [More…]
On one memorable occasion when that Committee was taking evidence in Darwin from representatives of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission- a body for which I do not have a lot of timeevidence was given that was very close to perjury. [More…]
The moral of the story, and I can see Senator Poyser nodding his head, is that representative Calder should have done it. [More…]
If one goes through the Northern Territory on committees dealing with Aboriginal welfare, water pollution or wildlife conservation it becomes clear that representative Calder cannot carry the load. [More…]
I say to them: ‘Why do you not go to representative Calder?’ [More…]
The Australian Capital Territory has a representative in the House of Representatives. [More…]
They are represented by 10 senators, 5 members of the House of Representatives, 35 members of the State House of Assembly and 19 Legislative Councillors. [More…]
By simple division we find that there is one representative for every 3,464 people enrolled in Tasmania. [More…]
The Parliament already has agreed that there should be an extra member for the Australian Capital Territory and when that Bill becomes operative it will mean that there will be 2 members of the House of Representatives each representing 48,000 people in the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Probably there is also a veiled reference to Miss Bobbi Sykes who recently went from Sydney to Palm Island as a representative of the Aboriginal Medical Service. [More…]
It means that a decision can be made by a representative sample which will give a true indication of the general opinion of the Australian people. [More…]
We are having the old red herrings drawn right across the trail by those who say that it is the Senate versus the House of Representatives. [More…]
If indeed this issue were the Senate versus the House of Representatives we would be defeated anyway. [More…]
I understand that this is a simple situation where every senator can vote as an individual, not representative of a party, not a representative even of a group that may get together on this kind of issue. [More…]
We are seeking some formal type of decision by the groups of members of Parliament sitting together as individual members of Parliament, not the Senate versus the House of Representatives. [More…]
We sent it as a message to the House of Representatives and it duly stayed at the bottom of the notice paper for the whole of the period until it was taken from the notice paper. [More…]
If there is a desire to use this information for an election purpose, is there not a responsibility on a member to make this plain before voters innocently decide how to cast their vote as to who their representative will be without knowing of the activities of a certain candidate? [More…]
Allocate the increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the expert Schools Commission which will include persons familiar with and representative of the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
I simply re-emphasise those words used by the Prime Minister in his policy speech- that the schools commission to be created by a Labor government would include persons familiar with and representative of- I wish to underline the words ‘representative of- the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
The Prime Minister said that the Commission would include representatives of State education departments, the Catholic system and teachers. [More…]
But the Prime Minister accepted the principle that the Schools Commission should be comprised of people who were familiar with and representative of particular areas of education. [More…]
What the Opposition sees is a desirability that there should not be simply an hierarchy leading up to a few who make the ultimate decisions but rather that there should be a sufficient number which is representative of the various interest groups, although not answerable to those interest groups, throughout the community. [More…]
I therefore made the point that the Government not only had a mandate but also had indicated, as shown in the passage from its policy speech that Senator Rae drew attention to, that it would put on the Schools Commission ‘people familiar with and representative of State education departments, the catholic system and the teaching profession’. [More…]
The points which I wish to make are, firstly, that there was a mandate; secondly, that there was a specific undertaking by the Government to make representative categories; and, thirdly, that the various parent and school organisations made representations to the Karmel Committee, to the Prime Minister and to ourselves. [More…]
It is our view that if every group represented on the Commission were required to do the same, the result would be a Commission properly representative of the education community, but free enough from sectional pressures to be able to function was an expert objective body. [More…]
The Council’s letter also said that if every group did the same- that is, if every group represented on the Commission were required to nominate a panel from which the Government would choose one person- the result would be a properly constituted and properly representative Schools Commission. [More…]
It is our view that if every group represented on the Commission were required to do the same, the result would be a Commission properly representative of the education community, but free enough from sectional pressures to be able to function as an expert, objective body. [More…]
Nowhere in that entire paragraph is there a demand that from the panels submitted to the Minister a representative should be chosen in the way that, for example, a senator is chosen or a man from a constituency is chosen for the House of Representatives. [More…]
I was making was that to be bound to this inflexible system which the amendment moved by the Opposition seeks to impose on the Government is to lay ourselves open to having representatives, in this direct sense, of various organisations that may cease to be representative in any true sense if there is a hiving off of some of the most im portant elements in the organisation such as we see in the case which I have quoted. [More…]
The argument between us, really, is whether the Commission should be what we seek to make it, which is a flexible body reflecting as widely as possible the views of people across the education spectrum but not consisting of representatives, in the literal sense, of people who represent pressure groups. [More…]
But the Opposition by its amendment seeks an inflexible directly representative body which, I suggest, is undesirable from many points of view, among them being that it limits the opportunity for the Government of the day to choose the best people who are offering. [More…]
Where, for instance, on the present Committee are the 6 representatives of the Australian Education Council? [More…]
We do not want to be stuck with 6 representatives of the State bureaucracies. [More…]
Of course, we then go to the next suggestion that there should be one representative of the Episcopal Conference of Australia. [More…]
There is one on the Committe who might be said to speak for the independent schools- that is a Mr Moyes- but he is not in any sense a representative of these schools, accountable to them in any way. [More…]
But after examining the list of the Committee people whose names I have read out it is very difficult to find any support for Senator Carrick ‘s argument that we had conceded the Opposition’s point because, in fact, we had a committee that was almost entirely representative of the categories which he had asked should be represented. [More…]
I pause here to say that the Opposition envisages not one nominee representative of the teachers, but two. [More…]
Notwithstanding that, we believe that the Australian Teachers Federation is representative of the teachers of Australia in its constitution. [More…]
We believe that it is the body most representative of teachers and we would be content that it should be the body represented on the Schools Commission. [More…]
The Minister would also have the right to select 2 teachers from a panel of five submitted by the body which I am sure is generally accepted as being representative of the Australian Government primary and secondary school teachers- the Australian Teachers Federation. [More…]
In using the word ‘representative’ what we have accepted- we have had many discussions about this and I am sure that other honourable senators have also had many discussions about this- is that bodies such as ACSSO- the Australian Council of State School Organisationsthe 3 New South Wales federations which have expressed their views to us on many occasions, the Victorian Federation of State School Mothers Clubs and various other organisations all of which I could refer to in detail are keen to have what they call representation of parents and teachers on the Australian Schools Commission. [More…]
Episcopal Conference of Australia and the Australian Parents’ Council are 2 bodies which are primarily representative, although not exclusively, of the Catholic area and another body is primarily representative of the non-Catholic independent schools although it does include Catholic order schools. [More…]
One point I want to make is that perhaps all of us have been neglectful for not seeing that the promise made by the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) in his policy speech has been carried out because provision has not been made in the structure of the Schools Commission to include a direct representative of the taxpayers. [More…]
It wishes to ensure that there is a guarantee in the structure of the Commission that representatives of parent interest groups, teacher interest groups, areas of research in education, State administration interests and the area of special education for the handicapped will be included in the membership of the Commission. [More…]
The great battle in those 19.5 years was a battle by the teachers to get the right to appoint their representatives to government education bodies. [More…]
After I battled, as a unionist, for 19.5 years to get the right for teachers to be represented by their own people on government education bodies, I now find teachers coming to me and saying that they do not want to appoint their representatives; they would like the Government to appoint people for them’. [More…]
They said: ‘We would like to nominate our representatives’. [More…]
The representatives of the parents of state school children said: ‘It would do us if we could nominate our representatives’. [More…]
I was informed by the teachers’ representative and by a prominent representative of parents of state school children that they would like to appoint their representatives but that they had been told from some source that if they did so they would not get the Bill. [More…]
One group wishes to select its representatives because it was not given any voice and was not even allowed to put up a panel on the last occasion. [More…]
A statement was made that the representative of that group had approved the whole of the Karmel Committee’s report so far as the per capita grants were concerned, but he certainly did not represent the views of that group when he made that statement. [More…]
Allocate the increased grants for 1974 and subsequent years on the basis of recommendations prepared and published by the Infant Schools Commission which will include persons familiar with and representative of the State departments, the Catholic system and the teaching profession. [More…]
The State Service Union which is the Public Service Union- I believe honourable senators will agree that that is a very respectable union- was asked to nominate a representative from the union to go on the Board. [More…]
We heard Senator McManus interject when Senator James McClelland was speaking about the appropriate parents’ association from which a representative should be selected. [More…]
Senator James McClelland said that he was with these people last Friday night and that they said the representative should be from their organisation. [More…]
Senator McManus said that that is not the appropriate body from which the representative should come. [More…]
He says that the members shall be the direct representatives of the people who sponsor their nomination. [More…]
At least Senator Rae ‘s amendment give a choice to the Government as to who the representative shall be. [More…]
In a way this is an historic occasion in the Senate because we have heard enunciated a new democratic principle which seems to be that a government should not appoint commissions without making them directly representative, by nomination, of the various groups which will be affected by their decisions. [More…]
Did we see any rush from these people when they were in office to appoint trade unionists, or representatives of the consumers, or representatives of any particular groups to the Australian Broadcasting Commission? [More…]
I say that because that Bill gives effect to the program of assistance recommended by the Interim Schools Committee and will be the real test for those who now claim their endorsement of the Government’s policy of using that representative group of experts to make recommendations on the financial needs of schools and the appropriate means of providing for those needs. [More…]
This clause, as I have said, establishes Schools Commission advisory bodies in each State and Territory to provide at that level a widely representative group of people who can assist the Commission in the development of its ideas. [More…]
It came together to discuss, mainly, the election of a truly representative, fully Aboriginal consultative council. [More…]
It is considered that there ought to be an office or some central location where the headquarters for each representative can be situated. [More…]
After discussion with Aboriginals I was of the opinion that the ballot should go ahead so that we could have the best possible representative council of Aboriginals. [More…]
When the Minister is able to give the information will he state whether it is customary for representatives of the Australian Broadcasting Commission or other news media to be permitted to travel in Royal Australian Air Force aircraft during any search operations in which the RAAF is taking part? [More…]
If it is not, will the Minister institute inquiries to ascertain why and by whom the RAAF was instructed to take ABC representatives on RAAF aircraft of their choice during the search for the crew of the ill-fated ‘Blythe Star’? [More…]
Will he also inquire whether operational conversations between the RAAF crew and search and rescue headquarters were recorded by an ABC representative without the knowledge or permission of the captain of the aircraft? [More…]
The Australian Embassy in Santiago has been instructed to co-operate fully with the United Nations High Commissioner’s representative there in arrangements for implementing this policy. [More…]
Would he give to the committee power to move to bar from the Press gallery any representative of the media proved to be responsible for publishing untrue or biased reports of the Senate’s work? [More…]
Unless his representative in this chamber wants to answer it, I think the question should be placed on the notice paper. [More…]
When the Government announced its revaluation decision it accompanied the first announcement- Senator Wriedt being a representative of Tasmania and knowing the difficulty of the apple export cropwith an announcement that some revaluation compensation would be given. [More…]
What I am concerned about is whether, if someone cables back here and complains about something in the United Kingdom, under the change in our representation in Britain our representative there will deal direct with the British Home Office. [More…]
I sum up by asking the Minister When we get, as we will, problems concerning the rights of Australians going on to the British labour market in competition with people from the European Common Market countries and representations are made here about them, will Mr Grassby get in touch with our representative in England who will then take the matter up with the British Home Office? [More…]
In addition the student who qualifies for a living allowance will be entitled to an incidentals allowance to assist in meeting costs of fees, such as students representative council fees and union and sporting fees. [More…]
It was thought at the time that it was very desirable to have a woman representative on the interim council. [More…]
We are very proud that we will now have a truly representative voice of the Aboriginal people speaking to the Department and the Minister. [More…]
I address my question to the Attorney-General as the representative of the Prime Minister in this place. [More…]
As a representative of Victoria in the Senate I am not encouraged to the view that the demands of the centralist Government should override the possible rights of a State. [More…]
Personnel- One representative from: [More…]
All applications for loans out of the capital fund for Aboriginal enterprises are investigated at the present time by a committee which includes a representative of the Commonwealth Bank, I think Dr Coombs, and another member, and which makes recommendations. [More…]
This means that decisions of the Board may be taken without the knowledge of the executive chairman or the Government representative. [More…]
Senator Jessop, who has just resumed his seat, engaged in the normal sort of emotional thinking and expression of attitude towards the whole concept of this legislation which is representative of the attitude of the Liberal Party and the Australian Country Party. [More…]
I had asked the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland) as the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) a question on notice. [More…]
It was a report of an interview with a representative of the Lanrossi organisation in Italy with whom I had discussions a fortnight ago in Rome. [More…]
The enrolment of voters is going on right now across the nation and in November, in each of 41 electoral areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people will vote to elect one representative to come to Canberra to consult with and advise the Minister. [More…]
Smart, will comprise 3 scientists, 2 businessmen and a representative of the Council for Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
Therefore, Dr Bustard and one of the representatives of the Council for Aboriginal Affairs will remain and there will be other appointments to meet the requirements of the Smart report. [More…]
A young lady stated that she was the secretary of an Australian Labor Party member of the House of Representatives and that she was one of two previously unqualified persons who had been appointed by the Attorney-General to conduct marriages in future. [More…]
The young lady further said that she understood that she had been appointed to conduct marriages as a representative of the Labor Party. [More…]
Does he intend to appoint persons to conduct marriages as representatives of the Liberal Party of Australia, the Australian Country Party and the Australian Demoratic Labor Party? [More…]
The amendments would impose a Schools Commission of members representative of conflicting interests. [More…]
It is that the Commission, as proposed by the Opposition, would not be workable because it would be representative of conflicting interests. [More…]
An issue has been raised by 30 or 40 Press representatives of the Government that if we persist in opposing the kind of Commission that the Government wants we will stop the children of Australia from getting $S00m worth of aid. [More…]
I have been told by 2 Ministers and quite a number of Australian Labor Party parliamentarians that, if the Opposition ‘s proposal that each group should nominate its own representative is persisted with, all the Government has to do is use its power, without legislation, to nominate another Karmeltype committee, and all the money can be given without any trouble. [More…]
I have just spoken to a representative of the New South Wales Teachers Federation. [More…]
I said: ‘You know your own members best, but surely the Teachers Federation could be relied on to appoint a representative who is not quarrelsome and pettifogging, and this applies in le same way to the state school parents’. [More…]
I told him that I was surprised that the New South Wales Teachers Federation thought that these people were not fit to appoint their own representatives. [More…]
It should not be forgotten that every honourable senator in this chamber is as entitled to his place under our representative democratic system as is every member of the House of Representatives. [More…]
We were elected by the people, just as the members of the House of Representatives were elected by the people. [More…]
Mr President, you will recall that I asked one simple question that required only an answer of yes or no from the Minister, and I was forced to speak in the adjournment debate to try to get the answer but I could not get it from the Minister’s representative here, although he informed the Senate that he had tried to get the information. [More…]
Applications for finance are studied by a committee on which is a representative of the Reserve Bank of Australia. [More…]
We are concerned because in our opinion the Commission will not always be representative of all the interested bodies and groups associated with education. [More…]
All I, as the representative of the Government, need to say is that my colleagues join me in appreciating that the Australian people will now not be deprived of the Australian Schools Commission which, prior to the last Federal election, the Labor movement undertook to establish if and when we were elected to office. [More…]
Some medical man or representative of a hospital fund, speaking in a very highfalutin voice, said: ‘It is not on the chart; you have to pick up the tab for the difference.’ [More…]
No representative of the Australian Medical Association has dealt with it. [More…]
I don’t mean Catholic hospitals or private hospitals as a whole because the group I refer to is not, I believe, truly representative of private hospitals- seems to think that by applying pressure tactics they can screw more money out of the Government. [More…]
They were so representative of the hoi polloi of the Opposition parties that if they were around today the present members of the Opposition parties would genuflect in front of them. [More…]
Another step that I announced at the same time was the appointment of a widely representative committee to examine all aspects of legal aid in Australia. [More…]
The Chairman and the Executive Member will be full-time members, the Secretary, Department of Minerals and Energy will be a part-time member and there will be two other part-time members including a representative of the trade unions. [More…]
Therefore, whereas the other States each had one grower representative on the Apple and Pear Board for the last 5 years Tasmania has had three and, before that had more. [More…]
All those grower representatives were elected. [More…]
As the representative of the immovable object which has opposed itself to irresistable forces so often in this chamber, I offer you, Mr President, the sincere thanks of my Party for the manner in which you have conducted our affairs. [More…]
The aircraft Captain gave permission to a representative of the Australian Broadcasting Commission to record conversation between the aircraft and two fishing vessels in the search area. [More…]
Over 100 representatives from more than 30 countries attended the meeting in Melbourne. [More…]
It is understood, again from the information, that Mr Petovronov has attended a number of previous meetings of the Association as a representative of the USSR in countries outside of the USSR, including Mexico, Switzerland and France. [More…]
I direct a question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate in his capacity as representative of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. [More…]
There was some meeting which was attended in relation to intellectual property, as I recall it, and the gentleman in question was the representative- I think the president- of the national group from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic attending that meeting. [More…]
The information I had supplied to me was that he had been present at other meetings of this international body in France, Switzerland and Mexico as representative of that national group. [More…]
The Government is formed in the lower House and not in this place, although I am fast coming to the conclusion that on 2 December 1 972 all that happened was that government was transferred from the House of Representatives to the Senate. [More…]
If honourable senators opposite advocate votes for their candidates when they are in government on the basis that they should also have a majority in the Senate to be able to govern, why would they argue that the elections for the Senate and House of Representatives should not be held at the same time? [More…]
A representative of the Liberal Party did not raise any objection to the 2 elections being brought together, but both the Democratic Labor Party representative and the Country Party representative were violently opposed to the suggestion. [More…]
When the State Government stationed a representative in Townsville to look after this area, this was when things started to break down. [More…]
Last week in this very chamber we had a representative of the KGB, Lieutenant-General Evgeni Pitouranov, who had been invited to this country by a Government which keeps out girl guides from Rhodesia and boy scouts from South Africa but brings in men like Pitouranov a former General in the KGB. [More…]
After all, it has been a formality of the Parliament from the time we have had the Westminister system, devised and developed as it is today, that when the Monarch or her representative, the Governor-General, delivers a Speech at the opening of the Parliament there is an AddressinReply to that Speech. [More…]
We recognise that the Government will be able to refer to the representative of Her Majesty, the Governor-General, this proposition and seek the right to put it to the people in accordance with the Constitution. [More…]
Speaking as a representative of a State, the things which we should consider to be important are the reasons which the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Murphy) has given the Senate as the reasons we should not consider these propositions. [More…]
Far different is the case with the House of Representatives. [More…]
It is not a representative of the States; it is not a house of review. [More…]
It is the House of Representatives and of government. [More…]
It is essential in that system that if the Government is in a situation where it cannot command a majority in the lower House, the House of Representatives, the only way to get a responsible government is to send that House to the people. [More…]
We may therefore get a dissolution of the House of Representatives not merely upon the effluxion of its term but in a case where several parties in the House change their allegiance. [More…]
The Senate has grown in strength and become much more representative of the States and of the people. [More…]
When Federation was achieved and the 6 States came together, the 6 States said: ‘A condition on which we will come together is that there shall be a Senate- an Upper House- that it shall be a States House and that it shall be equally representative of all 6 States. [More…]
One can make a fetish of referring to the representative principle and to involving the community, but I am not one who believes that it is a fetish to refer to those things. [More…]
It did happen some 30 to 40 years ago that the House of Representatives went to an election only 7 months after an election had been held. [More…]
If the pattern were to be that senators were to have a term of office equal to only two House of Representative terms, one could find half the Senate being required to submit to an election whenever the House of Representatives was called to an election. [More…]
As Senator Wright indicated, the reasons why half the Senate would be called to an election would not be based upon the Senate’s performance or on any sound or established constitutional criteria, but simply as a reaction to, an inevitable result of, what was happening internally within the House of Representatives. [More…]
It would make the Senate a replica of the House of Representatives, being dragged along to do whatever was required in the House of Representatives. [More…]
I take as my authority the New South Wales representative on the Australian Council of Local Government Associations, which is the national body concerned with the affairs of local government in this country. [More…]
It consists of a representative of each of the State branches of the local government associations. [More…]
The representative of the Democratic Labour Party, who will be putting himself to the people in a month or so, in response to my statement that the Government had the right to go to the people to seek the people’s views on whether they wanted the Constitution changed, said: ‘You know you do not have that right at all’. [More…]
I attended the meeting and there was a representative from Queensland there. [More…]
The purpose of the Constitution Alteration (Democratic Elections) Bill is to ensure that the members of the House of Representatives and of the parliaments of the States are chosen directly and democratically by the people. [More…]
If the Government imposes these 2 principles on the people of the Commonwealth, then that is the end of representative and democratic government as we have known it. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Repatriation whether his attention has been drawn to recent statements in the Press by the representative of an ex-service action group claiming that the Government was pension cutting as a money saving device and alleging that all was not well in the Repatriation Department. [More…]
However, as a representative of Queensland I will be fighting to the bitter end to preserve the sovereignty, rights and powers of Queensland. [More…]
The Convention is representative of the Commonwealth Parliament and the Commonwealth Government, the State parliaments and State governments, and local government authorities, lt is representative of the whole political spectrum in this country. [More…]
As I have said, it is the first convention of that representative character to be held for many years. [More…]
I appreciate that Senator Douglas McClelland, who I imagine will be handling the Bill in this chamber as the representative of the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden), is not master of when the measure goes through the House of Representatives. [More…]
I gather from what I have been told that he was not even aware of when the Bill was to be introduced into the House of Representatives. [More…]
The point I make is simply that the Government has control of the legislative program and it ought to be able to manage the affairs of the Parliament so that if assurances are given in one chamber the representatives of the Government in the other chamber will be able to adhere to a program. [More…]
There never has been any doubt about the Government’s ability in the House of Representatives to guillotine measures through, to gag measures through and to insist upon a rigid timetable. [More…]
Then this most learned judge made an observation which ought to be read by every representative in this chamber if he is to consider not some theoretical policy objective of legal beings in the Federal Crown Law Office or Attorney-General ‘s Department but the interests of the people as potential litigants. [More…]
The intrusion of the centralist government from Canberra into this area of activity, as is portrayed by the Petroleum and Minerals Authority Bill gives me, as a State ‘s representative and my State of South Australia and no doubt the Labor Premier of South Australia, some reason for concern. [More…]
In other words, a representative of his union- [More…]
I say that the Government stands condemned for its irresponsible action in handling the situation at Forrest Place, and for failing to send a representative to attend the Subiaco meeting. [More…]
The Australian Tourist Commission Act 1967-1973 provides that the Commission shall consist of 5 voting and 2 nonvoting members, the 2 non-voting representatives being persons nominated by the governments of the States and who serve on the Commission on a rotating basis. [More…]
It is the Government’s 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…]
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…]
I doubt that it will be longer than 24 hours but there is no fun in this defence statement presented in this chamber by the Minister for Repatriation (Senator Bishop) as the representative of the Minister of Defence (Mr Barnard). [More…]
That surely is what representative democracy is essentially concerned with. [More…]
I think Senator Drake-Brockman is a very worthy representative of the interests which he represents. [More…]
There is not much doubt that their Leader is so stodgy and so unappealing that a man who is thought to have more appeal- the representative of Gunns’ Gully. [More…]
I feel it necessary for me to do so now because of the statements that have been made by the representative of the Democratic Labor Party, Senator Byrne. [More…]
When he came back, that representative of a rump group suggested that something should be done. [More…]
The fact remains that when this disaster struck, a meeting of representatives of the Australian Labor Party in Queensland was organised very quickly and the respective areas were allocated to all members to do work of a humane nature. [More…]
But traditionally these points have been raised as a legitimate form of debate, superimposed on the paying of courtesies to the representative of the monarch of, and in, Australia. [More…]
The second thing to notice is that when the Senate takes the course of rejecting a Bill, including a money Bill, and after an interval of 3 months repeating that rejection, the course that is taken is not to send the House of Representative alone to the country. [More…]
The Constitution provides that the Senate, as well as the House of Representatives, shall be dissolved. [More…]
-My question is directed to the Leader of the Government as the representative of the Prime Minister in the Senate. [More…]
I think it is fair to place on record the distinguished service that he has rendered to this country and at the same time to welcome and to extend our congratulations and best wishes to the Queen’s representative who succeeds him. [More…]
I would have thought that any person in that situation would feel that, no matter how impressive were the words used by the Queen’s representative, the burdens being assumed by the Government were almost insuperable. [More…]
I am here as the representative of a Party which is expanding. [More…]
This is a desirable attribute in a representative type of government. [More…]
It allows electors to be able to identify themselves with their members of Parliament, and it allows the representative himself to have a proper understanding of his electorate’s demands and needs. [More…]
This rapport between parliamentary representatives and their electors will be lost if we are to start having redistributions before each election or random redistributions held whenever a politca party thinks one necessary for its own advantage. [More…]
No distribution should permit a situation where a Party or coalition of Parties which secures a majority of votes does not secure a majority of members of the House of Representatives. [More…]
To permit otherwise would be to perpetrate a travesty of representative government. [More…]
We submit that the present electoral legislation carries out the intent of Mr Whitlam ‘s statement and contend that the proposed legislation would, in Mr Whitlam’s words, ‘perpetrate a travesty of representative government. ‘ [More…]
I have already told the Senate in previous debates on this matter that a 20 per cent variation in electoral enrolments either side of the quota has been accepted by all governments since Federation in the interests of truly representative government. [More…]
I believe that that principle presupposes that as far as practicable each vote cast to elect members to any representative assembly, whether it be national, State or municipal, must be equal in value to the vote of any other citizen. [More…]
Wesberry clearly established that the fundamental principle of representative government in this country is one of equal representation for equal numbers of people without regard to race, sex, economic status, or place or residence within a State. [More…]
The Opposition is depriving those who live thousands of” miles from this place of the right to have a representative stand up here and put forward a case on their behalf. [More…]
Mr Forrest, the representative of the Darwin Chamber of Commerce, was also in favour of Senate representation for the Territory. [More…]
It is amazing that the Government should suggest that 2 representatives of the Northern Territory come into this chamber while there is only one representative from the Northern Territory in the House of Representatives. [More…]
Normally there would be two in the House of Representatives to one in this chamber. [More…]
It is interesting to note that it was a government of our persuasion which legislated to give the member for the Northern Territory full voting rights in the House of Representatives. [More…]
This move was prevented by the then member for the Northern Territory, a Labor representative, who got support from our side of the House of Representatives. [More…]
It was our side of the House of Representatives which in 1959, 1966 and 1968 gradually upgraded the voting power of the member for the Northern Territory and the member for the Australian Capital Territory to the full status of all other members. [More…]
I think it would be extremely wrong, in cases where money is being appropriated by the Government of Australia to a Territory which is receiving very beneficial treatment, for that Territory’s representative in this place to have the balance of power. [More…]
Surely it is only a matter of time before the Parliament will come to the conclusion, more rationally than it appears to be doing on this occasion, that these Territories are entitled to be represented in this place, as they are represented in the House of Representatives. [More…]
I draw to the attention of honourable senators the fact that it was not so many years ago that the representative for the Australian Capital Territory and the representative for the Northern Territory had limited rights even in the House of Representatives, but as the evolution has taken place those representatives have been recognised as full members of the Parliament and are now able to exercise their rights on all matters that come before the Parliament. [More…]
They talked about the need to have more equitable redistributions in the House of Representatives electorates. [More…]
Now they are rejecting the view of the representative of that area, Mr Calder, that the time has arrived for the Senate to have a representative from that region. [More…]
Let us consider the present ratio of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate to the electoral population. [More…]
On that average, the Australian Capital Territory with 101,757 voters would be entitled to 2.4 representatives, and not four. [More…]
The Northern Territory would be entitled to one representative, not three. [More…]
The people in the States convincingly rejected the Government’s referendum proposal for election of senators at the same time as members of the House of Representatives. [More…]
In fact, these tactics have led to a division in the ranks that became apparent during yesterday’s debate when the representative of one section of the Liberal Party in South Australia attacked representatives of the other section of the Liberal Party in South Australia, much to my enjoyment and amusement. [More…]
It is pleasing to see the development of the Northern Territory and that this Government has decided to give it representative government. [More…]
If this legislation is passed the result of the Senate election for the Northern Territory will without any doubt be that the other side of this place will get one representative and this side of the House will get the other. [More…]
After all, we could not even win the Northern Territory seat in the House of Representatives. [More…]
I do not think that representative Calder- and I would say the same thing if a member of the Labor Party held the seat of the Northern Territory- can do the job properly. [More…]
Therefore, this committee was composed only of members of the House of Representatives. [More…]
I do not doubt that people from the Northern Territory will say that they have one representative on this committee and that all the other members of the committee come from the south which could be changed by two Northern Territory senators. [More…]
Senator Webster may ask me: ‘What are the virtues of representative Calder?’ [More…]
Irrespective of the virtues of representative Calder- in Senator Webster’s mind they may be superior to anybody else’s- I think that the job is beyond him. [More…]
This has happened despite the words that have been spoken to honourable senators opposite not only by the representatives of my Party but also by the representative, formerly of their own party in South Australia, now of the Liberal Movement, about their tactics and their foolish refusal to recognise that the people do not accept tactics. [More…]
Unlike our founding fathers who were concerned to establish the Senate as the Federal part of the Parliament- ‘the organ of the States, the visible representative of the continuity, independence, and reserved autonomy of the States, linking them together as integral parts of the Federal Union’- the present Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam leaves no doubt that, as one honourable member of another place expressed recently, he ‘is hell-bent on completely abolishing the States themselves’. [More…]
I would like him to ponder just one point: From the State of Tasmania which he represents so vociferously, we have in this Parliament 1 5 representatives, counting the ten in the Senate and the five in the other place, for 240,000 voters. [More…]
For the Northern Territory we have in the Parliament one representative for 30,000 voters. [More…]
Let us remember the only point that I really rose to make: It does not strike me as being a great defence of democracy to suggest that one representative is enough for 30,000 voters in a territory and that 15 representatives are appropriate for the State from which one happens to come. [More…]
Given half a chance they will be out with the Australian public, even though the representative of the AMA who is sitting bleakly alone behind the Opposition wags his head and laughs. [More…]
Is the Minister able to give any information as to why the Government has chosen to give financial support of the type he outlined for the observance of International Women’s Year without giving the traditional grant for administrative assistance to the voluntary committee representative of women’s organisations which was established through the United Nations Organisation to celebrate International Women’s Year in Australia? [More…]
It is the right of the miners in this case, having regard to the promises made to them by their local Federal representative, the Minister for Defence, who was then the Deputy Prime Minister, to get a decision on the matter. [More…]
The point that I was making was that the Government had lost the goodwill of the medical profession and of the private hospitals and that all national representative bodies of the medical profession were implacably opposed to the proposed legislation. [More…]
There has never been the same sort of clamour that the representative bodies of the medical profession should provide the same facilities for their members. [More…]
We will see how representative they are of the majority of doctors. [More…]
My plain duty in such circumstances, as it appears to me, acting, not as the representative of His Majesty the King as a constituent part of the Commonwealth Parliament, but as the designated executant of a statutory power created and conferred by the whole Parliament, is simply to adhere to the normal principles of responsible government by following the advice of the Ministers who are constitutionally assigned to me for the time being as my advisers, and who must take the responsibility of that advice. [More…]
If, as you request me to do, I should reject their advice, supported as it is by the considered opinion of the House of Representatives, and should act upon the equally considered contrary opinion of the Senate, my conduct would, 1 fear, even on ordinary constitutional grounds, amount to an open personal preference of one House against the other- in other words, an act of partisanship. [More…]
I think such matters should be reported at the time so that our representative can take up the matter with the Bank. [More…]
On Tuesday night we heard the Minister for Agriculture (Senator Wriedt), who is the representative of the Treasurer (Mr Crean), say it is a dangerous inflationary situation. [More…]
I would think that everyone would be willing this afternoon to face his .or her responsibility as a representative of his or her State. [More…]
The Tribunal says that it had discussions with 26 members of the Parliament, including 5 Ministers and 11 office holders, 12 First Division officers, 18 holders of statutory offices, a representative of the Administrative and Clerical Officers Association and one member of the public. [More…]
If the Government really wants this proposed Joint Committee, for goodness sake let it be truly joint and truly representative of the Parliament. [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 Bairnsvale about thirty to forty people attended including the local newspaper representative, who wrote a story about it. [More…]
This is quite inconsistent with what Senator Cotton, a former representative in this place of a Postmaster-General, argued in 1967, namely that the Government ought to provide the moneys and that the Parliament ought to allow those moneys to go through to make sure that the Post Office could work effectively. [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 have 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 Austraiian 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…]
I put it to the Parliament that the Government cannot have it both ways, lt 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…]
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…]
This meeting will give him an opportunity to express his wish in front of a group of people who I think honourable senators will agree are a fairly representative group. [More…]
But is it suggested that the man is in such a psychotic condition that after having been tested to determine whether he had been drugged and it was found that he has not been drugged, and after having present a Liberal Party member of Parliament, a right wing union official, a left wing union official and a representative of the Australian Journalists Association he is still unable to answer the question? [More…]
I spoke in the lobbies of this place yesterday afternoon with a leading representative of a quite large Australian manufacturing company which I will not name. [More…]
I am informed that the Security Council is in active session at present- that is, a.m. our time- and the Australian permanent representative, Sir Laurence Mclntyre, has been instructed to support resolutions insisting on the full implementation of all the recent resolutions on Cyprus by the Security Council, that those resolutions be respected by all parties and that there be an immediate and strict observance of the ceasefire. [More…]
The Australian permanent representative also has been instructed to support a new resolution which would record the Security Council’s formal disapproval of the resumption of military operations in Cyprus by the Turkish Government and calls on the parties to resume negotiations without delay. [More…]
Australia’s position was made clear, for example, at the Diplomatic Conference on International Humanitarian Law, when our representative in a statement accompanying his vote regretted on behalf of the Government that the question before the conference had been posed as a choice between participation as a state and non-participation. [More…]
Those of us who have had experience in local government believe that being a local government representative is good training and I think we have a sense of being close to the people. [More…]
-As a representative of Victoria I likewise support this and other amendments in the same vein because they are designed not only to remove this curious requirement for 2 Ministers to agree but also to write into the legislation the requirement that there should be consultation with the States and the appropriate State Ministers. [More…]
b) that the State shall, if requested by the Minister 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 to the State Government in connection with the provision or maintenance of roads in the State; [More…]
that the State shall, if requested by the Minister to do so, arrange for a representative or representatives of the Australian Government nominated by the Minister to take part in the deliberations of a body specified by the Minister, being a body established, whether before or after the commencement of this Act and whether by reason of a request under paragraph (b) or otherwise, by the State to carry out planning, and furnish advice, in connection with the provision or maintenance of roads in the State; [More…]
But the fact of the matter is that in relation to this Bill the Opposition in the Senate has acted entirely in accordance with its role as a House of Review and as a House which is representative of the interests of State governments and local authorities in this nation. [More…]
As I said, the House of Representatives has accepted broadly our amendments except in respect of one matter only. [More…]
The Minister for Transport in the House of Representatives explained that the only reason he wishes to have that power is that he wishes to be able to control the construction of freeways in the cities of Australia. [More…]
I would like to exclude from my comments any reflections on the representative of the Minister for Transport in the Senate, the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Senator Cavanagh). [More…]
Accordingly, with the co-operation of the Soviet Embassy, Georgi was interviewed a number of times and on successive days without any other Russian present- first, by the representative of the Foreign Affairs Department and the Chief Immigration Officer in Perth, then by Mr Gilchrist, the Head of the Legal Division of my Department whom I sent from Canberra expressly for the purpose, then by Mr Cowles, the representative of the Transport Workers Union, Mr Bluck of the Musicians Union and Mr Michael Edgley, the well-known West Australian businessman, who speaks Russian well, then by Mr Tonkin, the former Labor Premier of Western Australia, whom I had asked to intervene, and Mr Harding of the Federated Clerks Union and finally at length by a number of journalists on television yesterday evening. [More…]
A representative of the Australian Government attended that hearing and represented Senator Willesee by proxy. [More…]
The wider the interest of union membership in the affairs of a union and the greater the encouragement which legislation can give to a wider participation by union members in the affairs of that union, the more democratic will be that union, the more representative will be the management of that union and the more responsible in the national interest will be the conduct of the affairs of that union. [More…]
If the conciliation and arbitration system- which, by its very structure and its very Act, depends on the representative organisation of bodies of employers and employees- is to survive with any sort of viable future, having regard to the public benefit which is envisaged by the system, then there is the need for flexibility which will reduce conflict. [More…]
We will go back to what ought to happen in Australiato what are, in fact, representative associations. [More…]
As I have said, we are trying to get more representative associations and to make unions free of all those inhibiting factors which have been placed upon them by Liberal-Country Party governments. [More…]
Whilst we in the Liberal Party Opposition may have felt that, after all, we had 21 senators and the other two parties had only 10 yet we had one representative and they had two, we went along with that for a number of reasons, some of which are quite understandable to honourable senators opposite and most of which are quite well known to the honourable senators who sit behind me. [More…]
If, however, the Government feels as it may now that Senator Hall ought to be represented I put it to the Government that what it ought to do is to have 2 representatives from the Australian Labor Party and Senator Hall could take the place of their third representative. [More…]
I ask the Government to be generous and let Senator Hall take the place of one of its representatives at the Convention. [More…]
Of course, if the Government feels that that is not right, it could be generous and let us have 7 senators and 9 members of the House of Representatives attend the Convention. [More…]
Let the Government surrender 1 member from the House of Representatives in order to let Senator Hall be a representative. [More…]
I link this matter with that which is being debated by the Senate on the basis that the Opposition, whilst maintaining an attitude of hostility towards Senator Hall, reflected in its opposition to his being a representative of this chamber at the Constitutional Convention, nevertheless seeks to embrace within its own ranks a person who has masqueraded for far too long as an Independent. [More…]
Despite what the Opposition said, it was obviously endeavouring to exclude Senator Hall as a representative of this Senate at the Constitutional Convention. [More…]
I drew a distinction between the Opposition’s attitude in that respect, that is, to Senator Hall as a representative of a political group that could be fairly said to be independent of both the Government and the Liberal-Country Party Opposition, and the Opposition’s attitude in embracing a person with the record of masquerading that Senator Townley has acquired over the years. [More…]
If the Opposition is touchy about this matter, and since Senator Townley has not seen fit to be present in the chamber during any of the time that this matter has been under debate, I will not labour the matter any further except to say that I am convinced that the majority of Tasmanian electors are quite certain that they have as a representative in Canberra in Senator Townley a person who flies under false colours. [More…]
That is, it seeks to appoint 3 representatives of the Government and 3 representatives of those who constitute the membership of the other side of the Senate. [More…]
Therefore, I think it is fair to say that the Government is acting properly in suggesting that the representative to take the place of Senator Gair should be a representative of the independent senators in this chamber. [More…]
It seems to be quite unrepresentative of Australia. [More…]
It is too late now to undo what has been done, but I think that the only solution lies in making Canberra a more representative city by making it a city of industry as well as a city of government. [More…]
It is representative of the industry and the public and has been examining a wide range of important matters. [More…]
This process of consultation is continuing at the present time through the work of the Interim Board of the Australian Film Commission and through such activities as the symposium arranged by my Department on 21 July to discuss, with a widely representative group, the question of overseas participation in film and television program production in Australia. [More…]
The expressions of sympathy that were conveyed at that State ceremony yesterday to Lady Harrison and her family, and the widely representative groups that attended to convey their respects to the memory of the man who had passed away, made it a very moving occasion for us all. [More…]
Has such approval been given by the Prime Minister or his representative? [More…]
It said that the Board should comprise 3 scientists, 2 businessmen and one representative from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
My proposal was that the Board be comprised of 3 scientists, 2 businessmen and one representative from my Department. [More…]
It was recommended that another marketing organisation should be established to comprise a representative from each of the Torres Strait Island co-operatives. [More…]
Will the Australian Broadcasting Control Board be the authority to ensure that objective, balanced standards are maintained in the establishment of new radio services or does the Minister plan to establish another representative body to perform that function? [More…]
But, Sir, I have a great deal of worry about you as the representative of the Senate, the elected leader of the Senate and the President of the Senate. [More…]
The Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) or his representative had been invited to that meeting; so too had been the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Snedden) or his representative, and other members of Parliament. [More…]
He was saying that neither the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) nor his representatives attended the meeting but he attended in the capacity of representative of the Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
In an explanation of vote, the Australian representative expressed doubts about departure from the established practice of keeping debates in plenary session to representatives of the member states of the United Nations. [More…]
He added that if a representative of the PLO had addressed one of those committees he would have been listened to just as closely, whether or not he was speaking for the whole of the Palestinian Arab Liberation Movement and whatever views we may have about some of the methods of that Movement. [More…]
In the same explanation our representative also stated that there can be no permanent and just settlement in the Middle East which takes account of all the provisions of Security Council resolution 242 until the Palestinians can be assured of fair treatment, permanent homes and secure hopes for the future. [More…]
In conclusion our representative explained that Australia was also unable to support the resolution because we were not convinced that it would assist the delicate process of negotiation towards a lasting Middle East settlement. [More…]
I am referring to this matter in the absence of my colleague Senator Wright who is at present attending the United Nations as the representative of this chamber. [More…]
The Government’s claim is based upon a manipulation of figures and is in no way representative of the facts. [More…]
Has the Minister noted the statement by a representative of motor car dealers in South Australia in which he said that if these cars could not be landed at Port Adelaide the companies would be brought to a standstill within a few weeks? [More…]
This representative stated that his company’s 2 branches would quickly run out of stock and this would affect the jobs of between 130 and 140 employees. [More…]
Those amendments permit an employee organisation to enrol persons engaged in occupations akin to those of employees provided the organisation remains effectively representative of employees in or in connection with the industry concerned. [More…]
The people of the Northern Territory will join then with the rest of Australia in electing a government which is representative of the Party to which I belong. [More…]
The responsibility for the issue of a certificate that it is impracticable or inexpedient to obtain the prescribed number of representative quotations or publicly invite tenders rests finally with him. [More…]
The grounds upon which a dispensation is sought from the requirement either to obtain representative quotations or publicly invite tenders shall be clearly stated in writing by the recommending officer and contracts shall not be signed or orders placed until a certificate of inexpediency is given. [More…]
If a situation arises where the obtaining of representative quotations or the public invitation of tenders is considered impracticable or inexpedient in the case of particular supplies, and the department has no person authorised to issue certificates of inexpediency, application may be made for the issue of a certificate to the Chief Executive Office, Australian Government Stores and Tender Board, 199 William Street, Melbourne.’ [More…]
We think it is also encumbent upon the Postmaster-General, again in his representative capacity, to indicate what is the attitude of the unions. [More…]
The federal secretary of the organisation sent his representative to New South Wales to set up a branch of the organisation to replace the defunct branch which the officials of the State body had believed to be the same as the State body over all these years. [More…]
I am informed by the Minister that they indicated their support for the proposition that a Bill should be introduced- apart from the representative of Queensland who, not surprisingly and very consistently, dissented from the general unanimity of the gathering on the ground that he could not understand the propositions. [More…]
In relation to some of the more scurrilous remarks that seemed to flow around the chamber there has been the appointment of a representative from the House of Representatives to speak on behalf of Tasmania in that chamber; no more and no less. [More…]
It is one of the misfortunes of Tasmania that it does not have a Liberal representative in the House of Representatives, a misfortune which is becoming more and more manifest as every day goes by. [More…]
Is it a fact that when the Constitution Convention was held in 1973 there were 8 Government representatives and 8 representatives agreed to between Opposition parties? [More…]
Was there included in the 8 Opposition representatives representation’ from the Australian Democratic Labor Party? [More…]
Are we to assume from this arrangement that Senator Greenwood was prepared to accept a representative of the DLP as being entitled to be in attendance at the Constitutional Convention but is not prepared to give like representation to Senator Hall, who is a selfprofessed Liberal? [More…]
-The Council was formed at my instigation so that I would have a body of farmers representative of all sections of agriculture in Australia and it is so representative. [More…]
Has the Australian Government decided to direct its United Nations representative to support such a motion? [More…]
We want created an ongoing body which will not wait 1 5 years for the alteration of divorce legislation but will be able to act of its own volition, will be well representative of interested organisations, to pursue the need for law reform as it constantly sees it and be able to make recommendations to the Parliament. [More…]
Has the Australian Government directed its United Nations representative to support such a measure? [More…]
We know that the Minister indicated in the Senate today that the Australian Government has directed its United Nations representative to vote in favour of the resolution. [More…]
We have a Minister and a Government directing our representative to vote for the exclusion of South Africa from the United Nations on apartheid grounds. [More…]
Did he alert the Press that he had been wrong when he said that this council which the Labor Party has set up was not representative of the Aboriginal people? [More…]
You are alleged to have said that the Aboriginal council is not representative of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
The Aboriginal black apartheid council which this Labor Party has set up is apparently not representative of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
Let me turn to the question of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee and the suggestion that I said that it is not representative of Aboriginal people. [More…]
It was put aside, much to the disgust of the Attorney-General (Senator Murphy) at the time, but when he brought the Bill back into the Senate he, as representative of the Government, had 109 amendments to it. [More…]
Another point which is made in the editorial is that Opposition senators knew better than the Government and used their numbers to reject Mr Whitlam ‘s arrangement of a 16-member party simply because Senator Hall was included as an Opposition representative. [More…]
The Government knew, as proved to be the fact, that the Opposition would not accept that the Government should nominate who should be one of the Opposition’s representatives, particularly when the representative it nominated was not a member of the Opposition. [More…]
As far as the Senate was concerned there would be 3 government senators and there would be a representative of the Liberal Party, the Australian Country Party and the Democratic Labor Party. [More…]
The appointments were made by resolutions of the House of Representatives and the Senate on 3 1 May 1973 and the fact that they were each agreed to, without debate, indicates the consensus which had been arrived at. [More…]
It should not be forgotten that the Democratic Labor Party was a Party of 5 senators established in the Senate for approximately 15 years whose individual representatives had polled approximately 1 8 per cent of the vote in each of 2 States and whose national vote approximated 10 per cent. [More…]
Senator Hall, as the representative of the Liberal Movement, was unable to secure nationally one per cent of the votes. [More…]
The South Australian Parliament has given to his Liberal Movement a representative at the Constitutional Convention. [More…]
South Australia as being a completely reactionary group which has lost the confidence of the South Australian community, so much so that of the 8 House of Representatives seats for the metropolitan area of Adelaide the Liberal Party holds but two. [More…]
There are very few Liberals there but they give the type of representation which repels the general community and enables my political opponent to win three-quarters of all metropolitan Adelaide seats in the House of Representatives and, coincidentally, in the State House of Assembly. [More…]
I may be yet but one representative of the Liberal Movement, but may I in a sense encourage Senator Greenwood ‘s remarks and attitudes tonight because he is certainly hastening the day when I am joined by others. [More…]
-Can the Minister for Foreign Affairs inform the Senate whether the direction of the Australian socialist Labor Government to its representative at the United Nations to vote for the expulsion of South Africa from that body has been exercised as at this date? [More…]

I know that Senator Greenwood does not like the thought that they do but they are there and I can assure him that we will not exclude trade unions from the operation of this plan in the same way as we will not exclude Rotary Clubs, employers’ organisations or any other group which is representative of citizens in the community. [More…]
Although there might be confrontations on some other matters in the political sphere, the industrial sphere or for that matter in the religious sphere, although there might be disagreements between Methodists and Catholics, or the Chamber of Commerce and the AMWU, we are endeavouring to bring them all together within these little communities as representative bodies in that group in order to work together.

I believe, Mr President, you would agree in your position, if I am speaking about an official who is an official representative of the Australian Government- I am not speaking about the Minister, I am speaking about an official- that, if there is a reference of criticism of a Minister because he has not taken action, that is a reasonable proposition.

I rise to support the motion for the second reading of the Family Law BUI not because I happen to be a member of a political party or a representative of a political party in this place but because of how in my lifetime I have come to understand human relationships and the need for marriage and divorce to be dealt with in such a way as to remove the areas of unhappiness, frustration and indignity which have been a characteristic of such human relationships in time. [More…]
As a representative of a State that has had a great deal of pride in its home building programs in the past I should like to speak for a short while to this Bill. [More…]

[More…]
This Committee stressed that the selection of areas for reservation should be based on objective scientific criteria which allow for representative ecosystems, protection of threatened species, and the recreation needs of urban populations. [More…]

[More…]

Any attempt by the Opposition to increase this formal representation may, in effect, be interpreted as indicating doubts that these members of the Commission are fully representative of the people of Darwin. [More…]

All of those 3 gentlemen cannot be the 2 representatives as proposed by the Opposition. [More…]
The Opposition wants to delete one of those representatives for the purpose of controlling the Commission. [More…]
The Opposition wants to replace the representatives we propose with representatives made up of local residents. [More…]
Their whole activity through their representative bodies- the Legislative Assembly and the Citizens’ Council- is to put impediments in the way of progressing with the building of Darwin. [More…]
On no account could we agree to the proposal with which the Opposition has come forward of stacking the Commission, or having another representative on it from the Legislative Assembly, another hand-picked representative from the Citizens’ Commission to defeat the aims of this Government to rebuild the city. [More…]
If any honourable senator in this place is in any doubt as to who the representative from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly will be he obviously has been hiding because it is well known. [More…]

But if we so democratise it that we undermine the effective workings of unions we will create a chaotic situation just as we would do if instead of having the representative lawmaking establishment like the House of Representatives and the Senate we tried in some way to have a voice of the people on the occasion of every measure which came up for decision. [More…]

There is a great deal I would like to put to you personally (or a high representative of yourself) concerning my grandson’s situation. [More…]
The matters which you have raised should, I think, be referred to your grandson’s legal representative. [More…]
I would not judge whether the legal representative did his job or not, but I am prepared to refer Senator Bonner’s allegations to the Law Society of Queensland to investigate whether the legal representative did his job. [More…]
If Senator Bonner can convince me that the legal representative did not do his job and if he suggests that that is a reason why we should not fund his legal service in Queensland - [More…]
If he had read the second reading speech of the Postmaster-General (Senator Bishop) he would have seen that one of these part-time commissioners will be a representative of the trade union movement. [More…]
A question was raised about the trade union representative. [More…]
Yes, I am sure that the trade union representative will be a person who will reflect the views of all workers in the industry, not only the mechanical staff, the operating staff and the fettlers. [More…]

[More…]
How chill one feels when one reflects on the fact that this Bill of 284 clauses and 234 pages was gagged through the House of Representatives, where the Government used its numbers most arbitrarily, in the short space of 4 hours and 1 1 minutes. [More…]
I ask: By what intelligence can the AttorneyGeneral (Mr Enderby), who introduced the Bill into the other place and who might have read it long before his representative in this chamber, the Minister for Manufacturing Industry (Senator James McClelland), who has confessed to us that he had not read it before 13 March, claim credit for even enunciating the principles of this Bill and having a debate by no fewer than 127 members lasting only 4 hours and 1 1 minutes? [More…]
The effect on me as a Senate representative on the Joint Committee has been to compromise me to the extent that it would be quite impossible for me and quite probably unacceptable to the public were I to do other than recommend the establishment of a register of interests and in agreement with what the editor and the journalist had advocated in public evidence to the Committee. [More…]
In such circumstances I therefore made the decision to resign as a Senate representative on that Joint Committee. [More…]
Further, I can tell the honourable senator, just mentioning some names I have in my head, that I had discussions with the Australian Broadcasting Commission, the Australian Broadcasting Control Board, the Chairman of the Public Service Board, and the media unions’ representative on the Australian Council of Trade Unions.

[More…]
I hope that Senator Brown will pursue his inquiries in due course and endeavour to find out from the Minister representing the Attorney-General whether Mr Wechsler was a representative of or employed by ASIO. [More…]

Mr Ray Atkinson, United Kingdom/Europe representative of Film Australia, shortly to be incorporated in the Australian Film Commission [More…]

[More…]
I think that anybody who has listened closely to this debate on the very cables and letters themselves must conclude that you have to go in for more hair-splitting and pettifogging that you usually expect from even lawyers like Senator Greenwood in order to find a meaning in the conduct of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) or of his representative in this place in relation to this matter in order to give the words the meaning which the Opposition seeks to attribute to them. [More…]
The evidence proves overwhelmingly that the Australian representative went cap in hand, every day knocking on the door of the Vietnamese President, in effect saying: ‘Won’t you ask us to send you some troops?’ [More…]

The fact is that all sorts of suggestions are being made to the effect that the Queen herself was most displeased at the way in which her representative in Australia, the Governor-General, acted in the circumstances at the end of last year. [More…]
As the elected representative of this Territory, I must fight against the developments to which I have just referred. [More…]
In 1961, a long while after his early days, his hungry years, the New South Wales Labor Government was appointing an employee’s representative to the Metropolitan Meat Commission. [More…]
There was nothing unusual about that because on that Commission was a representative of the employers. [More…]
Government as the employees representative on the Metropolitan Meat Industry Board, having been nominated for the position by the N.S.W. [More…]
During his period as the employees representative on the Metropolitan Meat Industry Board he made his voice heard on behalf of the workers represented and on many occasions his advice was accepted by the other members of the Board. [More…]
The title, employees representative was misleading because the set up of the Board made each member responsible for the economic running and operation of the abattoirs, thus, he was not responsible only to represent the employees. [More…]
There was, of course, no hindrance to the visit of the United Nations Special Representative to Dili, Baucau and other centres in the control of the Provisional Government of East Timor. [More…]
It is the Government’s understanding that the Indonesian Foreign Minister also informed the United Nations Special Representative that Indonesia had no objections to his proceeding to Fretilin-held areas of Timor but that the areas the mission wished to visit were either held by the Provisional Government of East Timor, or were being contested. [More…]
There was a report on 3 February that the PGET had threatened to obstruct any aircraft or warship approaching East Timor but a subsequent statement issued by the authorities in Dili on 4 February stated their agreement to the United Nations Special Representative’s planned visit to Fretilin areas under certain conditions, including the notification of landing zones and the use of UN insignia, etc. [More…]
On 8 February the Indonesian authorities conveyed to the United Nations Special Representative a further message to the effect that the Dili authorities were agreeable to the Special Representative’s visiting all the locations identified by the Fretilin spokesman. [More…]
The situation at the lime of the departure of the United Nations Special Representative from Australia, therefore, was that the Provisional Government of East Timor was inviting the Special Representative to renew his visit to the territory, including to the four locations earlier suggested by Fretilin, while Fretilin was unable to identify a secure venue in East Timor for a meeting. [More…]
The United Nations Special Representative himself concluded that in default of the necessary guarantees of safety he had no alternative but to suspend his efforts to proceed to Fretilin areas. [More…]
I say, as a representative of a small State and therefore not as a centralist in an ideological form, that the real question is one of too much government, wherever it is, not just in Canberra but at State level and at local government level. [More…]
Under the Australian system of universal suffrage and triennial Parliaments, with a legally recognised and responsible Cabinet, it must, in my opinion, follow that so long as a Premier commands a majority in the Lower House, and so long as he is guilty of no illegal conduct which would evoke the exercise of the Royal Prerogative, he must be regarded as the competent and continuing adviser of the representative of the Crown. [More…]
It is in fact representative of the expenditure that has occurred. [More…]
I have also found it rather strange to see the Minister for Industry and Commerce (Senator Cotton), who is the representative in this chamber of the Treasurer (Mr Lynch), including in his second reading speech such gems of wisdom as the following statement: [More…]
If Senator Ryan decides to visit this area, as a vigorous representative of the Australian Capital Territory, I hope that in the line of the Withers assurance- I call it the Withers doctrine- on this occasion we will have a helicopter. [More…]
If the honourable senator looks at an answer which was given by the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations in the House of Representatives yesterday to a question of the same character he will see that the Minister indicated that the matter is giving him great concern, that it is currently under investigation and that, in particular, members of the Clerks Union are not members of the Public Service and therefore comprehended within the provisions which he has in mind. [More…]
I think he will find in it far more information than I am able to give him in a representative capacity today. [More…]
These provide that the nomination by a member of the Loan Council of a substitute Minister as his representative will now include any person acting in that capacity for the time being, and that decisions by the Loan Council on the amount and allocation of government loan programs can now be made by correspondence without the necessity to hold a formal meeting to endorse the decision. [More…]
I refer to a contribution made by a gentleman who presumes to be the representative of Townsville South. [More…]
Perhaps that was his major qualification for being appointed as the Western Australian representative on the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
I think they reinforce Senator Bonner’s comments about that parliamentary representative. [More…]

The Indian representative denounced the colonial denudation of the East and the vulgar affluence of the West. [More…]
The Chinese representative declared that population control was their wrecking device. [More…]

The Senate would be aware that at present the Income Security Review Committee, which is representative of several departments, is undertaking a review of all social welfare programs and all matters related to the security of Australians. [More…]

While I fully support the playing of God Save the Queen on all official occasions associated with the Queen or her representative, I ask the Minister whether consideration would be given to the playing of God Bless Australia in recognition of any Australian winning a medal at the forthcoming Olympic Games in Montreal? [More…]
I know on the New South Wales scene a case which involved John Gray, the present North Sydney forward and a former British representative. [More…]
On 11 November, that is the day after publication of East’s report in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Department contacted the International Red Cross in Geneva to ask whether they would arrange for their representative in Dili to interview the militiamen concerned. [More…]
In particular, the Department addressed a specific request to the ICRC that the three Fertilin militiamen, reported by Mr Roger East in the Sydney Morning Herald of 10 November as ‘eye witnesses’, should be interviewed on Australia’s behalf by the ICRC representative in Dili. [More…]
If you wish to discuss this case further, officers of the Department would be happy to meet you or your representative at any mutually convenient time for this purpose. [More…]
If the State governments are to be given significant powers to levy income tax, let us remember that these taxes will be levied by parliaments which are not representative of the people they purport to represent. [More…]
I find it very difficult to understand how Senator Wright, as the representative of one of the smaller States which can be likened to Oliver Twist always asking for more, can take the position that he took in the debate yesterday, a debate which he alleges had some relationship to the election in New South Wales. [More…]
Many people, including honourable senators on both sides of this chamber, had expected that in my first speech in the Senate I would mention certain aspects of the circumstances which I had experienced in one of my attempts to enter this chamber as a representative of the people of Queensland. [More…]
That vacancy occurred upon the death on 30 June 1975 of a Labor representative from Queensland, Senator B. R. Milliner. [More…]
The Government places the very highest priority on bringing some long overdue representative democracy into the trade union movement. [More…]
The Government believes that, by introducing a system which will apply uniformly to employee and employer organisations and under which a ballot will be conducted by the Electoral Office so that every unionist will have the opportunity to vote, there will be the opportunity for representative democracy in union affairs. [More…]
I also wonder why it is that members of the Australian Labor Party are so concerned about the efforts of the present Government to give an industrial representative democracy to members of trade unions. [More…]
I cannot understand this persistent belittling of the Government’s scheme, which has been shown by gallup polls and by virtually every representative sample of opinion that can be obtained to be favoured by the overwhelming majority of people in Australia. [More…]
We had no consular representative there. [More…]
In fact, the then Senator Willesee, asked the Indonesians to permit a representative from our embassy in Jakarta to go to Balibo and Batugade. [More…]
When it is being argued by many- I think by all of us- that the United Nations should exercise some surveillance over what is occurring in Timor and that Mr Winspeare Guicciardi, the United Nations representative, should visit Timor, it does seem to be somewhat unreasonable to destroy the only effective communication that there was with the Fretilin forces from outside Timor by closing down the radio transmitter in the Northern Territory. [More…]
We have taken action to assist the representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations to visit East Timor. [More…]
At the same time we were prepared to provide facilities to assist the United Nations Secretary-General’s representative to visit Timor. [More…]
It is not meant to be representative of different fields, but it has been possible nevertheless to draw together a body of people with expertise in a very wide range of educational fields to advise the Government. [More…]
We think content should be representative of the desires of the whole Polish community in Sydney and not just a minority group. [More…]
Why was the Darwin radio used by Fretilin representatives seized on 25 January 1976 at the time it was being used to make arrangements for the United Nations’ special representative to meet with Fretilin leaders. [More…]
Indeed the Government itself proposed at the end of January that the United Nations special representative make use of radio facilities on board the Portuguese corvettes, then in Darwin harbour. [More…]
I am hopeful that as a result of my most recent discussions in Jakarta there will be an early decision on the return of an ICRC representative to East Timor. [More…]
The bulk of these permanent employees were to be employed directly by the individual stevedoring companies (‘operational labour’) and the remainder by a representative employer holding company, Stevedoring Employers of Australia Ltd (SEAL). [More…]
I speak on these matters not only because of my concern as an elected representative of the people of the Territory but also because I think that the way in which the Government handles the situation in this Territory is a pretty good test of what sort of economic management it really can offer this country. [More…]
The selection of areas for consideration as national parks and reserves’, the assessment of the extent to which existing parks and reserves include representative examples of the major plant communities, wildlife habitats, ecosystems and landscapes; the assessment of long term changes in flora and fauna; and the ecological background for other and more detailed studies of natural biophysical resources. [More…]
I rise in this debate claiming to be heard because it was my great privilege when I entered politics in 1946 to enter as a representative of the electorate in which the Huon Valley was then a most important component. [More…]

The Minister may recollect that his reply in the letter that he has written to me is to the effect that assurances have been given by the co-called Provisional Government of East Timor that any steps that are taken in this act of self determination which is described in the letter would include representatives of the United Nations and that, according to the letter, it is understood that invitations have been or are soon to be conveyed to the special representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr Winspeare Guicciardi, and to the United [More…]
I can say only that I have been interested in the way in which these committees have been representative of the community itself and have worked with government in the planning that needs to be undertaken. [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…]
We find that the ministerial statement was altered by our representative in Jakarta. [More…]
He must be described as a vulgar person, as an uncouth person and as an undemocratic person, for expressing those sorts of sentiments, which go to the lengths of even condemning this Government because, to its credit, it failed to send a representative to Dili on Monday to that great farce and pantomime that was said to be the expressed views ofthe people of East Timor. [More…]
Where is the United Nations representative? [More…]
It does not seem to me or to the great mass of Australian unionists or Australians in general that a representative elected by 2 per cent of the people is necessarily a satisfactory representative. [More…]
It is obvious enough that the term of office could be fixed for such a long period of time that the representative nature of the office is effectively destroyed. [More…]
Arrangements are also being made to develop regular consultation between the Department of Social Security and organisations representative of women’s interests. [More…]
These are to entail the formation of a Peoples Assembly to be made up of representatives from each of East Timor’s thirteen administrative districts. [More…]

According to the statement delivered by the representative of the ‘PGET’ to the United Nations Security Council on 12 April, the Assembly will be charged with determining the future political status of East Timor. [More…]
Further elaboration has been provided by another ‘PGET’ representative, Mr Mario Carrascalao, at a press conference in Jakarta on 4 May. [More…]

[More…]
Firstly, is the Minister able to state when that committee of inquiry, which I understand comprises a representative of Commonwealth Railways and two other persons, will make its report to the Government? [More…]
In my statement to the Senate on 10 September last year I pointed out that Australia’s representative in the Committee of Twenty-four, which had visited Cocos in August of that year and presented its report to the United Nations in November, had made a statement which indicated that the then Austraiian Government, the Whitlam Labor Government, endorsed the broad approach recommended by the Committee. [More…]
I am reading this statement deliberately because of certain statements that have been made recently to the United Nations by the Australian representative dealing with these matters on behalf of the present Government: [More…]
July 1976 a statement on Cocos (Keeling) Island was made by the Australian representative, Mr Geoffrey Forrester, in the Sub-Committee of Small Territories of the Committee of TwentyFour. [More…]
-Some time ago the House of Representatives had a representative from Victoria, Mr Reid, who had done a great deal of work to help in this field, particularly in India, the area which the honourable senator mentioned. [More…]
The Australian representative indicated general acceptance of these recommendations. [More…]
I refer to a statement on Cocos (Keeling) Islands by the Australian Representative, Mr Forrester, in the SubCommittee on Small Territories of the Committee of Twenty-Four, on 23 July 1976. [More…]
Its composition is to be as widely representative as possible of all the varying interests of women in Australia. [More…]
In that area he has been the roving representative of the Liberal Party. [More…]
But the people of Australia who because of his actions have developed a hatred for the Queen’s representative in Australia know full well that the Queen can appoint and dismiss. [More…]
I respectfully suggest to the MinisterI am speaking now as a representative of the Katoomba and District Wildlife Conservation Society- that we should go out into the field. [More…]

-It is quite likely that this question really is not within my representative responsibility, but I will pick up that part of it which seems to me to have an association with the portfolios I represent. [More…]

There are 2 tributes which could be paid to the late Representative Harrison. [More…]

[More…]
Does Australia have a representative in that country? [More…]
Arthur Whyte, M.L.C., and Mr Claude Allen- who is the State representative for that area- the Government’s policy was explained. [More…]
Originally I expected to make the complaint after the Press council had set down its policy on retrospectivity, but in view of the fact that according to an announcement published yesterday Mr McNicoll has been nominated to membership of the council as a proprietors’ representative, I believe the council should first determine Mr McNicoll ‘s suitability for membership in the light of this complaint . [More…]
When the electors of Griffith become aware of his statements he may find that he will have some difficulty trying to convince them that he should remain their representative. [More…]
The AMA claims to be truly representative of the medical profession so I presume it contains its proportion of knaves, rogues and incompetents. [More…]
Sir Owen Dixon: “… if a difficulty arises between the executive government and the Parliament it shall be resolved in an appeal to the people, and we place on the representative of the Sovereign the responsibility of saying whether the case is one for the dissolution of Parliament and a general election. [More…]
A State representative has proposed that any member of the House who speaks longer than three minutes be ‘shot, stuffed and displayed in a glass case in the State Museum’. [More…]
That statement is typical of an answer from the representative in this chamber of the Attorney-General (Mr Ellicott) in relation to this sort of thing. [More…]
Senator Ryan made clear that Professor Manning Clark is a man of impeccable academic background, presumably a man of standards and a man who works against the historical background of his craft and who is a living representative of all that history has thought to have taught us. [More…]
Lord Fenner Brockway said that Mr Hoda was the secretary of the International Transport Workers Federation and representative in Britain of the Socialist Party of India. [More…]
Will the Minister give consideration to the provision of funds sufficient to enable a visit to the Arizona Roads Authority in the United States by a representative of the federal Department of Transport and a roads engineer of the Victorian Country Roads Board, with the view to making the information obtained by such a visit available to the State and Commonwealth road authorities. [More…]
Can the Government at this stage give an indication whether a representative from Australia will be able to attend that appeal trial? [More…]
His third question dealt with whether Australia ought to have a representative available at the appeal trial of Bishop Lamont and his fourth question dealt with the possibility of having an official Australian presence in Rhodesia. [More…]
Is he further aware that the Convention defines discrimination’ as exclusion, preference which has the effect of nullifying or impairing equality of opportunity or treatment in employment or occupation as may be determined by the member concerned after consultation with representative employers’ and workers’ organisations where such exist 1 1n view of that Declaration, to which we are a signatory I ask: Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to the actions of the Queensland Government and the statements of the Premier of that State regarding the civil action against 3 teachers and a railway worker, which has had the effect of imposing double penalties on such employees? [More…]
As far as the CSIRO is concerned, if a CSIRO officer seeks to speak publicly and to have his views accepted as being representative of a part of the CSIRO or of the Organisation as a whole, clearly that statement must have the endorsement of the Organisation. [More…]
Two years later he became President of the University’s Students Representative Council. [More…]
We were both then engaged in student politics in our respective representative student bodies. [More…]
When I first knew him I think he was the only Liberal who was on the Melbourne University Students Representative Council. [More…]
You, Mr Deputy President, as a representative of them in this place would know that about 45 per cent of all production in the meat industry is destined for export markets and that the United States market accounts for half of this tremendous amount of production in Australia. [More…]
He has been shown to be an ornamental representative of country people. [More…]
He is surely now to be recognised as a charlatan representative of country interests. [More…]
Let us look at Mr Sinclair as something more than a Minister, more than a so-called representative of rural interests. [More…]
But as you well know, Mr Acting Deputy President, because you are a representative of the rural communities, the problems of beef production have been with us for many years. [More…]
I believe that the Government ought to be taking some positive steps to correct the problems of the Australian beef industry, which is fully representative of the depressed state of the countryside. [More…]
Since the components of the question posed by the honourable senator ask whether there will be an inquiry and what the Government is doing to stabilise the industry and requires an expert answer, I think that the Minister for Transport himself should answer it, not I as his representative. [More…]
Has he also seen reported statements by the Chairman of the Adelaide University Students Representative Council and the Chairman of the Adelaide University Labor [More…]
As I understand the position a letter went to the State governments from the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) on the subject of the number of local government representatives on the Advisory Council in which the Prime Minister advised the Premiers that he had considered their request, made at the Premiers Conference, that there be only 3 local government representatives on this Advisory Council. [More…]
The Prime Minister informed the Premiers that for a variety of reasons, not the least important of which was that it would not be feasible to select 3 local government representatives from 6 quite distinct local government organisations, he would recommend that there be 6 representatives on this Advisory Council. [More…]
One assumes that essentially there will be one representative from each State. [More…]
I believe the Prime Minister stated a clear, fair and irrefutable case for 6 local government representatives on that Council. [More…]
I am sorry that representatives of the Queensland Government have seen fit to attack that decision, and I regret very much that they have actually misrepresented the decision on certain occasions. [More…]
Are they not the people who defied the Crown; the people who placed the Governor of Rhodesia, the Queen’s representative, under house arrest? [More…]
As I understand what happened in Rhodesia- I could be wrong- some 10 or 11 years ago the Smith regime was, in the opinion of the Governor, the Queen’s vice-regal representative, acting illegally and the Governor dismissed the Prime Minister. [More…]
The honourable senator in those final words cast a reflection on Her Majesty’s representative in Australia. [More…]
At present if the local government representative wanted something raised, he would first have to take it up with his State Premier who might or might not agree to push the proposal. [More…]
One hopes that the Commonwealth would surely agree that if local government were to be credited with only one representative for the whole of Australia it would be a complete and utter farce. [More…]
Therefore I do not give credit to the Minister or to the Government for the fact that there are more local government representatives on the body than the one representative of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Indeed I commend the Government and the Minister for having seen fit to increase the number of local government representatives from three, as originally proposed, to six, as are now provided for in the Bill. [More…]
If the State Government ultimately cures this problem and if it restructures its local government councils in that way then quite clearly the Australian Council of Local Government Associations will be better equipped to select a representative from South Australia. [More…]
I sat on a Committee for a few months with some very capable parliamentarians- representative Dr Harry Jenkins and Sir Magnus Cormack, among others- and we got a massive report about parliamentary democracy. [More…]
As the representative in this chamber of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (Mr MacKellar), Senator Guilfoyle would know that there is a lot of interest in that area concerning Chilean refugees. [More…]

It may, however, reflect a different sampling technique as the present survey attempted to obtain a representative sample (excluding where possible deeply weathered material) whereas the earlier survey may have taken a much smaller sample of the ‘ best-looking ‘ material. [More…]
I did see a padded statement made by a representative of the Government in one of the Northern Territory publications’ recently. [More…]
It was a phoney Press statement that had been put out by a representative of the Government. [More…]
Although the Authority in the first place may appear to be a step forward- I hope it will be a step forward in the protection of the Great Barrier Reef- if it was not properly representative, properly supported or properly advised it could dismember the Reef. [More…]
At consultations between Government Ministers, Members, representative non-government organisations and officials held on 7, 8 and 9 September 1976 it was generally agreed that a working party be established to formulate proposals for such a body, and that reports of the working party would have wide circulation among women and women’s organisations to allow for the broadest possible consultation and comment. [More…]
Is the Leader of the Government in the Senate aware that one of the Australian Labor Party members of the Queensland Parliament has found it necessary to approach the National-Liberal Party Government there seeking protection from his Party in relation to a levy which his own Party has assessed on him because he is a parliamentary representative, on the ground that the levy may be a breach of parliamentary privilege?

In the parliamentary recess, when I was in the United States, I had the opportunity to talk to Representative Otis Pike who was one of the leading members of the congressional inquiry into the CIA. [More…]
The Minister made that statement because it was revealed a few weeks ago that Mr Keith Smith, the chairman of the Australian National Railways Commission, in discussions with a union representative in Port Augusta indicated that there was a likelihood- the Minister for Education (Senator Carrick) has just referred to this-that the railways were looking at the feasibility of putting a rail head at Manguri Bore while the line was constructed from Manguri Bore to Alice Springs. [More…]
Of course it is essential that the nature or composition of the college be truly representative of the membership. [More…]
The provisions of the Act in section 140 (1) (c)- that the rules of an organisation may not impose conditions which are oppressive, unreasonable or unjust- and the associated regulation 1 1 5 will continue to provide the basis for members to enforce the representative nature of any such electoral college as may exist or become established.

Friendly Societies Health Services- The Committee of Management consists of one representative from each affiliated society, elected at the annual general meeting by representatives of the affiliated societies each of which has 4 representatives. [More…]

[More…]
It does ask the concessionaires, however, to carry a representative selection. [More…]
Would not such a provision be treated as an upper limit and thus prevent more than 2 able women being appointed to the Commission; or is the provision merely a strategy to enable the Government to sack the staff representative, Marius Webb, and replace him with a partisan female appointment, while making a transparently token gesture towards equality of the sexes? [More…]
I suppose those questions were directed to me as the Prime Minister’s representative in this place. [More…]
It is not a question of condemning that sort of election of a trade union representative or of any other representative. [More…]
Is the inference that a trade union representative or member has no right to belong to any other sort of political philosophy or entity at all? [More…]
Only the organisation itself may exercise a choice; the rank and file members are stuck with what their non-democratically elected representative officials may decide. [More…]
That State effectively loses its representative. [More…]
So there is an election to give that State its representative. [More…]

[More…]
In a matter of this nature I think the meaning ought to be more clearly spelt out so that each State government can be quite clear about the type of person who is deemed to have the necessary experience, as the Minister now says, or has the necessary qualifications to be included on the body as the local government representative. [More…]
The committee presently comprises a State Treasury officer, a Local Government Department officer, and a representative of the Local Government Association of Queensland, who is the President. [More…]

Mr Lobato is a representative of the provisional government which was established prior to the invasion of Timor in December last year. [More…]
I think it ought to be remembered that at the time of the treaty in 1947 or 1948 between the representatives of the then Indonesian Independence Movement and the Government of The Netherlands, as a result of the efforts of the United Nations Good Officers Commission, of which the Australian representative was the Chairman, it was agreed- the Indonesians at that time claimed that this should be so- that the republic of Indonesia, in its territory, should be co-extensive with what until then had been The Netherlands East Indies.

I think it will be a long time before the Labor Party will be on this side of the chamber, let alone having an Aboriginal representative. [More…]

[More…]
What action has the Minister taken to investigate claims by Mr George Mye, referred to in an article in the Brisbane Telegraph dated 24 November 1976, that the text of voiced by Torres Strait Islander representatives against the sea-bed line proposals during the Prime Minister’s recent visit to the Torres Strait Islands was prepared by a senior Queensland Government representative. [More…]
At this point of time I would not claim that the ACT would necessarily require a representative because it is fortunate, in one respect, in that it is close to the national media. [More…]

This was a matter of quite lengthy debate in the House of Representatives and I do not want to go into the matter in great detail, except to make one point which I feel was not made in the other place when there was this tedious discussion of what worker participation means, and so on. [More…]

I conclude by saying that the amendment to provide for a representative to be elected by the staff to serve on the Commission is probably the most important amendment the Opposition has moved to this Bill. [More…]
It is important to identify the fact that this is not an attempt on our part to remove from existing legislation any legislative power to appoint a staff representative. [More…]
It is true that there is a staff representative on the Commission at the moment. [More…]

one representative of commercial television; [More…]

The Minister has announced already on television, I understand, that it will have 4 representatives from the commercial sectorcontrary to the 3 representatives suggested in the Green report. [More…]
The Minister has said that there will be 4 representatives from the commercial sector. [More…]
It is difficult to establish representative bodies. [More…]
If the Government is concerned about qualitative considerations of broadcasting the sort of representative bodies which we have suggested as possible members of the Broadcasting Council include the Australian Film and Television School which was set up by a Liberal government under Mr Gorton, was proceeded with under the Whitlam Government and is being proceeded with now under the Fraser Government as a great national institution with the purpose of improving standards in film and television in this country. [More…]
If the Broadcasting Council is to be established there should be a representative of the Australian Film and Television School on it, because that is what it is all about. [More…]
Similarly, we have suggested that there should be a representative of the Australia Council because we spend $22m a year trying to improve cultural standards in this community. [More…]

Before I begin to reply to Senator Wriedt I am bound to make the observation that his motion, in my opinion, is nugatory for the sole, simple reason that it has been announced that it is the intention of Her Majesty’s representative to prorogue this Parliament. [More…]
I would recommend to supporters of the Government that they peruse some of the recent very well informed statements of one of the Democratic members- probably the best informed Democratic member- of the United States House of Representatives Committee on the Armed Services. [More…]
I refer to Representative Aspin from Wisconsin. [More…]
I think that honourable senators will find that what Representative Aspin puts forward- he has not been contradicted- shows quite the contrary, that is, that the U.S.A. still has overwhelming preponderance over the Soviet Union in both nuclear and conventional weapons. [More…]
-I direct my question to Senator Cotton in his dual capacity of representative of the Minister for Primary Industry and the Treasurer. [More…]
Senator Sibraa is not in the chamber, but those of us who come from Collaroy will remember our neighbour, ex-Senator John Armstrong, who went to London as our national representative for a fixed period of time. [More…]

[More…]
The approval to accept the highest offer of $6,000 for the equipment as one lot was given by the Australian Film Unit representative who was present at the auction when the bid was made. [More…]
What does cany weight with me is that the people in more sparsely populated areas engaged in certain industries should have a strong representative voice in this Parliament. [More…]
The right of the representative to see and to be seen by and have proper communications with those whom he represents should be paramount in the provisions of any electoral Act. [More…]
We do not have an Australian representative there directly. [More…]
After expatiating upon the Bill for simultaneous elections, the Attorney-General was good enough to say- and this was repeated by his representative in this chamber- that the fact that a State was being deprived of that power and the Commonwealth was being invested with that power was not conditioned by any requirement that the Commonwealth should provide in its legislation for simultaneous House of Representatives and Senate elections. [More…]
The result will be a Senate that is more representative of the current political views of the people. [More…]
No Senator shall use the name of Her Majesty or of Her representative in this Commonwealth disrespectfully in Debate . [More…]
My personal views and decisions may be of little consequence but, as a representative of Tasmania, I believe that at this juncture I must allow my constituents the opportunity to do as I do, and that is to make their own decision. [More…]

-According to my briefing note the New Hebrides National Party, now renamed the Vanuaaku Party, has called for certain changes in the structure of the Representative Assembly. [More…]
They see no objection to this Party or any other political groups examining ideas for a more appropriate electoral system, and the 2 governments would welcome a delegation from the Representative Assembly at a meeting of Ministers in the near future to discuss the modalities of procedures towards self-government which could lead to independence. [More…]
There must have been the fullest opportunity for all of those representative people to consider it. [More…]
As I have said, representatives of all political parties and all governments in Australia were in attendance at the Convention, and the only dispute that occurred was in relation to the amendment moved by Sir Eric Willis. [More…]
As I heard those words I could not help but think what a pity it was for this nation that the Governor-General- Her Majesty’s representative in Australia- acted in the way in which he did and that the then Opposition acted in the way in which it did on 11 November 1975 to bring about the dismissal from office of the Labor Government of that time. [More…]
I offer to Her Majesty’s representative in this country, the Governor-General, Sir John Kerr, and to Lady Kerr my apologies for the unfair, unwarranted and hateful comments made by a number of persons in this community who I have no doubt know better. [More…]
As I was saying, the Speech at the opening of the Parliament by the Queen or by her representative is usually an outline of the Government’s future plans and policies. [More…]
To accuse without proof and without naming specific groups of people is to make a serious indictment of the Australian public which one would not expect from any representative of the people of Australia. [More…]
They were the dominant issues upon which Her Majesty’s representative in this country dismissed a lawfully and properly elected Government. [More…]
Yet Her Majesty’s representative in this country used the deficit as one of the reasons to dismiss an elected Labor Government from office. [More…]
In a recent submission by this Government to the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission- the submission was not debated in this Parliament but was prepared behind closed doors and submitted by the Government’s legal representative- the Government had the audacity and the temerity to suggest that only $2.90 should be added to the national wage in the present national wage case. [More…]
In these circumstances trade unions can hardly claim to be representative of the interests of their rank and file, let alone those who make up the Australian work force. [More…]

I have received a telegram from Ms Val Mackay, who is a representative of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee. [More…]
They would not be very happy about the performance of the only Aboriginal representative in the Federal Parliament. [More…]
I have been in this Senate for only a year and Senator Bonner has been here for a much longer period, but I believe that he has been a most suitable representative of the Aboriginal race of Australia and I think that they are very fortunate to have him. [More…]
Possibly he has a grievance which he has continually referred to in this chamber over a period because of the incorrect information which was given to him by a representative of the Attorney-General (Mr Ellicott) on the rights of certain unions under the amended Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
The Queensland Government has declined to nominate a State Government representative. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Minister and of the Senate to the fact that Queensland has declined to put a representative on the Council, that is a representative of the Queensland Premier. [More…]
Poor old Queensland, of course, will not have a State Government representative on the Council. [More…]
Am I to believe that because there is no Queensland Government representative on the Council, any submissions from local government in Queensland will be at the discretion of the Commonwealth Government? [More…]
All at the Government’s request the United Nations special representative, Mr WinspeareGuicciardi, inquired about Mr East during his visit to Dili in January 1 976, without success. [More…]

I would assume that as he was a United Nations representative it would have been the responsibility of the United Nations to take all sorts of necessary steps, all the steps it could take, to guarantee his security. [More…]
Another point I should like to raise relates to the claims being made that the defeat of the McKenzie-Lamb Bill in the House of Representatives in 1973 was again a demonstration that the people of the Australian Capital Territory had rejected the notion of liberalising abortion laws. [More…]
I point out to the Senate that the people of the Australian Capital Territory had only one representative in the House of Representatives in 1973 when the vote was taken on the Medical Practice Clarification Bill, that is, the McKenzieLamb abortion Bill. [More…]
That one representative was Mr Enderby and he voted in support of the Bill. [More…]
Any such dispute not resolved by them within a period of two months shall, unless the parties to the dispute mutually agree upon another means of settlement, be referred at the request of either party to the dispute to a Commission composed of one representative of each party and a third member selected by mutual agreement of the two parties from nationals of a third country.

[More…]
My question, which is directed to the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, refers to the Press reports and statements about an inquiry into trade union training which will be fairly comprehensive, Is it a fact that a committee of inquiry will include a representative from employer organisations, that one or two persons have already been appointed to the committee and that the inquiry will consider merging the Trade Union Training Authority with a management training system?

What concerns me in association with this kind of activity in Australia is that I believe it is not consistent with the preservation in the long run of representative democracy in the style that we support. [More…]
The primary responsibility we have is to do what we can to examine any activities in our country which threaten in any way the continuance of our style of representative democratic tradition. [More…]
I wanted this occasion to notice how people seize on antiquities for their euphoria of particular prejudices- that is to say, a representative colony of the Crown, with the right of every other colony of the Empire to seek representative institutions, sought them and was denied on racial grounds.

Without casting any reflection on Senator Cotton, who I know has a real interest in this subject and who has had a fairly long battle with some of his colleagues to bring forward this White Paper- probably it is not in the form he would have liked -I hope that the White Paper is not representative of just how vigorous and persistent this Government will be with the prob lems facing manufacturing industry. [More…]
I think it was on AM this morning that a representative of private hospitals was asked what would happen if the funds to private hospitals were cut. [More…]

The Minister obviously is anxious to accept a representative from ACSPA rather than from the ACTU to make it look all right. [More…]

I would like the Minister’s definite advice on whether the relevant Minister will have authority to appoint only five of the six members and whether he has the authority to appoint a representative from a body which is not nominated. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that that dichotomy is still in the legislation which was introduced on 3 1 March in the House of Representatives, and I point out to Senator Hall that different legislation is now introduced in the Senate. [More…]
The principal purpose of the Act is the encouragement and development of representative organisations of employees. [More…]
The point I was just making is one which I appreciate Senator Hall may not understand, but the Conciliation and Arbitration Act does refer specifically to the encouragement and development of representative organisations of employees. [More…]
In the draft legislation which was introduced into the House of Representatives that specific discouragement was there and, of course, it affected people like owner drivers and organisations such as the Transport Workers Union of Australia and so on. [More…]

The attitude of the Portuguese Government to Indonesia’s incorporation of East Timor is expressed in the statement made by the Portuguese representative on 2 November 1977 in the Fourth Committee of the United Nations General Assembly. [More…]
In his statement on the item dealing with the question of East Timor, that representative stated that his country supported the full implementation of all resolutions aimed at restoring normal political conditions in Timor and ensuring its territorial integrity. [More…]
I suppose that if the Government finds someone who is in favour of the mining of uranium he will make the ideal representative so far as this Government is concerned. [More…]
Then there will be a representative of the Australian uranium industry. [More…]
There will be keen competition amongst the uranium miners as to which one of them will be the representative, and none of them will be any good. [More…]
There are many conservative economists in the country who say that if we do not mine uranium we will go bankrupt, so no doubt the representative will be one of those. [More…]
A golfing partner of President Marcos happened to be the Westinghouse representative in the Philippines and appeared to have won a substantial commission on the contract. [More…]

[More…]
Any proposals for a visit to Australia by a representative of any organisation which has a record of involvement in violence, or advocates violence, would receive the most careful scrutiny and would be unlikely to be approved unless it could be established that the visit would involve no risk to security. [More…]
The other members of the Executive Committee will be similarly distinguished people, representative of the States as well as the Commonwealth, and, it is hoped, from a variety of callings and backgrounds. [More…]
But he was, at the same time, a representative and a leader of all the people. [More…]

I am sure the other Senate representative on the Council, Senator James McClelland, will be prepared to join me in ensuring that this matter is referred to the Council and is considered by the Council. [More…]
On 2 May 1978 Senator Douglas McClelland asked me, as representative of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs: [More…]
I personally, both in my representative capacity and as one who has taken an interest in this field, certainly would be interested in it. [More…]
My question to the Minister representing the Minister for Health refers to the current Medibank proposals which have been very unfavourably received by a large section of the community and by representative bodies. [More…]
The Opposition moves this amendment as it considers that the co-ordinating committee as proposed, and even as expanded by the Minister for Education (Senator Carrick) in the amendments he has just moved, will still not be representative enough of all the bodies which will have an interest in this matter. [More…]
They came back with a proposed amendment to the legislation to the effect that we should appoint to the co-ordinating committee two members of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly and only one representative of the tribal owners of the land. [More…]
Senator Ryan’s amendment includes provision for a representative of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies. [More…]
A delegation from the Northern Land Council came to Canberra and asked for opposition to be expressed to the very proposals we are now discussing as they were not representative of their views. [More…]
From the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner) through his representative in this chamber, Senator Guilfoyle, we hear that every time we ask a question about Aborigines. [More…]
Nevertheless several questions on the holding pond and the size of the actual mine shaft by my colleague Representative Lamb did indicate that more positive details were needed on monitoring methods in the Magela Creek and that the Department of the Northern Territory must have ready access to such readings which must be taken frequently. [More…]
In the chain of command- the co-ordinating committee- about which we are talking I would like to see the inclusion of a representative of the Senate Standing Committee on Social Environment. [More…]
If honourable senators have questions either for him directly or in his representative capacity, the remaining Ministers will do their best to answer them. [More…]
Yes, but the inference, with great respect Senator Georges, is that someone here is alleged to be the representative of vested interests- that is, that they are polarising their interests. [More…]
That was the advice I received as the representative Minister when I perused the Bills earlier. [More…]
It is proposed also that representatives of each of the seven major trading banks and one representative of the State banks be nominated as directors of the Bank’s board. [More…]
In addition, under the terms of the Act itself, there is provision for the Treasurer to designate a chairman, a Commonwealth Government representative and two primary producer representatives. [More…]
I would regard that as a hideous case of exploitation of one’s position as a representative of the people and I would regard it as a denigration and an unexampled surrender of the independence of a judge who should stand by the salary fixed by parliament for his brothers as a salary that parliament will never alter except upward, as in recent times inflation has necessitated. [More…]
I might say that while I am a representative of the people all of it is paid into a special account and every penny disbursed to charity so that the Commissioner of Taxation cannot get it back. [More…]
That is a very serious matter for any Minister, more particularly for a senior Minister, such as the Minister who is in charge of the Senate and Senate procedure and who is the representative of the Prime Minister in this place. [More…]
During the April visit, the Minister met with Ministerial level representatives from a number of participating countries including Ambassador Strauss, the United States Special Trade Representative, Mr Nobuhiko Ushiba, Minister for External Economic Affairs in the Japanese Government, and Mr Haferkamp, Vice President and Commissioner for External Relations in the European Commission.

My remarks refer principally to Queensland, not because I am a representative of Queensland but because by far the greatest amount of sugar produced in Australia is grown there. [More…]
I do not say the Queensland Government, but the Queensland Premier who is a representative of the Queensland Government. [More…]
I believe that one of the reasons for this is that the Constitutional Convention is basically representative of the executives of the governments of Australia and the executives of the oppositions of Australia and is not representative of the parliaments of Australia, nor of the people of Australia. [More…]
We request that the Government does not make its decision on the Environmental Impact statement funded by Iwasaki, but to ask you as our representative to demand an inquiry under section 1 1 of the Environental Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act 1974. [More…]
I addressed this question to a representative of the Auditor-General. [More…]

[More…]

I remember talking to a member of the United States Congress, Representative Otis Pike, who was a member of a committee that investigated the Central Intelligence Agency in America. [More…]
I do not think anybody would accuse Representative Pike of being anti-American. [More…]
Also in attendance was the legal representative for the communities. [More…]
However, it should not discriminate unfairly and to the special advantage of peoople who hold a representative position in Parliament and take an advantageous position by reason of their authority in Parliament in relation to the people they represent. [More…]
There were two speakers, the Minister who introduced it and the representative of the Australian Labor Party, who said that he accepted it. [More…]
As for the word ‘special’ itself this is part of the jargon of international trade- the United States has a Special Trade Representative’- and is well understood by the Europeans. [More…]
Senator Douglas McClelland very properly raised in the Committee of the Whole the matter of the inaccurate evidence that was given by officers of the Department of the Special Trade Representative to the Senate Estimates Committees. [More…]
On the other hand, one could argue that many members of the House of Representatives in perfectly safe seats face no real peril at any time in their political lives and, of course, we may face more peril than they do. [More…]
Senators are involved very much, as are House of Representative members, in the actual stress of elections. [More…]
I suggest that if this legislation is to be applicable to House of Representative members and to senators from the Territories, then the amendment, as it has been phrased, has the effect of making it equally applicable to the rest of the Senate. [More…]
In regard to Senator Wright’s query, I advise that clause 13 remakes the provision that was previously included in section 19 of the principal Act for the payment of a lump sum to the person or representative of the deceased member or former member where no benefits were payable in respect of a widow, widower or child. [More…]
in order to support the communities, there will for each one be a co-ordinating and advisory committee to the Council consisting of people representative of authorities delivering services including one representative of the Commonwealth Department of Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]

[More…]
That facility is not available to honourable senators from the States and is not available to members of the House of Representatives who represent electorates which are smaller in area. [More…]
We should also be looking at ways in which the electors can communicate with their representative. [More…]
The board of the Bank will be dominated by representatives of the trading banks. [More…]
There will not even be a representative of the pastoral finance companies which are substantial lenders to primary industry. [More…]
I thought honourable senators held the principle fairly dear that if the national Parliament were to be represented on any body that the Parliament should elect and appoint the representative. [More…]
Further, I suggest that there would be far more cohesion, far more effectiveness and far more confidence and strength if our Ministry were composed of 20 Ministers and no more and if they were all in the House of Representatives: and there should be 10 managers of business in the Senate to deal with this chamber’s business, with a confidential relationship between the representative Ministers and Senate managers. [More…]
We have reached the stage where the compression to five Ministers in this chamber ought, I think, to excite this chamber to take into serious consideration the principle whereby the business of the Senate would be advantaged if all the Ministers who are responsible for Executive government were in the House of Representatives and the managers, who would be of equal status to the Ministers and would have the responsibility of managing the business of the Senate, were in a confidential relationship with the Ministry, but occupied that degree of independence which the Constitution requires all senators to occupy. [More…]
The remaining membership will be made up of the following: The Secretary or, in his stead, another officer of the Department appointed by the Minister, five representatives of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, a representative of the Australian Council of Salaried and Professional Associations, a representative of the Council of Australian Government Employee Organisations, a representative of the Confederation of Australian Industry, a representative of the Commissioner of the Tertiary Education Commission- such representation being an innovation- and, as a further innovation, a representative who will be a member of the Parliament appointed by the Prime Minister, and one who will be a member of the Parliament appointed by the Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
The representatives of the various bodies I have mentioned will be appointed by the Minister in consultation with those bodies. [More…]
The employers’ representative will be their representative on that Council. [More…]
The Government Department representative also will be a member of the Council. [More…]
This representative from another State told me that he would not send one of his members down to Tasmania for training, that it would be the last thing that he would do. [More…]
Senator Sir Magnus Cormack, at the time he was President of the Senate, became the Senate’s representative on the Council of the National Library. [More…]
We are all concerned about the plight of the people in those communities, who, when they exercise their democratic right to employ a legal representative, which after all is a fairly fundamental and elementary right for any of us when we are in trouble, when they seek the assistance of the officers of the North Queensland Land Council and when they have the assistance of representatives of Commonwealth departments, see people being escorted from the reserves by police at the behest of Mr Bjelke-Petersen. [More…]
I mention just briefly that the agreement said that there would be a local government authority for each of the two communities, that there would be a local government council, and that in order to support the communities there would be co-ordinating and advisory committees to the council comprising people representative of the authorities delivering services, including one representative of the Commonwealth Department of Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
I see myself as a representative of the Government in that position. [More…]
in order to support the communities, there will for each one be a co-ordinating and advisory committee to the Council consisting of people representative of authorities delivering services including one representative of the Commonwealth Department of Aboriginal Affairs. [More…]
At the end of the motion add- but the Senate is of the opinion that the policy approach advocated by the Australian representative at the recent International Monetary Fund meeting at Mexico City was contrary to that needed to generate world economic recovery and was accordingly against the best interests of this country.’ [More…]
I think that there is some case for a representative committee having a look at each Bill and then deciding: ‘Yes, this is one suitable for examination. [More…]
My motion proposes the establishment of a joint select committee that is bipartisan and representative of the Parliament as a whole. [More…]
He was also able, as a result of being a consul, to obtain diplomatic immunities and give a large number of parties in Sydney which were, at least before this Budget, based on the fact that, as a consular representative, he could obtain cheap alcohol. [More…]
The consular representative for Mauretania in 1976 decided on behalf of his Government to award a number of knighthoods to distinguished Australian figures. [More…]
I remind honourable senators, because I think this would appeal to Government senators, that a number of knighthoods of importance were awarded, and if he were still the consular representative for Mauretania some honourable senators on the other side might receive awards. [More…]
The existence of consular representatives like the Consul for Mauretania provides a very significant and important way for Australia in 1976 and beyond to award knighthoods on a proper basis in a multicultural society, because the system of awarding knighthoods of the imperial kind was restricted in its nature. [More…]
For example, in more recent years- that is since 1970- the South Pacific Forum has tended to take over as the more significant representative organisation for the various independent and self-governing countries of the South Pacific. [More…]
It is worth while noting that an Australian diplomatic representative has since been appointed to Western Samoa. [More…]
As honourable senators may very well know, for two years it was my privilege to be what was called the Australasian representative on the executive of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and within my area were not only the parliaments of the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand, but also the parliaments or legislatures of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, the Gilbert Islands, Tuvalu, Fiji, Niue, Tonga and the Cook Islands. [More…]
I went to those places purely as a CPA representative, but I also went to them, as was very quickly made apparent to me, as a senator from the Australian Parliament and therefore the questions, the demands, the inquiries and the seeking were put very heavily upon my shoulders, upon my plate and upon my notes. [More…]
It is of some interest to note that when so many of the States of the United States of America introduced citizen initiative about the turn of the century it was regarded then as a radical solution to the problem of a decline in faith in representative democracy. [More…]
A representative of the Australian Building Construction Employees and Builders Labourers Federation said: [More…]
The Secretary-General’s report will be heavily influenced by the finding of his Special Representative, Mr Ahtisaari of Finland, who is currently in Namibia to assess the political situation on the ground and the prospects for an orderly transition to independence. [More…]
The existing South African police will retain primary responsibility for maintaining law and order in accordance with arrangements to be agreed with and supervised by the UN Special Representative. [More…]
The Western proposals contain a number of ambiguities and imprecisions, which could become the subject of contention between the parties themselves or one or other of them and the United Nations Special Representative. [More…]
The SecretaryGeneral’s Special Representative’s visit to Namibia will no doubt shed additional light on these matters and assist us towards judgments on the sort of role, if any, Australia might be able to play. [More…]
One representative of the Antarctic Division within my Department, Dr Budd, was also a member of the committee which looked at this subject. [More…]
For example, if one looks at the Adelaide Advertiser of Monday, 21 August 1978, one finds a member of the Broadcasting Tribunal- the South Australian representative, Mr Merrickdescribing the manner in which the Tribunal had to deal with the renewal of television broadcasting licences as totally inadequate. [More…]
Further, we find that the estimates for the Department of Trade and Resources, the Department of the Special Trade Representative and the Department of Defence are to be taken away from Estimates Committee A. [More…]
A delegation from the United States Congress, led by Representative Lester Wolff, visited China 3 July to 13 July. [More…]
The petition of the undersigned, members of the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association, and like minded people, respectfully showeth that the Government decision to tax Commonwealth Postgraduate Research Awards will result in: [More…]
The petition of the undersigned, members of the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association, and like minded people, respectfully showeth that the Government decision to tax Commonwealth Postgraduate Research Awards will result in: [More…]
The petition of the undersigned, members of the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association, and like minded people, respectfully showeth that the Government decision to tax Commonwealth Postgraduate Research Awards will result in: [More…]
At the recent Antarctic Convention in Buenos Aires did the Australian representative insist that any agreement concerning the exploitation of a 200-mile off-shore zone in Antarctica would have to recognise Australia’s sovereign rights in the area? [More…]
I am not able to say whether Australia’s representative at the Buenos Aires meeting used words as mentioned by the Leader of the Opposition or reflected the situation correctly. [More…]
If the representative said that Australia by no means gave away its claim but in line with its Antarctic treaty obligations agreed for the time being to set aside its claim in the interests of general agreement with the partners to the treaty, that reflection is correct. [More…]
I feel honoured to be an elected representative of South Australia, which I consider to be one of the best States in the Commonwealth, and to be a member of the oldest and biggest political movement in Australia- the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
The parliamentary representatives of the community involved in the brandy industry were not consulted prior to the tax on that community’s industry being decided. [More…]
Furthermore, there is no South Australian representative in the Cabinet. [More…]
It is a matter of concern to me not only that the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) has brought himself into disrepute by this complete about-face from that which he promised and that to which he committed himself in 1977 but, also, to me as an elected representative ofthe people, that this sort of about turn, this breaking of promises, calls into disrepute the whole of our Parliament and the whole of our parliamentary system. [More…]
How can the citizens of Australia be expected to have confidence in and to trust their elected representatives when we have performances of this kind from the Prime Minister and his Cabinet? [More…]
He continued in carping style, I suppose, to criticise the existing Committee on the grounds that there was a government representative on it. [More…]
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…]
I shall give a couple of representative examples that are referred to in the report. [More…]
These cases are merely representative of many insolvency administrations. [More…]
I was privileged to attend on this occasion in my capacity as representative of the Regional Council of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. [More…]
As an individual I see my representative role as being exactly as described by Edmund Burke, when he wrote: [More…]
Certainly … it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the utmost unreserved communication with his constituents. [More…]
Your representative owes you not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion . [More…]
The Council will be representative of a wide range of interests and these are set out in broad terms in the Bill. [More…]
The committees established in each State will be representative at the State level of interest groups, organisations and associations reflected at a national level on the Advisory Council. [More…]
Their membership will include, collectively, representatives from the rural industry research funds. [More…]
The Bill provides for representatives of State government instrumentalities to be appointed to the committees. [More…]
I have spoken of reorganisation, of the need for an export oriented authority that is representative of the whole industry. [More…]
From the interjection of a Labor Party senator, I take it that the Labor Party is in favour of locking out a duly elected representative from his rightful access. [More…]
Having established that point quite clearly, because the two questions that run together present an interesting moral and ethical viewpoint of the Opposition, I state that I read in the Press a report that the leader of the students’ representative council has been denied his right to access to property and accommodation. [More…]
Accordingly, we have responded to the request of the Federal Republic of Germany, as the representative of the seven governments which participated in the Bonn Summit, expressing the support of the Australian Government for the objectives of the declaration, and its willingness to co-operate in the attainment of those objectives. [More…]
SUS59 billion and a net income of $US256m, and Barclays, which is the largest branch banking network in the world with 4,700 subsidiaries and representative offices in 70 countries and which has assets of 7.4 billion sterling. [More…]
If we are going to build for Aboriginal people, then we certainly must have an Aboriginal group or a representative of an Aboriginal group standing by to advise. [More…]
As a locally elected senator- a representative of this community- I am very much aware of the long delays in attending to very urgent matters, such as processing housing applications, processing applications for emergency housing for homeless families, processing applications for emergency welfare assistance from women who have been deserted or from homeless youth or any other person in urgent need of assistance. [More…]
As a locally elected representative of the Australian Capital Territory, I am contacted daily by parents and citizens organisations which are expressing their concern about the disorganisation, the decline in standards and the failure of the Government to respond to the real education needs of the children of the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
I have talked to the National Aboriginal Conference representative in the area today and tonight and I have talked to the man who did all the negotiating. [More…]
I can only say that perhaps in the future when the honourable senator is travelling he will be one of those people who will be exempt- a diplomatic or consular representative or someone who has been sent overseas to represent the Australian Government at an overseas posting. [More…]
Having had the opportunity in the past of student exchange in perhaps a very noteworthy way, I feel that if the honourable senator does not become one of those diplomatic or consular representatives he may become a member of a crew of a vessel and equally would be exempted and would avoid the embarrassment which he had on his previous reentry. [More…]
That exemption in paragraph 8 (1) (b) of the Migration Act refers to a diplomatic or consular representative or official trade commissioner to a country other than Australia, or a member of the staff of such a representative or commissioner who has been sent to Australia by the Government of that country, or the wife or dependant relative of such a representative commissioner or member. [More…]
The amendment will allow flexibility in the appointment of the Authority’s representative and will overcome a difficulty that has arisen under the principal Act whereby the Authority’s representative is eligible to remain a member of the Consultative Committee after he ceases to be a member of the Authority. [More…]
The people who created this problem during the late 1960s- Ian Macphee, as a representative of the employers, was one of them- were arguing against equal pay and were urging the women, the mothers, to go out into the work force as a source of cheap labour. [More…]
When I was in the Labor Party we held the five House of Representative seats for Tasmania and now the Labor Party holds none. [More…]
Representative democracy does not exist only where the majority makes laws for the time being. [More…]
Representative democracy exists where the majority for the time being makes the laws but tolerates the advocacy of different points of view and the living of different life styles which do not involve violence. [More…]
Does the Australian Government continue to support the sending of a United Nations special representative to East Timor for the purpose of making a thorough on-the-spot assessment of the existing situation in the territory? [More…]
I now ask the Minister: Was the Government representative Senator Bonner of Queensland? [More…]
An overseas mission of 8 officers comprising 3 members of the RAAF, 1 official from each of the Departments of Defence, Administrative Services and Transport and a representative from both Trans-Australia Airlines and Ansett Airlines visited the United States. [More…]
It was highly appropriate, when the Treasurer (Mr Howard) was attempting to rationalise the contradictions- the about-faces- in the Budget at the National Press Club on 16 August last, that he was asked a question by the Canberra representative of the Adelaide Advertiser, which is not a newspaper which has any reputation of being even mildly left wing. [More…]
The Canberra representative of the Adelaide Advertiser, when his opportunity came to ask a question, quoted to the Treasurer statements made by the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) prior to the 1977 election in which the Prime Minister had followed his usual line and said that if Labor got back into government it would increase income tax and that everyone knew that that would be disastrous and therefore the people could not let Labor get back into government. [More…]
The representative of the Adelaide Advertiser then said to Mr Howard: [More…]
Finally I went back to campaigning and acting like a local representative, at the end opening an office with my local State member to help local people with Federal problems as Federal members do. [More…]
I now ask the Minister: Was the Government representative Senator Bonner of Queensland? [More…]
Finally I went back to campaigning and acting like a local representative, at the end opening an office with my local State member to help local people with Federal problems as Federal members do. [More…]
I went to the meeting as a representative of the community of Goulburn Island and I believed that I would be given an opportunity to report to the community on the negotiations which Mr Zorn had carried out on behalf of the Northern Land Council. [More…]
The Qantas representative said: ‘Anyone of Jewish faith’. [More…]
I place on record in this House the concern expressed by the Australian Pensioners Federation, the representative of the people who are going to be affected by this brutal and harsh legislation. [More…]
Possibly she feels secure in this justification because she now has a sixyear term to serve as a representative of her State. [More…]
The Government has followed closely the recent discussions in Pretoria between the South African Government and representatives of the five Western members of the Security Council. [More…]
Although South Africa is to proceed with internal elections, it has agreed to use its best efforts to persuade the elected leaders seriously to consider ways and means of achieving international recognition through the good offices of the Secretary-General’s Special Representative and the South African Administrator-General for Namibia. [More…]
The Secretary-General’s Special Representative is now to resume discussions with the South African Administrator-General of Namibia to work out the modalities of the proposed elections to be held under United Nations supervision and to fix a date for them. [More…]
A Minister in the previous Labor Government, Mr Clyde Cameron, in 1975 made provision for nominations for election of a staff representative or representatives on the Executive of the CSIRO. [More…]
It is of course the consistent view of this Government that staff representatives should not be elected to the bodies of organisations such as this- either to the Australian Broadcasting Commission, for example, or the CSIRO. [More…]
For instance, Senator Button raised the question of whether representatives from unions should attend meetings of the Advisory Council. [More…]
I took the decision that one representative should be present. [More…]
I do not doubt that if ASTEC requires more than one representative to attend that could be brought about. [More…]
I believe that as Minister I have been associated a great deal with the representatives and the interests of employees of the Organisation. [More…]
I met representatives of the association involved. [More…]
The report on the survey acknowledges that it could not even be said that the sample is representative of the clothing trades industry. [More…]
I suggest that partly the reason is that the Commission as a whole, collectively, is not broadly representative of the Australian community that it is there to serve. [More…]
I really am fascinated by Senator Ryan’s suggestion that the Commission is unrepresentative. [More…]
It seems to me that the Australian Broadcasting Commission contains a pretty diverse and representative selection of Australians. [More…]
What I know of them suggests to me that the present commissioners are at least as representative, or perhaps even more representative, of the Australian community than those they replaced. [More…]
Senator Ryan has acknowledged that the Commission has two representatives of trade unions, although she seems to think that they are not as representative as they might be because they voted in a way she did not approve of in respect of meeting a delegation of staff. [More…]
It is interesting that Senator Ryan drew to our attention that they were not representatives of capitalism or of any other interests but two trade unionists who voted in that way. [More…]
We did not hear from Senator Ryan whether she thinks those women are unrepresentative and not fit to be on the Commission. [More…]
I was pleased to see that Senator Ryan committed herself with respect to the recently appointed commissioners who I would have thought could be held up in any company as being people not of any particular bias and people thought of in the community to be representative of the sort of interests which are catered for by the ABC. [More…]
Nobody except the two trade union representatives has been specifically criticised. [More…]
It seems that Mr Short and his trade union colleague are in some way not representative and not fit to be on the Commission. [More…]
Senator Ryan keeps protesting that the people I name are satisfactory, representative and the sort of people who ought to be on the Commission. [More…]
I will be interested to hear whether Senator Button, who will be following me in this debate, regards Mr Marius Webb as in some peculiar way being more representative of the community that the ABC is supposed to serve and which owns the Australian Broadcasting Commission than Mr David Williamson, Mr Elliott or Mr Ken Tribe. [More…]
The general allegation that the present Commission has not insisted on its rights, that it is not representative and that it will not stand up to the Government is an allegation which has not been supported by any factual presentation by Senator Ryan. [More…]
He said: ‘There are already trade union representatives on the Australian Broadcasting Commission.’ [More…]
Representatives of what? [More…]
They are not representative of anybody. [More…]
The only people who could be on the Australian Broadcasting Commission who are representative of anybody who has anything to do with the ABC would be people concerned with the unions in the ABC. [More…]
The Minister for Health has had assurances from the medical profession through its various representative organisations, not only the Australian Medical Association but also the Doctors Reform Group and doctors throughout Australia generally, that it is prepared to co-operate with this proposal to the maximum extent.

I feel that perhaps it would have been more correct to attribute that statement as reflecting the opinion of the Queensland Government, and we all know that it is not truly representative of all Queenslanders. [More…]
He is a representative of the Australian Government and must be taken seriously. [More…]
A representative will call to make sure that one’s coverage is up-to-date and so on. [More…]
Nevertheless, on reflection, there seems to me to be too many representatives of the bureaucracy upon the Great Barrier Reef Consultative Committee. [More…]
It seems to me that there are representatives of a variety of organisations whose interests would conflict with the general interest, which 1 believe is a strong interest, namely, the protection of the Great Barrier Reef as a whole. [More…]
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Amendment Bill will ensure that the representative of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority on the Great Barrier Reef Consultative Committee will remain a member of that Authority, as he should do; that the representative status is that of a direct appointee. [More…]
The Authority’s representative on the Committee is a member or an acting member of the Authority. [More…]
But his position on the Authority is that of Queensland ‘s representative. [More…]
As honourable senators know, I am privileged to be the Senate’s representative on the Council of the National Library of Australia. [More…]
Strange as it may seem, representatives of the Amalgamated Metal Workers and Shipwrights Union suggested before a Senate Committee last week that another Minister should be appointed in this area. [More…]
The existing troika, consisting of the Minister for Productivity, representative Macphee, the Minister for Immigration, Michael MacKellar and the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, Mr Street, has to devise a more integrated policy rather than the addition of an extra Minister. [More…]
I believe that the elected representative; **f the Australian people are not at present in . [More…]
If we want to achieve the situation in which that democratically elected and representative Assembly’s recommendations may be implemented, there are various means by which that can be done. [More…]
I believe that the fundamental underpinning of the concept of representative democracy is not only that the representatives elected by individuals and citizens should make decisions of this nature and not people who are not elected by the citizens, but also that when the lives of individuals are affected they ought to have recourse against or in support of the people who made those decisions. [More…]
What recourse do the citizens of the Capital Territory have other than to the four members of this Parliament who are immediately elected by them when it comes to a decision about the representative nature of the other members here? [More…]
While there is no legal obligation on the Australian Parliament to consult the people of these Territories for their views in respect of Acts ofthe Commonwealth Parliament, it is felt that there is a strong moral obligation for the views of the representative councils to be sought. [More…]
I respect their obligation to represent that viewpoint to each and every one of us, but it comes from people who largely accept the principle of representative democracy rather than participatory democracy which is the cause with which I would prefer to be associated. [More…]
Having said that I support the general principles of representative democracy I think I am entitled to say that the Senate is entitled to consider the views expressed by the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly. [More…]
What consultations were held with representative ethnic groups before the points scheme was adopted? [More…]
It is given to Charlie Constituent or the elector to make his decision every three years but, let us face it, there is a long time between one election and the next, even with the present Government, so he needs a watchdog in the form of his representative over what is happening in the Estimates. [More…]
I would suggest that one Estimates committee deal with the Departments of Foreign Affairs, Defence, Administrative Services and Veterans’ Affairs, and perhaps- if that were not enough- the Department of the Special Trade Representative. [More…]
We hear continual complaints from honourable senators about staff and the inadequacy of the back-up assistance that is becoming more and more a requirement to enable honourable senators to fulfil their jobs as representatives of the people. [More…]
But now we have reached a situation where a representative committee of dedicated members of this Parliament has been meeting regularly. [More…]

Department of the Special Trade Representative [More…]
Will there be consultations progressively with representative ethnic bodies to ensure that decisions are not arbitrary because many determinations will be made by interviewing officers and assessments will be put on paper. [More…]
These panels are not representative of ethnic organisations. [More…]
I could have gone on to explain that my husband was no longer a member of the council but that indeed he was the medical representative on the Tasmanian committee. [More…]
But he is still one of the medical representatives of the Tasmanian Medical Benefits Fund. [More…]
It must concern everybody in this chamber and in the Parliament that the Prime Minister refuses, and Senator Carrick in his capacity as the representative of the Prime Minister in the Senate, also refuses to give specific answers to specific questions. [More…]
That the Committee is of the opinion that the Australian Government should provide special funding to enable a continuing program of construction of the Stuart Highway to be undertaken, as unanimously requested by the recent representative deputation to the Minister for Transport from South Australia and the Northern Territory. [More…]
In May this year a very representative deputation met the Minister. [More…]
The report was completed in October last year by a Committee comprising a chairman nominated by the Commonwealth Department of Transport, a representative of the Bureau of Transport Economics and a representative of the South Australian Minister of Transport- [More…]
I submit to the Senate and to the Attorney-General (Senator Durack) who is the Minister with this representative responsibility in the chamber that in a period when the State governments are taking more energetic steps in the area of consumer affairs so much of the work they do is nullified unless a degree of responsibility and involvement is accepted by the Federal Government, particularly through what could be the effective work of the Trade Practices Commission. [More…]
While I was on tour I received a telegram asking me whether I could possibly go to Charleville to meet a representative gathering of people in the area to discuss the lack of ABC coverage, particularly of sporting events in those areas which I described earlier as a sporting desert. [More…]
As I said earlier, it was a truly representative gathering of all sections of the community. [More…]
The early results described above are taken from limited quantities of near surface material and should not be construed as necessarily representative of yield or grade potential of the Kimberlitic occurrences as a whole. [More…]

[More…]
As the Senate’s representative on the Council of the National Library and as its Deputy Chairman, may I take a moment to commend the report to the Senate. [More…]

If as a parliamentary representative he feels that he can make these representations to the Department of Social Security with detail that shows some of the injustices that he claims exist, I would be pleased to have them investigated and to see that any action that can be taken by the Department is taken as soon as possible. [More…]
However, if the Department is to assist these people to have their claims justly dealt with, information that can be given- perhaps through parliamentary representatives, community leaders or others- would certainly be welcomed by me so that whatever steps can be taken are taken on their behalf. [More…]
The Chief Defence Force Staff normally authorises such use at the request of the responsible Police Commissioner or his representative. [More…]
Precis are forwarded for comment to the nominated Australian Fishing Industry Council representative. [More…]

We suddenly find that in the case of Rhodesia, which I notice the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) and everybody else, apart from Senator Sheil, on the Government side in both houses, refers to loyally as Zimbabwe, efforts have been made by not only the illegal Prime Minister, Mr Smith, not only by the representative of the chieftains, Chief Chirau, but also by two long-standing advocates- very brave advocates I would suggest- and leaders of African independence, certainly people who could not be described as Uncle Toms, Bishop Muzorewa and the Reverend Mr Sithole, to come to some sort of peaceable agreement. [More…]
The positions on that consultative committee were taken up largely by representatives of departments, both State and Commonwealth, who were there merely to protect their own narrow interests. [More…]
What worries me and what may add t the concern of Senator Chipp is that the representative of the Department of National Development is the person on that committee who is blatantly pressing for oil exploration on the Great Barrier Reef, research or no research. [More…]
-He is the representative of the Department of National Development. [More…]
I make the declaration that the Department of National Development, through its representative on the consultative committee, is pressing for immediate exploitation of the Great Barrier Reef and that Department is supporting the search for oil on the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
For this reason we cannot protect the reef by simply giving a few representative areas national park status. [More…]
We have had assurances from SWAPO representatives in New York that an Australian contingent would be acceptable, and we continue to hope that this will be so- in other words, that SWAPO is in fact aware that a United Nations force has to be a representative international force. [More…]
The Australian newspaper was represented at the briefing and it is assumed that the report was prepared by the representative concerned. [More…]
Although I readily acknowledge that citizen initiative does enjoy some current popularity in certain overseas countries, particularly the United States, it is true that the idea of citizen initiative and a referendum dates from the time, and was most fashionable at the time, when nations were essentially run by elites elected by rich and powerful minorities, when full adult franchise was unknown, when representative democracy was not fully developed, and when there was genuine frustration at the absence of an opportunity for the popular voice to make itself heard in the business of government. [More…]
But perhaps the worst single example of the way in which the Australian people have been misled by a totally unscrupulous campaign occurred 12 years ago when some members of the Senate opposed an amendment, which was supported by all the political parties, to abandon the nexus which links the size of this chamber with the size of the House of Representatives. [More…]
But the fact that the Senate is generally agreed to be large enough does not mean that the House of Representatives is; that its size is appropriate in terms of the representative function of its members of the balance between the front and back benches that is necessary in that chamber. [More…]
Yet, thanks to the insidious campaign mounted by a minority of the Senate in 1967, the House of Representatives can be increased in size only if the size of the Senate is also increased. [More…]
Far be it for me to concede, after the events of 1975, that our present system of democracy is perfect, but the point that has to be made is that our system of government is one of representative democracy in which the people make a choice between the people and the parties that they want to represent them on the basis of the programs produced by those seeking election. [More…]
When the representative does not make the right decision, he has to answer for that at the next election. [More…]

However, sometimes the King’s representative or the Queen’s representative in this country can fudge in their actions based on the constitution. [More…]
As an elected representative of this Territory, I affirm and reinforce what Mr Barnett said. [More…]
What this means is that some people who take advantage of our democratic and parliamentary system and who live in a representative democracy with all the advantages which it confers on them, are not prepared to pay for the services which they expect this Parliament to provide in the community. [More…]
It concerns me that the Leader of the Government in the Senate, a man who is appointed by the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) as the representative of the Government in this place, can merely rise in this chamber and say that Senator Colston, as is his right as a member of the Senate, can put his case on the record in this Parliament and, so far as he and the Parliament are concerned, that will be the end of the matter. [More…]
As ohe of the Opposition members in the House of Representative said, the Bill reinforces the fact that milk is milk. [More…]

I had the honour of working closely with the National Fitness Council of Australia throughout the Labor Government’s period of office from 1972 to 1975 because the then Minister for Tourism and Recreation, the Honourable Frank Stewart, appointed me as the Government representative on that Council.

If there are other people who make contact and who are in possession of information which would assist people to gain a pension or a benefit to which they are entitled, I would see any parliamentary representative as being a representative of that person and would make available to him or her whatever information I am able to supply.

[More…]
Although Senator Walsh has indicated that he will in the Committee stage raise a number of problems relating to the Australian Capital Territory, I take the opportunity of the second reading debate to raise some of those problems to which he may wish to refer later but which I, as a representative of the Territory, would like to put on the record at this stage. [More…]
As I understand it the Council has agreed to the attendance at its meetings of a representative of the Department of the Capital Territory as an observer so that the views of the Territory can be considered in matters where the Australian Capital Territory is affected. [More…]
However, the present arrangements for a representative of the Department of the Capital Territory to attend CEMAA meetings should ensure that the views of the Australian Capital Territory are fully taken into account by CEMAA. [More…]
But I would like to buttress such an appointment with the appointment of an ACTU representative or a militant Yugoslav or Italian. [More…]
In 1962 the Liberal-Country Party Government’s representative at the Stockholm conference on the human environment voted in favour of a 10-year moratorium on the taking of whales. [More…]
In reply Senator Webster, as representative of the Minister for Capital Territory, said: [More…]
No capacity exists on the part of any authority, representative or elected institution in this Territory to create such a preference. [More…]

So I will be using representative figures that are used, as it were, in the balance sheets of the International Monetary Fund. [More…]

If subclause (5) were simply to read that “the proceedings shall be in private” and “the tribunal shall determine what persons may be present at any time” and if sub-clauses (6) and (7) were not there- sub-clause (6) states essentially that the applicant or his representative shall not be there when the Director-General is providing information and sub-clause (7) states the DirectorGeneral shall not be there when the applicant is providing the information- what is the essential difference between sub-clause (5) as Senator Cavanagh would have it read and sub-clause (11)?
