Under that Bill provisions in respect of the limitation of shipowners’ liability are being inserted in the Navigation Act to supersede the old provisions of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Acts in respect of that subject that still apply in Australia. [More…]
This Bill therefore makes the necessary replacement of a reference in the SeaCarriage of Goods Act, that in effect applies the old United Kingdom law, with a reference to the new Navigation Act provisions. [More…]

Is he able to state what is the total annual per capita energy usage in (a) the United States of America, (b) the United Kingdom, (c) Australia, (d) Sweden, (e) France and [More…]
Some considerations of relevance to this practice are the relatively small reinsurance capacity of the Australian market, the concentration of reinsurance facilities overseas (particularly in the United Kingdom but also in Europe and the United States) and the need to achieve an appropriate spread of risk. [More…]
My Government will continue its efforts in this field, and is at present negotiating with the British Authorities to maintain Australian beef exports, and to safeguard Australia’s rights and interests, in the United Kingdom market. [More…]
Constitutional responsibility for Southern Rhodesia resides in the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
According to my recollection, the number of British settlers who will arrive in Australia this year under the United Kingdom-Australia assisted migration programme is at least 68,000, which is slightly fewer than the 73,000 for the previous year. [More…]
I can assure the right honourable gentleman and the House that we are most vigorously prosecuting our migration programme in the United Kingdom to ensure a greater flow of British settlers to this country. [More…]
So in summary I say to the right honourable gentleman and to the House that we are determined that migration from the United Kingdom should continue to be the cornerstone of our total immigration programme and that steps are being taken to realise this objective. [More…]
I informed him then that there had been considerable delay in receipt of essential equipment from, the United Kingdom. [More…]
If one looks at the figures and sees the number of professional engineers in the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom and compares them on a pro rata basis with the number of engineers in Australia, one cannot help but realise that we are drifting into a serious and dangerous position, because this is a young and developing country which needs these highly trained professional men more than any other country needs them. [More…]
Early in 1967 the United Kingdom and Australian governments agreed to join together in the construction and subsequent operation of a large optical telescope to be located in Australia. [More…]
Australia should not slavishly and automatically follow the precepts and practices of other countries in this or any other matter of policy, but the United Kingdom allows the concession that I should like to see in Australia; Canada allows it; New Zealand allows it; the United States of America allows it and The Netherlands allows it. [More…]
The Minister for Primary Industry and others in his Department are endeavouring to expand the old established market of the United Kingdom and also increase exports to Japan. [More…]
I pointed out in this House more than 12 months ago that, if it was suitable for West Germany, if it was suitable for the United Kingdom, if it was acceptable to Israel and if it could be made under licence in Japan, then quite obviously it was suitable for Australia’s requirements. [More…]
But all members of that selfstyled government of Rhodesia, including the Duke of Montrose, would immediately be arrested and indicted for high treason if they went to the United Kingdom. [More…]
What I can say is that in recent days the United Kingdom Government has submitted a recommendation to the United Nations Security Council asking for confirmation that the unilateral declaration of independence is illegal and uncon stitutional. [More…]
In America, Europe and the United Kingdom government subsidies in many forms are necessary to keep the major civil airlines operating. [More…]
An approach of this sort has been made in the United Kingdom where the Standing Committee on the Pay and Conditions of the Armed Forces has been established and reports regularly to the National Board for Prices and Incomes. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it has been suggested that these peculiar aspects of Service life should be assessed in terms of a special factor called the X factor. [More…]
Those figures are based on estimates derived from police and hospital records, comparisons with other countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and an analysis of studies such as the Kinsey report. [More…]
It is interesting to compare those findings with those in the United Kingdom in 1965 when 75% of Anglicans and 60% of Catholics were in favour of legalised abortion in certain circumstances. [More…]
In the United Kingdom for the first 100 million cubic- feet consumption per day the price is 3c per therm. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, by way of contrast, recruits of the right calibre have been and are still being attracted, but the conditions of employment there are superior to those hitherto offered by the Commonwealth. [More…]
For example, the salaries in the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office in the United Kingdom are above those of corresponding levels in the general legal service of the United Kingdom Government and are among the highest in the British Civil Service: the First Parliamentary Counsel is treated in the United Kingdom as the head of a government department. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the parliamentary draftsmen are styled Parliamentary Counsel and appear to enjoy a rather higher standing in the legal profession than do their opposite members or numbers in Commonwealth and State service in Australia. [More…]
United Kingdom. [More…]
Sometimes the United States of America, the United Kingdom and some of the major European countries have failed to accept a responsibility or grasp an opportunity. [More…]
For some extraordinary and inexplicable reason we lag behind the United Kingdom, the Republic of West Germany, France and Italy. [More…]
National leaders in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States use the medium far more effectively in terms of both volume and time than we do in this country. [More…]
The United Kingdom Secretary of State for Defence, Mr Healey, said the other day that he was seriously concerned at the way recruiting was falling off because Britain could not keep her reduced forces up to standard. [More…]

In view of the long standing community awareness of the misery which has resulted and continues to result from the use of inflammable fabrics in children’s night attire, can the Minister indicate any immediate prospect of the Commonwealth or State governments introducing controlling legislation after the style of the Children’s Nightdresses Regulations 1964 of the United Kingdom? [More…]
Sir Solly Zuckerman, the Government’s chief scientific adviser, presided over a committee of scientists in the United Kingdom, and made some strong recommendations. [More…]
lt is also interesting to find in the report of the committee in the United Kingdom reference to the effects of natural factors on the movement, dispersal and destruction of oil at sea. [More…]
Of it United Kingdom investment represents about 45% and American investment about 40%. [More…]
The United Kingdom investment is older and much of it is hidden by Australian representation, lt is the American segment about which we hear so many emotional appeals to our nationalism and warnings of losing our heritage. [More…]
As an expression of the emotionalism to which I have referred I note that most heated criticism is of payments to the United States and not the United Kingdom. [More…]
This type of deduction is allowable in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The resultant interview when reported in the United Kingdom Press and by ihe British Broadcasting Commission surprised many people. [More…]
The United Kingdom and [More…]
In the light of these considerations it is intended that, in general, the costs of conversion should, as for instance in the United Kingdom, lie where they fall. [More…]
include the United Kingdom, South Africa, Pakistan, Eire, New Zealand and Canada. [More…]
I understand that the scheme was initiated in the United Kingdom and in Australia was first introduced in South Australia. [More…]
I understand that the United Kingdom Government has recently made an annual review of its policy in respect of domestic agricultural support prices. [More…]
What significance does he attach to them in relation to Australia’s trading opportunities in the United Kingdom for its agricultural products? [More…]
Like all other advanced Western countries the United Kingdom has a policy of support for its agricultural industries. [More…]
Is he able to provide the corresponding figures for the United States of America, Japan, the United Kingdom and the countries of Western Europe. [More…]
The following table shows the percentage changes in gross national product at constant prices per head of population in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and a number of the countries of Western Europe. [More…]

The relevant rule - it is not, 1 think, a standing order in the United Kingdom but it is a rule derived from long practice - is to the very same effect as our standing order. [More…]
He later became the Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom - a most upright gentleman. [More…]
It is a problem which is made ever so much worse by the nightmare hanging over their heads of the possible entry of Britain into the European Common Market and what we will do if we are prevented from selling the great bulk of our butter on the United Kingdom market. [More…]
The pilot advising at the lime of touching was Captain A. Whish, the holder of a Certificate of Competency as Master foreign going issued in the United Kingdom in 1938. [More…]
Is not this the great difference between the party which calls itself the Australian Labor Party and the great United Kingdom Labour Party? [More…]
There is no parallel between this system and the United Kingdom situation - a system so admired by the Australian Labor Party - where everything is tax financed, where there is no contribution by the patient to hospitals and where for 20 years after the introduction of the national health service not one new hospital was built. [More…]
This is what the system the Labor Party advocates has done in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The average time to wait for a hernia operation in the United Kingdom is 5 years. [More…]
There is no doubt that if Labor came into office and put into operation its proposals for a largely tax financed hospital system, with tax finance the only source of revenue of the hospital system, we would very quickly move to the situation existing in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The position in the United Kingdom is difficult to judge. [More…]
This is the kind of proposition that has been seen to fail in the United Kingdom under its national health scheme. [More…]
All this talk about comparing the United Kingdom has nothing to do with our policy or with Government policy. [More…]
With regard to the attitude of the people of the United Kingdom to their health scheme - I am not saying that complacent people are always correct - they are fairly satisfied over there, according to gallup polls, while only a minority are satisfied in this country. [More…]
In the national opinion polls questions were put to the people in the United Kingdom between 10th and 15th [More…]
The Minister said also that there had been no building of hospitals in the United Kingdom over the last 20 years until the last couple of years. [More…]
The Minister has said that a largely tax financed system must bring us to a condition like the United Kingdom, and yet I have demonstrated that this is completely denied by the experience of Queensland. [More…]
Let us see what has happened on the same day in the United Kingdom - poor old Britain which is supposed to be battered and down on its knees taking its last breath under a Socialist Government, according to honourable members opposite. [More…]
On the very day that the interest rate went up in this country for all sorts of purposes, including housing, it went down to the same extent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Its operations on the Australia run have enabled many young Australians to visit the United Kingdom and Europe at comparatively low fares. [More…]
It should be remembered that 50%, and sometimes more than 50%, of migrants now travel from the United Kingdom by air. [More…]
I recall a speech made by Lord Morrison, a distinguished former Minister of the British Labour Party, who said that if the Labour Party allowed the Communists to join its ranks, did not oppose them and instead collaborated with them and if members of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom were associated with and supported the Communist Party that would be the day when democracy would finish because from there on there would be a forum in Parliament for the views of those who wished to end the Parliament. [More…]
It has assisted the Malaysian Government during the confrontation with Indonesia and has undertaken defence support of Malaysia and Singapore after the United Kingdom withdrawal in 1971. [More…]
I think we should look at the likelihood of a British presence east of Suez, not in terms of what we wish but in terms of the fundamental purposes of the United Kingdom. [More…]
When we consider that in 1939 we had one diplomatic post abroad - that is to say, the post of High Commissioner in London - and now,as the honourable member for the Northern Territory (Mr Calder) pointed out, we have many posts all over the world, and when we consider that our Department has grown up like Topsy, then surely we cannot be in any different position from the United Kingdom and it is time we had a look at the organisation of our Department. [More…]
Australia, however, in common with the United Kingdom, the United States, France and a number of other states, at present asserts a 3-mile territorial sea, and is not bound to recognise any wider claim on the part of other states. [More…]
They could be people who are able to establish that they have met all the requirements regarding savings in the United Kingdom or in whatever country from which they happen to come. [More…]
How do these times compare with those in equivalent hospitals in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Sweden? [More…]
What I pointed out in the debate was that the honourable member for Oxley was lavish with his praise of the United Kingdom hospitals system. [More…]
How do these rates compare with those in equivalent hospitals in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Sweden and Canada? [More…]
I note that he stated that the waiting time for beds is much greater in the United Kingdom, presumably because the beds are financed by taxation, and I ask him: Does he claim that a shortage of bed space causes a lower standard of efficiency in hospitals? [More…]
This concept was stolen firstly from the United Kingdom, implemented in the various States and then in the Commonwealth by a Labor Government in 1914, supposedly as a means of obtaining revenue to meet the increased expenditure of the war. [More…]
This means that organisations such as the European Economic Community and countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom are making radical changes in policy which in fact give high protection to primary industry in order to make themselves self-sufficient. [More…]
I had a chance to discuss this matter some 12 months ago with officials and office bearers of the National Farmers Union in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I want to mention very briefly the history of death duties because they arose and were developed in the United Kingdom and provide a background to the law which exists in Australia today. [More…]
It is interesting to note that only a few years ago 25% of the estates in the United Kingdom were taxed more than 40%. [More…]
Provisions in the United Kingdom legislation allow for marginal relief on the progressive scale, quick succession duty and relief in provisions concerning agricultural property. [More…]
In the United Kingdom this was introduced in 1925 and provides for relief of 45% of the ordinary rate of duty. [More…]
I have referred earlier to the United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
Indeed, the United Kingdom Government has a slightly different formula. [More…]
Further details of the application of that legislation in the United Kingdom can be seen by reference to Green’s ‘Death Duties’ 5th edition, D. J. Lawday and E. J. Mann, starting at page 375. [More…]
The third point to which I wish to refer is that in the United Kingdom where provision applies for relief in agricultural property a considerable taxation avoidance has evolved. [More…]
As I have said, this is the situation that exists in the United Kingdom. [More…]
For my fourth point - as it may be a long while before one can make another comment on death duties - I would like to draw the attention of the House to a provision which exists in the United Kingdom law and which I believe ought to be considered by us and perhaps included in our legislation. [More…]
A provision exists in the United Kingdom - and I believe it ought to exist here - under which such articles are not included in the valuation of an estate in certain cases. [More…]
I was delighted to hear a member of the Government say that his own investigations had led him to the United Kingdom and to a discussion with authorities there, who had pointed out to him that the top 10% to 20% of their efficient operators on the land were in fact owner-operators. [More…]
The honourable gentleman also drew some interesting comparisons between Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America. [More…]
On the question of salaries the Attorney-General makes it clear that the salaries offered in Australia are low compared to those of the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The most recent available document which surveys the types of social security schemes operating overseas is the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare’s publication ‘Social Security Programmes Throughout the World 1967’, which gives the principal features of schemes inthe following countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Bolivia, Botswana, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Central African Republic, Ceylon, Chad, Chile, China (Nationalist), China (Communist), Colombia, Congo (Brazzaville), Congo (Kinshasa), Costa Rica, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Dahomey, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Gabon, Gambia, Germany (Federal Republic), Germany (East), Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Korea (South), Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Luxembourg, Malagasy Republic, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Tanzania, Thailand, Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Uganda, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United Arab Republic, United Kingdom, United States of America, Upper Volta, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam (South), Vietnam (North), Yugoslavia, Zambia. [More…]
Is it true that a number of companies from many countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Australia, represented by the Australian National Line, have formed themselves into a corporation, virtually, which jointly will operate all the container ships, numbering 13 by the end of this year, between the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia. [More…]
Some of these countries, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and France are larger than Australia and are well known to us as film producing countries. [More…]
So much of what we see and have reflected on television screens and film screens is an amalgam of the lesser cultural peaks of the United States and the United Kingdom - a hotchpotch of The Beverley Hillbillies’ and ‘Coronation Street’. [More…]
In the United Kingdom in 1960 entertainment tax on cinemas was abolished and replaced by a 7i% levy on tickets, to be paid into the British Film Production Fund. [More…]
This type of thing nearly wrecked the industry in the United Kingdom in the 1940s. [More…]
It is obvious from what occurred on this occasion that the people who contributed the creative work, who took the greatest risk - that is, the producers of the film - received only $500,000 out of the S3m grossed by the film and were exploited because of the peculiarly advantageous position which was held by British Empire Films with its tie-up through the Greater Union group of companies that are 50% owned by the Rank organisation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I would not deny the achievements of these countries; but each of these countries by dint of its indigenous language has not been subject to the same pressures from the United States of America and the United Kingdom as we who are predominantly English speaking have been. [More…]
The levy proceeds may also be used to meet costs incurred in the withholding of export surpluses and subsequent planned shipments to the United Kingdom to ensure continuity of supply on that market. [More…]
When reading through the White Paper on Marine Science and Technology which was presented to the United Kingdom Government in April 1969 one noticed a lot of space was given to pollution control and, more particularly, to sewage pollution of the seas. [More…]
The basis of the closed conference that exists between the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia is that there should bc a service which is adequate and which is capable of providing a frequency that can handle the export cargoes of Australia and service all the main ports and outports. [More…]
Since before the honourable member for St George came into this place he has quite consistently sought to read a lack of confidence into the post 1971 arrangements being worked out by the 4 powers in the region, together with the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the main world market, the United Kingdom, the position of supplying countries is governed by the level of the import quotas. [More…]
They have been maintained at a level to hold prices down and, with United Kingdom production increasing and total consumption more or less static, there is little scope for worthwhile increases in individual country quotas. [More…]
Some time ago the United Kingdom Government approached the co-chairman of the 1954 Geneva Convention and asked that the cochairman attempt to have the International Control Commission again take over its supervisory roles in Cambodia. [More…]
Independently, the matter was referred by the United Kingdom Government to the various nations concerned. [More…]
As a percentage of the gross national product the cost of health services in the United Kingdom in 1948 was 3.54%. [More…]
In terms of gross national product this was an increase of 59% compared with an increase in the United Kingdom of only 18%. [More…]
In 1967, the year referred to in the latest figures I could obtain, we spent 5.5% of the gross national product on health services and the United Kingdom spent 4.18%. [More…]
Yet the United Kingdom provided considerably more than is available under the Australian scheme. [More…]
Australia provides only $50,000 a year for this purpose, but the United Kingdom provides $9m and the United States of America S40m. [More…]
1 wind up by saying that I have always maintained in this House that the national health scheme, as we understand the basis on which it works, gives the people of Australia a better health service than any I have been able to examine, whether in Canada or the United Kingdom, and certainly a lot better than the United States of America. [More…]
Biological Association of the United Kingdom, Chairman of Trustees of the British Museum of Natural History and Chairman of the Indian Ocean Biological Centre Consultative Committee. [More…]
1 believe that 1 of the weaknesses in the national health scheme in the United Kingdom has been shown to be the fact that there is literally no responsibility on the people. [More…]
Much is made of the claim, as the Minister asserted it, if he can pause for a moment in his conversation to recall his statements in the House a couple of weeks ago, that people in the United Kingdom had to wait a long time for certain operations. [More…]
The Minister made the assertion that one had to wait a long time for hernia operations in the United Kingdom and this presumably meant that people there were not getting their operations when they should. [More…]
This information, he says, was then compared with data from the United States of America and the United Kingdom, lt is done in terms of the operation rate which is expressed as the annual rate per thousand members. [More…]
In the United Kingdom where there is a free health service, the operation rate was only 3.6 per 1,000. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it is only 2.5 per 1,000, and so it goes on. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it was 2. [More…]
What was the value of Australia’s exports to (a) Canada, (b) France, (c) Italy, (d) Japan, (e) The Netherlands, (f) the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, (g) the United Kingdom, (h) the United States of America, and (i) West Germany in each of the last 5 years. [More…]
Did Australia support (a) the view of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom and France that there would be unavoidable complexities which could mean weakening the Charter, (b) the United States’ view that decisions should not be hasty or (c) Brazil’s view that the fullest deliberations are overdue. [More…]
There are any amount of reports in the United Kingdom on this subject. [More…]
1 base my contention on the simple observations that one can make of the operation of the national health scheme of the United Kingdom where the estimates time and time again were found to be far short of the eventual requirement and where all of the operation, particularly on the medical side, turned out to be vastly different from what was foreseen in the initial proposition. [More…]
This is a necessary deterrent because in other countries where medicine has been supplied free, such as the United Kingdom, this has be come a dreadful and stupid thing for the taxpayers to meet. [More…]
But I sincerely hope that our medical scheme in this country will never bring about the kind of situation which exists in the United Kingdom and the United States of America today. [More…]
In the United Kingdom today can be seen the results of nationalised medicine. [More…]
The practices which were introduced in that country have today reduced the United Kingdom to a position where it is utterly dependent upon medical practitioners from countries far away from the United Kingdom who never practised in that country before the war or even during the depression years. [More…]
This has been clearly revealed in the United Kingdom over the last 15 or 16 years and it has been reflected in the hundreds and hundreds of millions of pounds sterling which have been wasted on that appalling national health scheme that was inflicted upon that unhappy country. [More…]
This has been true in the United Kingdom, notwithstanding the fearful impact of the ghastly Socialist policies in that unfortunate country, lt has also been the trend in the United States of America where the free and unfettered choice of the medical profession can be reflected in the developments that have taken place in a variety of medical universities throughout that country. [More…]
He has almost completely disappeared in the United States of America, he has almost vanished in the United Kingdom - unhappy country - and in Canada he has tended to move to the United States of America to occupy the vacancies which have been created in that country or he has tended to go into specialist service in the great cities of Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. [More…]
The Government admits that in the countries to which I have referred - the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada - there has been a diminution of the number of general practitioners. [More…]
Discourage the inflow of general practitioners from the United Kingdom . [More…]
The reference to the United Kingdom is an unhappy one because Australia is receiving a growing number of general practitioners from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Surely they cannot all be tories in the extreme who are coming as migrants from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
The United States and United Kingdom governments are pulling out of the Pacific region. [More…]
I remind honourable members that Winston Churchill was labelled by many as a warmonger and received vicious criticism every time he stood up to warn the United Kingdom and the people of the world of the danger of those times. [More…]
Fourthly, it would discourage the inflow of general practitioners from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The fourth point is that it will discourage the inflow of general practitioners from the United Kingdom; the United States may appear more attractive. [More…]
The oft repeated praise by honourable members opposite of the United Kingdom scheme and its socialised base leaves the strong impression that socialised medical services would duly follow socialised insurance in the name of alleged economy and equity. [More…]
How much has the project so far cost (a) Australia, (b) Canada, (c) the United States and (d) the United Kingdom. [More…]
What is the estimated total cost of the project to (a) Australia, (b) Canada, (c) the United States and (d) the United Kingdom. [More…]
How many are from (a) Canada, (b) the United States and (c) the United Kingdom. [More…]

Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to a recent report concerning a spray-on antiskid road surface which has already reduced pedestrian crossing accidents by 87%, wet road accidents by 72%, rear end collisions by 73%, and accidents where the driver has lost control by 70% in areas of roads which have been treated by this material in the United Kingdom? [More…]
1 believe that in some States there have been experiments with measures somewhat similar to the device which was apparently used with such success in the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, I shall ensure that the measures referred to by the honourable member and the success of the application of this anti-skid device in the United Kingdom are brought to the attention of responsible State authorities. [More…]
If the United Kingdom’s experience can be taken as n guide, most of this finance is of a short term nature but the United Kingdom, like other countries exporting capita! [More…]
I would suggest that the experience of the United Kingdom is also becoming the experience of Australia in this field. [More…]
For instance, in the United Kingdom model certain funds are not counted in considering the liquidity of the banks if they are lent on a long term basis to encourage export trade. [More…]
There is wide co-operation in the United Kingdom between that Department and the Board of Trade, which is the equivalent of our Department of Trade and Industry. [More…]
Second to the Japanese is the United Kingdom. [More…]
This is an effort, but what an effort compared with those of Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and so on. [More…]
In the United Kingdom civil servants receive leave entitlements ranging from 3 weeks to 6 weeks according to their status and length of service. [More…]
He then set about roundly condemning the hospital services in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Labor Party proposals with the health policy in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party has no association with the United Kingdom health system. [More…]
1 am putting to the Minister that last year, in answer to a question on notice, he indicated that on a population ratio basis there were more hospital beds available for the population in the United Kingdom than there were in Australia. [More…]
Here again, quite clearly, is evidence of the wrong-headedness of his approach in condemning the United Kingdom health services. [More…]
Secondly, his reply to that question on notice seems to be an indication that, in spite of all the failings he asserts are in the United Kingdom health service, it is still superior in providing hospital beds for the public. [More…]
In any event the United Kingdom health service is able to obtain 78% of public support at national opinion polls whereas the latest opinion poll shows only 38% of public support for this Government’s health policy. [More…]
The United Kingdom withdrawal from that area is occurring at the moment, and it is surely not in the interests of this country that another major power should be substituted for the Un;ted Kingdom. [More…]
We have known for a considerable t me that the United Kingdom was going to withdraw from Singapore. [More…]
The United Kingdom formerly maintained a peaceful situation in the Indian Ocean in conjunction with other countries. [More…]
But the United Kingdom is withdrawing and now the Soviet Union is there. [More…]
The only aircraft carriers that have been built in recent times are the giant aircraft carriers built by the United States of America and a number of smaller strategic carriers built by the Republic of France and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I say this to him: If South Africa were prepared to cooperate in certain particular strategic environments with Australia, Australia would be, as is the Government of the United Kingdom at this time, prepared to acknowledge that co-operation. [More…]
It shows not only the total amount involved but also the figures for the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]

The Bill will give effect lo a policy broadly similar to that of the United Kingdom Cheques Act 1957 but modified to take into account views expressed by the Manning Committee. [More…]
In the United Kingdom a solution to the problem of unnecessary indorsement of cheques was attempted in the Cheques /et 1957. ft is a different solution to that proposed in this Bill and I think that I should take a moment or two to explain why I propose in this Bill a different solution. [More…]
The United Kingdom Cheques Act has had a curious history. [More…]
Before action was taken by the United Kingdom Government lo introduce a Bill a private member’s Bill was introduced which, with minor changes, was subsequently adopted by the Government. [More…]
The result in the United Kingdom is, therefore, that the law does not appear to require the indorsement of any cheques but, as a result of the memorandum I have mentioned, bankers require indorsement of negotiated cheques and order cheques paid over the counter. [More…]
The position is the same in New Zealand, where a Cheques Act along the lines of the United Kingdom Act has been enacted and a banking practice similar to that in the United Kingdom has been adopted. [More…]
I have dealt at some length with the reasons why this Bill provides a different solution from that which the United Kingdom Act provides. [More…]
It will, however, provide the same practical benefits as a matter of law as are provided in the United Kingdom by a combination of law and banking practice. [More…]
This country has never adopted the same attitudes as the United Kingdom or the United States of America regarding the ownership of public facilities and instrumentalities. [More…]
Forty-eight per cent of foreign investment in Australia has come from the United Kingdom and 38% from North America. [More…]
Mr Prowse warned that Australia should be thinking how cold it might be with Britain inside the European Economic Community, and the gloomy picture that he painted of the possible ramifications for Australia of a successful United Kingdom entry should give every one of us grievous cause for concern. [More…]
However, it does have information that the installation of storm chokes or similar devices in all off-shore wells, which produce by natural flow rather than by pumping or other methods of artificial lift, is required by Regulation or Directive in Australia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Also, from experience of other legislative matters it is presumed that a similar requirement would be included in the petroleum legislation of other countries whose regulations are based either on the United Kingdom or the United States petroleum legislation. [More…]

amendments is a fundamental parliamentary proceeding and is therefore of great importance, I have prepared a statement dealing wilh the precedents and the practice in this House and in the United Kingdom House of Commons which I feel will be of considerable interest and which I think shows that the proceedings that day and the procedure followed were consistent with established parliamentary practice. [More…]
There is no reference to direct’ or ‘expanded’ negative and, in accordance wilh standing order I , resort, in this context, is had to the practice of the House of Representatives or to the practice of the United Kingdom House of Commons as declared in Mays ‘Parliamentary Practice’. [More…]
A huge volume of material is available on the functioning of committees in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, New Zealand and Canada. [More…]

We are faced with a limited market as far as quotas are concerned in the United Kingdom, and there are the increasing practices of lobbying, etc., being displayed in the United States of America as regards imports of primary products not only from Australia but from all countries. [More…]
In view of the disastrous collapse of our canned pea export market in the United Kingdom and the consequent pile-up of canned peas in Australia, will the Government investigate the possibility of extending devaluation payments to the Australian canned pea industry, the depressed state of which is due largely to the devaluation of sterling? [More…]
The report of the Committer on the Age of Majority - the Latey Committee - in the United Kingdom, which is a most impressive and illuminating document, did not touch on the question of whether the voting age ought to be reduced. [More…]
That figure has now increased to 24 and it includes the United Kingdom, West Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Rumania, Yugoslavia, the United Arab Republic, Canada, Brazil, Japan and parts of the United States of America. [More…]
It is a well known fact that young people in Australia mature even more quickly than those in the United Kingdom. [More…]

Is he able to say whether the Parliament of the United Kingdom in 1906 decided that the immunity from actions in tort which trade unions had, prior to the Taff Vale decision, enjoyed in practice should be restored and made into a legal right. [More…]
Is he also able to say whether the United Kingdom Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers’ Associations (1965-1968) found that for the proper discharge of their functions, the complete immunity from actions for torts alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of trade unions in furtherance or contemplation of an industrial dispute was still necessary. [More…]
1 am advised that the United Kingdom Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employer’s Associations 1965-1968 found that trade unions should have immunity from action for tort in respect of torts alleged to have been committed by or on behalf of a trade union iti contemplation or furtherance of a trade dispute. [More…]
I am advised that the provision of the United Kingdom Trade Disputes Act 1906 conferring on trade unions immunity in respect of tortious acts has been reproduced in the Queensland Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act and that there is nothing to suggest that a trade union registered under the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Act could not rely on the provision in the Queensland Act if sued in that State. [More…]
The Russians were prepared to carry our wool to Continental and United Kingdom markets at a rate reduced by 15%. [More…]

In the United Kingdom, United States of America, and Europe rural policy has followed the protectionist line. [More…]

There is sometimes a tendency, when tariff policy is dominated by Government thinking, to fix abnormally high tariffs for particular commodities in order to be able to bargain with overseas countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom. [More…]
These are very good tactics to bargain with overseas countries such as Japan and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I would have preferred the Treasurer to do what was done in the United Kingdom in respect of this matter, that is, to issue what is known as a Green Paper - not a White Paper. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the authorities appear to hive introduced a more or less universal system with an angle of approach of 3 degrees. [More…]
which, as honourable members who have bren to the United Kingdom know, is the major airport there is no approach pattern problem. [More…]
Originally the waterfront unions came into being because of the imposition of shocking conditions in The Rocks area of Sydney in the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s when waterfront employees were a disorganised force of people who were traded upon by independent shipowners and were subjected to the most frightful conditions imaginable, as were their counterparts of that day in the United Kingdom.

In particular 1 ask whether inquiries have been made of the relevant authorities in the United Kingdom, Canada, the Republic of China, Hong Kong and even some tracking and labour organisations in this country which have contacts with China? [More…]
An attempt to take a fresh approach to the pay and service conditions of servicemen has been made in the United Kingdom. [More…]

Furthermore, we cannot ignore the effect of the Common Agricultural Policy upon the prices of exports we can expect in markets outside the United Kingdom. [More…]
In other words, although we have had considerable success in diversifying our export trade and although, as a consequence, our dependence on the United Kingdom market in balance of payments- terms has declined, the loss of the British market for certain major primary commodities would threaten the very existence of major sectors of Australia’s primary industry and major sources of foreign exchange earning. [More…]
In the House of Commons in the United Kingdom a quorum is constituted when 6b % of the membership of 630 is present. [More…]
Commons in the United Kingdom, but if the number is reduced to 21 it will be a lot lower than the number in the United Kingdom. [More…]

That was the agreement between the United Kingdom and the Australian Governments to build the 150 inch telescope. [More…]
I not only support the Bill but warmly commend the Government for concluding an agreement with the United Kingdom for this $llm project. [More…]
The finance for part of this project will be provided by a body in the United Kingdom and the required amount has definitely been committed. [More…]
However, the main thing is that the honourable member can rest assured that there will be no difficulty in the provision of finance for the part of the project which Australia is handling and the part of the project which the United Kingdom is handling. [More…]
In recent weeks have there been savage increases in Australia-United KingdomEurope conference shipping freights on north bound and south bound services? [More…]
Did representatives of conference lines who appeared before the Senate Select Committee on the Container Method of Handling Cargoes give assurances that the introduction of containerisation on the Australia to United Kingdom trade would prevent any increases in freight rates? [More…]
The honourable member has asked me a question relative to 2 trades - the south bound and the north bound - between Australia, the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
During the last world war in conditions which were never so difficult inside the United Kingdom, the United Kingdom decided that it was right to suspend a principal pillar of democracy; that because elections would be too divisive there would be no elections until the war was over. [More…]
Yet the free world demands that South Vietnam, without long experience of democratic government behind it as there was in the case of the United Kingdom, establish a democracy. [More…]
Malaysia at the very time when the United Kingdom Defence Minister was in those 2 countries beginning to work out the terms and conditions and circumstances in which there will be a continuing military presence of the three arms of the British Forces, arms which are welcomed very much by these 2 countries and by Australia as adding once again to the general security of the region and as continued acceptance of traditional British responsibility in this part of the world. [More…]
I suggest that the Leader of the Opposition rests in the days which have been despised by the former Labor Chancellor in the United Kingdom whose next remarks were (appropriate because these are the principles upon which a Socialist government rests. [More…]
It is common knowledge that in recent months the Government of the United Kingdom has made special arrangements with the Government of South Africa for the protection of the sea lanes around South Africa. [More…]
Obviously there has been some serious reconsideration of policies in recent times by the Labor Party in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This shows that for the past 15 years or so industrialised economies like those of the United States of America, Italy, Canada, France and the United Kingdom had much less favourable employment experiences than Australia. [More…]
Canada and the United Kingdom would quickly show the honourable member that this type of programme has not been followed by them. [More…]

It appears that a disproportionate amount of attention is given to expanding our markets in the traditional areas - the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan. [More…]
This facility exists in the United Kingdom, in South Africa and in many other countries, but the notable absence of such a facility in Australia leaves an unaccountable vacuum in the lending structure, especially when large areas of Australia can be subjected to 6 or 7 consecutive years of drought. [More…]
I have been a practitioner in this industry for more than 22 years, both in Australia and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the past 15 years industrialised countries like the United States of America, Italy, Canada, France and the United Kingdom have had a much less favourable employment experience than Australia. [More…]
1 point out to the House that in the United States and in the United Kingdom it is standard practice that matters involving property rights are put aside when the liberty of a subject is involved. [More…]
I place on record the main provisions of the United Kingdom Abortion Act of 1967. [More…]
Most of the theories that are put up by the Opposition in respect of the economy have been tried by the United Kingdom Labour Government. [More…]
If we look back over the last year or two we find that members of the Labour Cabinet in the United Kingdom were saying that unless their Party rethought some of its basic ideas it had no possibility of taking the United Kingdom out of the problems in which it was involved. [More…]
Yet here in Australia we are having the same theories advanced - theories which have been disproved in the United Kingdom and which resulted in the people of that country throwing out the Labour Government. [More…]
The most recent figures available displaying the annual increase in real gross national product per head of population over a 10-year period show that in Japan it was 10.1%, in Italy 5.3%, in West Germany 4.7%, in the Netherlands 4.1%, in Austria 3.9%, in France 3.9%, in Belgium 3.8%, in the United States of America 3.2%, in Australia 2.8% and in the United Kingdom 2.7%. [More…]
ls the Minister aware that the United Kingdom, West Germany and Sweden have discarded the use of natural uranium for future reactors? [More…]
For that reason, I believe, the United States of America, as well as the United Kingdom and the countries of the European Economic Community, has an interest to see that GATT works, lt is not merely a matter of the Minister for Trade and industry putting forward a proposal that is of advantage to Australia alone. [More…]
We know the battle that he has put up on many occasions, not only for Australia but also for New Zealand and the other countries in this Asian area, against a lack of thought and lack of vision by countries such as the United States and, I am afraid, in certain instances the United Kingdom and other European countries. [More…]

The United Kingdom Labour Government was not for withdrawal and did its best to negotiate, using its position of Co-Chairman of the Geneva Conference, but its official statements were in accord with the Australian Government’s view and its successive Foreign Ministers have been quite clear as to the interpretation of events. [More…]
The unreality of believing that trade opportunities through preferences can be so blithely exchanged from the United Kingdom to other countries shows the naivete of the Opposition. [More…]
Yes, with over 600 members ruling, as it has until lately, not only a large population in the United Kingdom but an empire, they need the dinner hour. [More…]
nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement cone from the national Government. [More…]
nations such the the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the national Government. [More…]
Why does the dispute extend to recordings from the United Kingdom and not to those from the United States of America? [More…]
There is a reciprocal arrangement in this area between Australia and the United Kingdom, but the United States has not entered into the agreement. [More…]
The arrangement between the United Kingdom and Australia is that if records from either country are played in the other country, a fee is payable. [More…]
The table shows that the Tasmanian House of Assembly has a 40 per cent quorum with a membership of only 35, but as we go down the list we see that Western Australia has 33i per cent, New South Wales 21 per cent, South Africa 18 per cent, India 10 per cent and the United Kingdom House of Commons 6i per cent. [More…]
The countries I have in mind are those which are most important to us in trade and in foreign affairs, namely, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan and New Zealand. [More…]
There is naturally on the part of our own members inadequate knowledge of the problems, facts and policies of the parliaments of the 4 countries I have mentioned - the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Japan - and each of them is of great importance to us. [More…]
For instance, between 1961 and 1968 Australia’s percentage rate of increase in its foreign aid allocation was greater than those of the principal aid donors, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The tables annexed to the report show that Australia is closer to achieving that percentage than the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan and all of the other aid donors listed other than France. [More…]
I would strongly urge the setting up of a special commission along the lines of the Plowden and Duncan commissions in the United Kingdom. [More…]

[More…]
The United Kingdom Minister for Defence has very speedily visited all the countries concerned, indicating the new British Government’s views and seeking the views of Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. [More…]
I say ‘hoped’ because there is a good deal of work to do resulting from the change of attitude and policy between the 2 United Kingdom governments. [More…]
This fares quite poorly beside West Germany which provided 21.3 per cent and the United Kingdom which provided 19.8 per cent of their gross national products. [More…]
We have read in the Press in recent weeks of a scheme introduced by the United Kingdom Government under which not only pensioners but other citizens receive assistance to rejuvenate old homes. [More…]
In short, he is contending that what has been done in Canada under the Canadian Assistance Plan, what was done in legislative form in the United Kingdom as a result of the reports by Selbohm and Maud, should be done in Australia. [More…]
The United Kingdom’s rate of increase in crime fell in 1966-67 to 0.6 per cent. [More…]
I have to say that I received from the principal negotiator for the United Kingdom no assurances that were of significant importance to me. [More…]
Western European countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, are moving in the same direction as the United States - that is to say, the manmade fibre people through their strength, wealth and foresight, unlike the wool industry here, have got in at the top and moved down to the retail store. [More…]
Our main markets have been the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada and Japan. [More…]
I have always thought that in the United Kingdom they order some of these matters better than we do. [More…]
Is there not a lesson to be learned from the re-organisation of the Post Office that is being undertaken in the United Kingdom and the United States? [More…]
In my view similar steps to those taken in the United Kingdom and in the process of being taken in the United States are necessary. [More…]
The Post Office Corporation in the United Kingdom actually commenced operations on 1st October 1969. [More…]
The important point is the establishment of the joint select committee that we are suggesting to inquire into the desirability and practicability of the public corporation to which we refer, bearing in mind what is happening in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
The White Paper on the re-organisation of the Post Office in the United Kingdom, which has already been referred to, clearly shows the same sort of realisation in that country. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it is 6.3c, in Germany 7.3c, in France 6.4c and in Sweden 9.5c. [More…]
Much has been said this afternon about the corporation which conducts the business of the Post Office in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Again does the Minister seriously propose that Australia can legitimately complain if the EEC is dumping butter in Hong Kong for 20c per lb when Australia is unloading - I trust the change to a euphemism was noted - butter in the United Kingdom for 2s 6d or 25c per lb while it sells in Australia at 54c per lb. [More…]
In 1969 the United Kingdom purchased 115,000,000 lb of wool for $55m. [More…]

I strongly recommend that before the Drug Education Committee starts spending money on the usual sort of drug education programmes it should invite before it some of the critics of the drug education programme or read contributions by these people, especially from the United States of America and the United Kingdom, study these matters and determine whether some alternative is available as a way of trying to decrease the number of people in this community who attempt and find it necessary to use drugs whether legal or illegal. [More…]
Australia had a special and subordinate relationship with the United Kingdom because we were, and still are, a source of cheap food. [More…]
I have dealt with this matter on former occasions, but suffice it to say that the prices we are getting in the United Kingdom broadly are less than one-half of what the ordinary Australian worker and housewife has to pay for these commodities in shops in major cities and industrial centres. [More…]
1 do not want to see Australia -I am speaking of the long term, not the short term - put itself in exactly the same relationship with Japan that we have had with the United Kingdom. [More…]

Is it a fact that Prime Minister Menzies told me on 16th March 1965 (Hansard, page 38) that Australia had withdrawn from the Convention in 1945 along with the United Kingdom and Canada. [More…]
If this Government really wanted to assist young people to secure their own homes it should allow interest on housing loans to be a tax deduction, as it is in the United Kingdom. [More…]
On 17 th September 1970, in answer to a question I had directed to him the Minister for Immigration advised me that arrivals under the United Kingdom assisted passage scheme increased from 1,960 for the January-June period in 1947 to 69,035 in 1969-70. [More…]
For example, 908,664 were born in the United Kingdom, 267,325 were born in Italy and so on. [More…]
Comparable figures for other countries were: France 132, Germany 335, Japan 297, Sweden 243, United Kingdom 2O0, United States 183, and Russia 737. [More…]
After all, as I recollect, the Calder Hall atomic power station in Cumberland in the United Kingdom was developed in 1956 and investigations went on for a long time before that. [More…]
In fact, we now have something over 40 such stations in the world - I do not know the current figure - producing significant proportions of power in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Conzinc Rio Tinto of Australia would in any such action have been acting as agent for its parent company Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation Ltd of the United Kingdom. [More…]
During my remarks I said that Rio Tinto Zinc of the United Kingdom was controlled by the European-based Rothschild banking organisation, and’ much to my surprise I must have touched, a few sensitive nerves. [More…]
As Mr Justice Windeyer pointed out, such an objection was permissible in the United Kingdom during World War II. [More…]
The next point which the Deputy Leader of the Opposition made was that there was selective objection in the United Kingdom during the Second World War. [More…]

This was so in the United Kingdom during the war of 1939-194S, as Mr Fenner Brockway, a veteran of the cause of conscientious objectors, has acknowledged in his foreword to Hayes’ Challenge of Conscience which deals with that period. [More…]
There is a tiny minority of aliens in the Army whose constitutional position is different, but what I am about to say applies to the overwhelming majority, namely, that they are subjects of the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, according to the covering clauses of the Constitution and other clauses within it. [More…]
Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom permits a trade which supplies North Vietnam with weapons. [More…]
The position of Her Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom has simply been that certain of Her Majesty’s subjects will have money as a result of this trade and other of Her Majesty’s subjects will have death as a result of this trade. [More…]
The late Sir Wilfrid Kent Hughes and the present Minister for the Navy (Mr Killen) have protested about this situation, but we have no evidence that the Australian Government has attempted anything in the way of inducing the United Kingdom to cease from the trade. [More…]
In 1961 the Johnston Committee in the United Kingdom recommended substantial changes in the United Kingdom designs law. [More…]

For example, in the United Kingdom under the Labor Government it was found that between I I per cent and 14 per cent of households were at poverty level and it increased during the period that the Labor Government - the Democratic Socialists - had power. [More…]
At existing prices and without assistance the local tractor industry would be unable to compete effectively against exports made by the large volume producers, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
Malaysia welcomes the type of arrangements that are being discussed between the 5 countries, that is, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Malaysia and Singapore, and this recent statement will make no difference to the attitude he has taken to those arrangements. [More…]
Another rumour which is circulating is that the Government intends to embark on an intensive advertising programme, at a considerable cost, throughout the United Kingdom and Europe in order to obtain meat inspectors, yet the Government cannot afford to pay higher wages to its employees. [More…]
This was a ban on meat for export to not only the United Kingdom or the United States of America but also all destinations. [More…]
His advice was that we should wait for the fast breeder reactor which will be perfected in the United Kingdom before the end of the 1970s. [More…]
The honourable member stated in relation to the development of the fast breeder type of reactor in the United Kingdom that it would become available commercially in the late 1970s. [More…]
I do not know where he obtained this information but the best technical information that we have is that the fast breeder type of reactor will not become available commercially in the United Kingdom or elsewhere until the 1990s so, of course, that must affect the approach to this question. [More…]
In addition, before the end of 1970 it is expected that there wm be announced another 4 reactors in Germany and another 4 in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The distribution of Australian productions is very limited because the United States and the United Kingdom both rigidly enforce a policy to protect their own television industries. [More…]
For example, 86 per cent of television shows in the United Kingdom and nearly 100 per cent in the United States must be locally produced. [More…]
Firstly, I submit a plea to the ABC and its management to allocate adequate funds to train and increase television teams reporting current political, economic and social events in other countries, principally countries in South East Asia - I mean all of them - and the United States of America, the United Kingdom and, if possible, other countries of importance to us such as the Communist countries. [More…]
I might add while talking of repeat programmes that Australian writers are not paid for repeats as are their United States, United Kingdom and Canadian counterparts. [More…]
That the Commonwealth Parliament has acted to remove some inadequacies in the Australian education system; a major inadequacy at present in Australian education is the lack of equal education opportunity for all; more than 500,000 children suffer from serious lack of equal opportunity; Australia cannot afford to waste the talents of one sixth of its school children; only the Commonwealth has the financial resources for special programmes to remove inadequacies; and nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government. [More…]
Over the past 12 months of operation there have been and in the next 12 months there will continue to be a very substantial percentage of cargoes and goods carried from Australia to the United Kingdom and Europe by conventional vessels. [More…]
It is because of the industrial troubles at Tilbury, to which my colleague referred, because of the taint problems in refrigerated containers and of this blend of conventional and container vessels that the cost factors have moved so adversely against conference line freight rates in the United Kingdom-Europe trade. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Trade and Industry: Has the Government considered the desirability of embarking on a public relations and advertising campaign in the United Kingdom, extolling the high quality and reasonable prices of Australian primary products, especially food, and if possible drawing attention to the possible increases of food prices should Great Brittain enter the Common Market, when Australian produce, especially foodstuffs, would be excluded from entry to the United Kingdom? [More…]
The Government does aid in maintaining a constant trade publicity campaign in the United Kingdom and, from the United Kingdom, largely in Europe. [More…]
I would think it improper for the Government to appear to be trying to influence a political decision in the United Kingdom by canvassing the fact that if Britain should join the Common Market food products there would be dearer. [More…]
But that is a matter of controversy in the political field in the United Kingdom and it is not a matter in which we have sought or ever would seek to intervene and participate. [More…]
An off the cuff committee of this sort compares most unfavourably with the Standing Reference on the Pay of the Armed Forces established in the United Kingdom. [More…]
our vital engagements with the United Kingdom are not written or in any way formalised. [More…]
In June 1957 we agreed with the United Kingdom and New Zealand to share the cost of the construction of a Commonwealth base at Terendak and we paid 22.7 per cent of the total cost. [More…]

The rights of occupancy of the Air Force base, Butterworth, were transferred by the United Kingdom authorities to the Malaysian Government on and from lst April 1970. [More…]
Is there any variation in the methods of negotiation in respect of these services and those of the Conference Lines to the United Kingdom and Europe? [More…]
Where there is an introduction of new forms of cargo handling, whether by pallets, flats or containers, there is a capacity to reduce substantially the impact of these increased costs, lt is for that reason alone that in the negotiations in the United Kingdom to. [More…]
If we look at the nations abutting onto the Indian Ocean we find that the main bases, including Mauritius, which formerly were held by the United Kingdom, are now seemingly becoming less well held. [More…]
by leave - In response to questions by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Whitlam) and the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Barnard) on Friday, I said that I would make a statement on the operation of the container ship service between Australia and the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
The Government in its support for, and participation in, the introduction of the container system between Australia and the United Kingdom and Europe believed that the new system seemed likely to reduce costs and enable either freight reduction or greater stability in freights than in the past, where there has been a history of constant freight increases. [More…]
The recent increase in freights to United Kingdom/ Europe was the first since 1966. [More…]
In that period, I am told that the weighted average increase of freights over all cargoes from Australia to the United Kingdom and Europe has increased only by about 41 per cent or roughly at a rate of 1 per cent per annum. [More…]
For instance, I am informed that in the United Kingdom there have been very large increases in wages of stevedores and seamen, 40 per cent increase in the case of seamen’s wages. [More…]
I am told that the round voyage time between Australia and the United Kingdom is getting down towards 70 days for container ships compared wtih between 100 days and 120 days for conventional ships. [More…]
At this point attention was drawn to the fact that the industry had not accepted these opportunities and that bad management was the real cause of loss of profitability in the industry in the United Kingdom. [More…]
On 24th July representatives of Overseas Containers Australia Pty Ltd visited the north Queensland ports advising the authorities that they had hoped to take over the export of meat for the United Kingdom and the North American trade as from January 1971. [More…]
Certainly at present United Kingdom trade represents only a small proportion of the meat trade but people in the north have been notified by representatives of OCL that the American trade could be affected in the future. [More…]
It might be of interest to note that from March 1967 to June 1970 the following cost increases were incurred in the Australia to Europe trade: Loading costs from United Kingdom ports increased overall by 56 per cent; stevedoring costs on the Continent increased by 21 per cent and in Australia by 31 per cent; United Kingdom crew wages increased by 40 per cent; crew victualling by 21 per cent; European crew wages increased by an average of 40 per cent and United Kingdom port charges increased by an average of 10 per cent. [More…]
Since March this year United Kingdom terminal charges have increased by 31 per cent and Australian depot charges have increased by 50 per cent. [More…]
So there was an actual reduction in the annual freight cost on the Australia to United Kingdom and Europe trade in 1968. [More…]
If one looks at the level of increases in transport charges by freight forwarders in Australia and looks at the levels of increase in onward freight rates in the United Kingdom and Europe on shore, one can see how much greater would have been the cost increases were it not for the introduction of container and conventional vessels. [More…]
Firstly, we have an undertaking from the United Kingdom-Europe Conference that there will be no greater freight cost for goods moved from outports as a result of the introduction of containers than if they were sent by direct shipment. [More…]
If there is a container service running regularly to the United Kingdom and Europe surely he will get a more frequent service than the 3-weekly or monthly service, whatever the old conventional service used to be. [More…]
There is an obligation upon the conference responsible for the United Kingdom-Europe service to absorb in overall freight costs the rate for the movement of goods from northern Queensland to the main ports. [More…]
It is obvious that the 5-power arrangement between Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand is simply not satisfactory to the Malaysian Government, so it has recognised the situation. [More…]
It is the experience of the 2 great naval shipbuilding countries in the Western world, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
That the Commonwealth Parliament has acted to remove some inadequacies in the Australian education system: a major inadequacy at present in Australian education is the lack of equal education opportunity for all; more than 500,000 children surfer from serious lack of equal opportunity; Australia cannot afford to waste the talents of one-sixth of its school children; only the Commonwealth has the financial resources for special programmes to remove inadequacies; and nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government. [More…]
The honourable member for Riverina (Mr Grassby) raised a matter that is frequently mentioned - I only want to touch on this point - and that is the Australian High Commissioner in the United Kingdom being attached to the Prime Minister’s Department and not to the Department of External Affairs.

Because of the unique historical association between Australia and die United Kingdom and because this is believed to be the most appropriate arrangement . [More…]

Yesterday in reply to a question the Prime Minister suggested that intranational - that means inside a nation, and I say this because some honourable members complain that they cannot bear what I am saying - tensions are caused by colour differences and he gave the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Malaysia as examples. [More…]
The British authorities had expressed the view that they would not countenance any system that would give differing benefits to their ex-servicemen who were in the United Kingdom or who had migrated to one of the Commonwealth countries. [More…]
Firstly, they do not have the benefits of the British free medical and hospital scheme that they would have available to them in the United Kingdom, in their capacity as ex-servicemen. [More…]
If he were in the United Kingdom he would receive free hospital and medical benefits by virtue of his capacity as an ex-serviceman. [More…]
Has the Minister forgotten that on 15th January the Chairman of Overseas Containers Ltd, Sir Andrew Chrichton, revealed ‘the revenue on the United Kingdom - Australia trade that we had anticipated achieving in the first 2 years was achieved in 7i months’? [More…]
That the Commonwealth Parliament has acted to remove some inadequacies in the Australian education system; a major inadequacy at present in Australian education is the lack of equal education opportunity for all; more than 500,000 children suffer from serious lack of equal opportunity; Australia cannot afford to waste the talents of one sixth of its school children; only the Commonwealth has the financial resources for special programmes to remove inadequacies; and nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government.

What is the likely result in relation to the number of migrants from the United Kingdom, which has also been subject to Press comment? [More…]
Dr John Skinner, Manager of the International Wool Secretariat’s Wool Handling Services Department, in January of this year quoted a similar figure to that of the Minister when he assessed the average cost of handling and transporting a bale of wool from the farm in Australia to the overseas mill in the United Kingdom or northern Europe at about $28 a bale. [More…]
Dr Skinner looked at the various stages in the wool journey and assessed the position for a single bale of wool as follows: Approximately $6 from farm to broker’s door, approximately $7 in the store, including the broker’s commission and the buyer’s commission, approximately $4.50 from broker’s store into ship, approximately $9 for delivery by ship to overseas port, and approximately $1.50 from the ship to the United Kingdom mill. [More…]
1 defy honourable members to look through the report of the Commission and to find anything which would lead one to believe that Sir John Williams is in accord with a policy which advocated cellular container ships on the Australian-United Kingdom-Europe run. [More…]
Incidentally, as 1 said earlier, the decision to go into the United Kingdom-Europe trade with a cellular ship was a decision of the Department of Trade and Industry. [More…]

However, it is the Australia-United Kingdom-Europe trade to which I intend specifically to refer. [More…]
Do these words apply to our investment in the United Kingdom-Europe conference? [More…]
While the ship owners may well be providing an adequate, efficient and economic service for United Kingdom and European exporters and for some Australian exporters, I suggest that the figures I have quoted above cast some doubt on whether the same can be said for wool. [More…]
The fourth question 1 ask is: Why have we gone into the United Kingdom trade with only a container vessel? [More…]
The fact is that the British shipping interests have always enjoyed special advantages from the United Kingdom Government because shipping has always been a major earner from invisible exports. [More…]
I should like the Parliament to examine some of the legislation which has been introduced in the United Kingdom for the Race Relations Board. [More…]
Australia should follow the established practice in the United States of America and the United Kingdom of allowing interest costs paid by house buyers as a full income tax deduction. [More…]

The seriousness of what was happening with our trade with the United Kingdom and Europe first became clear in 1963. [More…]

Our exports to the United Kingdom reached their highest figure of $516m in 1964-65 but have declined since then. [More…]
We have a fantastically high level of goods imported from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Our imports from the United Kingdom are nearly twice the value of the goods that we sell to that market. [More…]
We are taking from the United Kingdom goods worth over $800m. [More…]
In addition to the position that the United Kingdom is in, there is the factor also of our changing markets. [More…]
It has allowed all its supporters in the country to walk into the trap that the declining and disappearing market in the United Kingdom in fact represents for them. [More…]
Australia continues to buy goods worth over $800m per annum from the United Kingdom at the same time as our sales to that country have been declining continuously. [More…]

For instance, the United Kingdom some 12 years ago introduced a plan of noise monitoring at Heathrow Airport and a large number of international airports have regulations affecting aircraft noise which are far more stringent than those currently in operation in Australia. [More…]
But, nevertheless, if we look at the universities, colleges and tertiary institutions in the United Kingdom we find a great deal more liberality in that direction titan is usually found in Australia; than in fact is probably characteristic of any of our Australian institutions. [More…]
In the United Kingdom - in England and Scotland specifically - local government has authority over education. [More…]
Yes, but where we have a local authority with a national government, as is the case in the United Kingdom, and grants are made, each local authority presses for its grant. [More…]
I refer in particular to the field of comprehensive schooling, something which is now widespread in this country following on its introduction longsince in the United States and then its fairly wholesale application under a Labour Government in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It appears that the Decca system is one of the most suitable systems, having been in operation in all areas of the United Kingdom for about 20 years. [More…]

In the United Kingdom there is a 13 per cent rise and it is getting worse. [More…]
Exactly the same thing happened in the United Kingdom when that country had a Labor government: We have to recognise the plain fact that in a capitalist system we have this phenomenon of constant shares and the only way the wage earner will ever get a bigger slice of the cake is for that cake to be bigger.

The present law is found in part in the common law, in part in old United Kingdom statute law of considerable antiquity, dating back to riot legislation of 1394, in the reign of King Richard II, and in laws of the States and Territories. [More…]
In four States and in the mainland Territories, United Kingdom statutes relating to riots are still in force. [More…]
In 1967, most of those statutes were repealed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]

The 2 major markets on the Continent - United Kingdom and the European Economic Community countries - are the biggest importers of pig meats in the world, but these 2 markets are the most difficult for Australia to break into. [More…]
This makes it most difficult for Australia to break into the 2 main traditional markets, the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
So if Australia follows the pattern of other developed countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom and the continental countries, we can expect to see a steady increase in the consumption of pig meats in Australia. [More…]

Since then other countries have had a higher growth rate in earnings ranging up to 11 per cent in France and 17 per cent in Japan, whilst labour productivity in Australia between 1961 and 1969 in the manufacturing industries rose by 4 per cent per annum, which was much better than that country we so slavishly follow in most things, the United States of America, which had an increases of 2.9 per cent and equal to the United Kingdom with 4 per cent and Canada with 3.9 per cent. [More…]
Are those honourable members aware that the first workers’ compensation Act that was brought down in the United Kingdom almost 100 years ago caused a wave of almost terror throughout the entire country because the workers in those days were led to believe that they would be out of jobs through the bringing down of an Act whose purpose was to protect the wage earner should he become injured on the job?

This policy is identical with the policies of the United Kingdom, France, Canada and other major nations. [More…]
In addition, there were some very good sales of wheat to the United Kingdom. [More…]

[More…]
The United States and the United Kingdom have introduced a system of major and minor roads which I honestly believe is better than our system of giving way to the right. [More…]
As to the second part of the honourable gentleman’s question, no written document was presented to us by the United Kingdom authorities. [More…]
The former Attorney-General said that these obsolete provisions had been repealed in the United Kingdom by the Criminal Law Act of 1967. [More…]
I hope he did not mean to imply that what this Bill achieves is anything like as significant as the United Kingdom reforms. [More…]
I have been to America, the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries, and I venture to suggest that this country is the freest for a citizen of all countries I have visited. [More…]

In fact, on one occasion when I used a figure of $ 10,000m as the deficit in the current account of our trade with the United States of America and the United Kingdom, one very good friend decided that this could not possibly be so and he reduced the amount to $ 1,000m. [More…]
We are now working out new defence arrangements between the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand and ourselves for that particular region. [More…]

We should move toward, first, the recognition of the People’s Republic of China; secondly, the representation of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations; and thirdly, resolving the political future of the peoples of Taiwan, lt would pay us well to keep in mind the words of a very great Foreign Secretary pf the United Kingdom in the 19th century, Lord Palmerston. [More…]
The United States had no magical achievements from not recognising China, and the United Kingdom had no magical achievements from recognising China. [More…]
I certainly intend during my visit to the EEC capitals and the United Kingdom to put before the people of those countries the serious impact Britain’s entry could have on these industries. [More…]
I am told that the general estimate of production prior to the placing of this limitation last year was that it would be considerably in excess of 220,000 tons and, as the honourable gentleman would know, there is real concern at the potential of the industry if the United Kingdom should enter into the European Economic Community. [More…]
Indeed the crux of some of the negotiations conducted by the Australian Government with the United Kingdom has been the difficulties that the dairying industry will face. [More…]
If we think that these people would have suddenly changed their character there is something wrong with the people of Australia, as there is something wrong with a section of the people of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government was guilty of appealing to the lower elements in many instances not only in Britain but in the international scene. [More…]
In his report on his study tour of pig production in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia, Holland and France in 1967, the eminent authority, Mr Vin Fagan, reported that in all these countries considerable sums of money were being expended on research in the field of nutrition of the commercial pig.

Various research programmes are being undertaken at the University of Leeds, the Rowett Research Institute in the United Kingdom and the Vollebeck Research Institute in Norway, but here in Australia we have not adopted a practice of pig meat grading. [More…]
Those students outside the sponsored and private student programmes were United Kingdom, Canadian and New Zealand nationals and dependants of temporary residents such as visiting overseas businessmen and diplomats. [More…]
For nearly 40 years the Tariff Board, in recommending protection, has had only two specific guidelines, both contained in commitments given in the 1932 and 1957 trade agreements with the United Kingdom. [More…]
These were that protection would be afforded only to those industries reasonably assured of sound opportunities for success; and that protection would not exceed a level which would give United Kingdom industry full opportunity for reasonable competition on the basis of the relative costs of ‘economic and efficient’ production. [More…]
These were that protection would be afforded only to those industries reasonably assured of sound opportunities for success; and that protection would not exceed a level which would give United Kingdom industry full opportunity for reasonable competition on the basis of the relative costs of ‘economic and efficient’ production. [More…]
They were laid down for the advantage of industry in the United Kingdom, not Australian industry. [More…]
These were guidelines which expressed a balance of economic power at the” time which was very much in the United Kingdom but not in Australia. [More…]
We were above only New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
From now on we will not be dealing with hard currency countries such as the United Kingdom where in certain cases we could sell our goods and receive currency. [More…]
We are in a world where the major countries, particularly the United States of America and the United Kingdom, are in a phase commonly called stagnation - stagnation in terms of an increase in productivity but with inflation continuing Australia is still heavily dependent upon an inflow of some $ 1,000m to $1,1 00m per annum of investment to balance our trade on current account. [More…]
We are drifting gradually from our old relations with Britain but I will not burden the House with the general lessening percentage of our trade with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The guide lines relating to trade agreements with the United Kingdom were endorsed again in 1957. [More…]
The second one is that protection would not exceed a level which would give United Kingdom industry full opportunity for reasonable competition on the basis of the relative costs of economic and efficient production. [More…]
As this agreement operates at the moment, if the British Board of Trade had said that it could provide this machine in the United Kingdom, although the crop was not even grown there, our innovator would have had to pay up the 7i per cent. [More…]
A company representative visited Europe, the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
But the British Board of Trade said that despite the fact that their own people were using imported machines the United Kingdom could provide a machine. [More…]
I wonder whether honourable members may have seen the article which appeared in the Press last week in which Dr Sheehan of the Australian National University compared the situation in the United States of America and the United Kingdom with the position in Western Germany. [More…]
He pointed out that deflationary policies had been introduced in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, I would like to refer to the United Kingdom experience over the selection of a site for a third airport for London. [More…]
Back in 1963 a Whitehall interdepartmental committee decided on an inland area called Stansted for the site of a third airport The British Government confirmed the decision in May 1967, but the citizens of the United Kingdom and private organisations did not like the decision that the Government had made. [More…]
The Noise Abatement Society of the United Kingdom presented a very detailed and very worthwhile report. [More…]
The United Kingdom enacted legislation for this purpose in 1964. [More…]

I think that the lack of technical education in the United Kingdom, or its late development, steadily dragged Britain back after 1851. [More…]
It is remarkable that in the United Kingdom, which is hard pressed and which is said to be in a bad way, on its knees, the Plowden report is to be implemented, and the Government is working steadfastly towards the end of achieving an enrolment of 90 per cent of the eligible children for pre-school education. [More…]
As I mentioned earlier the United Kingdom is giving effect to the Plowden report that pre-school training should be available to all children over 3 years of age. [More…]
In the near future the authorities in the United Kingdom expect to attain a 90 per cent response. [More…]
There are 2 large economic powers - the United Kingdom and the United States of America - which have substantial holdings and assets in Australia. [More…]
I think at present the combined equity of American and United Kingdom undertakings in Australia is somewhere in excess of $8,000m. [More…]
A comparison of this with the United Kingdom will show that the volume of transactions carried by this sort of organisation and by banking assistance is about one-third of the United Kingdom’s export trade. [More…]
We are inclined sometimes to think that we are still an outpost of Europe and that our traditional trading lines are with the United Kingdom and subsequently with the United States, when really our future lies in the expansion of trade in places such as Indonesia, South East Asia, the Philippines, India and other countries in that part of the world. [More…]
These achievements should not be overlooked and we should not be spending money in the United Kingdom on the purchase of rifles or machine guns when these weapons could be made in Australia. [More…]

He stood in this chamber last week and condemned the World Council of Churches over its deliberations in the United Kingdom and its report on the facts in South Africa as it saw them. [More…]
During the course of his speech the honourable member referred to the British people in a somewhat similar vein to that in which another member of the Australian Country Party referred to the people of the United Kingdom during the course of an earlier speech. [More…]
The honourable member should have made sure of his facts before going off in the manner in which he did because, at about the time that he was making his speech, reports of some of the meetings that had occurred between Mr Wilson, the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and Mr Smith of Rhodesia were being published in various London newspapers. [More…]
Honourable members on this side of the House have no quarrel with the honourable member on that aspect because of the fact that at the time Ramsay MacDonald forsook his principles - at the time he forgot where he came from and he joined the Tory Party - he was regarded as the boneless wonder of the United Kingdom.

I point out to the honourable member for Forrest (Mr Kirwan) and to the Deputy Leader of the Opposition that at this time squadrons are entering into the United Kingdom, based at Upper Heyford, which are squadrons of FI IIA aircraft acceptable to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation command. [More…]
He must admit that there is an established fact, of which the House can take notice, that these aircraft at the present time are operating from Upper Heyford, and the wings of aircraft will be within the next 12 months brought to full operational establishment and they will be then functioning from the United Kingdom, as I have said, under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation command. [More…]
I point out to the House, as I have done on many occasions previously, that the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Australia and New Zealand were the only countries that were considered by the United States Government to be possible purchasing powers for the Fill aircraft. [More…]
The only aircraft that looks like coming on the market is the Panavia multi-role combat aircraft, the development of which is a joint project of the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Germany. [More…]

We get the comparison with the United Kingdom, but in the United Kingdom one provincial salesman can go out and can cover a market of 5 million or 6 million people in a week. [More…]
I could not agree more with him, but we do not understand the Australian scene or the practice of resale price maintenance in the Australian scene sufficiently, or the practices in the United Kingdom or the United States. [More…]
We will never do that until we have something in the nature of a monopolies commission, as exists in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This is not true of France and is not true of the United Kingdom. [More…]
That is the kind of transactions involved, and the borrowings being arranged will not be from small individuals in the United Kingdom or the United States of America or from Euro-bond markets and so on, but will be from large institutional lenders, many of whom depend on quite a fine margin for the funds they raise as against the funds they lend.

ls the Minister aware that New Zealand growers of apples and pears pay 70c a case less than Tasmanian growers for apples and pears shipped to Europe and the United Kingdom because they are using shipping outside the conference lines? [More…]
However I am conscious of the difficult situation that the Tasmanian apple industry is facing and the rather grim prospects it has in view of the present arrangements that have been made between the United Kingdom and European countries regarding Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community.

British Leaders of the Opposition have been to Moscow, but they have always supported the position of the United Kingdom Government. [More…]

One of the major factors which will impinge upon our trade over the next few years is the decision by the United Kingdom to seek to enter the European Common Market. [More…]
If we face the restriction on our markets in Europe following the entry of the United Kingdom into the EEC, we will need to place increasing reliance on our established ties with Japan, and we must attempt to ensure that this relationship is developed as much as possible. [More…]
If the United Kingdom join the EEC then Australia will be on its own. [More…]
We will no longer have our special trade relationship with the United Kingdom which has proved so valuable to us since the 1930s. [More…]

I ask the Treasurer: What are the latest statistics of the amount of Australian foreign exchange reserves held in the United Kingdom and the United States? [More…]
Do the arrangements still operate for the retention of certain Australian foreign exchange reserves by the United Kingdom negotiated by a former United Kingdom Prime Minister as a buttress for a loan to the United Kingdom by major financial institutions? [More…]
The principal market opportunities for the forthcoming year would seem to be the United Kingdom, Greece, Canada, the United States of America and Japan. [More…]

[More…]
Since Federation there have been changes in the rules on privilege in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom but still we have to go back to many of the rules it laid down at the time of the Commonwealth Federation. [More…]
Some democracies, for example, the United Slates and the United Kingdom, have of course realised this and have acted accordingly, but Australia’s Liberal Government, because of its deep seated paternalistic attitude to non-British people and especially to non-whites, has not. [More…]
Whether people like it or not, we are fast coming to the end of any meaningful special relationship with the United Kingdom. [More…]
None of these observations is intended to be unfriendly to the United Kingdom; to make them is merely to acknowledge reality. [More…]
I understand and respect the United Kingdom’s decision to go into Europe. [More…]
However, the termination of any special relationship with the United Kingdom requires that we should take certain consequential steps. [More…]
He indicated in his annual address to the Fabian Society of the United Kingdom in 1969 that the Labour Government showed a perennial disability to deal with 16262/71- Jt-121) the excesses of demand in the British economy and so that economy floundered. [More…]
The old English method of protecting the liberty of the subject which is still in force in the United Kingdom is that where the liberty of the subject is involved a Minister must be responsible and answerable to the representatives of the people in the Parliament. [More…]
Very briefly, in a study made by Dr J. S. Lawson, Director of Hospital Services in Tasmania, it is revealed that the operation rates for tonsillectomy, appendicectomy and hysterectomy in Australia are 2 to 3 times higher than in the United Kingdom or in areas of the United States of America where doctors are on salaries instead of fee for service. [More…]
In some areas in the United Kingdom and the United States of America doctors are on fee-for-service but much lower rates apply than those that apply in Australia, where all doctors are on fee for service. [More…]
We have seen what has occurred in the United Kingdom when a Labour Prime Minister had to deflate the economy because of the execssive demands by wage earners, who represent 90 per cent of the people, for increased wages and better conditions. [More…]
What is the unemployment situation in the United Kingdom today? [More…]
The latest figures I have been able to get shaw that there are 904,000 people unemployed in the United Kingdom, representing 3.7 per cent of the work force, simply because they have priced themselves out of their regular markets. [More…]
What is happening in the United Kingdom and America is that the people are able to buy goods cheaper from the low cost producing countries. [More…]
What happened to that once great Rolls-Royce company in the United Kingdom? [More…]
The workers there, because of the actions of the union bosses, were on strike for 4 or 5 months last year, lt was the intention of the Ford administration in America to pump $40m into the Dagenham plant in the United Kingdom to make sure it was brought up to date so that it would be able to compete with the French, the Germans and the Japanese. [More…]
We have learned from the experience of the United Kingdom, France, Canada and the United States of America that collective bargaining just does not work. [More…]

Whilst the PREI has exempted the ‘Alunga’ and, T think, the ship on the container run to the United Kingdom, it has not exempted the ship running to Japan. [More…]
Referring to the comments of Professor Harry Johnson in the United Kingdom the article in essence seems to me to state that just as it was thought many years ago that a country could export its unemployment in pre-Keynesian days, now what can be exported is inflation. [More…]
His shameful failure to put such figures into a proper context serves to demonstrate the measure of his failure to compare economic conditions in Australia with those in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the continent of Europe. [More…]
So far as our foreign relations are concerned, we should obviously cling to our old friends, the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom may indeed be strengthened by her association with Europe and this combination may be another force in the world in the course of time. [More…]

I will not delay the House by giving a completely comprehensive analysis of the whole of the trends in the dairy industry, but let me say that the United Kingdom has always been the principal market in the world for dairy products. [More…]
In fact, I understand that annual imports of butter into the United Kingdom amount to approximately 430,000 tons. [More…]
The honourable gentleman asked me a question about the effect of competition from margarine on market demands for butter in the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I understand the position, since prices for butter have risen in the United Kingdom - and today they stand at about Stg480 per ton, which is a very high figure - the general consumption of butter has fallen by about 16 per cent and the consumption of margarine has risen by about 18 per cent. [More…]
In the United Kingdom over the same 8-year period unemployment has averaged 2.1 per cent. [More…]
He is a man who commands a great deal of respect in Labour circles, although certainly I myself would not share a number of the views which he has set forth: But this is what he said about recent experience in the United Kingdom and his comments bear repetition in Australia: [More…]
nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government. [More…]
In this category we have Costa Rica, Czechoslovakia, France, Iraq, Jamaica, Luxembourg, the Philippines, Poland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and others. [More…]
For example, the United Kingdom has reciprocal arrangements with Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, the Irish Republic, Israel, Italy, Jersey and Guernsey, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United States of America and Yugoslavia. [More…]
Let me tell the house the countries with which we have a reciprocal arrangement, and there is no need to hold one’s breath because they are New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
They show that as a proportion of gross national product - that is, the value of all the goods and services any country produces in a year - Denmark spends 20.S per cent on its health and social welfare programme, the Federal Republic of Germany spends 18 per cent, Sweden spends Hi per cent, France spends 16.8 per cent, Italy spends 1S.8 per cent - honourable members will be wondering where Australia comes - the Netherlands spends 13.3 per cent, the United Kingdom spends 11.2 per cent, Norway spends 10.2 per cent, Canada spends 10.7 per cent and Australia spends 7 per cent. [More…]
Countries like Canada, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Malta, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Sweden, in certain limited circumstances, allow their people to take their pensions with them if they go to live in another country. [More…]
It is demonstrable in the United Kingdom that under the British Labour Government the proportion of households existing at a poverty level, taken from an analysis of the Fabian Society, increased and ended up at a level between 11 per cent and 14 per cent depending on the type of analysis. [More…]
Exports of Australian wool to the United States of America, Italy, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands fell by over 40 per cent in comparison with exports in 1969-70. [More…]
We are fortified by the fact that just this has been done in the United Kingdom. [More…]

Steps similar to those taken in the United Kingdom and in the process of being taken in the United States of America are necessary. [More…]
The Post Office Corporation in the United Kingdom commenced operations on 1st October 1969. [More…]
But as I mentioned earlier, there was no acknowledgement of the difficulties that have confronted corporations established both in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. [More…]
Another area which is not of such great significance but which is a constant cause of annoyance, especially to migrants, is the fact that there is no second class mail rate for air mail to continential countries, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
Will we join countries like Finland, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States in massive aid to countries with their population planning? [More…]
United Kingdom, the United States and in other countries endorse the fact that there is a necessity for tracking stations to track the satellites of the Soviet and of other countries which are operating in our air space. [More…]
When the former Minister for External Affairs and former honourable member for Forrest, Mr Gordon Freeth - the present Ambassador to Japan - introduced his infamous new Government line on the proposed Soviet security treaty in the Indian Ocean, etc., in 1969, I was the first in this Parliament to place on record strong criticism of our linking ourselves in any way in a security treaty with the Soviet Union, just as I criticised our involvement with the United States of America in Vietnam and our involvement with the United Kingdom in the Malaysian-Indonesian crisis. [More…]
I understand that that was the practice followed in the United Kingdom, but whatever is the final solution the problem is certainly very complicated. [More…]
Australia’s rate of inflation has not been as great as that of such countries as Japan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and New Zealand. [More…]
If the Government still believes in the usefulness of such vessels, and probably there is a continuing usefulness of the aircraft carrier for the pursuit of submarines, it is about time the Government started looking at the purchase of another aircraft carrier, possibly one of those much more modern British carriers which may or may not continue in service for the United Kingdom. [More…]
At present 950,000 people are unemployed in the United Kingdom and several millions are out of work in the United States of America. [More…]
For example, let me refer to an article by Dr Elfyn Richards, Vice-Chancellor of Loughborough University of Technology, Loughborough, in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I grant that the majority of Australians are still in favour of the tour, but when one recognises that only a short 6 months ago 85 per cent of Australians supported the tour and now it is down to 63 per cent, at this rate it will not be long before the figures reach the 50-50 level, as occurred in the United Kingdom. [More…]
the 100 MW enriched uranium unit at Winfrith in the United Kingdom; and [More…]
With the possible loss of our assured market to the United Kingdom, there is a greater need than ever to have orderly international marketing arrangements for dairy products, and we will certainly push ahead to try to achieve this. [More…]
We despair because they seem not to see that we are suffering from a classic case of stagflation - that is inflationary stagnation or stagnation with inflation; an economic illness which has overtaken the United States and the United Kingdom, among other countries, in recent years. [More…]
I am reinforced in my views by what 1 have learnt of the views of the Right Honourable Aubrey Jones, formerly a Minister in Conservative governments in the United Kingdom and more recently Chairman of Labor Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s Prices and Incomes Board which attempted unsuccessfuly to implement an incomes policy in Great Britain to overcome stagflation. [More…]
We have to look at the ways the United Kingdom, the United States and Western Europe have tackled these great rural problems which have overtaken us 20 years later than them. [More…]
Experience in the United Kingdom and the United States of America in recent years indicates that inflation and unemployment gallop along together. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government took drastic steps some months ago to stimulate the economy after dampening it down. [More…]
My question, which is directed to the Prime Minister, relates to reports of intelligence operations in the United Kingdom by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
Whilst our security people are in close, almost daily, contact with the security service of the United Kingdom we have not yet received a full report of the reasons why the 105 citizens of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have been expelled from or prevented from coming back to the United Kingdom. [More…]
What I can say is that as far as Australia is concerned the Government cannot at the moment see any direct relationship between operations of espionage and even sabotage in the United Kingdom by members of the Soviet diplomatic corps and Australia. [More…]
These techniques have been applied effectively in the United Kingdom and there is no reason why they should not be used here to increase acceptance rate of applicants for the Army. [More…]
The days have gone when we could have an army of 28,000 men because we knew that any instant we could have the United States of America or the United Kingdom with us. [More…]
We know that the United Kingdom may try to put a task force into this area. [More…]
The Minister for Defence in particular included references to the important need for Australia to develop air defences - that was not entirely backward thinking in 1936 - and to the fact that it was evident even at that time that Australia could not expect assistance from the United Kingdom in the event of any future war and would have to look elsewhere. [More…]
The then Minister ridiculed the suggestion that the United Kingdom would not be able to come to our aid. [More…]
The United Kingdom has always come to our aid and will always be there in the future, were the ringing words of confidence before this House. [More…]
For that reason, since the major withdrawal of British forces from this area, Australia has entered into an agreement not only with the United Kingdom but also with other small countries of the region for our mutual security - the Five Power Agreement. [More…]
Comparisons have been made by some people with the United Kingdom and Canada which have no compulsory national service. [More…]
The Minister for Defence (Mr Fairbairn) referred to the fact that the United Kingdom and Canada have no national service. [More…]
Because of the efforts of Malaysia, aided by the United Kingdom forces, the confrontation was overcome. [More…]

A brochure has been produced by a similar organisation overseas, known as the Exports Credits Guarantee Department of the United Kingdom. [More…]
This brochure explains that a system such as the one which is now proposed in this Bill has been in force in the United Kingdom since 1961 and has been most successful in its operation. [More…]
They show that about one-third of the United Kingdom’s export trade is actually carried on under guarantees of one kind or another which are given by ECGD. [More…]
I suppose one could observe that there certainly are differences between the export trade of a country such as Australia and that of the United Kingdom. [More…]
By comparison with the United Kingdom, a far higher proportion of Australia’s exports is still of the consumer goods type, namely, goods that are likely to be used in the same year or within a short period of purchase. [More…]
I refer to the fact that it has been highly successful in respect of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I draw attention to the fact that in that country it has been extended not only to cover what might be described as the physical side of things but also to encourage financial transactions between developed countries, such as the United Kingdom, and underdeveloped areas in South East Asia or wherever they may be. [More…]
I refer again to the fact that the business of buyers’ policy has been operative in the United Kingdom since 1961. [More…]
The honourable member referred to the high proportion of United Kingdom trade covered by the Exports Credits Guarantee Department in Britain. [More…]
The article quotes 2 aviation economists from the Exeter University in the United Kingdom, M. H. Cooper and A. K. Maynard, as saying that the only certain result of the IATA cartel - which, incidentally, is keeping up air fares all around the world with the result that aircraft are flying backwards and forwards across the Pacific one-third full - is high costs, low load factors and expensive new aircraft. [More…]
That the Commonwealth Parliament has acted to remove some inadequacies in the Australian education system; a major inadequacy at present in Australian education is the lack of equal education opportunity for all; more than 500,000 children suffer from serious lack of equal opportunity: Australia cannot afford to waste the talents of one sixth of its school children; only the Commonwealth has the financial resources for special programmes to remove inadequacies; and nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government. [More…]
That the Commonwealth Parliament has acted to remove some inadequacies in the Australian education system; a major inadequacy at present in Australian education is the lack of equal education opportunity for all; more than 300,000 children suffer from serious lack of equal opportunity; Australia cannot afford to waste the talents of one sixth of its school children; only the Commonwealth has the financial resources for special programmes to remove inadequacies; and nations such as the United Kingdom and the United States have shown that the chief impetus for change and the finance for improvement come from the National Government. [More…]
Mr Speaker, 1 wish to inform the House that the Minister for Shipping and Transport (Mr Nixon) left Australia on 1st October for the United Kingdom and Europe to attend a meeting of the Intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organisation. [More…]
I would remind honourable members that the Chifley Government during the time of Britain’s crisis put through United Kingdom aid Acts amounting to 45 m in the days when the basic wage was 4 5s a week. [More…]
As regards future marketing prospects, today the United Kingdom is our principal export market. [More…]
There are important markets in West Germany, Sweden and South East Asia, but I think one can and should assume for purposes of reconstruction and rehabilitation that the United Kingdom market is most shaky and by all accounts will probably disappear. [More…]
The spectre of everincreasing freight rates and of the United Kingdom’s impending entry into the European Common Market hangs over the entire horticultural industries of Australia. [More…]
The latest 22i per cent increase in freight rates to the United Kingdom, or if you like 24 per cent on another way of reckoning, means the grower will lose an extra 51c a case. [More…]
We must have recognised and selected agents to handle the export of our fruit and its marketing at the United Kingdom and Continent end. [More…]
There is no doubt that trade will shift from Europe to Asia in the next few years when the United Kingdom joins the Common Market. [More…]
Three weeks ago I sent to the Minister representing the industry and exporters in my State a telegram in which I drew attention to this fact and to the fact that increased costs on freight alone of 24 per cent - for instance, on the Europe-United Kingdom conference - was greater than any benefit that averaged out in any of the 18 varietal pools. [More…]
3 ports to Europe and the United Kingdom is the next highest exporter of apples. [More…]
The old English 1 was worth 25s Australian when we received the returns for fruit sold in the United Kingdom. [More…]
If you add the shipping and marketing charges which come to $3.33 the total cost is $6.24 which the grower must receive in the United Kingdom before he makes a penny for himself. [More…]
The freight to the United Kingdom is $2.23 per carton. [More…]
The person who sells the carton in the United Kingdom gets 85c. [More…]
returns and has no relation to shipping and marketing charges in the United Kingdom and on the Continent. [More…]
I simply ask: How many people in the United Kingdom can afford to pay $6.24 for a carton of Tasmanian apples, and this charge is soon to be increased to almost $7 if the freight increase is to apply? [More…]
That IDA has been able to continue its lending activities since July has been largely due to the fact that a number of countries, including Canada, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Japan and Yugoslavia, have responded to this request and agreed to make such voluntary contributions to IDA. [More…]
The United Kingdom takes about 55 per cent of our export apples, which are admitted duty free. [More…]
But competition from our main rivals South Africa and New Zealand has intensified, and Great Britain’s possible entry into the European Economic Community will mean not only the loss of our concessional entry into the United Kingdom but also the impositionof tariffs on our imports, with the removal of tariffs on exports from the EEC countries. [More…]
slack that will arise in the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
I stress that it costs approximately $6.24 to put a case of apples on sale in England, that is, from the Australian grower to the shop in the United Kingdom, but of this, $3.33 is eaten up in shipping and marketing charges. [More…]
There is no doubt that this would strengthen Australia in its exploitation of present markets and its pursuit of new markets which will be needed in particular if the United Kingdom enters the European Economic Community. [More…]
In my remarks on the Budget, I mentioned the problems that are besetting the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada. [More…]
By this I mean that America, the United Kingdom and the members of the European Economic Community make decisions which have a greater impact on what happens in Australia than in their own countries. [More…]
The United Kingdom $7.lm and the United States of America $70.5m. [More…]
I would mention that in the United Kingdom - we claim to model ourselves on the Parliament of Westminister which of course we do not - not only is there a Public Accounts Committee but also an Estimates Committee. [More…]
I endorse the words of the honourable member for Berowra but I go further and say that I believe we would be quite wrong to ignore the new fields of taxation being opened in terms of the European Common Market and the future thinking of the United Kingdom insofar as a value added tax is concerned. [More…]
America, closely followed by the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia and Canada. [More…]
If we look at the United States of America, the United Kingdom or Western Europe, we find that all of those countries have had to undergo very serious rural reconstruction. [More…]
For reasons 1 shall come to and for some other reasons that none of us know the price of that product has now dropped in such a way that we are in the same position as those in the rural industries in the United Kingdom, the United States and, to a great extent, Western Europe. [More…]
So my one short message in the short time at my disposal is: Let us look at the way in which the United Kingdom, Western Europe and the United States have had to grapple with the subject of rural reconstruction. [More…]
In the last 5 years we have had a deficit in the balance on current account with the United Kingdom of $2,892m and with the United States of more than $3,000m. [More…]
The overall position of the deficit in the balance on the current account with the United Kingdom during the period 1950-51 to 1969-70 was more than $7,000m and with the United States during this period it was more than $6,500m - a combined total of more than $ 13,500m and yet during this period our overall deficit was only S9,000m. [More…]
As mentioned by the honourable member for Reid (Mr Uren), over the period of 20 years since 1950-51, the United Kingdom has a credit of $7,500 and the United States of America a credit for $6,500 on current account. [More…]
When we trade with the United Kingdom and the United States, at least we are doing something to implement the 2-way street policy. [More…]
But why has the Government not reminded the United States and the United Kingdom of their reciprocal obligation because both have been living off our backs as far as trade is concerned for the last 2 decades? [More…]
I believe that if we want to implement the proper tariff policy we must do so in relation to the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The same thing applies to the United Kingdom. [More…]
This was a most important statement on the United Kingdom levies on imports of agricultural commodities. [More…]
I asked the Minister for Trade and Industry a question in the House , on 1 6th February 1971 in relation to trade with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom-Australia Trade Agreement has been renewed on a 6-mon.thIy basis each year since 1957. [More…]
I ask: In view of the failure of the Australian Apple and Pear Board to negotiate acceptable shipping freight rates to the United Kingdom and Europe with the interested consortium of ship-owning companies, and the ability of West Australian growers to make such acceptable arrangements due to the geographical advantages of Western Australia in relation to these markets, why is the Minister refusing permission to West Australian interests to proceed with arrangements for shipping the West Australian crop? [More…]
He was a member of the United Kingdom Law Commission’s Advisory Panel on the codification of the law of contract. [More…]
The results of investigations in the United Kingdom suggest that in that area at any rate there could well be a case for saying that most progress is made by students in classes of a size that perhaps would not be acceptable in this country. [More…]
I believe that we will increase the scientific activities of the Commonwealth Government or of the CSIRO in the fields of secondary industry if we use the expression ‘science and technology’ as is done in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The honourable member may not know that when the Open University was established in the United Kingdom 1 am advised that the British visited the University of New England to gain experience or learn from the experience that that university had had in establishing quite excellent external studies courses. [More…]
There are failure rates in our universities for a whole variety of reasons and these rates are significantly higher than in many other countries, and much higher than in the United Kingdom where the opportunity for a university education is very much less than it is in Australia. [More…]
While it took United Kingdom settlers in Australia 10 years to reach the Australian average of 77 per cent of the community being covered, in 10 years only 53 per cent of Greeks and Italians were enrolled in a health insurance organisation. [More…]
In a period of less than 4 years only 51 per cent of United Kingdom settlers were insured, while the percentage of Greeks and Italians was less than 37 per cent. [More…]
Strangely enough this announcement of a reduction in the quota was made not in this country but in London by a Mr Hay- ward who formerly held an executive position in the Greater Union movie house chain which is half owned by the Rank Organisation of the United Kingdom, lt was reported that Mr Hayward had been carrying out investigations connected with the film industry on behalf of the Government of New South Wales and had been seen at Greater Unions’ London office. [More…]
experience in the United States of America and the United Kingdom, where these trading stamp schemes are at present in full blast, is that it adds something between 2 per cent and 4 per cent to the price of goods in the long run . [More…]
At page 3959 of Victorian Hansard he quoted from a United Kingdom report. [More…]
It has been announced only today that the United Kingdom has stepped up its construction programme to deal with this growing threat. [More…]
Finally, I would say this: We do from time to time have sophisticated warships from the United Kingdom and the United States visiting our shores. [More…]
The reason my predecessor went to the Government, as I understand it, was that there is legislation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Although relatively, it does not import large quantities of raw wool it does import very large quantities of woollen products, particularly from Japan, Italy, Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, which is the headquarters of the Secretariat, the people involved there have not been idle in respect to either the promotion or research side of wool. [More…]
It was originated at the Geelong research centre of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and it is now being implemented in various parts of the world including Ilkley, near Bradford in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is woven and we are able to send the finished product to markets outside of Australia such as Hong Kong, America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
What requests or suggestions were made by the Ministers for legislative or administrative action by (a) the United Kingdom (Hansard, 26th August 1970, page 566), (b) the Commonwealth, (c) the Territories, and (d) the States. [More…]
Will the Acting Prime Minister enlighten us, as indeed the Prime Minister has failed to enlighten the nation, as to what are the specific purposes of the Prime Minister’s trip to the United States and the United Kingdom other than window dressing for party political purposes? [More…]
A time when Britain is about to make a decision on whether she will enter the European Economic Community is certainly a time when our Prime Minister ought to be having discussions with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Also there have been some quite marked changes in tax legislation in Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
It seems to me that perhaps the banks have not been aggressive enough in seeking competition, and I would commend to the attention of the House a statement that I received the other day, a British Information Service news release dated 13th September 1971 on what ware called the new United Kingdom credit control arrangements in which banks are free to compete against each other as far as interest rates are concerned. [More…]
It appears that this legislation is related to banks incorporated in Australia, yet I am advised that one of the major banks, namely the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd, is incorporated in the United Kingdom and, therefore, on the face of it would not be subject to control. [More…]
We should have a good look at that, because the more we look at the United Kingdom the more we see that it is no longer interested in. [More…]
If we read the recent speech by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom addressing his own party on the advantages to the Government that he is leading of Britain’s entry into the European Common Market we see that Australia does not get one mention. [More…]
The facts are that the vast majority of shares in the ANZ banking group are held by residents of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Finally, in regard to a matter raised by the honourable member for Riverina (Mr Grassby) prior to the dinner adjournment concerning the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, the only major bank to which the Bill will not apply is that bank, which is incorporated in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited savings bank subsidiary will be subject to the Bill, since the savings bank is deemed to be incorporated in Australia by recent United Kingdom and Victorian legislation. [More…]
We must draw a comparison with a country of comparable standards of living and perhaps greater responsibilities - the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has given Stg37m which is almost exactly $A80m. [More…]
The United Kingdom has 4 times our population and on the same basis of giving, the Australian contribution would have been $20m. [More…]
The United Kingdom refugee aid is $US37m, not pounds sterling. [More…]
The United Kingdom gave $7. [More…]
and (3) During the financial year 1970-71, 87,449 of the 170,011 settlers who arrived in Australia last resided in countries other than the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Malta, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. [More…]
Thereafter I went to France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland and Japan. [More…]
For some other countries, such as the United Kingdom, the proportion is even higher. [More…]
Unemployment is running in the region of about 6 per cent in the United States, about 7 per cent in Canada, and over 3i per cent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
But as soon as one hears that policy being advocated one recalls that the last government of which Opposition members would have some experience and which tried artificially to implement cheap interest rates was the United Kingdom Government in which the celebrated Dr Dalton had some influence. [More…]
If Opposition members want to copy the kind of monetary and fiscal policies which were utilised by United Kingdom Labour Governments after the Second World War, let them do so, but we will expose the other ingredients contained in that interest rate and explain the fiscal, monetary and broad overall economic policy involved. [More…]
The experience in the United Kingdom of recent years is only too well known. [More…]
The countries which I chose were Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
I could have selected any other 5 countries to make a comparison with Australia but I chose Canada and New Zealand as countries of immigration, Japan and the United Kingdom as countries of intense manufacturing industry and as countries which have not increased their population through migration, and I chose the United States of America both as a highly intensive manufacturing country and as a country which still attracts migrants in reasonable numbers. [More…]
As a matter of interest, the increases were: Canada 3.4 per cent, Australia 3.9 per cent, United States 5.9 per cent, the United Kingdom 6.4 per cent, New Zealand 6.6 per cent and Japan 7.7 per cent. [More…]
The figures for this year show that the percentage of the work force registered for employment in the 5 countries are: Japan 1.3 per cent, Australia 1.7 per cent, United Kingdom 3.1 per cent, United States of America 6.2 per cent and Canada 7.1 per cent. [More…]
No figures are available for Japan, New Zealand or the United Kingdom, but the last year for which figures are available for those countries indicate that they showed a net migration loss. [More…]
Countries that provide a pension for people who go overseas include Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Malta, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
We cannot afford to permit to continue the return of a large percentage of migrants to the United Kingdom and to other countries. [More…]
My question is to the Acting Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry and refers to statements by him that United Kingdom entry into the European Common Market means a drastic revision of the preferential rate of tariff applied to British goods entering Australia. [More…]
Why is it that it must necessarily mean further increasing the price of British goods in Australia and almost certainly increasing the price of goods from other countries once these commodities are not compelled to meet the competition of the presently less costly imports from the United Kingdom? [More…]
Finally, does the Minister recognise that talking about the drastic effects of the United Kingdom decision is not of any material assistance to exporting industries; that what they need is relief from the merciless cost pressures they are endeavouring to absorb? [More…]
In view of the disastrous condition of a number of primary industries and the Australian economy I ask the Acting Prime Minister in his capacity of Minister for Trade and Industry to tell the House what action the Government is taking to deal with the trade problems which will follow the United Kingdom’s decision to join the European Economic Community. [More…]
The United Nations Year Book of National Account Statistics published in 1969 shows the following figures which represent the percentage of personal income tax to gross national product of which Australia is the lowest: Australia 8.9 per cent; New Zealand 12.9 per cent; United States of America 16.3 per cent; Canada 12 per cent; United Kingdom 15.9 per cent; West Germany 18.8 per cent; France 19.3 per cent; and Belgium 17.8 per cent. [More…]
On an income of $10,000 a year an Australian is paying 29 per cent in income tax compared to 27 per cent in the United Kingdom, 15 per cent in the United States of America, 11 per cent in South Africa, 19 per cent in Canada and only 11 per cent in France. [More…]
This compared with 45.4c in France, 40.4c in West Germany, 33.76c in Canada, 24.9c in the United Kingdom and 24.7c in New Zealand. [More…]
These figures represent cash social service benefits and do not take into account non cash benefits including the free health scheme in the United Kingdom and the near free health scheme and the free dental care scheme for children under 16 years of age in New Zealand. [More…]
The Government is about to follow the United States of America and the Tory government in the United Kingdom in abandoning the goal of full employment. [More…]
The United Kingdom authorities have been kept acquainted df it. [More…]
I ask the Acting Prime Minister whether Sir John McEwen, as Minister for Trade and Industry, made a statement in the Parliament on 28th October 1970 on United Kingdom levies on imports of Australian agricultural commodities? [More…]
Will the Acting Prime Minister give this Parliament as a matter of urgency the opportunity to debate his statement and those of his predecessor on trade, particularly with the United Kingdom, and the implications for this country of the British decision to enter the European Economic Community, or does he intend to leave Australia’s interests, particularly with the EEC countries, to Mr Heath and his Government while denying the opportunity to this Parliament to debate in detail and at length this important matter to this nation? [More…]
Then we move down with a sickening rush to the United Kingdom with 4.97 per cent, Canada with 3.88 per cent, Japan with 3.69 per cent and France with 3.53 per cent. [More…]
Hundreds of people have been leaving Australia and flying to Singapore in the economy seats of Qantas, climbing out of those seats, getting into sub-standard chartered aircraft and flying to the United Kingdom for one-quarter of the price. [More…]
While a passenger who is not committed to fixed date travel can obtain, by answering an advertisement in a newspaper, a $464 discount on the Qantas return fare to the United Kingdom, he will not travel on Qantas. [More…]
Many people of our own acquaintance these days travel on the normal air routes only as far as Singapore and then take charter flights at least as far as Brussels and sometimes into Gatwick or even into Heath Row if they are going to the United Kingdom. [More…]
There is, however, a definite need for a low-priced individual excursion fare for travel between Australia and the United Kingdom and Continental Europe, ft is proposed to press for a new class of fare of this type, for travellers who meet certain requirements, when the IATA traffic conferences meet in September this year to negotiate fares to be applied from 1 April 1972. [More…]
There are 2 groups of discussions, one for the Pacific region which includes principally Australia, Canada, the United States and Japan with observers from the European Economic Community countries and the United Kingdom and the other for the European countries. [More…]
In the United Kingdom over the same 8-year period, unemployment has averaged 2.1 per cent. [More…]
The privileges of this Parliament are, as they are spelt out in the Constitution, those of the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom until such time as they are otherwise defined. [More…]
I believe that there is now a greater urgency with respect to this having regard to the fact that the United Kingdom is going to enter the European Economic Community. [More…]
The whole of the parliamentary system in the United Kingdom will undergo a fundamental change. [More…]
To the extent that there is a change in the United Kingdom, I believe, our position will be influenced. [More…]
If we do not define privileges for ourselves, if we allow the privileges of this Parliament to be those of the United Kingdom, then if those are influenced or shaped in any way, ours will be. [More…]
The article points out also that it is plainly evident from statistics issued by the United Kingdom Chamber of Shipping that dry cargo owners are refraining from laying up their vessels in spite of the losses now being incurred on many voyages. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government, for instance, has published a number of substantial White Papers on the subject of fuel. [More…]
At times we are told that the Government should do this because Canada does it or it should do that because the United Kingdom does it, and so on. [More…]
The United Kingdom, the European Economic Community, the United States and Japan have all given this matter a deal of attention. [More…]
As I have suggested, over the years our association with the United Kingdom made it certain that we had - and perhaps still should have - very close links. [More…]
I find that more than 1,100 personnel are employed in Australia House while Canada, which is almost the same size as Australia, seems to manage quite well with a staff of 500, and New Zealand, which is smaller than Australia but which obviously put its case forcibly and practically to the United Kingdom concerning the European Economic Community, has a staff of 320. [More…]
The balance of them are local people from the United Kingdom. [More…]
It sends to the United Kingdom approximately 220 Service personnel each year, much the same number as Australia sends. [More…]
Five years ago 25 per cent of Australian exports went to the United Kingdom. [More…]
what are the specific purposes of the Prime Minister’s trip to the United States and the United Kingdom other than window dressing for Party political purposes? [More…]
What a cheek the honourable member for Adelaide had in referring to the trip of the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) to the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
He should have gone with the Minister for Trade and Industry (Mr Anthony) when Britain’s entry into the European Common Market was being negotiated by Mr Rippon on behalf of the United Kingdom Government wilh the Six in Europe. [More…]
Our representation in the United Kingdom is a sideshow for the Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
Each of the Services maintains its own representation in the United Kingdom and these representatives have a very important role to play. [More…]
The argument of the honourable member for Balaclava (Mr Whittorn) was that as the proportion of our sales, as it were, to the United Kingdom was dropping, there could be a diminution of our sales staff. [More…]
The Prime Minister will visit the United Kingdom and I am sure that even the honourable member for Dawson, with his criticisms of the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Sinclair), would agree that there have been few times in the history of our relations with the United Kingdom when it has been more important for the leader of our country to have discussions with the leader of the United Kingdom than at this time when momentous decisions are being made for the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
I would not have chosen those words myself but I think any reasonable person would agree that compared with the super powers, and even the great powers of the United Kingdom and France, Australia is, in terms of numbers and in terms of might, relatively insignificant. [More…]
The shipowners have now withdrawn the offer and at present there are no arrangements for lifting the 1972 export crop for the United Kingdom and the Continent. [More…]
If, for instance, it was from $3 to $1.25 orless per bushel, the loss incurred to the industry can be shown thus: On the local market, a total of 2 million bushels at $1.25 per bushel, giving a total loss of $2.5m; on the United Kingdom and continental market, a total loss of $4m making an estimated total industry loss of $6.5m. [More…]
I understand that there has been a cut down of about 20 per cent in the steel industry in Japan, and I have seen reports of trading losses made in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
The rights of occupancy of the Air Force base, Butterworth, were transferred by the United Kingdom authorities to the Malaysian Government on and from 1st April 1970. [More…]
The debate on integration and restructuring which has made defence organisation more effective and economic in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and western Europe has barely touched Australia. [More…]
This is an a fortiori argument as far as the United Kingdom is concerned. [More…]
If the United Kingdom goes into the Common Market then the political identity of that country in the years to come will succumb and be lost within the framework of a European federation. [More…]
The United Kingdom is withdrawing from the MalaysiaSingapore area. [More…]
At the present moment the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) has just left the United States, and in the United Kingdom he has been doing some campaigning for the next, election. [More…]
I am also firmly convinced that whether or not the United Kingdom enters the European Economic Community, the forces of the United Kingdom will be available to defend Australia in the rare circumstances of Australia being attacked without there being a global war in progress. [More…]
On the matter of the training of people in the higher ranks of our defence forces, apparently Australia still looks to other countries, chiefly the United Kingdom, in regard to its most senior training. [More…]
Honourable members and the public need to be more fully informed of these matter by statements in the Parliament, not in pronouncements made at a luncheon or Press conference in the United States of America or in the United Kingdom, which has been the recent practice of our absent Prime Minister (Mr McMahon). [More…]
The honourable member for Barton (Mr Reynolds) said that the United Kingdom and Canada were able to obtain recruits without compulsory national service. [More…]
The United Kingdom has reduced its commitments enormously but that country has had a tradition over the centuries of fathers, sons and grandsons joining the same regiment. [More…]
The United Kingdom is spending 8.6 per cent. [More…]
They have asked for reciprocal rights in respect of social services which other British citizens, such as those in the United Kingdom, receive. [More…]
If honourable members will look at the level of our social services and compare them with the social services available in the United Kingdom, for example, they will see that they compare very yell indeed for the individual. [More…]
The United Kingdom, of course, has been interested since Captain Stirling, after whom it is named, first described it as a very important site for naval strategy in the whole of this area and the Indian Ocean. [More…]
His television set shows him California, other parts of the United States, London and other parts of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It became a statutory corporation following a report to a Labour government in the United Kingdom on the nationalised industries in that country. [More…]
Targets were set in relation to the Post Office in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It shows that there was a loss of Stg62m in the postal services conducted by the statutory corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I suggest to honourable members opposite that they should have a very close look at what has happened in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The growers will have to get at least $6.40 a case in the United Kingdom and elsewhere to break even. [More…]
Let me inform the Minister that the United Kingdom shipping lines which have formed a huge consortium put up with the worst industrial demarkation dispute in the history of shipping. [More…]
The fact is that Southampton and London were tied up for month in and month out to such an extent that the first container ship in a great many months destined for the United Kingdom-continent trade did not tie up with any United Kingdonn port. [More…]
Do not compare the industrial situation in certain West German ports with Australian and United Kingdom ports because applying in West Germany is the same understanding of industrial relations that the Government has in this country. [More…]

The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council. [More…]
On 1st December 1943 in the Cairo Declaration, the United States, the United Kingdom and China declared that ‘all territory Japan has stolen from China such as Manchuria, Formosa and the Pescadores, shall be restored to the Republic of China’. [More…]
They include the United Kingdom, as long ago as 1950; Canada, India, Ceylon, Indonesia, Pakistan and France. [More…]
Of course, from time to time even on foreign policy we find ourselves in difference with the United Kingdom or the United States. [More…]
Again, I use a work that has been published by Dr Hunt and also another work published by the Population Investigation Committee of the United Kingdom in 1969. [More…]
Already unnecessarily large profits are being reaped by the United Kingdom and New Zealand interests because of our policy. [More…]
Since 1969 the importation of cattle semen has been permitted from New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
From a position of no semen imports from the United Kingdom we have moved to one where we allow imports after 2 years quarantine of the semen after certain health tests on the donor bull before semen is taken from him, and, since September of this year, imports are allowed after 12 months quarantine following health tests. [More…]
Approximately 150,000 doses of semen valued at about $1.5m have entered Australia from the United Kingdom in 2 years, and the flood of expensive semen from this source has just begun. [More…]
New Zealand semen from imported United Kingdom bulls was subject to 12 months quarantine before its entry was allowed into Australia, but as of last Friday this period has been reduced to the bull’s 6 months residence at an artificial insemination station after a satisfactory blue tongue test. [More…]
In September we also altered our import regulations for live animals from New Zealand, so that New Zealand can now import cattle from France without jeopardising her booming trade of exporting to Australia the progeny of imported United Kingdom bulls. [More…]
In addition to the saving to Australia from the United Kingdom and New Zealand profiteers - this saving would be very considerable - such an island would be of immense value to Australia and its livestock industries in the future. [More…]
Dr CASS (Maribyrnong) (5.36>- With the increase in technological changes in medical practice the costs inevitably are soaring and this holds for any country whether it has our particular brand of national health scheme or the American variety, which is supposedly wedded to the fee for service private enterprise system or the system in the United Kingdom and other European countries which has a tendency towards salaried service. [More…]
Someone interjected during the debate today about the great health scheme of the United Kingdom. [More…]
But look at the economy of New Zealand; look at the economy of the United Kingdom at this time. [More…]
This was one of the reasons why the Labour Government in the United Kingdom was thrown out of office. [More…]
The powers, privileges, and immunities of the Senate and of the House of Representatives, and of the members and the committees of each House, shall be such as are declared by the Parliament, and until declared shall be those of the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom, and of its members and committees, at the establishment of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Members included Mr A. R. Downer, as he then was, now Sir Alec Downer, the High Commissioner for Australia in the United Kingdom; Mr Drummond, a member of the Country Party; Mr Hamilton, another Government Party member; Percy Joske now Mr Justice Joske, and also Senator Wright who is still a member of the Government. [More…]
The Board’s efforts in this direction have proved to be far sighted and are particularly significant in the light of the recent developments in Europe which could result in the loss of the United Kingdom market for our dairy products in the not far distant future. [More…]
The finance for the Board’s participation in these ventures has mainly been drawn from the Dairy Industry Stabilisation Fund which consists of industry funds that were built up under the post-war contracts with the United Kingdom. [More…]
My question is directed to the Prime Minister, in view of the reports that he achieved important gains in the United Slates with regard to the alleviation of the added United States surcharge on wool and also in Britain in securing more favourable conditions for the export of primary products, particularly sugar, to the United Kingdom during the transitional period for the entry of the United Kingdom to the European Economic Community, when will the Prime Minister inform the industries concerned of the good news? [More…]
The first one was that if there was any Australian agricultural industry that was threatened with or was suffering serious injury, the matter could be taken up either by the Australian Government or by the United Kingdom Government, or by both together, or by the industry concerned. [More…]
When I issued my Press statement on this matter I went on to say that only that day discussions about the sugar industry had commenced in the United Kingdom. [More…]
My visit to the United Kingdom followed immediately after the House of Commons had voted in favour of British entry into the European Economic Community. [More…]
They have welcomed the possibility of using facilities at Cockburn Sound and are, with the United Kingdom, maintaining a communication station at Diego Garcia. [More…]
I should tell the House that I questioned repeated assertions that although the United Kingdom is to enter the Common Market its bilateral relationship with Australia would not change. [More…]
We have recently signed a 5-power agreement with the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore under which we have Australian Army, Navy and Air Force units stationed to our north. [More…]
All members of the Opposition and I think a lot of the members on the Government side listened in amazement to the Prime Minister’s travel story and his version of his own achievements, particularly what he allegedly achieved in ,he United States of America and the United Kingdom with respect to trade matters. [More…]
The plain facts are thai the Prime Minister has achieved nothing in his visit to the United States and the United Kingdom with respect to trade matters. [More…]
Mr Heath and Mr Rippon repeated to the Prime Minister almost word for word exactly what they told the Minister for Trade and Industry (Mr Anthony) when he was in the United Kingdom last July. [More…]
Only say that if the Prime Minister has returned home to Australia in a happy frame of mind at what he achieved in the United Kingdom with respect to the Common Market and what Mr Heath and Mr Rippon told him he must have been treated as a sucker, because there can be no question, as I will illustrate later with one commodity only - sugar - about how he has been taken for a ride in the commodity field by the British authorities. [More…]
In his statement tonight the Prime Minister said: 1 should tell the House that I questioned repeated assertions that although the United Kingdom is to enter the Common Market its bilateral relationship wilh Australia would not change. [More…]
The Prime Minister’s visit to the United Kingdom, with special reference to the European Economic Community, has achieved absolutely nothing. [More…]
States and the United Kingdom occurred as a result of invitations, firstly from the President of the United States and secondly from the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, invitations that would enable the Austraiian Prime Minister to put Australian views on matters of great concern not only to Australia but also the major part of the free world. [More…]
There are many issues confronting the world at the present time, issues to which the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe are putting their mind-:, and to have the opportunity by invitation of putting an Australian view at this time is certainly something which this country should be thankful for and the Prime Minister in his recent overseas visit has put a view which would stand Australia in good stead. [More…]
The fourth event which is of great significance to us and to others is the decision of the House of Commons to take the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
We sometimes forget that there was a United Kingdom defence guarantee in categoric terms to the SingaporeMalaysian area in earlier times, but now we have an arrangement of equal partnership between the 5 countries which are concerned. [More…]
If Australia were nol concerned how could the United Kingdom on the other side of the world persuade her people to be concerned in a matter which is so significant to Australia, part of our near north? [More…]
It is not always realised that it is the relationship that has been maintained and built up over a long period of years with the United Kingdom and United States that enables Australia to play an effective part in our ow& region. [More…]
This has been emphasised and reemphasised by the significance of the Prime Minister’s visit to the United States and the United Kingdom and also by the importance of the discussions which took place in both countries. [More…]
The Prime Minister has put those interests to the United Kingdom and to the United States, lt is this relationship on the one hand with countries overseas which enables us to play a significant role within our own region. [More…]
We are not a party principal to this particular argument and discussion but nevertheless it is of vital concern to Australia as one of the great trading nations of the world to have Australian views put in the United States and in the United Kingdom, to have Australian views expressed firmly and categorically about the importance of resolving a dispute which could offer a greater threat to future world trade than anything that has occurred since 1939. [More…]
It was one of the reasons why it was so important for the Prime Minister to put Australia’s view in the United States and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
As a result we hope to see that both countries will be well aware that the impact of their policies could well flow far beyond the shores of the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Of course the problems of that argument are in a sense made all the more important and significant by the United Kingdom decision to join (he EEC. [More…]
lt is important for the United Kingdom to try to do what she has said she will do, and that is to ensure that the EEC becomes an outward looking community concerned for world trade and not merely for the narrow selfish views of an affluent and rich Europe. [More…]
But whether the United Kingdom can have these views sufficiently incorporated into the policies of the European Economic Community is something that yet remains for decision. [More…]
But these matters are still of great importance to Australia, and whatever the impact might be on specific industries that have depended on markets in the United Kingdom for many years, the impact in total terms of the general attitude of the European Economic Community is something which is of paramount importance for all of us. [More…]
The Prime Minister’s visit overseas ha been a visit of great service to Australia at a time of important decision making both in the United States and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Again I emphasise that our relations with the United Kingdom on the one hand and with the United States on the other enable Australia to play a significant and important part in the South East Asian region. [More…]
Sweden (1963-1 : 1,400) and Norway (1964-1 : 1,400), about level with Canada (1966-1 : 3,100) and New Zealand (1964- 1 : 3,200) and ahead of the United Kingdom (1965-1 : 4,200). [More…]
In view of the many indicators of storms ahead for the Australian economy, such as the United Kingdom’s entry into the European Common Market, the wool industry crisis, both rural and general unemployment in the basic industries, the currency crisis and obvious speculation about a possible appreciation of Australian currency as indicated by the dramatic increase in Australia’s overseas reserves, which now stand at over $2,600m- [More…]
It has been suggested that housing loan interest up to a given figure be made a tax deduction to help young married couples, as is the case in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There is no preferential treatment for the United Kingdom. [More…]
Of course, the investment in Australia by the United Kingdom is of a high order simply because of the long history of our association with that country. [More…]
There is likely to be a contraction of the United Kingdom market. [More…]
There has, however, been some growth in exports to Canada, and these exports are to some extent compensating for the possible decline in exports to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The use of sultanas could drop even further this season if, as is expected, the United Kingdom enters the European Economic Community. [More…]
Not only will our wine sales to the United Kingdom drop further than they have already but also o-.ir dried vine fruit sales to the United Kingdom may be expected to fall because of the associate status of several other dried fruit producing countries. [More…]
The British Government has accepted an offer from the Six under which exports originating in Papua New Guinea will be able to enter the United Kingdom until 1st January 1978, under the conditions which apply at the time of British accession to the Community. [More…]
They would have gone to the Old Country - the United Kingdom - and said: ‘Come and help us! [More…]
I think it is unbelievable that we should have gone for so long tied to the apron strings of the United Kingdom Parliament practices. [More…]
The output of the United Kingdom is growing by only 2 per cent and that of Germany by scarcely more. [More…]
But there are few developed economics which could match us and many did much worse, such as Japan, where the increase over that period was 20 per cent, and France with 18 per cent, and the United Kingdom with 24 per cent. [More…]
In the same period according to statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United States showed an average growth rate of 4.6 per cent, Canada 4.8 per cent, France 5.6 per cent, Germany 4.8 per cent, md the :United Kingdom 3.2 per cent. [More…]
In the same period the average growth rate is estimated at less than 2 per cent in the United States, less than 41 per cent in Canada, about 6 per cent in France, about 5i per cent in Germany, and less than 2 per cent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The second point I want to emphasise is that our current unemployment rate of 1.48 per cent seasonally adjusted, although marginally higher than a year ago, is comparable to the average achieved in Australia over the last 15 years and is considerably lower than the rate currently prevailing in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Italy or Sweden. [More…]
When looking at other countries, he said that the United States had a nil rats of growth, the United Kingdom had a growth rate of probably 2 per cent - not 5 per cent as our own is - that West Germany, which is held up as one of the ideals, had a growth rate of not 5 per cent but a little better than 2 per cent, and that Japan’s growth rate was roughly the same as ours. [More…]
I would suggest to the Leader of the Opposition that he might take a look at the position in the United States of America in regard to great unemployment and increasing inflation, that he might take a look at the United Kingdom where the unemployment numbers are approaching -1 million and where the rate of inflation is greater than it has been here, and that he might take a look at Canada where the same situation prevails. [More…]
said there was a danger of its becoming like the Liberals in the United Kingdom hack in the early years of the century, proceeding towards social . [More…]
When one realises that, for example, 84 per cent of the shares of Conzinc Riotinto of Australia Ltd are held by the United Kingdom parent company, Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation Ltd, and that generally there is a substantially high proportion of overseas ownership of shares of mining operators in this country, one feels well justified, I repeat, in raising serious and challanging questions about the need to continue this sort of subsidy. [More…]
The Minister has announced only recently that Qantas is to start charter flights to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The document is very well prepared and I commend the Committee for its quality, lt gives a brief history of local government and indicates that its origins in Australia were similar to those of a like body in the United Kingdom ‘t has evolved to what it is from the middle of the 19th Century but modern society demands the assumption by local authorities of responsibilities that were not acceptable before. [More…]
The constitution of the United Kingdom works because there is a disciplined and restrained community. [More…]
Furthermore, the problem of rates of duty to apply in the future when the United Kingdom joins the European Economic Community is legion. [More…]
The present rates of customs duties applicable to dried vine fruits (currants, sultanas and raisins) imported into the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand are as follows : [More…]
Japan represents a growing market and so do other countries of Asia, but not at a rate that will overcome the surplus production which could be available if we cannot get markets in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Many of the growers claim that because of administration costs in the United Kingdom, advertising costs overseas, promotion surcharges, agents commissions and resellers rebates, dried fruits sold at $500 to $600 per ton in cartons return to the grower less than $250 per ton. [More…]
It is clear that in the past the United Kingdom has been Australia’s main export outlet for canned deciduous fruit, and the amount exported to the United Kingdom has increased quite slowly. [More…]
In recent years more canned peaches have been exported to Europe, particularly to the Federal Republic of Germany, than to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom is the largest market for these products. [More…]
So the industry was born directly under the umbrella of Government sponsorship and Government trade arrangements, particularly with the United Kingdom. [More…]
a 25 per cent increase in shipping freights lo the United Kingdom could add 20 to 30c a carton of canned fruit to costs. [More…]
The preferential tariff was removed as it affected entry into both Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
For example, the number of man-days lost in 1970 was at least 30 per cent higher in the United States, about 60 per cent higher in the United Kingdom and 100 per cent higher in New Zealand than in the previous year. [More…]
So intense is this sentiment in the United Kingdom and in the United States that organised labour there will have no part in the system of compulsory arbitration which has become so remarkable a feature of the Australian way of life. [More…]
It is some 10 years since the first whispered conversations began between people in Australia and people in the United Kingdom as to the possibility of Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community. [More…]
Protection by tariffs was then to be given only to industries in Australia up to the point that would allow producers in the United Kingdom ample opportunity to export to Australia. [More…]
They were set out in the interests of industry in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia was in pawn to the United Kingdom and went cap in hand to the British bankers, and the Australian business establishment was ready to do whatever it was told. [More…]
The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows: (1)I understand the Press recently reported that the New Zealand Apple and Pear Board agreed to a 16 per cent increase in freight charges on the export of apples to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Of course, it is a component within the overall concept of the ANZUK force with New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I draw a contrast between the situation in the United Kingdom and the situation in the United States of America where the 2 different approaches are in operation. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the problem is seen essentially as a health one and in the United States it is seen essentially as a criminal one. [More…]
Using figures in an article by Richard L. Worswop entitled ‘Heroin Addiction’ produced in May 19 0 - these are the only figures I can obtain from any source, including the Parliamentary Library - one can make a rough calculation that the incidence of drug addiction in the United Kingdom, where this problem is treated as a health one, is about one addict to every 18,500 of population. [More…]
On this evidence, it would seem quite clearly that the repressive legislative or penal approach has been a failure in comparison to the more enlightened health approach adopted by the United Kingdom. [More…]
I have supported my argument by quoting comparative figures for the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The United Kingdom situation is not a perfect one. [More…]
On the face of the evidence available, the penalising approach of the United States is a dismal failure compared to the approach of the United Kingdom where the problem is treated as a health one and where one does not feel that one is an outcast from society, which by definition is one’s position when the problem is treated as a criminal offence. [More…]
1 am not saying that we should dogmatically adopt the United Kingdom approach; I am saying that the need to explore this area and see what can be done to adapt the United Kingdom approach to the problems in this country and so avoid the problems of organised crime and street crime which have arisen and are worsening in the United States of America, a country which adopts precisely the kind of approaches that we are seeking to introduce through this sort of legislation. [More…]
The honourable member for Oxley (Mr Hayden) made some comparisons earlier which showed that in the United Kingdom there was one addict to every 18,500 persons while in the United States there was one addict to every 700 to 1,000 persons. [More…]
The situation in the United States is entirely different from that in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I hold the attitude of society in Australia to be more akin to that of society in the United States than of society in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Can the Prime Minister explain why it took until 18th November to approve increased salaries for locally engaged staff of the Australian High Commission in the United Kingdom when the comparable increases for the British Civil Service took effect from 1st January 1971? [More…]
He draws my attention to the fact that in that speech 1 said that 84 per cent of the shares of Conzinc Riotinto of Australia Limited were held by the United Kingdom parent company, the RioTinto-Zinc Corporation Ltd. [More…]
I think the same thing has happened in the United Kingdom where the government is not applying particularly tight monetary or fiscal policies at the moment. [More…]
In the United Kingdom 3.4 per cent of the work force is unemployed, and over 6 per cent of the work force in the United States of America. [More…]
The term ‘dividend-strippng’ has been employed in the courts here and in the United Kingdom and has come to have a widely understood connotation in professional and financial circles. [More…]
In 1969 one further tank and three hulls were purchased from New Zealand and in 1970 a further 15 tanks from the United Kingdom (ex Hong Kong). [More…]
Later procurement of used tanks was at an average price of $14,000 from the United Kingdom and $8,000 from New Zealand. [More…]
When will Australia abandon its practice of using the United Kingdom to undertake our quarantine work and provide a similar establishment to New Zealand’s off-shore quarantine station on Somes Island in Wellington Harbour. [More…]
Has the Government received a proposal from the Australian Society of Authors for the introduction of a public lending right system similar to that already operating in Denmark and Sweden and at present receiving consideration by the Governments of Finland, Norway, Holland and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Both Australia and the People’s Republic of China have diplomatic missions in the Arab Republic of Egypt, Austria, Burma, Ceylon, Canada, Chile, Denmark, France, India, Iran, Italy, Kenya, Laos, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sweden, Switzerland, Tanzania, United Kingdom, USSR and Yugoslavia. [More…]
The United States of America and Canada are the only other countries known to have published requirements for the carriage of audio recorders but similiar legislation is under consideration in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom intentions are not known at this time. [More…]
Has he investigated the Ziebart process for rust-proofing as used in the United Kingdom. [More…]
What (a) number and (b) percentage of such (i) migrants from the United Kingdom, (ii) Irish citizens and (iii) citizens of each country listed in section 7 of the Citizenship Act as have resided in Australia for the necessary period have acquired Australian citizenship by notification. [More…]
It is, in fact, 2.3 per cent of our work force, which might be compared with the latest figure of 5.4 per cent in the United States of America - over twice as much - and 4 per cent in the United Kingdom, where, owing to the coal strike, the rate is temporarily far above 4 per cent. [More…]
The latest available figure for the United Kingdom shows that in October last about 930,000 people or 4 per cent of the work force were then unemployed there. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it is $12 a week; here it is $17 a week, la Canada it is from $13 to $42 a week depending on the number of dependants, and in France it is $12 a week. [More…]
There is a high rate of unemployment in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France and even in Japan. [More…]
Does the United Kingdom blame this Government for the unemployment in England? [More…]
Australia is now facing a very important trade upset at the present time with the United Kingdom about to enter the European Economic Community. [More…]
The Minister in his second reading speech stated that the 2.3 per cent of the work force who are unemployed in Australia could be compared with the latest figures of 5.4 per cent in the United States of America and 4 per cent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Unemployment would have become a serious problem in any event, but it has been aggravated considerably by the disturbance in international currency which caused a great deal of uncertainty throughout the world and no doubt contributed - and I must be fair in this regard - to the unemployment figures in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Pakistan, the Philippines, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
How many more deaths must there be before the Australian Government feels compelled to use its good offices with the Governments of both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland to promote, on behalf of the friends of both countries, a representative constitutional convention charged with the task of formulating a political settlement. [More…]
I ask the Prime Minister: Is it correct that countries like the United States of America, West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and others who give aid to distressed countries have painted on the sides of their ships in large lettering, for example, ‘United States of America Relief Ship’? [More…]
I am not concerned one whit about the unemployment problems associated with other countries and for this very good reason: Those who are unemployed in Western Germany and those who are unemployed in the- United Kingdom do not happen to be my constituents. [More…]
We have no control over the unemployment situation in the United Kingdom, in Western Germany, in Eastern Germany for that matter, or anywhere else. [More…]
Even though the product may be oversupplied in some markets, the Board should be congratulated for the initiative it took almost 11 years ago to diversify into markets other than the traditional market in the United Kingdom, particularly when at that point of time and since then there had been warnings given of the inevitable joining of the European Economic Community by Great Britain. [More…]
It must be admitted that the profitability of establishing plants in these low income countries is not as great as that of selling butter and cheese products to the richer industrial countries like the United Kingdom. [More…]
The point I am making is that although we hope to encourage this type of activity we must recognise, and the industry must recognise, that this is not as profitable as exporting butter to the United Kingdom. [More…]
When we see a very large proportion of our products going to the United Kingdom, with the possibility that this market will be lost, we must accept the seriousness of the position. [More…]
I think that this build up in butter stocks, which is estimated only, is quite logical if in future this problem of shortage of supply from the EEC countries to the United Kingdom is to be overcome. [More…]
But this huge rise from $378 to $589 has brought difficulties in its wake, not the least of which is that the sales of butter in the United Kingdom today, as a direct result of these violent price fluctuations, have fallen by 25 per cent. [More…]
On the one hand we have looked at the United Kingdom market as being the major market in the world for our butter exports, and on the other hand, owing to these fluctuations, we see a 25 per cent diminution in sales of butter on that market. [More…]
That money has built up from post war contracts with the United Kingdom. [More…]
Butter shipments to the United Kingdom during the year under review declined by 18.3 per cent to 54,500 tons which is about 13,000 below our quota of 67,000 tons. [More…]
The Board had great difficulty in trying to keep within reasonable range of bur quota, even by reducing stocks to very low levels in Australia to try to approach our quota in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The interesting thing about the export of butter shipments to countries other than the United Kingdom is that we increased our shipments by 20.5 per cent to 14,200 tons in 1970-71. [More…]
So although we went down 18 per cent in shipments to the United Kingdom we increased our sales to Asia and other countries by 20.5 per cent; in all we had an increase in butter shipments. [More…]
We cannot spell it out to the actual dollar or ton or predict the influence it will have on the sales of our butter fat to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Within the United Kingdom there will be a” national desire to expand milk production to minimise payments to the European Agricultural Guarantee and Guidance Fund. [More…]
The price of butter to the English consumer will rise when the United Kingdom firmly enters the European Economic Community. [More…]
These things being considered, I think that Australia will find less and less access to the United Kingdom market and we must find more and more markets for butter products in Asia. [More…]
But I do feel that there is still an opportunity for us to sell our products in the United Kingdom and in the European Economic Community. [More…]
The Board has conducted these ventures overseas in a very successful way from its point of view if we regard its actions as ensuring some outlet for the excessive production which could not otherwise have been sold and if we regard its efforts as forward looking insurance against the time when the United Kingdom would enter the EEC, which is set down for 1st January 1973. [More…]
The money for capital has come from industry funds built up under post-war contracts with the United Kingdom, although it is not clear to me why this money did not come back to producers through equalisation. [More…]
We are seeing this happen with butter in the United Kingdom at the present time. [More…]
Of course, it was to combat the excess dependence on the United Kingdom market in particular, that the Australian Dairy Produce Board, with the complete support and backing of the Australian Government, has been endeavouring to diversify its outlets. [More…]
For example, we have been always very dependent upon what seemed to be a certain fairly substantial demand for butter and butter products in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Those honourable members who are interested in dairy exports will know that, as a result of the price increase in butter following the shortfall in European Economic Community supplies, there has been a reduction of some 25 per cent in the consumption of butter in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We used to look with a good deal of awc too at Rolls-Royce in Great Britain until the unions in the United Kingdom brought that once great company to its knees. [More…]
They have them in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There was such a rule in the United Kingdom, but it was broken and eventually it was scrapped altogether. [More…]
May I refer in passing on this question of programming to the enormous amount of moneys transmitted overseas for the buying of programmes from the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
This certainly does not occur in the United States of America, the United Kingdom or Canada. [More…]
The United Kingdom and the European colour television is infinitely better than any I have seen anywhere else in the world. [More…]
In the future one can expect that this trade will increase because the trade preferences between the United Kingdom and New Zealand can be expected to be phased out as Britain joins the European Economic Community. [More…]
I ask for leave to incorporate in Hansard a paper which shows the change in the criteria which the United Kingdom takes into account in determining the needs of schools. [More…]
He attempted then to justify that policy not by referring to Australia but by referring to Sir Edward Boyle in the United Kingdom and practices there. [More…]
It does not accept that principle and no amount of retreat to the United Kingdom practice can disguise this. [More…]
I said earlier that I would not refer to the United Kingdom in examining how a schools commission would operate and I do not intend to do so. [More…]
Negotiations are proceeding with the United Kingdom to purchase the ‘Duchess’ for conversion to an officers training vessel. [More…]
Does he agree with Mr Aubrey Jones, distinguished former chairman of the United Kingdom Prices and Incomes Board, that the mistake made in that country was to restrain incomes without having the structures to restrain prices? [More…]
This is a governmenttogovernment agreement somewhat similar to the other government-to-government agreements with the United States of America and Canada and agreements which our Atomic Energy Commission has effected with counterpart organisations in the United Kingdom and France. [More…]
I am rather attracted to the scheme which obtains in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This would have enabled us at least to start to move towards the British example where this aspect of industry is regarded with such importance that the United Kingdom Government has renamed its department the Department of Employment and Productivity. [More…]
I quote the case of Barrow in the United Kingdom which plans on a ratio of 2.9 beds per 1000 of the population and Reading which plans on a ratio of 2.6 beds per 1000 of the population. [More…]
The United Kingdom and Japan together account for about 28 per cent of this figure. [More…]
Tonight the honourable member for Riverina (Mr Grassby) mentioned that the United Kingdom is a big wheat grower, but the figures I have show that the United Kingdom was the biggest purchaser of Australian wheat in 1970-71. [More…]
The United Kingdom purchased 1,716,598 tons for $81,522,000. [More…]
It indicates that there is in fact no great parity between ships that operate between the United Kingdom and Australia and those that operate in many other areas in which the Australian National Line operates. [More…]
In addition to that, I would like to draw the attention of the Minister to the truth of what I and other honourable members on this side of the House have said so often, that is, that the Australian National Line, operating as it does as a prisoner, as it were, of the various conferences to Europe, the United Kingdom, Japan and the Pacific route across to the United States of America, is not competitive. [More…]
In fact, there has been an absence of any real demarcation disputes insofar as the Australian waterfront and the maritime industries generally are concerned in comparison with what has happened at Tilbury and United Kingdom containerisation ports generally. [More…]
Rotterdam and some of the container ports in the United Kingdom. [More…]
For example, although the latest available published statistics show that the proportion of the population completing a full secondary course, receiving tertiary education, and graduating from tertiary institutions in Australia is above that in United Kingdom, France and West Germany the standards attained by the products of our system are widely recognised. [More…]
I would suggest that when people look at the propaganda and promises made at this moment they should also look at what happened in the United Kingdom and in New Zealand and ask themselves whether these golden eggs which are being laid at all times with no responsibility being taken by the Labor Party can in fact be produced without great hardship and detriment to this country. [More…]
United Kingdom for doctors on salaries, and I will cite them to honourable members. [More…]
In the United States and the United Kingdom when doctors are paid a salary the operation rate is only 3.6 to 4 in a thousand. [More…]
In the United States, with salaried doctors, it is only 1.4; in the United Kingdom it is only 2.5. [More…]
It is higher in the United Kingdom than in the United States, but still it is only one-half the Australian rate. [More…]
In that situation where a patient can vet himself the operation rate in Australia for hernias is only 1.5 in a thousand, but in the United States and the United Kingdom when doctors are on salaries the rate is 2 in a thousand. [More…]
In Australia the rate is 2 in a thousand, as against 1 in a thousand in the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I understand it, these animals - I think there were 137 altogether - destined for Australia contracted the disease strangles on a voyage from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Noranda and ICI are both well known and respected overseas companies, the former from Canada and the latter from the United Kingdom. [More…]
By virtue of Section 34 of the Naval Defence Act, the Naval Discipline Act 1957 of the United Kingdom, subject to adaptations, is applied in the Royal Australian Navy. [More…]
Section 8 of the Air Force Act applies to the Royal Australian Air Force the Air Force Act 1939 of the United Kingdom, as adapted. [More…]
From time to time proposals to introduce bonus bonds or premium or lottery bonds similar to those issued in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and certain other countries have been considered by the Government and by the Australian Loan Council. [More…]
3 (long haul - all operators) through which Sir John entered on the day of the incident, there is provision for three entry gates through which persons entering the United Kingdom may pass. [More…]
those carrying United Kingdom passports; [More…]
The honourable member will appreciate that the nature of arrangements for entry into Britain is a matter within the domestic jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I also wish to inform the House that the Minister for Shipping and Transport (Mr Nixon) is to leave Australia tonight to have discussions and to make inspections in the urban transport field in South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Europe, and to attend the launching of the Australian National Line container ship ‘Australian Explorer’ in Germany. [More…]
It has been a source of difficulty over the years that it subsisted and I therefore strongly welcome the United Kingdom decision as a reflection of the co-operation between that country and Australia because it does remove this source of difficulty. [More…]
More than that, I think it is important that at a time when we have changing relationships with the United Kingdom because of Britain’s impending entry into the European Economic Community it has a long term significance for us. [More…]
As to the level of investment which may follow from the decision, I would not make any predictions on this because there are indications that the United Kingdom companies manage to change the sources which provide finance. [More…]
Another important factor which I think must be taken into account when refusing to make predictions is that the United Kingdom has eased the investment conditions for EEC countries and that will enable the British investor to examine the relative desirability of his investments in the EEC and the 4 Sterling countries affected which, of course, are Australia, South Africa, New Zealand and Ireland. [More…]
I think it is right to say that the great bulk of the money which was spent on the establishment of the township there was provided by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
lt seems quite ridiculous to me, having in mind that a large proportion of Australia’s population, notwithstanding the views of the honourable member for Mcpherson (Mr Barnes), were not born in this country or in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I suggest that the Minister, who prides himself on his erudition, apply himself ‘ to that legal tangle so that when we recruit British subjects from Pakistan we ask whether they are British subjects by virtue of the law of the Commonwealth of Australia or by virtue of the law of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or just how they measure up in the present situation. [More…]
When I was in the United Kingdom in November of last year I did take up with the British Prime Minister and also with the Chancellor of the Exchequer two separate but related problems. [More…]
Firstly, I wanted to ensure that when the United Kingdom went into the European Economic Community we would not be placed at any disadvantage so far as the flow of money to and from Australia was concerned. [More…]
I also took up with Mr Heath, Mr Barber and their Minister representing the United Kingdom at the Council of Ministers of the European Community the point that when Britain went into the Community it should be outward looking and consequently that it should ensure the greatest freedom of multilateral! [More…]
I am glad to be able to say, although I do not want to go overboard on this matter, that the United Kingdom- [More…]
Has the Treasurer had a good look at the new Budget presented by Mr Barber in the United Kingdom which had 3 main aims? [More…]
As taxation revenue has been considerably reduced in the United Kingdom, why should this trend not be followed in Australia? [More…]
The United Kingdom Budget was designed to ‘reflate the economy’ and give it growth. [More…]
The United Kingdom is aiming for a 5 per cent growth in national product. [More…]
My expectation is that we will exceed a growth rate of over 4 per cent this year so that the United Kingdom aim will be our achievement. [More…]
Our unemployment, which causes concern for the position of the individual who is unemployed, has to be seen in the context of a comparison with unemployment in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I give as an illustration something that happened in the United Kingdom where, by reason of the medical benefits scheme which they had there, people from all over Europe used to go to the United Kingdom to have their operations or medical services and they mulcted the British taxpayer by so doing. [More…]
Our agreements provide that the residence of a citizen of the United Kingdom and New Zealand in his own countries before he comes to Australia counts as residence in Australia. [More…]
So if we adopted this Bill we would find the quite extraordinary position that an elderly couple could come here from the United Kingdom, live here for one year only and return to the United Kingdom, taking an Australian pension with them. [More…]
A divorced woman in the United Kingdom could come to Australia for 12 months, pick up a widow’s pension as an Australian citizen and take it to England, Peru, Brazil or wherever she might like to go and live there for the rest of her life drawing a pension from the Australian taxpayer. [More…]
The legislation has to be framed in such a way that there is no opportunity for abuse and that there are no loopholes which will enable people to come, for instance, from the United Kingdom or New Zealand to stay for a short time, qualify for a pension, and then go to their former country to receive it. [More…]
From these developments the Five Power defence arrangements embracing Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom have grown. [More…]
So too was ANZAM, which is not referred to very often now but which was an arrangement between ourselves, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
We also played a great part, together with the United Kingdom, in preventing Malaya and Singapore being taken over by communists immediately after the war. [More…]
Had the Labor Party’s policy been accepted and followed by the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and the other countries involved - the Labor Party says that that is the principle which should have been followed - all of South East Asia would now be under communist domination. [More…]
It is also to the credit of the United Kingdom that it never backed the United States, although I believe that Harold Wilson could have been stronger in that he did not dissociate the British people from the Vietnam war until the Americans started to bomb North Vietnam. [More…]
1, 1970 published by the United Kingdom Government Statistical Service. [More…]
With regard to a General Household Survey, it appears that the type of information being sought in the Survey in the United Kingdom is similar in a number of respects to that already obtained in Australia by means of the Population Survey. [More…]
I presume that the naval officer in the United Kingdom who sold Britain’s naval secrets recently took that oath. [More…]
Australia exports honey to the United Kingdom, Japan, West Germany, Malaysia, Sweden, Mozambique, the Netherlands, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, South Yemen and Libya - a very wide range of areas. [More…]
The United Kingdom has increased its intake of Australian honey from 7,477,000 lb in 1967-68 to 14,820,000 lb in 1970-71. [More…]
So, in Japan, the United Kingdom and Germany our market is continually growing. [More…]
The fifth point that I wish to mention in my address tonight is the agent system of selling in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there are 2 or 3 registered, licensed importers of our product. [More…]
The Australian Honey Board has 2 licensed agents in the United Kingdom. [More…]
They are paid 3 per cent commission on the price that they secure for Australian honey in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This systematised, disciplined, personal agents system has revolutionised our honey selling on markets in the United Kingdom and other countries. [More…]
Furthermore, these agents furnish to the Aus tralian Honey Board information as to consumer demand, prices charged by the retailer, marketing techniques, and retailing trends in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It reviews the price every 3 months on the basis of information supplied by its agents in the United Kingdom relating to market trends in that county. [More…]
An example of the improved export prices can be given by quoting the United Kingdom price for honey over a 3-year period. [More…]
As has been mentioned previously, the United Kingdom, Japan and West Germany are our best export markets. [More…]
Fortunately this is one rural industry which it does not appear will be affected when the United Kingdom joins the European Economic Community because Europe is a large importer of honey and does not have a honey industry of its own to protect by means of high intervention prices and similar sorts of devices. [More…]

As honourable members know, these problems were tackled broadly in the United Kingdom on the basis that they could inquire after a takeover to establish whether it should be allowed or whether they should endeavour to restore the position. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is a Monopolies Commission run not by a progressive Labor government, I may add, but by a Conservative Government which would look upon the present Liberal Government in Australia as a brother, although as a very slow and unprogressive brother. [More…]
But under the Monopolies and Mergers Acts of 1948 and 1963 in the United Kingdom the Government can refer to the Monopolies Commission for inquiry and report a proposed merger or a completed merger if that merger will create or enhance a situation in which one-third or more of any trade is in the hands of any one person or group, or if the gross value of the assets to be taken over exceeds 5m or $10m. [More…]
Is anybody going to suggest that that section in the Monopolies and Mergers Acts in the United Kingdom would not be pertinent to the situation with which we are faced in Australia today? [More…]
From these developments the Five Power defence arrangements embracing Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom have grown. [More…]
As has been said on so many occasions, we need the support of our great friends and allies and I believe that the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, along with the other Commonwealth countries, will always believe in freedom. [More…]

As at 28th February 1972 all Australian-based officers of the Department of Foreign Affairs serving overseas were Australian citizens by birth, residence, registration or naturalisation, with the exception of 6, all of whom were British subjects and citizens of the United Kingdom, serving in the following countries: [More…]
I wish to announce also that I will shortly be asking the Tariff Board to examine and report on tariff items where the margins between general and preferential rates of duty are greater than are required under our preferential trade agreements, particularly with the United Kingdom. [More…]
In this connection, the termination of the United Kingdom/ Australia Trade Agreement, consequent upon Britain joining the EEC, should help us in making reciprocal concessions in the Australian Tariff. [More…]
United Kingdom <by Commonwealth Railways- in- each of the last 3 years. [More…]
Another matter that we must keep in mind always is that when money leaves its country of origin, whether it is the United States, the United Kingdom or Sweden, it is currency of that nation, but when it arrives in Australia is becomes Australian currency and subject to the financial controls of this country.

the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), and the United Kingdom Medical Research Council. [More…]
In 1965 the National Radiation Advisory Committee, in line with recommendations issued by the United Kingdom Medical Research Council, following a detailed study of radiation protection guides, adopted a safety level of 840 millirad for iodine 131. [More…]
Then there are the comprehensive trade negotiations in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, those arising out of trade objectives with the enlarged European Economic Community, with the United States, Japan and others, and of course those problems arising out of the termination of the United Kingdom- Australia trade agreement. [More…]
They have indicated that the United Kingdom Australia trade agreement will be non est by January 1973. [More…]
I wish to announce also that I will shortly be asking the Tariff Board to examine and report on tariff items where the margins between general and preferential rates of duty are greater than are required under our preferential trade agree ment, particularly with the United Kingdom. [More…]
In November last year I drew attention to the fact that on 28th October 1970 the then Minister for Trade and Industry, Sir John McEwen, made a statement in this Parliament on the United Kingdom levies on imports of Australian agricultural commodities. [More…]
We all know that this kind of thing can happen - for example, the way in which people flocked to the United Kingdom in their thousands as temporary visitors in order to take advantage of medical benefits for such things as expensive operations which used to be available there without charge. [More…]
I do not want to take up the time of the House by more than a side reference to the egregious errors with which the Leader of the Opposition’s Bill was loaded, but I think 1 should point out to the House that, on the face of it, under his Bill, a citizen of the United Kingdom or New Zealand could come to Australia, live here for 12 months, collect an Australian pension as for age or invalidity - or indeed, as a widow, divorcee or deserted wife - and take it abroad and live for the rest of his or her life at the expense of the Australian taxpayer. [More…]
New Zealand Parliament is much more advanced than ours as far as democracy is concerned, as is the case with the United Kingdom Parliament and the Canadian Parliament which deal with petitions more quickly. [More…]
Of course, we expect that to be, the case in New Zealand and the United Kingdom because social services in those countries are treated differently. [More…]
However, pre-1964 developments concerning the supply of drugs and medicines under the United Kingdom National. [More…]
This relationship has been confirmed by post- 1964 developments in the United Kingdom. [More…]

This is greater than the area of the United Kingdom and half the area of New South Wales; an area which has been stated by various oil interests to be more attractive even than the North Sea. [More…]
When the Liberal Government sold out the Commonwealth share in the British Petroleum company it sold it on the basis that it did not believe that there should be a government equity in it; but it sold the Commonwealth share to a company that is 50 per cent owned by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
The Australian dairy industry has taken advantage of the present strong market situation to diversify and develop alternative outlets away from the United Kingdom as an insurance against the loss of access to the United Kingdom market when Britain joins the European Economic Community early next year. [More…]
Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to recent reports in the United Kingdom claiming that Australia is well known as a soft market for overseas fibre producers, which is a polite way of saying that this Government is not taking the necessary action to protect the Australian textile industry? [More…]
But so would killing have been avoided if the United Kingdom Government had invited Hitler over to take control of the United Kingdom Government during the last war. [More…]
When it comes to Asia, the United Kingdom has forgotten more than the United States ever learnt. [More…]
As far as other countries are concerned, the United Kingdom signed this agreement in March 1967 and since then over 30 countries have signed it. [More…]
The measurement of tonnage of ships such as the ‘Australian Enterprise’ and the ‘Matthew Flinders’ is at present in accordance with the provisions of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act. [More…]
Instead it chooses to leave the matter as it is at the present time under the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act. [More…]
British consumption has risen just recently to 1,500 tons and a recent survey of 40 of the major food suppliers in the United Kingdom revealed that these suppliers expect a 5 per cent penetration of the meat market by 1977, a 10 per cent penetration by around 1981 and a 25 per cent penetration by 1990. [More…]
The United States of America, Japan and the United Kingdom are the countries in which developments must be continuously watched because, firstly, they are important markets for Australian meat, particularly manufacturing meat, and, secondly, they are the countries with the most developed vegetable protein production. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, which is a very important market for Australia, a survey of 40 of the major food suppliers has revealed that these suppliers expect a 5 per cent penetration of the meat market by new protein products by 1977, 10 per cent by about 1981 and 25 per cent by 1990. [More…]
In the United Kingdom consumption of substitute meat has risen to 1,500 tons and, as the honourable member for Paterson (Mr O’Keefe) mentioned, a survey of 40 of the major food suppliers in the United Kingdom revealed that the suppliers expect a 25 per cent penetration into the meat market by 1990. [More…]
For instance, in 1970 our exports of meat to the United Kingdom where the use of synthetic meat is increasing, amounted to 76 million tons of frozen and chilled meat and 6,908,000 tons of canned meat. [More…]
After the legislation I previously mentioned had been enacted and enforced, the proportion of liner traffic from the United Kingdom to Uruguay carried by United Kingdom operators almost halved between 1962 and 1967. [More…]
On the United Kingdom to Brazil route it declined by almost a quarter between 1958 and 1967. [More…]
This decreased the United Kingdom share of this shipping even further. [More…]
The United Kingdom legislation, accepted by New [More…]
The United Kingdom legislation applies to the operation of vessels within certain seasons. [More…]
The United Kingdom Navigation Act provides for regulations governing the operation of ships within certain times in the North Sea and in other waters off the British coast and restricting shipping to within certain distances of the British coast. [More…]
The experience of the United Kingdom Board of Trade is there and can be accepted in total. [More…]
But, as I recall most of the amendments which have been introduced while I have been in the Parliament, they have been almost chapter and verse the provisions of the United Kingdom Board of Trade. [More…]
If it is good enough for New Zealand to accept these provisions - and we are getting closer and closer to New Zealand - particularly in relation to the operation of small craft we will be serving the country well if, instead of having lengthy discussions about whether we should do this or that and whether we should introduce small amendments which mean very little at the time they are introduced in this Parliament, we accept the provisions of the United Kingdom Board of Trade whose Navigation Act has been drawn up from experience and making allowances for particular seasonal conditions. [More…]
It appears that ships engaged in intrastate trade only are still registered and still operate under the British Act - the Merchant Shipping Act of 1894, which was amended by the United Kingdom Parliament in 1958. [More…]
If the States cannot pass these laws, it would appear that the only government that can do so is the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
Many of these countries require the same qualifications as the United Kingdom requires - that is, a ship must be owned by a British subject or subjects or a body corporate having its principal place of business in Her Majesty’s Dominions. [More…]
An Australian able seaman receives $6,977, almost the same as does a United Kingdom master. [More…]
Our constitutional system is quite different from that of the United Kingdom. [More…]
For instance, the United Kingdom does not have 6 States as we have and also its legal system is somewhat different from ours. [More…]
Last week the honourable member for Newcastle raised the matter of the vessel ‘Esso Macquarie’, a ship registered in Australia under the United Kingdom Act but owned in the Bahamas. [More…]
The United Kingdom has made great progress in this area of the relationship that should exist between a public service and the public without any detrimental effect on the public service. [More…]
No-one hears of criticism in the United Kingdom about this more open approach to the workings of the public service, yet here we do nothing about it notwithstanding that representations have been made now, going back to something like August 1970. [More…]
I ask the Prime Minister to give serious and sympathetic consideration to the representations made by the Council of Commonwealth Public Service Organisations so that Australia may be brought into line with the enlightened thinking overseas in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. [More…]
Let us have a monopolies commission to examine this industry just as the industry has been examined in the United Kingdom. [More…]
A third finding of the United Kingdom Monopolies Commission related to the lack of competition. [More…]
At the same time the United Kingdom butter market of 65,000 tons available to us will receive perhaps only 15,000 tons and at most 17,000 tons because we just do not have the production to meet our United Kingdom obligations. [More…]
I believe that there should be a quota system such as exists in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other European countries. [More…]
It may be of interest to realise that the United States is sending its Foreign Secretary to the SEATO conference, that the United Kingdom is sending Sir Alexander Douglas-Home to the SEATO conference and that the other diplomats who will be attending this conference will be, I think, on a slightly higher strata than the former distinguished diplomat who now graces the Labor Party. [More…]
This system operates in New Zealand and in the United Kingdom but those countries also have voluntary voting. [More…]
The Board has informed me that its current insurance policy was arranged through a broker with underwriters in Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
In that situation it seems very relevant to point out that statistics from my Department show that sponsorship patterns are very strong in relation to most southern European countries, most Middle East countries and most non-European countries, and that it is very weak or practically non-existent in relation to most northern European countries, most North American countries and the United Kingdom. [More…]
What that means, in so many words, is that if the Labor Party did what it says it will do we would get virtually no migrants from northern Europe or from North America, and that the number of migrants we would get from the United Kingdom would be cut by 60 per cent. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that imports of small pitch precision transmission chain from West Germany, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Japan are creating a severe problem for chain producing companies in Australia, particularly Renold Chains (Aust.) [More…]
In reporting on the proposition of holding strike ballots in the United Kingdom, the royal commission, the so-called Donovan Commission, of 1968 reported as follows - this is a paraphrase of what it said: [More…]
He talked with union leaders in the United Kingdom, including Mr Vic Fethers. [More…]
Mr Michael Clarke, Assistant Director of The Industrial Society in the United Kingdom, with splendid clarity, wrote: [More…]
Lord Balogh, Economic Adviser to the last United Kingdom Labour Government exposed the fallacy of the arguments in favour of collective bargaining when he pointed out that while the practice might show benefits to some highly organised sections of the community, these had been gained at the expense of other sections. [More…]
Although me United Kingdom and sonic other countries have discussed the possibility of banning supersonic flights over their territories, 1 am not aware of any definitive legislation that has been developed to ban such flights. [More…]
It was true, however, that 18-year-olds did not have the vote in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. [More…]
At the last elections in the United Kingdom men and women of 18 years of age had votes. [More…]
The report of the Committee on the Age of the Majority - the Latey Committee - in the United Kingdom, which is a most impressive and illuminating document, did not touch on the question of whether the voting age ought to be reduced. [More…]
Netherlands; Nicaragua - literate or married persons; Poland; Rumania; United Kingdom; Uruguay: U.S.S.R.; Venezuela; Vietnam (North); Vietnam (South); and Yugoslavia. [More…]
It was published in the United Kingdom in 1967 and the whole issue of the age of majority is examined in great detail. [More…]
The ties for better or worse with the United Kingdom, and indeed with the United States, in the quite, near future will have weakened. [More…]
I am aware that Asian dairy factories have been a worthwhile effort at diversification by the Australian dairy industry at a time when the dairy industry realistically appreciated that its continued opportunity for sales in the United Kingdom was likely to be impaired and that it was necessary to find new and diversified outlets for dairy products. [More…]
The public interest would not be well served if university teachers, for example, were paid a wage or salary which was not comparable with that which they could get overseas because if that situation applied we would very likely find the sort of migration which created the much talked about brain drain from the United Kingdom where people qualified to do a particular job were going somewhere else because they were offered competitive salaries on an international basis. [More…]
How it ever met Board of Trade requirements in the United Kingdom I will never know. [More…]
Such a university, using land based transmission, is already operating successfully in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It should be kept in mind that the Rio TintoZinc Corporation Ltd of the United Kingdom holds an 80.65 per cent interest in CRA Ltd and that the ownership of Comalco is as follows: Kaiser, 45 per cent; CRA, 45 per cent; and the Australian and New Zealand public, 10 per cent. [More…]
This is done now in the United Kingdom, where it was done originally by means of a Green Paper as distinct from a White Paper so that the proposition could be canvassed and evaluated. [More…]
On this issue of China and Vietnam the policies of Australia and the United Kingdom have diverged very considerably. [More…]
I know that the Houses of Commons in both Canada and the United Kingdom sit late On occasions, but usually it is at the very end of a session. [More…]
I have already dealt with the case in the United Kingdom where it was held that the realm of England finished at the low water mark. [More…]
It is not well known that the largest extractive industry operating on a continental shelf anywhere in the world is the sand and gravel industry of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Furthermore, the 1972 report of the Royal College of Physicians in the United Kingdom mentions the example of Russia, where no advertising is allowed - and I hope people will take note of that - and Italy, where a ban was introduced some years ago. [More…]
There has been a very successful programme in operation to diversify our trade away from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Back in 1958-59 about 32 per cent of Australia’s total exports went to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In 1966 Japan overtook the United Kingdom as our principal market. [More…]
All round, our trade promo tion campaign, in seeking to diversify away from the United Kingdom, is working satisfactorily. [More…]
Since the 1950s an increasingly large proportion of Australia’s total exports has been sold in new markets outside the United Kingdom and [More…]
Noone in his right mind could seriously accuse the West of having territorial ambitions because history records that since the end of World War II both the United Kingdom and the United States have been giving independence to their former colonies. [More…]
We have seen what the Opposition would do to the five-power defensive arrangement between Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
This is an indication of support from the Labor Left not for our traditional friends and allies, the United Kingdom and the United States, but for the national liberation movements supported by Hanoi and Peking. [More…]
It might be noted that the importance of this cardinal principle of parliamentary operations has been recognised lately, it would seem, by the United Kingdom Government as well. [More…]
I wish to inform the House that the Minister for Health and Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, is leaving Australia tomorrow to have discussions with health authorities in Europe, the United Kingdom and North America. [More…]
There are now 48 states party to the Convention including the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany. [More…]
Under the terms of the Washington Treaty the United Kingdom held the preponderance of naval power on behalf of what was then called the Empire. [More…]
She also receives $8.60 per fortnight which is an indefinite sickness benefit payable in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Is it a fact that in the United Kingdom all suboffice postmasters are issued with a handbook to give a true and accurate guide to their unit earnings? [More…]
He is a well known Oxford economist and he makes very clearly indeed the point that direct industrial action in the United Kingdom during the period of the Wilson administration was certainly counter productive to the needs and the position of disadvantaged groups in the general community. [More…]
We are afraid that in the end we will arrive back to the same position as before when the Government always had a ready excuse in the absence of reciprocal agreements for not transferring pensions to countries other than the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
Australia concluded a reciprocal agreement on social security with the United Kingdom on 8th June 1953, and the agreement commenced to operate in 1954. [More…]
Included in the countries which already pay such pensions are Canada, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, Greece, Holland, Italy, Malta, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Sweden in certain circumstances. [More…]
The countries are the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States of America, France and Yugoslavia. [More…]
In other words, contact has been established with only 13 countries, so that even if all eventually reply favourably, very great sections of our migrant population could be omitted, even allowing for the fact that reciprocity already exists with the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
In the Bill presented by the Leader of the Opposition it was possible for a citizen from the United Kingdom or New Zealand to live in Australia for 12 months and qualify for the Australian pension on the grounds of age or as an invalid or widow and return to live abroad for the rest of his or her life at the expense of the Australian taxpayer. [More…]
She was very concerned to learn on arrival that she did not qualify for a supplement to her Channel Islands pension, as that country was not included in the United KingdomAustralia reciprocal agreement. [More…]
In effect, it means that Mrs Le Mesurier’s residence in the Channel Islands cannot be treated as residence in Australia, as applies with all other citizens migrating to Australia from the United Kingdom or New Zealand. [More…]
I would therefore like the Minister to take this matter up with his colleague, the Minister for Immigration (Dr Forbes) and give consideration to amending the Act with a view to paying the Australian pension to all migrants over 80 years of age, after serving a qualifying period of 6 months, as applies to residents from the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
As a result of bilateral agreements with only 2 governments it has been possible for former United Kingdom and New Zealand citizens to take their pensions back to retirement in their own countries if they so desire, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. [More…]
United Kingdom and New Zealand citizens, because they will have to wait 20 years before they receive a pension. [More…]
An Australian born citizen at 65 years of age can go to his home town, and enjoy his pension, fie can also live abroad for as long as he likes, just so long as he goes to only 2 countries - the United Kingdom or New Zealand. [More…]
There is a second category of migrants - the migrants from the United Kingdom and New Zealand who can return to their home towns with a pension. [More…]
A convention on social security which was made between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom of Great Britain came into force 10 years ago. [More…]
What requests or suggestions were made by the Ministers for legislative or administrative action by (a) the United Kingdom (Hansard. [More…]
Does the submission of the Department of Health to National Health Service pharmacists rely on experience in Australia and the United Kingdom as evidence to support its method of costing National Health Service dispensing. [More…]
If so, is the United Kingdom’s National Health Service regarded as the best external reference model available for this purpose. [More…]
the method favoured by the Government, sometimes referred to as the cost-accounting method, which includes random activity sampling and is basically similar to the method used in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Proposal that the States should seek legislation by the United Kingdom Parliament similar to the Statute of Westminster. [More…]
Preparation for reviews has begun in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Turkey and the United Kingdom. [More…]
One of the most respected newspapers in the United Kingdom is the ‘Guardian’, which used to be called the ‘Manchester Guardian’. [More…]
Indeed the proportion of our work force unemployed is less than half the proportion unemployed in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Canada. [More…]
That comment is just as valid for us as it was for the United Kingdom and the Opposition would be well advised to recognise its implications and to use its in flue nev to ensure that the message is clearly understood by the industrial wing of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
One of them, of course, is based in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Can he say whether one-party regimes, which suppress trade union activity and criticism of their government, notably South Africa, Spain and Portugal, have sought favoured nation status with the European Economic Community in the event of the United Kingdom, which gives them tariff concessions, entering the Community. [More…]
Has Australia accepted a phasing out of trade preferences in the United Kingdom at a faster rate than has been accepted by one or more of the one-party nations referred to. [More…]
Of these countries only South Africa and Portugal currently receive tariff concessions in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The timetable for the phasing out of trade preferences in the United Kingdom is contained in the Treaty concerning the accession of the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland and Norway to the EEC. [More…]
It is the same for all third countries which have preferences in the United Kingdom, including South Africa, Portugal and Spain. [More…]
I would like to add that if Professor Goldman is critical of the Australian system and if, for example, he were using the government system in Britain or Sweden, he would find that if his child were 16 years of age she would have a much greater chance of still being at school in Australia than in Sweden or the United Kingdom. [More…]
If his child were a student in the United Kingdom she would have precisely half the opportunity of getting into a university or tertiary institution that she would have in Australia. [More…]
We make double the provision for university and college places that exists in the United Kingdom in relation to our population. [More…]
The output of graduates in relation to our population is greater than in Sweden, with which many critics have tried to compare us, and also significantly greater than in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I understand that in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada inquiries have been held into the advisability of setting up a Press council. [More…]
I think that in the year ended 30th June 1971 Japan supplied 17.2 per cent of Papua New Guinea’s imports, the United States of America supplied 11.4 per cent, the United Kingdom supplied 3.9 per cent and Australia supplied 51.2 per cent. [More…]
However subsequent statements have revealed that programme budgeting has not been applied as a revolutionary technique on the lines of the defence budgets of the United Kingdom, Sweden, West Germany and a number of other countries. [More…]
A longitudinal study in the United Kingdom which has followed some thousands of children from birth to maturity has shown that children from such homes begin school with a disadvantage which is liable to persist throughout the period of schooling. [More…]
These are the precise words used by the royal commission of Lord Donovan, known as the Donovan Commission, which inquired into the question of trade unions in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Trade Disputes Act of 1906 was altered by the House of Commons to restore to the trade union movementof the United Kingdom the immunity from actions for torts which everybody thought until the Taff Vale case it had enjoyed. [More…]
Markets in Europe are contracting as storage techniques there are improved; serious problems lie ahead in the light of the United Kingdom entry into the European Economic Community and returns have been eroded by significantly higher costs particularly by drastic freight increases - just to mention some of a range of difficulties with which the industry is faced. [More…]
Other such companies have interests in the United States and the United Kingdom as well as here. [More…]
I will not bore the House, if honourable members can hear me, by going through all the problems, but the main problem is that of exports due to currency re-arrangements and the fact that 60 per cent of volume is sold on: the United Kingdom market - a volume that might well turn out to be 30 per cent or less if and when the new conditions applying to Britain joining the Common Market come into effect. [More…]
The gathering impetus to the training task is helping to close the gap that existed between our efforts and those of other advanced industrial countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan, Sweden, Germany, The Netherlands and, latterly, New Zealand. [More…]
The United Kingdom spends something $800m a year on retraining, $300m of which is obtained by a levy on all employers towards the cost of giving those employers willing to undertake retraining schemes the financial assistance that is needed. [More…]
They were Canada, Luxembourg, United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
The Labor Party’s long term policy is that it will acquire large tracts of land on the fringes of Sydney, Melbourne and all the other capital and provincial cities and build planned communities such as we have in Canberra and in Europe, the United States, the United Kingdom and other places where every progressive government is taking some action. [More…]
In the United Kingdom unemployment is almost 4 per cent. [More…]
The United Kingdom, on the other side of the world, is having many troubles but nevertheless is doing better in Indonesia than Australia is. [More…]
In those 16 were the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and Switzerland. [More…]
For example, it is better than the unemployment rates at present in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Denmark, Sweden and Italy. [More…]
As for Australia having one of the lowest growth rates in the world, the same table shows that, for the last year in which comparative figures were available, the Australian rate was better than that for the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and the OECD countries. [More…]
The figures relate to a comparison made between Austrafia and Japan, the United Kingdom, France. [More…]
Therefore, I will compare Australia with Japan, the United Kingdom, France and the United States of America. [More…]
From 1965 to 1970 - and these are the latest figures that I was able to get - inflation in Australia rose from 100 to 121 points; the United States, which was nearest the Australian figure, rose from 100 to 122 points; Japan was next rising from 100 to 124; and the United Kingdom and France rose from 100 to 127. [More…]
Inflation in the United States rose from 115 to 122, a rise of 7 points; in Japan the rise was 7 points - from 117 to 124; and in the United Kingdom the rise was from 118 to 127, or 9 points. [More…]
If this is so, 1 would suggest that United Kingdom experience is not a sound guide, for 2 reasons: Firstly, I am told that many of the United Kingdom agreements were of long standing, and many of the firms concerned welcomed the chance to be rid of them. [More…]
Secondly, the register in the United Kingdom is open, and once a practice had been ruled illegal, it would be very difficult for other practitioners to continue. [More…]
France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Canada the right to sue for damages caused by strike action or boycott is unheard of. [More…]
This has been found in western European countries, in the United Kingdom and in North America. [More…]
However, interest oi certain governmental and other investments in thi United Kingdom can be paid to non-resident! [More…]
thereof free of United Kingdom income tax. [More…]
This interest can be paid to these ‘non-residents’ free of United Kingdom income or any other tax, including Australian tax. [More…]
Mobil - owned 100 per cent by the Mobil Oil Corporation of America; Esso - owned 100 per cent by the Esso Standard Eastern Inc. of America; BP - owned 100 per cent by BP of the United Kingdom; Caltex - owned 100 per cent by California Texas Oil Corporation of the United States of America; Neptune and Shell - both owned 100 per cent by the Royal Dutch/ Shell Group of Holland and the United Kingdom; Amoco - owned 100 per cent by the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, United States of America; Total - owned 100 per cent by the Compagnie Francaise de Petroles, France; regrettably, I must include Ampol - owned about 20 per cent overseas and certainly in the pockets of the multi-national giants because it relies on its crude oil from their sources; and H. C. Sleigh, owned nearly 30 per cent by the California Texas Oil Group of America and in this case entirely in the hands of Caltex for its refining. [More…]
A continuous advertising campaign is being conducted in the United Kingdom and it in general, and I believe in fair terms, represents what Australia has to offer. [More…]
After a person reads an advertisement, the next step is for him to see the Australian immigration officers in the United Kingdom to be counselled, to make specific inquiries and to be given literature^ - for example, a pamphlet on wage rates and employment opportunities, which is amended at least 3 or 4 times a year and contains all the information to which the honourable gentleman alluded and which is available to the potential migrant - before even making a decision to apply to come to the country and before coming into contact with a selection officer and a counselling officer who are there to see that the potential migrant has available to him accurate information about current conditions in Australia. [More…]
I make absolutely no apology for what my Department does in this respect in the United Kingdom in the terms of the honourable gentleman’s question. [More…]
The trade patterns all over the world have altered, particularly through the United Kingdom joining the European Economic Community. [More…]
Our defence preparations have been vitally affected by the United Kingdom withdrawing its forces from South East Asia. [More…]
The United Kingdom, United States of America and even West Germany and Japan have suffered from it. [More…]
As the right honourable member will know also, 2 lists are in existence, one held in Australia and one in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Before making a decision on this matter I sought the attitude of the United Kingdom and I found that the United Kingdom Government has a firm policy on the nondisclosure of records that would cause distress or embarrassment to living persons, particularly individuals, and that this list falls definitely within that category. [More…]
If the honourable member wishes to make comparisons I suggest that he make them not only on the Pacific route but also on the Kangaroo route to Europe and the United Kingdom, because in that case he will find that Qantas has a very substantial portion of the traffic that is carried. [More…]
At the last elections in the United Kingdom the vote was exercised at 18. [More…]
A study in the United Kingdom recently reported in a book written by Barker and Rush and titled The Member of Parliament and his Information’ contains very worthy information and I seek leave to have several pages of this book incorporated in Hansard. [More…]
I hope that those honourable members who have heard me speak tonight will take some time out to look at the information I incorporated in Hansard because the United Kingdom study shows that members of Parliament who have been in the English Parliament for more than 9 years lose their enthusiasm to do a good job and so the demand for secretarial support wanes. [More…]
Some of the nations that place high importance on the creation of a ministry of sport are the United Kingdom, France, Canada and South Africa. [More…]
Others hold interesting academic arguments that huge and powerful economies such as West Germany and Japan are not moving at this stage and that indeed the United Kingdom will be posed fairly shortly with entry into the European Economic Community. [More…]
The Malaysian Government having agreed that part of the Butterworth Air Base be occupied by the Royal Australian Air Force, and that the moveable assets acquired by Malaysia from the United Kingdom in 1970 under the Dudley Arrangement be left in situ for use by the Royal Australian Air Force, 1 have the honour to propose that the following arrangements should apply: [More…]
Australia may not assign or sub-let or part with the whole or part of the area assigned to the Royal Australian Aor Force, provided that with the agreement of Malaysia, New Zealand or United Kingdom Forces may from time to time be present in the Base. [More…]
A closer examination of that deficit shows that it relates to the United Kingdom and the United States, our great and powerful friends. [More…]
Last year $750m of it was with the United Kingdom and $690m . [More…]
It will not be quite so easy now to ignore a situation in which since 1951-52, over a period of 20 years, our deficit on current account with the United Kingdom has reached about $8,000m and with the United States $7,481m, a total of $15,501m. [More…]
So 1 direct attention to the next fact that the Minister now knows that the United Kingdom is going into the Common Market. [More…]
The Minister, as the Leader of the Country Party, must put the best gloss he can on the loss of the largest open market for rural products in the world, namely, the United Kingdom, which has gone into the Common Market. [More…]
I would direct the attention of the Minister for Trade and Industry (Mr Anthony) to the fact that it was on 3rd November last year that I asked him when we were to debate the statement made by Sir John McEwen on trade with the United Kingdom and the levies on imports, which statement incidentally is still on the notice paper and dates back to 28th October 1970. [More…]
Writing again to Mr Huckfield, M.P., on 8th June - shortly afterwards the Minister for Trade and Industry in Australia said that he had proposals before the Government of the United Kingdom and before the European Economic Community - Sir Alex DouglasHome stated: [More…]
The industry recognised that if the bulk of its exports were still going to the United Kingdom 10 years later the industry would be in serious trouble. [More…]
From the very day on which the Lord Chief Justice, of England, Lord Hewitt, wrote his famous polemic treatise, The New Despotism’, the people in the United Kingdom have been seized with the need to try to control in a firm, sensible fashion the great mass of subordinate legislation. [More…]
The United Kingdom went through the, Donoughmore Commission. [More…]
Canada spends 9.9 per cent; the United Kingdom, 8.8 per cent; Switzerland, 8.2 per cent; New Zealand, 6.6 per cent and Australia, 5.5 per cent. [More…]
Aircraft noise has been defined by the United Kingdom Noise Abatement Society which was responsible for the relocation of the United Kingdom’s major airport. [More…]
Fifteen years ago the United Kingdom authorities introduced into Heathrow Airport a noise monitoring system. [More…]
Dealing with the last quotation first, 1 can assure Dr Butler that an incoming Labor government will not act differently from its Labour counterpart in the United Kingdom. [More…]
That is the sort of thing that happened in 1967 when the United Kingdom devalued. [More…]
During question time today the Deputy Leader of the Opposition asked me a question which implied that radioactive wastes from the United Kingdom had been flown to Australia and buried at Maralinga in South Australia. [More…]
I think, first of all, of Canada, where the rate is presently running at 6.3 per cent; the United States of America where the rate is running at 5.5 per cent and, using the same basis of definition and measurement I think of the rate in the United Kingdom which is running at 5.3 per cent. [More…]
The Minister for Primary Industry will be aware that a delegation from the Austraiian Apple and Pear Board is to go overseas to negotiate freight rates for the shipment of apples and pears to the United Kingdom and Europe in 1973. [More…]
I have already indicated publicly that one step which would be taken very early by Australia would be the withdrawal of the preferences enjoyed by the United Kingdom on imports under the by-laws in the Australian customs tariff. [More…]
It also follows that for most items covered by Tariff Board reports released after 1st February 1973 a single rate of duty will apply The only exceptions will be where preferences are accorded on a range of specified items to those Commmonwealth countries, such as Canada and New Zealand, with which Australia has bilateral preferential agreements, or where preferences are given to Papua New Guinea or, on a limited range of items, to former or existing dependencies of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the context of the process of review of the tariff one result will be the eventual elimination of margins of preference currently enjoyed by the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom/ Australia Trade Agreement has specifically influenced Australian trade for 40 years. [More…]
This statement is telling Australia and the world that this historic situation between Australia and the United Kingdom is coming to an end. [More…]
It is the end of a phase in Australia’s history in which our trading relations were mainly with and dominated by the United Kingdom. [More…]
This agreement continued over a period when Australia’s trade with the United Kingdom was about 60 per cent of our total trade to a position where it is now 11 or 12 per cent. [More…]
The step that is proposed in this Agreement is the withdrawal of the preferences enjoyed by the United Kingdom on imports under by-laws of the Australian customs tariff. [More…]
Generally speaking, the effect of terminating United Kingdom preferences is the elimination of a duty on certain goods for the United Kingdom which is lower than the general rate. [More…]
The elimination of United Kingdom preferences would therefore have the effect of increasing the amount of tariff that is applicable to those goods. [More…]
That is to say, it would require those goods which now come in from the United Kingdom to come in at a higher rate of tariff than before. [More…]
In Canada it is 75 per cent; United Kingdom 96 per cent; New Zealand 92 per cent; and in the United States of America 56 per cent. [More…]
4112 (Hansard, 29th September 1971, page 1710) the New South Wales authorities consider that legislative action in relation to this matter cannot be taken until certain amendments are made to the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act which fetters the power of State Parliaments to legislate with respect to merchant shipping. [More…]
These difficulties are certain to be accentuated when the United Kingdom is fully integrated into the European Economic Community. [More…]
In spite of this those sectors of the fruit growing industry which have been supplying fresh apples and pears and canned peaches and pears to markets in Europe and especially the United Kingdom are now faced with a very severe over-production problem. [More…]
They have this force, notwithstanding that they can be repealed or altered in the United Kingdom with the same facility as any clog and goat Act. [More…]
Strangely it is one of the very few motor car manufacturing companies in Australia which have the right, independent of the parent company in the United Kingdom, to export to any place in the world without consulting the parent company. [More…]
The third best customers for our great meat trade was the United Kingdom which purchased beef worth $34.6m, mutton worth $7.1m, lamb worth $5. [More…]
The United Kingdom was the major buyer of Australian lamb. [More…]
The total United Kingdom purchases of all meats exceeded S71.7m. [More…]
So the United Kingdom is still a very important market for our meats despite the fact that it is entering the European Economic Community. [More…]
After all, if it is proposed that a currency be altered in value at the wrong time, as has occurred in other countries - in European countries during the 1930s and in Great Britain during the 1920s - such an incorrect decision can cause thousands of men to be unemployed as happened in the United Kingdom unnecessarily when an incorrect decision was made in that country in the middle 1920s. [More…]
The United Kingdom has 4.2 per cent of its work force unemployed, Canada 7.7 per cent, the United States of America 6.4 per cent, Austria 3.2 per cent and Belgium 3.6 per cent. [More…]
The Noise Exposure Forecast,along with similar systems developed in the United Kingdom and Europe, has been adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organisation as an acceptable standard for the measurement of aircraft noise nuisance. [More…]
An expert that I had in mind has accepted a professional appointment in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I refer to the answer which the honourable gentleman gave me last week about the ill treatment of internees brought to Australia from the United Kingdom on the ‘Dunera’ in September 1940. [More…]
Switzerland had 6.1 per cent, New Zealand 9.7 per cent, Italy 5 per cent, France 4.8 per ce.nt, Sweden 7.2 per cent, the United Kingdom 8.4 per cent, Japan 6.2 per cent and Denmark which has been quoted had 5.1 per cent. [More…]
His second comment was that Australia had failed to meet its export quota of butter to the United Kingdom every year for 3 years despite the highest prices since World War 2. [More…]
We have to look at the United Kingdom quota entitlements. [More…]
Because of the shortage of butter in world trade the United Kingdom import quota arrangements were replaced by an open individual licensing system for most of the 1971-72 season. [More…]
Further, the industry’s policy of diversifying exports to markets other than the United Kingdom was obviously the proper decision for the industry to make. [More…]
When we debated this legislation on the last occasion I pointed out the national importance of farming properties in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This was recognised a long time ago in the United Kingdom, and over there this kind of property receives virtually a double exemption. [More…]
Australia has a much lower maximum rate of tax than applies in the United Kingdom and in other countries. [More…]
As I indicated, at least the United Kingdom acknowledges the problem of the farm in relation to the total economic activity and gives that section of the community a double exemption as against that which applies to the rest of the community. [More…]
The load factor on the Australia to United Kingdom route has been lifted considerably as figures in my possession disclose. [More…]
While it has been established beyond doubt that almost all scholarship moneys under this Government - 95 per cent of them - go to people who would send their children through a secondary education without those grants, in the United Kingdom all grants to enable children to get through a secondary education go to children in need. [More…]
As a consequence, 30 per cent of the students of United Kingdom universities come from low income families of the United Kingdom. [More…]
What requests or suggestions were made by the Ministers for legislative or administrative action by (a) the United Kingdom (Hansard, 26th August 1970, page 566; 29th September 1971, page 1710 and 25th November 1971, page 3777), (b) the Commonwealth, (c) the Territories and (d) the States. [More…]
Meat prices in Europe are very high and we have sold one-third more meat to the United Kingdom over the last 12 months than we did in the previous year. [More…]
In this respect it contrasts violently with the system of scholarships in the United Kingdom which really does give a secondary education to those who otherwise would not have got it. [More…]
As the previous speaker the honourable member for Prospect (Dr Klugman) said, it would encourage overspending in comparison with any overseas country such as the United Kingdom. [More…]
If the truth be known, the United Kingdom would dearly love to be able to alter its scheme which has cost so much in committed funds. [More…]
Does he realise that a committee of inquiry in the United Kingdom examined the situation in about 1910 and recommended salaries for specialist services in hospitals in England and that it was adopted from then on? [More…]
It is noticeable that between the ages of 5 and 45 Australia and the U.S.A. have age specific rates (per 100,000) considerably in excess of Sweden and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I interpose at this point only to comment that the year 1966 is highly relevant because that was the year in which retail price maintenance was abolished in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I hope he will tell me how he stopped the speculators who were rampant in the United Kingdom and who were conning people to come here with the promise of a job but requiring them firstly to sign a contract to purchase ‘a home. [More…]
While unemployment remains at the present levels I believe that every British newspaper should publish the facts so that there is no response to the Government’s recruitment campaign in the United Kingdom for people to come out here and go onto unemployment relief, such as it is. [More…]
So far we have relied on the scheme for nominated immigrants from the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, no system of nominated immigrants could possibly be sufficient to handle the number of new settlers we now anticipate, and a development in the near future will be the arrival of unnominated people from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am not one who makes differentiations, but to illustrate how little the Minister knows about his Department I wish to draw the attention of the House to an answer he gave to me on 19th September - just over a week ago - in which he informed me that the number of personal nominees - the sort of people we are talking about - coming from the United Kingdom during the last 5 years has averaged approximately 40,000 a year. [More…]
This has been at a time when there has been no great advantage to people who wanted to come to Australia from the United Kingdom in being nominated. [More…]
Whether you look at the United Kingdom where the gas industry is nationalised, or whether you look at the United States of America or Canada where the industry is under private enterprise, in all cases you will find a Federal or central authority of reference and decision which we in Australia seem to bc lacking at this stage. [More…]
Lloyd’s are required to furnish an annual return of net premium income in Australia for the purpose of adjusting the amount of the covenant and to provide the commissioner with copies of returns furnished to the United Kingdom authorities. [More…]
Discussions were held in Australia and the United Kingdom with senior personnel of the Renold organisation. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the New Towns Act of 1946 was used as the vehicle for the creation of 14 new towns between 1947 and 1950, one in 1956 and 8 more between 1961 and 1968. [More…]
Where is the Australian counterpart for the sort of enterprise we see in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and other federal countries? [More…]
In the United Kingdom, London is clearly dominant, but below it in rank order are the Birminghams, Newcastles, IBristols and Plymouths. [More…]
Without any doubt it would mean that there would be a very severe curtailment of migration from the United Kingdom, North America and South America and a big reduction in migration from the northern European countries and the southern European countries. [More…]
nor do I think that there is any real necessity to have a 5 power arrangement so far as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia is concerned . [More…]
Countries which have contributed to this body include Denmark, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, India, Morocco, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom and so on. [More…]
Capital Territory had the unmitigated ignorance to suggest that our aid should be compared with the aid of the United Kingdom and of other European countries, but there is no comparison. [More…]
I regret having to say it, but the United Kingdom’s aid is little better than World Bank loans, yet it counts its contributions as aid. [More…]
If anything, United Kingdom aid is a little bit worse. [More…]
I ask the Treasurer: Has there been any reaction by Western countries, particularly the United Kingdom and the United States of America, to Australia’s recently announced measures for capital inflow? [More…]
The United Kingdom has certainly been one of the countries greatly affected by the volatility of capital flows. [More…]
We have the experience of the United Kingdom, France and Canada amongst others to draw on. [More…]
The trouble at the moment is that we have an Australian standard, a United Kingdom standard and a United States building stan dard. [More…]
Perhaps the most important one is the pending entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
These difficulties are certain to be accentuated when the United Kingdom is fully integrated into the European Economic Community. [More…]
And the Minister for Trade and Industry in relation to the general problem with the United Kingdom told the Parliament on 13th September: [More…]
Where identical containers are used, it will cost SA244 more to send a container of fresh pears to the United Kingdom than it will cost to send a container of fresh apples. [More…]
This information has been signalled through to the Victorian exporters who, I believe, are negotiating at the present time in the United Kingdom on freight rate structures. [More…]
At the same time, as I understand it, we are trying to negotiate for an extended period over which our preferences will be retained or, if you like, we are negotiating for the counter preferences that will be imposed upon us with the entry of the United Kingdom into the EEC to be phased in over a longer period. [More…]
Fifthly, we need better arrangements in the United Kingdom for the disposal and sale of our fruit. [More…]
In the United Kingdom its share has fallen from 36 per cent to 30 per cent whereas New Zealand has maintained its share and South Africa has increased its share by 13 per cent. [More…]
They each have one set mark which is known throughout the United Kingdom. [More…]
This authority would book shipping, negotiate freights, set up two or three licensed agents in the United Kingdom, organise and unify marketing procedures, upgrade selling techniques, speak with one voice in seeking out new markets throughout the world and give growers a new sense of security, protection and leadership. [More…]
The prospective increase in supplies of apples coming forward from other southern hemisphere suppliers indicates that Australian apples are likely to experience strong competition on the United Kingdom market The’ entry of the United Kingdom into the enlarged community, and the eventual relaxation of measures restraining imports of apples into the United Kingdom are likely to result in greater supplies coming forward from France and Argentina. [More…]
Over the years on many South Australian sales to the United Kingdom a small premium has been obtained. [More…]
The shortcomings of this theory can be illustrated with several examples of socialist planning in various parts of the world, not the least of which is one I have cited many times in this House of a committee appointed by a socialist government in the United Kingdom some years ago to inquire into the fuel industries. [More…]
To be specific, the most blatant example is the recent purchase of the Avonmouth Smelter, Bristol, United Kingdom, by Conzinc Riotinto of Aust. [More…]
Ltd, or more specifically Australian Mining and Smelting, United Kingdom, from Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation Ltd which was a deal to rid RTZ of a smelter which has been losing money consistently and which has a very doubtful future resulting from pollution and a lack of profitability. [More…]
RTZ’s biggest troubles lie in a lead-zinc smelter at Avonmouth, near Bristol, United Kingdom. [More…]
The closing of Avonmouth actually would bring to an end an era of Australia-United Kingdom participation in lead zinc smelting that has been based on a government to government agreement which was made in about 1918. [More…]
Fourthly, did such a transaction result in (a) the repatriation of profits in CRA without the payment of an Australian withholding tax; (b) the disposal of an unprofitable asset whose effect would be to dilute the profitability of an Australian subsidiary, so distributing some of the burden of losses from the United Kingdom to Australian shareholders and the Australian Treasury, and (c) the provision of funds to go ahead with the South West African project? [More…]
What uncertainties exist as such that relate to future United Kingdom pollution controls? [More…]
We are having discussions with Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and West Germany in relation to these matters. [More…]
honest and admit that only a fraction of this land was owned by people other than people from the United Kingdom. [More…]
As a member of an old pastoral family, I know that the old pastoral companies from the United Kingdom have been in Australia from the very beginning of white settlement. [More…]
The breakdown of that figure is 5.2 per cent United States held and 11.1 per cent United Kingdom held. [More…]
Would the honourable member for Hawker classify United Kingdom interests as alien interests? [More…]
In the United Kingdom, similar experiments are taking place. [More…]
Previously the subsidy was based on the cost of building a similar vessel in a United Kingdom shipyard. [More…]
In Japan and Sweden shipbuilding costs are about 15 per cent less than those in the United Kingdom. [More…]
But this has now changed and the situation can be envisaged where Australia in respect of its strategic situation may not have the great support facilities of the United Kingdom Navy and the great support and supply facilities of the United States of America. [More…]
We must have capital equipment, landing barges and other engineering supplies for which we have been dependent on the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
More and more countries have to be self reliant because they cannot rely, as they have done in the past, on the great friendly powers - the United States of America and the United Kingdom - which are now withdrawing many of their forces. [More…]
Since the Second World War the New Towns Commission in the United Kingdom has been able to attract 1 million people to its planned communities. [More…]
I stress that in the United Kingdom, with all its enormous resources, the authorities have been able to attract only 1 million people to their new cities. [More…]
He might also consider the New Towns approach in the United Kingdom. [More…]
and (3) The High Commissioner and Mr Maudling, the previous Home Secretary, have had several talks during the last 2 years about Australians entering the United Kingdom particularly when the British Government’s immigration legislation was being drawn up. [More…]
In April-September 1970 on the United Kingdom-Europe trade the conference sought an increase of Hi per cent over the 1970-71 rates. [More…]
It gives details of the trade to the United Kingdom, the east coast of the United States, the east coast of Canada, Singapore and West Malaysia. [More…]
For 1972 the rates of freight for exports of Australian dried fruits to overseas markets were increased by the following amounts: - United Kingdom, Continent and Ireland 1S.7S per cent plus 8.S7 per cent which equals 24.32 per cent; Canada - East Coast, 25 per cent plus 6.32 per cent which equals 31.32 per cent; Canada - West Coast, 7.5 per cent plus 6.32 per cent which equals 13.82 per cent; New Zealand 7.5 per cent and other markets 25 per cent. [More…]
The knock down car freight rate from Australia to Papua New Guinea is $24.23 a ton, while the rate from Japan to New Zealand is $24.85 a ton and from the United Kingdom to New Zealand $31.09 a ton. [More…]
I think the beauty of them all is that the freight rate from the United Kingdom to Melbourne is $30.35 a ton whereas from the United Kingdom to New Zealand it is $31.09 a ton. [More…]
I recollect that last year charges in the United Kingdom went up by 32 per cent. [More…]
It is the largest item of export from Australia, particularly to Europe, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Japan. [More…]
Workers’ compensation was introduced approximately 100 years ago in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There is a complete lack of passion on the part of the Government to get the underprivileged child anywhere through a secondary education or to get him an opportunity at the university level and in this respect we contrast with the position in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Right Honourable Margaret Thatcher suggested to me that in the United Kingdom about 30 per cent of the student body at universities came from wage earners. [More…]
However, 1 think that the comparison the honourable member for Fremantle made with the United Kingdom is an odd one indeed. [More…]
A comparison between the numbers of 16-year-olds m full time education shows that Australia performs a good deal better than the United Kingdom. [More…]
A secondary student in an Australian school has a much greater opportunity to go to a university or a college than has a student in a secondary school in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In Australia we make about double the provision of tertiary places that is made in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I stress to honourable members that Australia makes double the provision of tertiary places that the United Kingdom makes, that scholarship schemes have been very greatly expanded, that now within universities a greater proportion of students than ever before is supported by Commonwealth scholarships, and that those scholarships for next year and from next year on are to be made available on much more favourable terms than ever before in all their history, again providing the greater part of the support for low income families. [More…]
United Kingdom - The Agricultural Mortgage Corporation makes loans to farmers for terms up to 40 years for land purchase and improvements. [More…]
Will the Prime Minister protest to the British Prime Minister about the blatant discrimination against Australian nationals seeking employment in the United Kingdom? [More…]
If the reply he receives is not satisfactory will he undertake to remove any preferential commerical treatment at present enjoyed by the United Kingdom in Australia? [More…]
In recent days the Australian High Commissioner has had very useful discussions with, I think, Mr Carr and other members of the United Kingdom Government relating to the entry of Australians into the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom in 1959- 60 the total expenditure on health services was Stg902m. [More…]
In other words, just taking those 3 comparisons, health costs in Australia are increasing at about the same rate as they have in the United Kingdom and the United States of America - that is, the total expenditure on health services, whoever it is expended by. [More…]
The honourable member for Chisholm told us an interesting story about a doctor who worked in 30 different surgeries in the United Kingdom in one year. [More…]
The speeches of the honourable member for Prospect and the honourable member for Kingston (Dr Gun) remind me of a statement by a prominent politician in the United Kingdom who is quoted as saying that an army general did not necessarily make the best Minister for Defence, and a doctor not necessarily the best Minister for Health. [More…]
He quoted figures for health costs in Australia and compared them with increasing costs in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
What the honourable member proposed, in substance, would give Australia power to control a ship off the American coast, off the United Kingdom coast or off the coast of any country. [More…]
The countries where they have their tankers registered, such as the United States, United Kingdom and France, have introduced preventive methods. [More…]
I understand that similar legislation enacted by the United Kingdom Government has penalties not of $50,000 but of Stg50,000 which, I understand, is a heck of a lot more. [More…]
I should like the Minister to indicate why the Government has not increased the penalties comparable to those of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Firstly, he questioned the level of penalties and said that one country, the United Kingdom, provided for a fine of Stg50,000 whereas Australia proposed a maximum penalty of $50,000. [More…]
United Kingdom- 17th March 1971, vandalism to High Commission. [More…]
There ought to be a tribunal set up to test the competence of directors, as is provided in the United Kingdom Act. [More…]
The Department of Immigration has centralised its overseas printing in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; the Department of Trade and Industry arranges its overseas printing in all continents; while the Australian News and Information Bureau has its printing for overseas distribution done mainly in Australia. [More…]
I refer, for example, to Canada, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The United Kingdom and the United States have signed and ratified the Tokyo and Hague conventions and have signed the Montreal Convention. [More…]
The important point about the signing and ratification of the Hague and Montreal conventions is that both the United Kingdom and United States signed them in 1970 and both ratified them in 1971. [More…]
Both the United States and United Kingdom signed the Montreal Convention in 1971, over 12 months earlier than this Government saw fit to do so. [More…]
It is far larger than the resources of the United Kingdom in the North Sea or the entire concessions on the Gulf of Mexico. [More…]
Declarations made by the United Kingdom Government applying without modification Conventions it had ratified to the Straits Settlements or to the Colony of Singapore in the period up to 1955 in the case of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and up to 1958 in the case of Christmas Island, were in respect of the following Conventions which specifically provided for making such declarations: [More…]
It is reported that the corporation is to be 50 per cent owned by the State Power Board and 50 per cent by private and municipal utilities, (c) British Nuclear Fuels Ltd, is at present wholly owned by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany the franchise age is 18 years. [More…]
Australia’s voting in the United Nations has moved away from general support of the United Kingdom or the United States on many issues, because we have beliefs and ideals in common, to support for African sponsored non-aligned resolutions, aligning Australia with the third world. [More…]
The negative acts are the hostility that has been shown to the United States on a number of issues and the double-dealing with the United Kingdom over Singapore. [More…]
In foreign affairs we are being moved in favour of the non-aligned or the communist world against the United Kingdom and the United States of America, democracies that with which I should have thought most Australians believe we have ideals, beliefs and institutions very much in common. [More…]
There are 235,000 people employed in the aircraft industry in the United Kingdom, 100,000-plus in the French industry and 15,000 in Canada and Italy. [More…]
The House will remember the significant achievement of the previous Government in negotiating the Five Power Arrangements and persuading the United Kingdom to reverse its previous decision to withdraw entirely from the Far East. [More…]
It apparently satisfied Lord Carrington, although no doubt he had his own views of the craven decision of the Australian Government to shelter behind the combat troops of the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore and to withdraw our troops. [More…]
To illustrate what I am saying, I ask leave to incorporate a table showing a comparison of Australian and United Kingdom prices received by drug manufacturers of selected items. [More…]
It should be noted that comparable cost data are available to the British Government and that the cost of penicillin in Australia is 2i times that in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Government has been prepared to allow relationships with traditional allies - the United Kingdom and the United States of America - to atrophy by placing its primary importance on the neutrality in South East Asia which will - I quote from the Speech - ‘involve the phasing out of present military arrangements such as the Five Power Arrangements’. [More…]
If one looks at the experience of other countries, particularly the United Kingdom, where council houses have been a problem to local councils and national government alike for many, many years, it seems strange that at a time when everybody else in the world is moving away from leasehold tenure of houses as a solution to the housing problem this Government should make a giant step in that direction. [More…]
But it is well to remember our very close links of the past with the United Kingdom, links which are still very important, as well as our necessity to have strong alliances with the United States of America on whom we will have to depend. [More…]
They are the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, France, Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden. [More…]
This is well summarised in the table which shows a social security contribution of nil for Australia as against 5 per cent for the United Kingdom, 5.8 per cent for the United States of America and rising as high as 10.8 per cent for Germany, 14.5 per cent for The Netherlands and 14.6 per cent for France. [More…]
In Australia’s case the figure is 24.7 per cent of gross national product as against 30.2 per cent for the United States of America which is the next lowest on the list, 37.1 per cent for the United Kingdom, 37.3 per cent for France, and 31.1 per cent for Canada. [More…]
It is all very well for honourable members opposite to brush these difficulties away but in the United Kingdom there has grown up a class of what you would almost call ‘professional unemployed’. [More…]
In the midlands of the United Kingdom there is a class of professional unemployed. [More…]
Those honourable members who have been in the Parliament as long as I have will know that when honourable members opposite were in government it was a settled technique for them to suggest that this country was enormously important in the eyes of the United States of America and in the eyes of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In 1942, when John Curtin made his appeal to the United States for assistance, the standard of patriotism in Australia was loyalty to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. [More…]
In the United Kingdom as far back as 1912 the House of Commons adopted a resolution upholding convention 94 and the United States of America emulated the United Kingdom example many years ago. [More…]
It is completely consistent with practices in the United Kingdom. [More…]
At present it appears that unless the Government makes a special decision to make its early December decision retrospective to late October 1972 - this would be a backdating of about 6 weeks - the only possible compensation that he will receive will be under a United Kingdom Act which deals with compensation for victims of crimes. [More…]
Then, the United Kingdom was insulted. [More…]
Of particular relevance to Australia are those countries modelled on the Westminster model of government - the United Kingdom, New Zealand and, to a lesser extent, the United States In Canada the franchise age is 18 years, as it is in Ceylon and the United States. [More…]
This destroyed the myth that Australians, in general, are less interested in politics than the corresponding social groups in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Government’s policy is also a disincentive to migrants from North America, northern Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Without going into the full detail of them let me say that in recent years there has been a significant decline in the volume of our exports to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The combination of currency adjustment and entry into the European Economic Community has meant very real problems for the wine industry in relation to its ability to sell the same quantity of wine in the United Kingdom as it used to sell. [More…]
More recently we have seen the Conservative Government in the United Kingdom introduce a prices and wages board. [More…]
With respect to idoine 131, the report tells that the Australian National Radiation Advisory Committee, in line with recommendations issued by the United Kingdom Medical Research Council, adopted a safety level of 840 millirads per year for iodine 131. [More…]
When this was not acceptable to the movers we abstained at the committee level vote, along with 13 other countries including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, because we disagreed with the details of the wording. [More…]
As the honourable member said, there have been outbreaks of foot and mouth disease from time to time in Europe and, for example, it has cost the United Kingdom many hundreds of millions of dollars to stamp out the disease when it has entered that country. [More…]
Basically, the revision was made necessary by changes since 1960 in Australian and New Zealand taxation laws but it also takes account of subsequent developments reflected in Australia’s more recent double taxation agreements, notably those with the United Kingdom and Japan. [More…]
One recalls a similar type of proposal being put forward by the last British Labour Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, in his first year of his Labour government, speaking of the need for the United Kingdom to increase its growth rate. [More…]
The Minister for Services and Property referred to experiments in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world. [More…]
The Minister for Services and Property, now at the table, mentioned that the experience in the United Kingdom was that the younger members of Parliament were in favour of televising the proceedings while the older members were not so much in favour of it. [More…]
I certainly hope, since I have stated that in my view all the members of this Parliament are reasonably young, that they will follow the example of the United Kingdom where the younger members of the Parliament voted in favour of the proposition and the older members - they are certainly in the minority here - were less inclined to favour such a scheme. [More…]
One of the great difficulties experienced in the United Kingdom was how to achieve balance and objectivity. [More…]
Let me comment briefly on the situation which confronted the Parliament in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In conclusion I say that perhaps one of the most eminent television practitioners in the world, Mr Robin Day, in giving evidence before the committee in the United Kingdom had this to say: [More…]
He may be told a thing , or two if he goes to America, but there is no question that if the Prime Minister, after he visits the United Kingdom, wishes to call in at Washington, as one would expect him to do, he should do so. [More…]
There was a reference to the situation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am very happy to refer to the situation in the United Kingdom because more than a century ago- nearly 200 years ago - they were very concerned about the existence of the rotten boroughs. [More…]
It is worth noting that in the United Kingdom, because as I understand it, that country had become concerned about the frequency of redistributions, amendments were introduced so that there would not be redistribution changes more frequently than every 10 to 15 years. [More…]
In the United Kingdom electorates move from 40,000 to 80,000 voters and in the United States of America, under its Supreme Court ruling, variations of more than 15 per cent from the average have been accepted. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, small though it may be it would fit into the State of Victoria at the time of the last redistribution, variations of up to 50 per cent from the quota were given for remoteness, of all things. [More…]
the differentiation between the ordinary hours of 40 hours per week for the predominantly manual workers and the ordinary hours of 35 hours a week for the predominantly professional administrative and clerical group is paralleled in the United Kingdom where the National Board for Prices and Incomes described it as ‘the result of an historical accident’; [More…]
Have estimates been made of the drop in trade between the United Kingdom and Australia as a result of the United Kingdom Government placing import levies on a range of Australian products. [More…]
What is the total value of import levies placed on Australian products by the United Kingdom Government to date. [More…]
What are the matching levies that have been placed by the Australian Government on United Kingdom imports to offset the unilateral action of the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
I quote a statement by a representative of the United Kingdom Chamber of Shipping which appeared in the ‘Australian’ of 1st March. [More…]
The information was published in the October 1972 issue of the United Kingdom Department of Employment Gazette. [More…]
To all cases not provided for hereinafter, or by sessional or other orders or practice of the House, resort shall be had to the practice of the Commons House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in force for the time being, which shall be followed as far as it can be applied. [More…]
There are also long-standing reciprocal social security benefit rights for Australians in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
For instance, in 1971 the United Kingdom expelled 105 members of the Soviet Embassy staff in the United Kingdom as persona non grata. [More…]
The 3 major United States car manufacturers in Australia and the United Kingdom firm British Leylond enjoyed different conditions from those pertaining to their parent companies. [More…]
Two such developments that are of the closest concern to Australia are the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community and the rapid steps being taken by Japan and the [More…]
The virtual exclusion now of Australia from the United Kingdom market means that we will have to look vigorously for markets in other parts of the world, such as Japan, South East Asia and the Middle East countries. [More…]
New Zealand, while obtaining some advantage in the United Kingdom during the 5 years transitional period, will not be able to satisfy her total export requirements and therefore she too will have to look for other markets. [More…]
Other countries - notably New Zealand and the United Kingdom - have adopted already this basic criterion for these deductions. [More…]
The People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Barbados, Republic of Botswana, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Fiji, The Gambia, the Republic of Ghana, Guyana, the Republic of India, Jamaica, the Republic of Kenya, the Kingdom of Lesotho, the Republic of Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, the Republic of Nauru, New Zealand, the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sierra Leone, the Republic of Singapore, the Republic of Sri Lanka, the Kingdom of Swaziland, United Republic of Tanzania, the Kingdom of Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, the United Kingdom and Colonies, the Independent State of Western Samoa and Republic of Zambia. [More…]
It is important to end the confusion which has been permitted to continue since the Citizenship Act of 1 949 and the use of terminology which has given many Australians the mistaken impression they are not only Australian citizens but also citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
It also obviates the confusion which exists in law between the Queen of Australia and the Queen of the United Kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
In the first place there are those, although not affected by the previous Government’s legislation in this field, covered by the comprehensive social security benefits with the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
Clearly the Government is not yet in a position to indicate what the future situation will be of Australian residents in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am talking now about the reciprocal agreement with the United Kingdom particularly. [More…]
The second reason is that under our existing agreement with the United Kingdom, people who go to the United Kingdom - I >tm speaking not of those people who qualify under an agreement made under section 137 of the Act but of those people who have lived here for 10 years or more - are paid a pension in the United Kingdom, that being their permanent residence. [More…]
That is common to most European systems and to the United Kingdom system. [More…]
For example, using a conversion at the current rate of exchange, the United Kingdom standard rate of pension is equivalent to $13.60 a week as against our pension of $21.50 a week. [More…]
The married rate in the United Kingdom is equal to $21,90 a week as against the Australian married rate of $37.50. [More…]
The United Kingdom pensions are comparatively high. [More…]
In respect of the United Kingdom and New Zealand we were covered by reciprocal agreements. [More…]
This was meant to cover the normal working life and to bring some kind of congruence and equivalence with the general position in Europe or the United Kingdom. [More…]
We do not want to become a kind of divorce Bill for the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is true that a couple coming from overseas, contemplating this separation or divorce, would have to serve their 5 years here, but if they came from the United Kingdom or New Zealand, that of course would not be so. [More…]
Let us take an Australian citizen who came from the United Kingdom and has been in Australia for 10 years and therefore is eligible for a pension in his own right irrespective of the agreement with the United Kingdom. [More…]
At present that person could not take his pension overseas, but if he went back to the United Kingdom his pension would be paid there. [More…]
This, of course, is balancing up the obligation we have undertaken to pay pensions to United Kingdom residents here in Australia, If he went back the pension would be paid by the United Kingdom. [More…]
Under this Bill, if he went back the pension would not be paid by the United Kingdom; it would be paid by us because our rate is in excess of the United Kingdom rate. [More…]
If he had the qualifying period in the United Kingdom before he came here, as many of these people have, he would be entitled to draw a British pension as well as an Australian pension. [More…]
This renegotiation will be dependent on the proposals we make being acceptable to the United Kingdom, unless the Minister intends to take the strong arm view and say to the United Kingdom: ‘If you do not like our terms we will denounce the agreement, as we have a right to do, and then former United Kingdom citizens in Australia will not get the benefit of the agreement’. [More…]
We all want a fair thing to be done to the migrants that come to Australia, whether they come from the United Kingdom or from Europe or wherever it may be. [More…]
Portability of Australian pensions, apart from the special arrangements we formerly had with the United Kingdom and New Zealand, was provided for the first time in a Bill presented to the Parliament in April last year. [More…]
It is hard to perceive the principle on which we could reasonably say that one might have a double pension in any part of the globe but the United Kingdom. [More…]
In addition, we have long standing agreements with the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
I am not in a position to argue that, to be honest, but I would doubt it very much, even if the number included the United Kingdom. [More…]
They could, for instance, draw an Australian pension here and as a result of portability rights overseas could draw, for instance, a United Kingdom pension, a West German pension or a pension from any one of a number of countries. [More…]
We have within this country, of course, a situation where people from the United Kingdom draw 2 pensions. [More…]
They have an Australian pension right and they have a full entitlement to a United Kingdom pension. [More…]
I refer to the reciprocal agreement with the United Kingdom or New Zealand. [More…]
When those people go abroad to the United Kingdom or New Zealand, as the case may be, they can draw their temporary pensions while they are there. [More…]
If the Minister looks at Article 8 and Article 27 of the existing agreement with the United Kingdom he will see what I mean. [More…]
Article 27 says that a person shall be taken to be permanently resident in Australia if he has resided here 3 years or he has been here for one year and the authorities of both countries - that is, the United Kingdom and Australia; it cannot be done unilaterally - have not agreed that he should not be treated as a permanent resident. [More…]
It says that for the purposes of any claim to receive, an age pension a person who is permanently resident in Australia shall be treated as if he was a resident there during any period in which he was resident in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We do not accept that it is our right to legislate in relation to attitudes which are largely the prerogative of the United Kingdom or New Zealand governments. [More…]
Let us consider, for example, the many thousands - indeed, many tens of thousands - of people who have lived in Australia, perhaps as children, and are now resident in either New Zealand or the United Kingdom. [More…]
These people in the United Kingdom certainly would be eligible, if they have the other qualifications, for a United Kingdom pension. [More…]
Admittedly the United Kingdom pension is much smaller than the Australian pension unless they build it up with graduated contributions, but they ure eligible for that pension. [More…]
If these people elect to return to Australia and have a holiday here in their homeland for only a year they can go back to the United Kingdom and take with them a permanent Australian pension which would be payable in addition to their United Kingdom pension. [More…]
Pensions paid to Australian residents by overseas Governments or other institutions, whether in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, are of course liable to change in terms of their Australian dollar value if the exchange rate between the currency of the country concerned and the Australian dollar changes. [More…]
1 should mention that, as a result of the recent exchange rate changes, some persons resident in Australia in receipt of a pension from the United Kingdom could have become eligible for an Australian Social Service pension for the first time and others could have qualified for an increased Social Services pension. [More…]
These include institutions which are specifically involved in assistance to small business, such as the German Management and Productivity Association (RKW) of the Federal Republic of Germany; the Small Business Administration of the United States; the Smaller Enterprise Agency of Japan; and the industrial liaison scheme in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I urge those honourable members who are interested in this matter to read the United Kingdom Bolton Committee report presented to the House of Commons in November 1971. [More…]
In 1901, a union in the United Kingdom placed a picket on the premises of an employer where a strike was taking place. [More…]
Mr Michael Clarke, Assistant Director of the Industrial Society of the United Kingdom, with splendid clarity, wrote: [More…]
Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Australia and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith. [More…]
It still contains the special references, and in fact gives first place, to the Queen’s title as Queen of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
Accordingly I am able to anounce that I have her full concurrence in an amendment, if the Australian Parliament approves, which would result in dropping the specific reference to the United Kingdom and the reference ‘Defender of the Faith’. [More…]
I had earlier discussed it with the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hailsham, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Offices, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, and the United Kingdom Attorney-General, Sir Peter Rawlinson, Q.C. [More…]
The outcome of the discussions in London is that the Australian Government will introduce a Bill as soon as possible requesting and consenting to the enactment of United Kingdom legislation abolishing appeals to the Privy Council in the remaining instances in which appeals still lie from Australian courts. [More…]
I accordingly took the matter up with the United Kingdom Prime Minister. [More…]
The United Kingdom takes the view that the question whether appeals should be brought to the Privy Council from the courts of a Commonwealth country is essentially a question for the Commonwealth country concerned. [More…]
I think it correct to say that the United Kingdom would wish moreover that whatever can be done in and by Australia should be done in and by Australia herself. [More…]
One way of proceeding is for the Australian Government and Parliament to request and consent to the enactment of United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
If there is no challenge, or if in the event of challenge the validity of the legislation is upheld, the Australian Government would expect the United Kingdom Government to introduce into the United Kingdom Parliament the legislation requested by the Australian Government and Parliament and that it be consented to. [More…]
Before going into details about my London discussions, I would like to place on record the Government’s general approach to relations with the United Kingdom. [More…]
I indicated that the Forum countries believe that the United Kingdom should talk to the French. [More…]
Sir Alec also pointed out that the United Kingdom had already urged the French to sign the partial nuclear test ban treaty. [More…]
In conclusion, I would inform the House that during the 14 days I was away, including Easter week, I believe I was able to emphasise our growing interest in regional co-operation in the South Pacific, to take steps to put our constitutional relationship with the Ignited Kingdom on a more mature and rational basis and to clear away any misconceptions that may have existed about our relations with the United Kingdom, to establish as Prime Minister personal contact with Her Majesty the Queen and the Pope, and to pay a goodwill visit to the small but important Commonwealth country of Mauritius. [More…]
In each of the 4 areas in which I stopped - the South Pacific, the United Kingdom, Italy and Mauritius - I was able to outline the general direction of the Government’s foreign policies and the more independent stance we are taking in 4 diverse and widely separated areas of the world. [More…]
That has not been true since 1949; yet Australians were sent overseas with documents that disguised their Australian citizenship and also, I might say, disguised Australia and in the process alternatively amused or embarrassed our friends in the United Kingdom and certainly made monkeys out of the Australians who believed in the emphasis given to their citizenship in the documents. [More…]
Both the United Kingdom and the United States of America have been very sluggish in doing this. [More…]
There are not significant numbers of American settlers in this country in receipt of the type of fixed or occasionally variable income of the type to which I have referred, but there are large numbers of United Kingdom migrants living in Australia who are in receipt of pensions, government or employer-base, who have been adversely affected in terms of their real Australian income as a result of the revaluation of the Australian dollar on the 2 occasions on which the effect of international currency movements has been to revalue the Australian dollar. [More…]
If they are eligible under the means test as it still operates, they do not count the pension that they receive from the United Kingdom in their assessable means. [More…]
Numbers of people have approached me who have been entitled to United Kingdom police pensions or pensions from their employers. [More…]
Some of them have been in United Kingdom Government schemes. [More…]
The Government, in its manic preoccupation with the operation of industrial power and bargaining by duress, would be well advised to recall the words of the Oxford economist and a former senior economic advisor to the previous United Kingdom Labour Government, Lord Thomas Balogh, who reported the industrial relation experience of the last British Labour Government in these terms: Free bargaining Increased inequality; it resulted in a relative ‘worsening of the position of the poorest paid and least aggressively organised classes of society . [More…]
The inherent deficiencies of collective bargaining were clearly recognised by the Labour Party Secretary of State for Employment in the United Kingdom when she said in 1969: [More…]
There are clear penalties in countries such as Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway and Israel for the contravention of collective agreements. [More…]
The Minister in his second reading speech has mentioned that this system already operates in Queensland and has operated in the United Kingdom since 1906. [More…]
By means of this Bill we simply are introducing that system which has operated in the United Kingdom since 1906. [More…]
It is ironic that at a time when the United Kingdom has just repealed laws passed in 1906 giving civil immunity to unions, the Minister is aiming to introduce those same laws into Australia. [More…]
This has applied in the United Kingdom and I regret that we have imported some of those problems; however, I advert to that only briefly. [More…]
He has pointed to the analogy that exists between Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Not ons honourable member tonight could deny that the people in the United Kingdom have been virtually driven to their knees by inflation and large scale unemployment, to a large extent as a result of the unco-ordinated activities of shop stewards and the anarchy that they have introduced into British industry, making it impossible to fulfil orders. [More…]
As a consequence they have been competed out of international markets and slowly and steadily we found, until the Heath Government came to power, the United Kingdom balance of payments changing too rapidly and Britain losing its competitive influence in world affairs. [More…]
At the moment, valium happens to be the biggest volume prescription under the national health scheme and its cost, therefore, is of some concern to the Government, particularly as it is approximately twice the price which has been condemned in the United Kingdom. [More…]
For one thing, the Government does not have access to the accounts of the drug firms operating in Australia and certainly not of the parent firms in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. [More…]
I think that the Department is becoming a little more expert in such negotiations and there is now more comparability between the price ranges in Australia and those in the United Kingdom and New Zealand although, by and large, we are still at some disadvantage but certainly not as at great a disadvantage as 5 or 6 years ago. [More…]
Italy is one country that has changed this law as have the United Kingdom and Canada. [More…]
I ask the honourable gentleman: Is it correct that the proposal to request the United Kingdom Parliament to legislate to abolish appeals from the Australian States to the Privy Council is based upon a desire to remove all remaining vestiges of colonialism and, further, to give expression to the contemporary mood for Australian nationalism? [More…]
If that is the case, would the honourable gen tleman accept an invitation to consider placing in the requesting Bill to the Imperial Parliament a further request that the Statute of Westminster be amended so that any further appeals to the legislative authority of the United Kingdom Parliament will be excluded? [More…]
Fortunately, members of the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, enlightened judicial gentlemen as they are, held that that man had a sufficient remedy, so a person in that situation in Australia ought to have the same kind of remedy. [More…]
The Minister for Labour is seeking in effect to introduce the provisions of early United Kingdom legislation which protected unions from conspiracy and other tortious acts done in furtherance of industrial action. [More…]
That Bill was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1906. [More…]
No State court or Federal Parliament has sought this, but here we have this Government, some 66 years after the United Kingdom legislation, trying to introduce the same provision into Australia. [More…]
Who would have thought there would have been a strike flare up at Pilkington’* in the United Kingdom 3 years ago after a period of more than a century during which there had not been one single day’s stoppage? [More…]
It is easy for United Kingdom settlers to accept these historical features For settlers from other countries, I submit, the issue is less clear and probably less important. [More…]
The Government feels that this is particularly necessary, for many British migrants are under the mistaken impression that their United Kingdom background and their long residence in Australia automatically confers Australian citizenship upon them. [More…]
Before the suspension of the sitting I was making the point that many United Kingdom settlers are under the mistaken impression that long residence in our country automatically confers upon them Australian citizenship. [More…]
I refer to the cessation of advertising in the United Kingdom, the trumpeting abroad of higher standards - mostly phoney - the publicity given to absence of discrimination in selection and admission, and the general impression in Britain that the present Government is anti-British. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition referred this evening to the adverse effects that the proposals contained in this Bill have already had and will continue to have on the number of migrants coming to Australia from the United Kingdom. [More…]
They indicate the interest that still exists in the United Kingdom on the part of people seeking to come to Australia. [More…]
That certainly indicates that people from the United Kingdom are still at least as anxious as they ever were under the previous Government to come to Australia. [More…]

We in Queensland, whilst upset at the cavalier attempts of the Prime Minister to downgrade in a rather facetious manner the forthcoming visit to the United Kingdom of the honourable Jo Bjelke-Petersen, the Premier of Queensland, know that our State will have its constitutional rights safeguarded by the appeal of our Premier to the authorities to have the rights of our federal system preserved. [More…]
The honourable member for Darling Downs (Mr McVeigh) spoke of the proud record of the United Kingdom-Australia relationship, but the present immigration policy of the United Kingdom towards Australia certainly is not a proud one. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Lynch) spoke of the special preferment and special relationship existing between the United Kingdom and this country. [More…]
I would like to read to the House an extract from the immigration policy of the United Kingdom presented in the House of Commons on 25th January by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Mr Robert Carr, which is reported at page 654 of the House of Commons Hansard. [More…]
After talking about the interdependence of Commonwealth countries, the United Kingdom, the colonies and immigration policy he said: [More…]
Mr Carr went on to mention that the maximum period of a work permit that is allowed on entry into the United Kingdom is 5 years. [More…]
We have heard of this preferment or alleged entitlement given by the United Kingdom to Australian citizens, but in fact under the present immigration laws of the United Kingdom Australian citizens do not have any automatic entitlement to United Kingdom citizenship. [More…]
The United Kingdom does not use the term ‘migrant’ as we use it here. [More…]
It refers to a person going to the United Kingdom for the purpose of settlement, and a person going to the United Kingdom for the purpose of settlement must have a job waiting for him in the United Kingdom, his prospective employer must apply to the Department of Employment in London for a permit on the applicant’s behalf, and the time that elapses from the time application is made by the employer to the time of issue of permit is approximately 7 weeks. [More…]
I mentioned earlier a statement on immigration policy by the Secretary of State for the Home Department in the United Kingdom speaking on behalf of the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
We have heard what the Government in the United Kingdom says and what the Opposition in the United Kingdom thinks. [More…]
It seems a reasonable conclusion to draw that there is a unanimity of opinion in the United Kingdom that the door has to be closed to Australians. [More…]
I have been unable to get figures from the sources available here in Australia on the number of Australians whose applications for United Kingdom citizenship in recent years have been rejected. [More…]
I say all these things to show that the image that the Opposition is trying to create - of preferment and compatibility, of the supposed exchange of rights between the United Kingdom and the Australian Governments - is false. [More…]
The present situation in the United Kingdom is that Australia is a long way down the list. [More…]
Since the United Kingdom entered the European Economic Community the people of all the EEC nations have had freedom of entry into the United Kingdom. [More…]
They have the right to select their place of residence anywhere they wish in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Renunciation is not required in Canada, the United Kingdom, Sweden or Italy. [More…]
The amendments will strengthen the projection of Australia’s national identity, and this nation will become identified more and more as Australia, the island in the South Pacific and not the third island of the United Kingdom or the fifty-first State of the United States of America. [More…]
When we look back on recent years, we see that between 1967 and 1968 more than 46 per cent of the 137,000 migrants who came to Australia were from the United Kingdom, in 1968-69 the figure was 44 per cent, in 1969-70 it was 39 per cent, in 1970-71 the figure was 36 per cent and in 1971-72 more than 40 per cent of Australia’s migrants were from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Yet reports from London indicate that in recent months, since the new Government has come to power, there has been a decline in the number of people indicating an interest in migrating to Australia from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I realise that these communities require additional assistance - more so than the British or the normal United Kingdom settler - because they have come from a different background. [More…]
He has stated that great differences exist, yet this Bill sets out to destroy any advantage that a United Kingdom migrant may have had in the past. [More…]
Frankly, as an Australian, I resent a British migrant being able to come to this country and, after residing here for only 6 months, having the right to vote on the affairs of this nation, just as I believe as an Australian that I should not have the right to vote in a United Kingdom election after living for only 6 months in that country. [More…]
The point is - the Minister has lost sight of this - that the previous Government was not practising discrimination against nonUnited Kingdom migrants because it applied a different time factor for qualifying for naturalisation to the non-British migrant. [More…]
The previous Government was recognising that the United Kingdom migrant, who had come from a country with a Westminster system of Parliament and practices a way of life this country has followed, was more easily able to assimilate to the Australian way of fife than were many non-British migrants who, after 3 years in this country, perhaps could not even speak the English language. [More…]

As far as is known there are no vaccines in the United Kingdom identical with that produced by CSL. [More…]
This is also the situation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Sir George Godber, the Chief Medical Officer of the Department of Health and Social Security in the United Kingdom, published a letter in the British ‘Medical Journal’ of 18th November 1972 in which he stated: the number of legal abortions has increased greatly but seems to be reaching a more stable level. [More…]
This is the main criticism that can be levelled at the United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
Yet this Bill provides for abortion well beyond this time and on the same grounds, which, under the United Kingdom Abortion Act, have been used for abortion on demand. [More…]
sense seeking to impugn the motivations of those who brought forward this measure that the inept drafting o the legislation repeats the confusion of the United Kingdom and South Australian abortion laws, and adds to that confusion additional uncertainties. [More…]
However, in the United Kingdom, the evidence of the Royal College of Obstetricians to the Lane Committee, the study by John and Hackman and the Wynn report all show that there is no noticeable drop in the incidence of illegal abortions. [More…]
It explains why the professor of gynaecology at Leeds University remarked in the United Kingdom publication ‘Social Science and Medicine’: [More…]
The abortion laws in the United Kingdom now enable the provision of subjects for medical experiments and anatomical study by artificially producing death. [More…]
I refer to the thoughts of Jeremy Bentham, the school of utilitarianism, Picaria in Italy, Mill and Romilly - that school which led to the great reforms of the 19th century in the United Kingdom. [More…]
For more than 2 years in the United Kingdom the Lane Committee has been taking evidence on this very subject. [More…]
The United Kingdom has had experience of abortion on demand. [More…]
It is the first time, so shortly after the introduction of a Bill, that the United Kingdom Government had need to set up such an inquiry. [More…]
I draw his attention to a statement which was made before the enactment of the United Kingdom Abortion Act. [More…]
Although at present a 12-mile limit seems to be most widely favoured, Aus tralia still asserts a 3-mile claim, as do the United Kingdom, the United States and a number of other major countries, and Australia is therefore not bound to recognise wider claims by other states. [More…]
I mention just a few of them: Ireland, New Zealand, United Kingdom, France, Israel, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands. [More…]
I can well understand individual migrants believing that the Queen is the Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
To my mind one of the deplorable consequences of the actions of the ‘Minister for Immigration is that the future homogeneity of the Australian population could well be prejudiced if the trend towards reducing the inflow of a minimum of 50 per cent of the migrant intake from the United Kingdom be reduced. [More…]
I had made a statement prior to receiving this letter in which I said that there had been in the past a neglect of United Kingdom settlers and the President wrote a letter to me on 2nd May in which he stated: [More…]
I have received several telephone calls from my Sub-branch members drawing my attention to the report All the callers were most enthusiastic over your comments and your outlook towards migrants, in particular those who came from the United Kingdom. [More…]

In Australia and in other countries such as the United Kingdom or the United States of America, there is freedom to organise, freedom to come together and freedom of discussion. [More…]
An illustration perhaps of the complexities of the situation as far as offshore oil and various other matters concerning the sea are concerned is the present position in which the United Kingdom and Iceland find themselves. [More…]
Icelandic flishermen claim a certain area which they say should be reserved and over which they should have fishing rights and the United Kingdom fishermen say that under an international agreement the waters claimed by Iceland as belonging to that country are international waters. [More…]
It is a matter that affects not only the people of Iceland and the United Kingdom but also all agreements on international waters. [More…]
Governments in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America, to quote some key examples, have tried voluntary price control. [More…]
The Government of the United Kingdom has established a pay board to ensure that wage rises are limited to 1 a week plus 4 per cent but not to exceed 4.8, and a price commission to which large firms and nationalised industries must submit proposed price increases. [More…]
But the considerable resort to such measures overseas and notably in the United States and the United Kingdom is a pretty compelling reason for trying. [More…]
Similar bodies were set up recently in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Quite clearly Mr Congdon, having analysed inflation in the United Kingdom in particular, in that article has rejected the whole concept of trade union militancy as the cause of inflation. [More…]
Another essentially voluntary plan was started in the United Kingdom with a National Board for Prices and Incomes. [More…]

No country has been able to decentralise its population to any greater extent than the United Kingdom did between the end of the Second World War and now. [More…]
Despite what the Leader of the Opposition said, even if we can equal the achievement of the United Kingdom between now and the turn of the century, 8 million people will have to be located in our existing cities. [More…]
As a consequence a completely new Bill is currently before the United Kingdom Parliament. [More…]
The deplorable consequences of the Vehicle and General failure - and it had its effects here through its subsidiaries in Australia - were that overnight 10 per cent of motorists in the United Kingdom were left without insurance cover, lt is estimated that arising out of the failure of Vehicle and General the established companies within the insurance industry will probably have to meet a bill of $ 12.7m because of the undertaking given in 1946. [More…]
This Bill, like that currently before the United Kingdom Parliament, is the net result of company crashes. [More…]
It is a fact that, with the exception of the United Kingdom and Iceland most Western European and Scandinavian countries have thought fit in some measure to legislate and as a consequence to regulate premium rates, policy conditions, advertisements, the vetting of investments, and competency of directors and managers. [More…]
It stems from my having read in depth the recent debate in the United Kingdom Parliament, that is in the House of Lords, dealing with the United Kingdom Insurance Bill. [More…]
I note that in the United Kingdom Bill there is provision in clause 38 which asserts power to make regulations as to the form and content of insurance advertising. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Government in the last few weeks has announced a proposal to give seme control to the Scots. [More…]
In Great Britain the United Kingdom Civil Service has arrangements for paid leave, but of course this does not apply to privately employed women, as the honourable member probably knows. [More…]

In both the United Kingdom and the United States of America attempts at voluntary incomes policies have not met with much success. [More…]
There is no doubt that it bears heavily on the Australian publishing industry or certainly those sectors of it that are not overseas owned, particularly in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Secondly, clause 8 requests the United Kingdom Parliament to enact legislation in the terms of the Bill scheduled to the Act. [More…]
The provisions which I have described as self-operating have been included in the Bill on the basis that the Australian Parliament, as well as requesting and consenting to the United Kingdom legislation on this matter, should assert all powers open to it to achieve the same result. [More…]
Similarly, in tradition and sentiment, we have especially close ties with the United Kingdom and the other countries of Western Europe which were the original homelands of most Australians, as in trade we are aligned mainly with the other great trading nation of this part of the world, Japan.

I mention this also in the context of withdrawal from the FivePower Agreement and the withdrawal at short notice of an adviser to draw up the program for the SEATO exercises, which run counter to the arrangements between our friends in South East Asia, and with respect to the Five-Power Agreement, with New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The first change is an amendment to delete from the royal style and titles all reference to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I suppose that at first blush this would seem to be no other occasion than merely one upon which in some curious nostalgic way to trace the development of the title ‘Defender of the Faith’ and to look at the links which this country has with the United Kingdom. [More…]
It does far more than delete reference to the United Kingdom in the royal style and titles. [More…]
In 1961, when the United Kingdom sought to join the European Economic Community it was a move which I must confess - I suppose the national Parliament should not be despised as being a confessional box - was the end of what I regarded and held deeply as all prospect of the Commonwealth emerging as a third world force - something to fit in those days between the messianic mood of Moscow and what I might without offence describe as the egregiousness of Washington. [More…]
If one reads a White Paper prepared by the Lord Chancellor in May 1967 on the legal and constitutional implications of the United Kingdom membership of European communities one is left with an overwhelming impression that British membership of Europe transcends completely any consideration of joining some tariff, some economic or some merchant operation. [More…]
What I have quoted is in my opinion evidence of one simple but very profound prop osition, namely, that the political consequences of British entry into Europe upon the institution of the monarchy are as yet unseen and this even by those who live in the United Kingdom itself. [More…]
Within the context of the United Kingdom these propositions emerge. [More…]
I think of most of the great buildings of the world - in Europe, Asia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has passed legislation to overcome the human problems involved in progress itself. [More…]
When this matter was last before the House I was talking about the juridical position which will be imposed upon the monarchy by the entry of the United Kingdom into Europe. [More…]
In 1953 the then right honourable member for Kooyong was sitting there and he said: ‘It has been suggested that the United Kingdom be left out of the description of the royal style and title’. [More…]
Sir Robert Menzies always held that the Monarch was the Monarch of Australia by virtue of being Monarch of the United Kingdom, and in 1939 he held that this country had no right to declare war or peace. [More…]
We entered the war of 1939 on the ground that the Crown of the United Kingdom was at war, Australia entered the Second World War on precisely the same basis as the Rock of Gibraltar and in precisely the same way as a Crown colony. [More…]
The evolution of the Commonwealth since that time would make such an assertion by the United Kingdom Government most inappropriate. [More…]
When the United Kingdom goes to war or peace the Crown acts on the advice of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is therefore inappropriate to go on asserting that the Crown has authority over Australia by virute of being Crown of th.e United Kingdom. [More…]
But we would not want to wake up the Scottish controversy by trying to suggest that Her Majesty was Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Queen Elizabeth I of Australia. [More…]
I think of Holland, Belgium, Greece until quite recently, the Scandinavian monarchies and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I suppose that the monarchies of Luxembourg, Belgium and Holland now are all subordinate to a new concept in Europe and that the Monarchy of the United Kingdom may become subordinate to some sort of authority in Europe. [More…]
The antecedents of the words have been aptly and correctly referred to by earlier speakers tonight, but the words themselves, inherited as they are, to my mind have pertained more to the practice within the United Kingdom of one particular religion, which of course was associated originally with King Henry VIII and thereafter through each of his successive descendants. [More…]
To my mind, for that reason that particular reference deserves to be deleted for perhaps an even greater reason than the deletion of the reference to the United Kingdom. [More…]
As the Deputy Leader of my party, the honourable member for New England (Mr Sinclair) said, our allegiance to the Crown exists not because of our association with the United Kingdom but because of our individual rights as Australians. [More…]
A matter that was mentioned both by the honourable member for Morten (Mr Killen) and the Minister for Education (Mr Beazley) was the factor of the European Economic Community and the effect that the move by the United Kingdom into that organisation would have on the United Kingdom, the monarchy and United Kingdom sovereignty. [More…]
When this matter was raised delegates from the United Kingdom Parliament said that the importance of the monarchy and its relationship with the United Kingdom Parliament would never be forgotten and that it would be kept constantly before the authorities. [More…]
Territories dependant on the United Kingdom when this Bill was introduced included the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. [More…]
Significantly, the United Kingdom and Canada are among the great majority that do not require an act of renunciation. [More…]
Even an Edmund Burke would find it difficult to sway the Mouse on 99 per cent of the Bills introduced into this Parliament, but honourable members should remember that Edmund Burke was in Parliament long before the party system matured in the United Kingdom and, of course, in Australia. [More…]
The United States could not have done what it did, nor could the United Kingdom, unless more preliminary steps were taken. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party has taken this country from its previous foreign affairs stance and moved it so that in the last 6 months we have offered public insult to the United Kingdom, offered public insult to our regional friends in Malaysia, where so many Australians laid down their lives during the Second World War, and we have done it also in the United States of America to make it clear that we will not be subject to any criticism from other people around the world who are known commonly as those who threaten the peace and who have publicly announced that they will establish some great international socialist state if they possibly can. [More…]
But it does not matter whether one looks at the position which exists in the United Kingdom or that which exists in Russia. [More…]
I have not before me some facts which I recall having read in relation even to the position in the United Kingdom under the Attlee Government. [More…]
Can he also give similar assurance that in no circumstances will they be paid on any form of capitation basis as is done in the United Kingdom health scheme? [More…]
The Social Welfare Commission and the Australian Government have noted with interest the recent changes in personal welfare service systems in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America. [More…]
Australian politics to the degree it has in the United Kingdom or Europe or most democratic countries. [More…]
Originally, in the United Kingdom, judges held their commissions during the King’s pleasure. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is a history of guaranteed prices and deficiency payments. [More…]
It has been suggested that the Government has severed ties with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has shown that it believes its future is in the European Economic Community. [More…]
It is very comforting to look at a great range of figures and say: ‘I think perhaps you are right in contending that capital punishment has not led to any decrease in substantial crime, say, in the United States of America or the United Kingdom and, ergo, that will be our experience here in Australia’. [More…]
I am referring to Sir Ernest Gowers who was Chairman of the United Kingdom Royal Commission on Capital Punishment. [More…]
For example, in the United Kingdom in 1972 there were over 20 legal abortions for every 100 live births, and there have been reports concerning the effect of this on illegal abortions in a number of countries which indicate that the impact on the number of illegal abortions has not been what the authors of the changes had originally hoped and that illegal abortions had continued - and continued at a quite high level. [More…]
Such studies are available for the Scandinavian countries and for the United Kingdom. [More…]
Earlier this year in the United Kingdom a report on unplanned pregnancies was published by what I believe to be an authoratitive group, the working party of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. [More…]
For example, the Defence Act of Australia creates certain offences by way of adapting to the purposes of the Australian Defence Forces the provisions of the Naval Discipline Act of the United Kingdom and the Army Act of the United Kingdom. [More…]
By virtue of section 34 of the Naval Defence Act, the Naval Discipline Act 1957 of the United Kingdom, subject to adaptations, is applied in the Royal Australian Navy. [More…]
Section 8 of the Air Force Act applies to the Royal Australian Air Forcethe Air Force Act 1939 of the United Kingdom, as adapted. [More…]
Possibly what the Minister would invite us to do, in conjunction with the observations by the honourable member for New England (Mr Sinclair), is to be a little more definitive as to what treason is in this day and age, because certainly in the -United Kingdom the Treason Act of 1352 still holds the field and that is a complete piece of nonsense. [More…]
Under the terms of this Agreement, British publishers have agreed among themselves that they will not publish in the United Kingdom any book originating outside the British ‘traditional’ market (for example in the United States) unless they secure the rights to publish that book in the whole of the ‘traditional’ market, which includes Australia. [More…]
The Extradition (Foreign States) Act 1966- 1972, which this Bill proposes to amend, continued in force for the time being the old extradition arrangements with foreign countries that apply to Australia by virtue of treaties entered into by the United Kingdom and of the old Imperial Acts known as the Extradition Acts, 1870 to 1935. [More…]
Let me take the position a little further: The commission may recommend the establishment of a corporation and also that that corporation follow the practice adopted in the United Kingdom, that as an independent body it must return something in the nature of the bond rate on capital invested. [More…]
Post Budget assessments by some United Kingdom analysts have resulted in sweeping pessimism in the United Kingdom of the prospects of Australian mining shares. [More…]
Turning away from the USA, this is equally clear from an examination of the approach adopted by the United Kingdom Government in November 1972. [More…]
This has been our experience in the past and is now the experience of the United Kingdom where a recent gallup poll, referred to in ‘The Economist’ of 8 September 1973, showed that whereas a year ago 75 per cent of the people with a definite opinion said that the unions should hold back on wage claims to control inflation but now 52 per cent think that they should now go ahead, clearly indicating that the public has become tired of income and wage controls. [More…]
Our third biggest market is the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is expected that when the United Kingdom goes into the European Economic Community this market will not be lost but it will be built up. [More…]
The Government is now saying to the southern meat works which have meat that may be sold in Japan, the United Kingdom and elsewhere, that meat produced by them would be suitable for the Australian palate. [More…]
I might add that the practice of having a table of provisions and not a parts section is in line wilh the practice in many other jurisdictions including the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Tasmania. [More…]
On that basis, in the 5 years between 1967 and 1971 Australia performed much better than Canada and the United States but worse than the United Kingdom, Sweden, France and the Federal Republic of Germany. [More…]
Simply put, the shop steward system which is one of the less desirable imports from the United Kingdom, has prostituted the trade union movement, and the Minister would be better put tackling the total problem rather than giving such bludgeoning power to the shop stewards. [More…]
The royal commission chaired by Lord Donovan in the United Kingdom pointed out in relation to statistics: [More…]
In addition, the significant work load of the Establishment and the range is subject to a joint arrangement between the United Kingdom and the Australian Governments. [More…]
The Minister might ponder, for example, the relationship between Nigeria and the United Kingdom and bear in mind not only that London is a long way from Lagos but also the subsequent development within Nigeria which led to the terrifying circumstances of a few years ago and the possible emergence of Biafra until the final defeat of Colonel Oiukwu’s forces by General Gowon. [More…]
Indonesia has recently established a consulate in Port Moresby; the United Kingdom has done likewise. [More…]
There are people who have examined this matter and made comparisons between our committee system and the United Kingdom and United States experience. [More…]
It is much better, therefore, to look to what has happened in the United Kingdom because that country has the same kind of parliamentary system as we have. [More…]
I suppose that is one reason why we are unlikely to have a committee system similar to the United Kingdom system. [More…]
But in the United Kingdom, not only is there a public accounts committee but also there is an expenditure committee. [More…]
We need an expenditure committee to operate under the same kind of terms of reference as does the United Kingdom expenditure committee. [More…]
It is notable that 30 years ago the United Kingdom started off in the same way as our Senate Estimates committees have started off. [More…]
The United Kingdom soon moved to a system where it had specialist committees sitting all the year round, not looking at estimates in relation to the presentation of the budget but looking into the totality of the way in which departments go about this function which is very important in terms of financial responsibility. [More…]
These procedures have been tried and proved over many years in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is a permanent membership, together with a floating membership, so that members who are interested in a particular matter can speak to that matter and take a part in the debates that might be involved with it. [More…]
Again, this follows United Kingdom practice. [More…]
I ask the permission of the Committee to have incorporated in Hansard a report that I made for a former Prime Minister - about 3 Prime Ministers ago - in .1965 concerning a comparison between the United Kingdom committee system and the Australian committee system. [More…]
We find that in the United Kingdom, where there are 2 Houses of Parliament but no States, there is a situation in which there are local government organisations. [More…]
Once again, would anybody in this Parliament claim that the United Kingdom is not a democracy? [More…]
As the honourable member for Wide Bay has said, the United Kingdom has been a democracy since they got rid of the rotten boroughs - in other words, the gerrymander. [More…]
In such pilot programs and the proposed action research the hope can be expressed that heed is paid to the experience, pitfalls and insights gained from similar research conducted in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, of which I am sure the Social Welfare Commission is aware. [More…]
There may be some advantage for Aborigines in legislation of this type where there is provision for the investigation of complaints and for conciliation procedures such as exist in the United Kingdom and New Zealand legislation. [More…]
Can he say why (a) the United States of America and (b) the United Kingdom withdrew from the Committee in 1971. [More…]
The following countries have withdrawn from the Special Committee: Equador, Madagascar, Poland, United Kingdom and United States. [More…]
More than 40 governments have recognised the new Chilean regime, including all Latin American governments - except Cuba - Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, West Germany and Japan - [More…]
Had the Constitution been drafted at a later time when certain events had taken place in the United Kingdom relating to matters of supply, the passage of Supply Bills in the Senate would no longer be necessary as they now are no longer necessary in the Upper House of the United Kingdom Parliament. [More…]
In the United Kingdom recently a teacher shortage has occurred in secondary schools because of an earnest desire by the Government since the Second World War to make secondary education available for every student. [More…]
We will be following the standards and experience, so being able to avoid the pitfalls, of the achievements in education in the United Kingdom flowing from the findings and the implementation of the Plowden Report which could be summarised by saying that we have to be more than equal to the unequal to have equality. [More…]
It was purchased from Sir Alec Downer, the former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. [More…]
For instance, in my own electorate there are Housing Trust homes which were in fact built in the United Kingdom, but under present local government authority conditions those houses could not be built. [More…]
The United Kingdom and the United States of America have pulled out of South East Asia and we now have to support what we put in the field. [More…]
Some time ago in the United Kingdom the mood of the socialist government of the day - Mr Attlee’s Government - was to plan for the mechanised production of groundnuts in East and Central Africa. [More…]
If we look at the examples of what has occurred in the kind of administration that was set up for a great public corporation in the United Kingdom - this was certainly well described earlier in the debate - a clear warning is spelt out to the Australian nation not to allow this sort of thing to happen. [More…]
The Woodside-Burmah consortium has the following interests: The Burmah Oil Company of the United Kingdom controls 50 per cent, the Shell Development Australia Pty Ltd controls 16) per cent and smaller percentages go to British Petroleum Development Australia Pty Ltd and California Asiatic Oil Co. [More…]
It is now a well recognised policy in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada that the large and often impersonal mental hospitals and other similar institutions need to be substantially phased out and replaced by the types of services to be funded by this Bill with additional beds integrated into general hospitals. [More…]
The original Wolfenden Committee in the United Kingdom - the United Kingdom Parliament passed a resolution such as I want this House to pass - was advised from the Roman Catholic Church, by a body set up under Cardinal Griffin, in full agreement with the Wolfenden Committee’s report, that what I suggest this House should do should be done. [More…]
Since then psychiatrists and different sections of people in our society have made a study of the prevalence of homosexuality in the United Kingdom and Australia. [More…]
I do not want to spend a great deal of time on what that gentleman said in a debate this morning about attitudes that I hold on foreign affairs, but in a deliberate endeavour to misquote he used quotations for convenience and in other erroneous manners, and in his concluding remarks alleged that I was in favour of most of the areas in which he has been operating as Minister for Foreign Affairs, leaving aside my criticism of the fracturing of relations with the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Thailand and numerous other areas of the world. [More…]
Britain is in fact the only Western power which pledged to remove its officials from Taiwan; yet Taiwan had no consulates in the United Kingdom and therefore was not placed in the difficult position in which we placed her earlier this year. [More…]
At the expense of incurring the wrath of my friends in the United Kingdom, I am bound to say that New Zealanders have been far too ready to listen to the propaganda of the Brits. [More…]
Apparently it is their judgment that the people of Australia cannot feel independent unless they are cast in the role of saying to the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries that those countries are engaged in policies which are abhorrent and wrong. [More…]
I am now referring to those countries with which Australia has been associated traditionally in terms of our defence requirements, particularly the United Kingdom, the United States of America and some other countries. [More…]
At the present moment nuclear arms are held by the United States, by Soviet Russia, in a small way by the United Kingdom and France, certainly by China and probably by other countries as well but those other countries have not yet revealed in full what they possess. [More…]
America, the United Kingdom and France, who were the major powers present, but is also of even greater importance to us in Australia and to New Zealand because of our closeness to other countries in the South Pacific area and because of our association with the peoples of this area. [More…]
The donor countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
It is an odd and somewhat unnerving experience for an Australian to travel overseas at the moment, as I have just done to a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference in London, travelling through 4 South-East Asian countries, the United States of America, France as well as the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Queen has gone back to the United Kingdom so I can now say that the truth is that this Labor Party Government, if the opportunity presents itself, will cut Australia’s ties with England so quickly that the Queen will not even know that it has happened. [More…]
He gave Mr Heath some helpful hints on how he ought to be running the United Kingdom. [More…]
They do not want to be recognised as another State of the United States of America, as another island of the United Kingdom or as the second island of Taiwan. [More…]
Honourable members opposite, not having heard from or had communication with the United Kingdom for a long time, could not believe that it was Her Majesty’s desire. [More…]
I am fortified in my view about the ultimate aims of this Government by a report on an education debate by the Labour Party in the United Kingdom because quite a number of old slogans and catchcries that have appeared in the report on that debate in the London Times’ recently have been repeated in this House by the honourable member for Casey (Mr Mathews) and others of his ilk. [More…]
In the United Kingdom. [More…]
Can the Minister for Minerals and Energy confirm a report, which has just been cabled to Australia, that another United Kingdom stock jobbing firm, Berger and Gosschalk, has announced that it will withdraw from the Australian mining and industrial market as from the close of trading tomorrow? [More…]
Fifthly, it was paid to stabilise the industry and to increase the production required to try to help the United Kingdom, which wanted 60,000 tons of butter from Australia and also to supply with cheap butter the Australian consumer and the American armed forces that we were feeding. [More…]
Although in recent years the industry has expanded, it is now in a very vulnerable position, quite different from what it was when practically all the industry’s sugar was produced for the home market and the United Kingdom market. [More…]
Since this decision was announced it has become clear that a new factory to produce pure fruit juice for export to the United Kingdom is to expand its operations. [More…]
Earlier in the year it decided to take 250,000 bushels to fill a quite strong demand from the United Kingdom for pure apple juice. [More…]
But on the question of addiction may I commend to the Minister, and invite him to respond to me in his reply, this aspect: As he knows, late last year as Minister for Customs and Excise I visited the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe to study the methods being employed in those countries to contain the spread of drug abuse. [More…]
I commend to my Government the system now in use in the United Kingdom, where drug addiction is regarded as an illness rather than as a crime. [More…]
It seems to me that the United Kingdom system is a system that at least should be explored. [More…]
I recommended, and it was accepted by my Government, that a top level team consisting of Government advisers should visit the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe, particularly Holland and Denmark, with a view to studying this technique of treating drug addiction. [More…]
One of the sad facts I learnt was the rate of recidivism of drug addicts even in the clinics in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I would commend the Minister to look at the United Kingdom system and tell us when he responds whether the Government intends investigating the British system with a view to considering its application to Australia. [More…]
It is a practice in the United Kingdom to provide centres of an informal nature which people can attend in the evenings. [More…]
The honourable member for Hotham also asked me for the Government’s attitude to his proposal to adopt the United Kingdom method of dealing with addicts rather than the law enforcement approach which is prominent in the United States of [More…]
It is true that in the United Kingdom availability of drugs to addicts through legally prescribed avenues has helped to get away from the punitive approach which probably is counter-productive. [More…]
The only major aspect of the United Kingdom approach that seems to be favoured by most drug authorities is the methadone blockade approach mentioned by the honourable member for Kingston (Dr Gun). [More…]
Yes, but the point is that the authorities in the United Kingdom had to send people out to the New England and Macquarie universities to see how to run this kind of course for their open university. [More…]
Plenty of work has been done in countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the European Common Market countries. [More…]
I mention in particular the experience in the United Kingdom with respect to such agreements. [More…]
Lastly, concerning pharmaceutical products, once again I will not read all of my statement but will say simply that the Committee recommends that the Australian Government should negotiate with the United Kingdom companies that export intal, lyndiol and ovostat with a view to recouping some of the benefits lost to this country at the time of upvaluation. [More…]
It was said a number of years ago by a leading United Kingdom diplomat when he was describing the attitude of mind of supporters of an East European brand of socialism that: . [More…]
A Dr Lawson some years ago wrote that the tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy rate in Australia for doctors paid on a fee for service basis was seven per one thousand, whereas in the United Kingdom and the United States where doctors are paid salaries the rate was 3.6 per thousand. [More…]
In like fashion women in this country have twice the chance of losing their uterus as have women in the United States in services where the doctors are on salary or in the United Kingdom. [More…]
That is a good question to ask, and it is far better asked of your socialist societies in countries such as the United Kingdom, where a person has to wait up to 3 years for any sort of surgery. [More…]
In one breath he mentions people with minor illnesses and ailments going to public hospitals rather than to a general practitioner and then says: ‘If this is free, human nature being what it is, as is experienced in the United Kingdom and Canada and, indeed, was experienced in Queensland not too long ago, a great many people will flock for treatment’. [More…]
As to the question whether the Post Office can be removed, this has been tried in the United Kingdom and the United States of America without many noticeable effects. [More…]
In fact, in the United Kingdom the Conservative Government found it necessary to sack the head of the so-called independent postal authority because he proposed to levy postal rates at a level that even that Government considered to be unacceptable. [More…]
Coming to some of the other matters that were mentioned, I noted that the honourable member for Griffith (Mr Donald Cameron) spoke of the problem of air mails, but I ask him to bear in mind that this country, which is in the southern hemisphere, has to run air mails right across the world before it gets into the other areas of business, whether it be in the United Kingdom, Canada or the United States of America. [More…]
If the Government has that power to enable it to feed local government and to starve State governments we shall move to a constitution similar to the Constitution of the United Kingdom which provides for Westminster and county councils. [More…]
This would mean a complete and radical change in our Constitution in the course of time from a Federal Constitution to a unitary constitution with local government bodies, as is the case in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In all cases not provided for hereinafter, or by sessional or other orders or practice of the House, resort shall be had to the practice of the Commons House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in force for the time being, which shall be followed as far as can be applied. [More…]
The schemes which the Committee suggested were similar to those that are operating in Leiden in Holland and in Nottingham in the United Kingdom. [More…]
One of the things that happened with the change of administration and my own assumption of office was that I cancelled the advertising program which had been running, I thought on wrong lines, in the United Kingdom and on which in 1971-72 we spent $522,000. [More…]
We had to look responsibly on what ought to be done, and in 1972- 73 our expenditure on advertising in the United Kingdom was of the order of $182,000. [More…]
If we starve the States as a deliberate process and policy and feed local government as a deliberate policy we reach a stage where one part of the Federal Constitution, the States, are destroyed and another part, local government, is built up in their place so that we replace our federal form of government with the kind of government which exists in the United Kingdom where they have one central government at Westminster and county councils, borough councils and so forth administering details in the regions. [More…]
It is not new nationalism but old-style aggressive nationalism, a petulant self-assertiveness that has already harmed relations with the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, the South Pacific countries and Japan. [More…]
Yet in the presentation of the substance of this policy we have had a weakening of our ties with those who had been our traditional allies - in particular, the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
But, as I have said, as a result of the amendments forced upon the Government by the Opposition in the Senate, as from 1 December settlers from the United Kingdom and any of the other British Commonwealth of Nations countries will be required to renounce their allegiance in the oath sworn at such citizenship ceremonies. [More…]
In effect it means that they will be required in that oath to renounce allegiance to the United Kingdom, if they come from that country, and to swear allegiance to this country and Queen Elizabeth of Australia. [More…]
I am very sure that there are going to be considerable misgivings by settlers who come here from the British Commonwealth of Nations at having to renounce allegiance to their country of origin, particularly if it is the United Kingdom. [More…]
Certainly these amending Acts had to secure passage through States Parliaments, but if there had been powers of direction in the Act similar to those now inserted, the farmers would have been left with the alternative of accepting an admittedly unfair price for stockfeed, or meeting the bill of costs for sea freight to Tasmania on the whole of the wheat used there, presently about 3/6d per bushel, or almost as much as freight to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In form it is merely a Repeal Bill: it will repeal the High Commissioner (United Kingdom) Act 1909- 1966. [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…]
It retained its original title through 4 amendments between 1909 and 1952, but by 1957 the post World War II expansion of Australian diplomatic representation was reflected in a change of name to the High Commissioner (United Kingdom) Act. [More…]
The clause preserves existing rights under the Officers’ Rights Declaration Act 1928-1969 of persons who have such rights by virtue of having been officers of the Public Service immediately before they became officers under the High Commissioner (United Kingdom) Act. [More…]
Certainly there are areas where, as a result of changes in the balance of diplomatic and international status, Australia perhaps has moved more rapidly than it has in its relationships with the United Kingdom. [More…]
But the United Kingdom has served and still serves traditionally as the base from which so many of our actions in the international arena began. [More…]
This Bill more than any other sets the seal on the transfer from our old complete dependence on the United Kingdom to a stance of independent action, independent initiative and greater Australian identity. [More…]
Those who have occupied the position of High Commissioner in the United Kingdom have served this country well. [More…]
The second matter is one of concern, that is, the degree to which an office such as that in the United Kingdom seems to have applied the laws of Parkinson and developed to such a large degree an administrative base which we are told today will be extended so that all the officers currently engaged will continue in employment. [More…]
Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willesee) in Canberra on 20 February last, there were some references to the number of personnel employed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
One is aware that in the last few years there has been some run down in the number of personnel who have been selected as migrants from the United Kingdom to come to Australia. [More…]
One is aware also of the industrial trouble caused by so many of those who have become shop stewards and agitators on the industrial front in Australia, and who unfortunately have had a base in the trade union movement in the United Kingdom and seem to have brought to Australia prejudices which are not part of the Australian tradition. [More…]
I also query the degree to which it is necessary for that full complement of personnel to be maintained in the United Kingdom, given the different orientation of the United Kingdom within an enlarged Europe and given the different relationship which Australia has to the United Kingdom in this day and age. [More…]
One wonders whether, given the different relationship, the different posture and the different commitment between Australia and the United Kingdom, perhaps we could have employed a firm of management consultants and could have halved the number of personnel who are today employed by the Australian High Commission. [More…]
I believe that, not only in the United Kingdom but in every Australian civil service post, whether in Australia or outside, there is a need for a constant reassessment of the role and function of the people involved. [More…]
One recognises the tremendous contribution that those who have served there in the past have made to this country’s relations with the United Kingdom and to Australia’s relations with the rest of the world, but I doubt whether at this stage there is any need to maintain such a large staff. [More…]
One hopes that from this legislation will come a fairly comprehensive review not only of the staffing itself but also of the role of the staff, to ensure that the terms and conditions of employment more nearly relate to the circumstances of Australia and the United Kingdom in 1973 and the years to come. [More…]
Probably in the United Kingdom more than anywhere else, the States feel that they need to preserve the separate identity that the Agents-General represent. [More…]
One hopes that, in the United Kingdom or anywhere else in, the world, these State Agents-General will recognise the degree to which, by co-ordination and co-operation with those officers who represent the Australian Government in the diplomatic or commercial areas, so much more can be achieved. [More…]
I concur completely in the general emphasis that the Prime Minister has put on this aspect of change which was foreseen so early in the introduction of Australian representation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I join with my colleague, the honourable member for New England (Mr Sinclair), in supporting the High Commissioner (United Kingdom) Act Repeal Bill but there are one or two remarks I would like to make. [More…]
But I would regard it as a bad thing if this Bill were to mark any further diminution of the special relationship between Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
It will be well for the existence and continued identity of Australia if the special relationship with the United Kingdom were continued and, indeed, intensified. [More…]
United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Canada there may still be - I hope there still is - a special and inner link. [More…]
Canada does not need for its defence a special relationship with the United Kingdom, because geographically it shelters under the umbrella of the United States. [More…]
I hope and trust that the passing of this Bill will be consonant with the maintenance to the full degree of that special relationship with the United Kingdom and with the Crown which we hold in common with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The advisory committees are also examining measures to increase the visibility of the vehicle with the aim of preventing collisions and the committees are studying recent United Kingdom experience with the use of high visibility reflective placards. [More…]
This category, of course, was recognised first in the report of the Plowden committee of inquiry in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The results which have been obtained, particularly in primary schools in the United Kingdom since the Plowden committee first recommended that disadvantaged schools in the socio-economic sense should be recipients of special assistance, have been very great indeed. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, for example, education is a responsibility of local government. [More…]
It is significant, I think, that some of the advanced techniques in education in the United Kingdom were tried and tested in the smaller educational authorities. [More…]
It provides livestock auction prices and the prices of sheep meat at Newmarket, Victoria, of United States meat, of United Kingdom meat and so on. [More…]
These problems derive principally from the large volume of exports which the industry has traditionally sent to markets in the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
The general uncertainty created by these developments is aggravated by difficulties in the field of shipping chiefly the high and increasing level of freight rates to the ‘United Kingdom and Europe and the difficulty of finding adequate shipping for the purpose. [More…]
United Kingdom and Europe to take the bulk of its apple exports, and because of its dependence on conventional shipping. [More…]
In the 2 major markets for Australian honey - the United Kingdom and Japan - the product is exported in bulk and the packaging is done in the importing country. [More…]
The United Kingdom has been buying more heavily than it normally does to beat the 10.8 per cent duty which will be effective on all honey imported into the United Kingdom after 1 January 1974, which is not very far away. [More…]
So it can be readily seen that a problem exists here in relation to the sale of honey to the United Kingdom market. [More…]
This should mean that the United Kingdom market will drop out of the buying until the extraordinary stock has been absorbed. [More…]
It is the opinion of top honey exporters that the United Kingdom market will buy very little honey between now and the end of February. [More…]
Some 14 days ago a financial credit squeeze was imposed in the United Kingdom and this also will be a deterrent to future honey purchases. [More…]
The interest rate paid on money borrowed in the United Kingdom at present is as high as 17 per cent. [More…]
The Board has adopted an aggressive marketing approach firstly by appointing joint agents in the United Kingdom and West Germany and, secondly, by setting strict minimum grade standards based on colour varying from extra white to dark amber. [More…]
Canadian based companies may function successfully in the United Kingdom and in Ireland. [More…]
Indeed, I asked the permanent head of that Department, Mr George Warwick Smith, to undertake an overseas study of new town development in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Scandinavia. [More…]
Let us take the United States of America and the United Kingdom - 2 economies at least that are somewhat comparable with our own. [More…]
I think that that is a rather glib description of the economic systems of Australia, the United States or the United Kingdom. [More…]
One think that countries like Australia, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe have to recognise is that there are no more banana republics left in the world, and the producers of raw materials and foodstuffs are just as entitled to a fair price for their production as is the producer of manufactured goods. [More…]
Direct reference is made to the experience in the United Kingdom to demonstrate that this is so. [More…]
The United Kingdom, which supports the moratorium, has banned trade in all whale products except those from sperm whales. [More…]
This work is being done in cooperation with the United States of America, the United Kingdom and South Africa. [More…]
The United States of America and the United Kingdom which voted for the moratorium would not have financed the cruise if the tags were not to be recovered. [More…]
All members of this House would know that the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community was one of those factors. [More…]
The United Kingdom, with Western Europe, has been the traditional market for the apple and pear industry but British entry into the European Economic Community has altered this quite dramatically. [More…]
There are other problems with, for instance, the Common Market and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Like you, I am intensely Australian and feel it is progressively necessary to identify ourselves as a nation as distinct from the United Kingdom. [More…]
But of course it comes back to the concept that Australia has a constitutional monarchy as in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am informed that under the United Kingdom scheme people with such ‘non-urgent’ problems have to wait up to 3 years and beyond for the treatment of varicose veins, hernias, ‘non-urgent’ gynaeco.ogical procedures and like complaints. [More…]
He found also in the statistics from the United Kingdom, where doctors are on salary, the operation rate was 3.6 per thousand. [More…]
In regard to appendicectomy, the rate was five per thousand in Australia, 1.4 per thousand in America with salaried doctors and in the United Kingdom 2.5 per thousand with salaried doctors. [More…]
In the United States of America it is 1.9 per thousand and in the United Kingdom it is two per thousand - not much of a difference, but an increase. [More…]
For example, the estimated coverage in the United Kingdom is between 94 per cent and 96 per cent. [More…]
In their arguments, in their misguided zeal to prove this, they have drawn on examples from overseas - from the United Kingdom, Canada and various other places - but they have neglected to look in their own backyard. [More…]
Why do they have to go to Canada or the United Kingdom? [More…]
During a recent trip to the United Kingdom I described in detail to many people involved in health care there the scheme that is practised in Australian health care now, and the response I received was: ‘You would not dream of moving from that kind of health care to the system we are trying to practise in this country, would you?’ [More…]
In the United Kingdom less is expended on health care than is expended in Australia in total. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the total private and government final consumption expenditure on health represents 4 per cent of the gross domestic product. [More…]
People are numbers on lists in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, one is on the doctor’s list. [More…]
That is how the United Kingdom has been able to keep expenditure on health below 5 per cent of the gross national product. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, where a nationalised medical scheme is operating, approximately 500,000 people are at any time on the waiting list for beds. [More…]
Yet the Minister sets out like a sheep dog in an open paddock to round up all concerned and bring them into his scheme whether or not they wish to be in it and this in itself will eventually produce a syndrome similar to the one which presently exists in the United Kingdom where people become very conscious of the hours which they work. [More…]
Is it a fact that vehicles and machinery as used in municipal type works, including fire engines, road sweepers and ambulances, attract a higher freight rate of up to 100 per cent on conference line ships from Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Government of the United Kingdom, as we have heard, has a 50 per cent share in the British Petroleum Co. Other countries which have an involvement of this type are France, Italy - I ask honourable members to think of the ENI company of Italy through which the Italian Government has an involvement in this field; and Italy is not known to be a socialist country such as are those behind the Iron Curtain - Norway, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, India, Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines and even our closest neighbour, New Zealand. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the British Petroleum Co. Ltd is a private company, that is true, but it is a government company. [More…]
I, John Citizen, do swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Queen, and will loyally as in duty bound uphold the Constitution of the Com monwealth of Australia established under the Crown of the United Kingdom. [More…]
As you know, because of my constitutional duties which relate to the United Kingdom, I must, after opening our Parliament here today, return immediately to London. [More…]
There have been consultations with the United Kingdom and my Government will proceed with its legislation to abolish appeals to the Privy Council. [More…]
My Australian and United Kingdom Ministers were agreed that the High Court of Australia is the appropriate tribunal to determine the issues raised in the petitions and, accordingly, that the petitions should not be referred to the Judicial Committee. [More…]
For the information of the PostmasterGeneral, post offices are open on Saturdays in Russia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
They have mail deliveries on Saturday in Russia and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I have taken countries - the United Kingdom still has 2 deliveries a day in London and the suburbs - which should be acceptable to the Government as examples and which are of a comparable size. [More…]
While our foreign policy interests have been diversified and our horizons are now wider than the United States, the United Kingdom and South East Asia - we no longer ignore, for example, the existence of Communist Asia, including China with its 800 million people - the fact remains that it is in our own immediate neighbourhood that we are most likely to find an effective role for Australia. [More…]
It was only in 1968-69 that the Tregillis mission was able to extend the testing of trade criteria to the 17 countries to which I have referred because previously it was almost exclusively a matter of recognising United Kingdom qualifications in professional and trade spheres. [More…]
Before concluding my remarks I should like to pay tribute to the United Kingdom Branch and to its hard working Secretary, Mr Peter Molloy, for offering us such generous hospitality, making Conference arrangements and affording us every opportunity to meet and confer with fellow parliamentarians from all over the world. [More…]
The Prime Minister also went on to say that the Whitlam Government would honour the terms of the Five Power Arrangements with Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
But I must say I find it amusing to hear conservatives on this side of the world claim that inflation is all the fault of the Labor Government while their cousins in the United Kingdom blame an even higher rate of inflation on world-wide economic conditions that transports inflation from one country to another. [More…]
I would like to quote figures from other countries such as Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece where inflation is higher - much higher - than it is here in Australia. [More…]
What the Government did not tell the public was that at the time it reduced tariffs on a wide range of items from most countries it pushed up the tariff rates on goods imported from the United Kingdom. [More…]
This fact has been brought to my notice by a Melbourne firm which imports from the United Kingdom refrigerators of a size which is not made in any quantity in Australia. [More…]
So anyone purchasing a refrigerator manufactured in the United Kingdom will pay more, not less, for it. [More…]
It is running at something like 15 per cent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Does he not know the circumstances that apply in comparable countries, such as in the United Kingdom, and in other parts where the interest rates are much higher than prevail in Australia at present? [More…]
The allegations that Australian laws and policies are different for different people are untrue, and while my words may be questioned the figures which show the greatest number of deportations from Australia over the years have been from Europe and the United Kingdom, and those figures cannot be denied. [More…]
From what I have seen and heard I suspect that the Government sees Australia’s relations with the South Pacific countries in yet another box before going to South East Asia, the Prime Minister - this Prime Minister who is asserting his Australian identity and his internationalism - saw it necessary to visit both Washington and the United Kingdom. [More…]
We were very low down on the list of comparable countries - lower than the United States of America, lower than Britain and lower than nearly all the European countries from Spain to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Australian Country Party (Mr Sinclair) claimed recently that the United Kingdom, under the Conservative Government, and the United States both had a much better record on inflation than did Australia. [More…]
In fact the United Kingdom’s inflation last year was 12 per cent, which was only slightly better than ours, and to achieve that the United Kingdom Government resorted to statutory price and wage controls. [More…]
For instance, in the United Kingdom last year, Mr Heath’s Conservative Government presided over an incredible increase in interest rates. [More…]
We saw what happened in the United Kingdom under Mr Harold Wilson. [More…]
What is the present position of migrants from the traditional sources - the United Kingdom and Europe? [More…]
Is the Government still actively recruiting in the United Kingdom and Europe? [More…]
Are unskilled workers coming from the United Kingdom and Europe? [More…]
What is the position in relation to free flow settlers from the United Kingdom? [More…]
Are all United Kingdom citizens free to come to Australia for residence without prior authority? [More…]
It took us until 1968-69 to go beyond the United Kingdom in the establishment of trade criteria. [More…]
The participating governments which attended the SPC Review meeting in Wellington were Australia, Fiji, France, Nauru, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Western Samoa. [More…]
I think he was appointed by the United Kingdom Government as the Governor of Bengal. [More…]
I am sure that the former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, now sitting in the gallery, would not have liked to hear those words describe him on his appointment. [More…]
main disciplinary provisions relating to the Australian Services are contained in United Kingdom legislation as applied and modified by Australian legislation. [More…]
A United Nations report published in 1972 showed that 6 main military spenders account for more than four-fifths of the world’s armament expenditure, namely, the United States of America, the United Socialist Soviet Republic, France, China, the United Kingdom and Germany. [More…]
They are: Australia, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, West Germany, Iceland, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The United Kingdom or the Netherlands are good examples. [More…]
United Kingdom it has one office in London. [More…]
If one examines recent history and what is happening abroad and one looks, for instance, at Conservative or Labour governments in the United Kingdom or Democratic or Republican administrations in the USA one sees that the ruling rate of interest has been rising. [More…]
Since the preparation of our legislation the United Kingdom Government has announced proposals for the establishment of a Government authority and Mr Trudeau, the Canadian Prime Minister, is planning to introduce legislation shortly to create a national petroleum corporation whose objectives are remarkably similar to those in relation to petroleum proposed for the Petroleum and Minerals Authority. [More…]
The Government has also accepted a proposal for the acquisition of 45 modern fire support vehicles by mating the United Kingdom manufactured Scorpion turret to the armoured personnel carriers already in Army inventory: the Army has adequate armoured personnel carriers for this purpose. [More…]
Those of us who were members of the last Parliament are well aware that the Health Insurance Commission Bill and the Health Insurance Bill which are to be reintroduced contain many features common to the health scheme in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Anybody who has read our newspapers in the last day or two will appreciate the extraordinary mess that the health scheme is in in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is essential that this Parliament at this time be given adequate opportunity to relate what is proposed in the health care system which this Government is trying to force on to the Australian people to the problems which are only just starting to reach such an acute form in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has it, and so too do the governments of France, Italy, Norway, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, India, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand and the Philippines, to name only some of the governments which have thought it desirable to have government participation in this industry. [More…]
I am informed and I ask the Minister or the honourable member who will follow me to deny this fact: Is it not true that in the United Kingdom scheme people with such non-urgent problems have to wait up to 3 or 4 years and beyond for the treatment of varicose veins, hernias, non-urgent gynaecological procedures and like complaints? [More…]
That is how the United Kingdom has been able to keep expenditure on health below 5 per cent of the gross national product. [More…]
If people like to say that the scheme that the Government is proposing will cost less, one has only to look at the United Kingdom where a recent Press headline stated that $800m will have to be put into the United Kingdom national health scheme immediately to avoid its collapse. [More…]
At present there is a crisis situation in the United Kingdom where people are being forced into completely private hospitals from the mixed public and private hospitals that have been known in the United Kingdom and have been known here. [More…]
It is polarising the community in the United Kingdom and it will polarise the community here. [More…]
One can look at the increased amount of private hospital construction in New Zealand and the United Kingdom to see what is happening. [More…]
One would think that the Government would have at least seen the experience in the United Kingdom and would have understood and accepted the problems of the United Kingdom socialist scheme. [More…]
The delay is up to 4 years in New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and other places. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, in offshore United States of America and in Alaska the designated authority grants non-exclusive exploration licences which permit companies to undertake, geophysical analyses. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government has gone through much the same soul-searching in the North Sea area where it is tending toward insistence upon a 51% share in new leases on the Norwegian pattern. [More…]
For instance, the United Kingdom found it necessary to legislate against such practices with, I believe, very satisfactory results. [More…]
In the United Kingdom stocks are 25 per cent lower, in France 23 per cent lower, in Italy 28 per cent lower, in West Germany 68 per cent lower, in Belgium 67 per cent lower and in the United States of America 2.5 per cent lower than they were at this time last year. [More…]
The United Kingdom has, since September 1971, moved in the same direction by applying minimum reserve assets ratio requirements and’ special deposit requirements, similar to statutory reserve deposit requirements in Australia, with the Bank of England to all major ‘deposit-taking institutions’, a term which embraces commercial banks, merchant banks, discount houses and the larger finance houses. [More…]
It is true, however, that monetary theorists and major public inquiries, such as the United Kingdom Committee on the Working of the Monetary System and the United States Commission on Financial Structure and Regulation, have all adverted to the capacity of financial institutions to create disintermediation. [More…]
In the United Kingdom Professor Clayton’s work, while recognising the capacity of British financial intermediaries to be de-stabilising, has taken a more balanced view. [More…]
As the Treasurer is aware, Governments in such countries as the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada have had the benefit of conclusions drawn by various committees of inquiry prior to introducing this type of financial legislation. [More…]
This procedure has not previously operated in the Australian Parliament but it does operate in respect of certain legislation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the legislation in respect of banks and non banks generally provides for what are termed subordinate ‘orders’ and ‘regulations’ to be made subject to annulment. [More…]
Voluntary arrangements - I want to emphasise this point, particularly as I can see sitting in the gallery a few people I have known in the past - between the Bank of England and the commercial banks and the non-banking intermediaries have worked and continue to work well in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There is power under the United Kingdom Banking Act for the Bank of England with the consent of the Chancellor to exercise the appropriate banking controls. [More…]
As Erskine May in the 18th edition of Parliamentary Practice’, chapter 22, says in relation to such types of legislation in the United Kingdom in the last half century: [More…]
He attended St Paul’s College, Sydney University, and won a Nuffield travelling agricultural scholarship to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Donovan inquiry in the United Kingdom looked at all aspects of this matter. [More…]
Great improvements have occurred in the public transport system in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There are a lot of people from the conservative elements of the world - from the United Kingdom and from Australia - who sneered at the fact that a previous Labor government in the United [More…]
Dramatic improvements have been achieved throughout the United Kingdom. [More…]
The honourable member for Hotham referred continually, as have other members of the Opposition, to a comparison between the United Kingdom national health scheme and the scheme which we propose. [More…]
Anyone who is honest has to admit that our system is based on a fee for service system, not on a wholly salaried staff scheme such as exists in the United Kingdom. [More…]
A conservative government was in office in the United Kingdom for 13 years after the British health system was introduced and it saw fit to continue with it and expand upon it. [More…]
Even though the Opposition makes an improper comparison between the British system and our program, the Opposition’s friends in the United Kingdom saw fit to continue with the British health care system. [More…]
If the Government had talked to anyone it would have noticed that certain features of its scheme are in high disrepute at the moment in other countries, in particular of course in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Let us take a lock at the situation in the United Kingdom, the system which this Labor Government with this levy as part of its health scheme would have Australia move towards if it had its way. [More…]
If one looks at the United Kingdom what does one find? [More…]
The situation in the United Kingdom is that patients are on lists. [More…]
In the United Kingdom a poor person is left to the public provision of health care services. [More…]
The point is that if a patient in the United Kingdom needs an operation which is serious but is not highly urgent, then the waiting list extends for 1, 2, 3, 4 and up to 5 years. [More…]
But this does happen to the patient in the United Kingdom who is on the public purse and in receipt of what is called free health care. [More…]
Last year when I studied these matters in the United Kingdom I had case after case brought to my attention of people who were on the free list under the nationalised scheme and who had been told by a doctor that they would have to wait 2i years for treatment. [More…]
I refer to some figures that he gave in which he compared the incidence of tonsillectomy and appendicectomy operations in Australia with those operations in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
In the United Kingdom where the nationalised scheme with which Opposition members love to compare our scheme operates, there were 3.6 tonsillectomy operations per 1,000 persons. [More…]
These services are entirely free in the United Kingdom. [More…]
From time to time in the course of this debate honourable members on both sides of the House have mentioned the position in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Government supporters are very keen to quote the example of the national health scheme in the United Kingdom when they refer to how their Government scheme will keep down health costs in Australia. [More…]
On the other hand, whenever Opposition members take up the argument made by using the United Kingdom as an example to point out some of the disadvantages of that scheme and what will happen here, Government supporters say: ‘Well, our scheme is not similar at all to the United Kingdom scheme’. [More…]
But Government supporters use the example of the United Kingdom scheme to support their argument about keeping costs down in Australia by introducing a similar scheme. [More…]
If one looks a little further at the situation in the United Kingdom at the moment, one can see why overall costs are being kept down in that country. [More…]
Plenty of evidence to this effect is coming by way of reports from the United Kingdom at present. [More…]
The honourable member for Shortland (Mr Morris), referring to the situation in the United Kingdom, said: ‘Ah, but our scheme is different from the scheme in the United [More…]
Ours is fee for service; the scheme in the United Kingdom is based on salaries.’ [More…]
If he looks at the position a little closer I suggest that he will not continue with his argument that the system proposed by the Labor Government will be dissimilar from that which operates in the United Kingdom. [More…]
While referring to the United Kingdom, I point out that at present the second stage of the scheme is being introduced in that country. [More…]
The first stage of the scheme in the United Kingdom program permitted private and intermediate patients to continue to be treated in those categories, as has been the situation in Australia and which this Government claims will continue to be the practice under its scheme. [More…]
But if we look at the first stage of the scheme in Britain - forget about what is happening under the second stage of that scheme at the moment - and remember what the honourable member for Cook (Mr Thorburn) said about the number of operations of various types per 1,000 persons in Australia when compared with the number of operations of the same types in the United Kingdom, the facts which reveal that more of these operations are performed in Australia per 1,000 persons than in the United Kingdom tie in very nicely with the comments coming constantly from the United Kingdom that people who need non-urgent surgery in that country must wait for anything up to 2 years for that surgery unless they are prepared to pay the full cost of private clinic treatment. [More…]
Do not let Government supporters argue that their intention is not to have operating in Australia a scheme similar to that in the United Kingdom. [More…]
One needs to look only at what is being attempted at present in Canberra where proposals identical to those operating in the United Kingdom are being introduced. [More…]
What about the second stage of the United Kingdom scheme which is now being introduced? [More…]
The honourable member then confused the position in Australia with the position in the United Kingdom. [More…]
He told us that in Australia one had to transfer from one list to another and that one could not do that in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Of course, in Australia there are no lists and in the United Kingdom there are lists and people can transfer from one list to another by notifying the local post office that they are transferring to a new doctor. [More…]
In 1962-63 our butter sales to the United Kingdom were 72,000 tons. [More…]
From a position of dominance, the United Kingdom market now takes only 18 per cent of our total exports. [More…]
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has provided the following answer to the right honourable member’s question: <1) Pending a comprehensive revision of the Canberra Agreement of 1947 a Memorandum of Understanding was drawn up for signature by Australia, Fiji, France, Nauru, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and Western Samoa, the broad aim of which is to modify the Canberra Agreement of 1947 to reflect the changes in the Pacific in the 1970’s. [More…]
Did Australia fail to vote with the United States of America, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Fiji in favour of a motion to defer for 12 months the question before the General Assembly of the United Nations in late 1973 as to whether Cambodia should be represented by diplomats of the Lon Nol Government or those of Prince Sihanouk; if so, why. [More…]
That is patronage, that is corruption and that is the way in which votes can be won and it was the way in which of course, prior to the English Reform Acts, votes were won in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We can extend the waiting time for non-urgent surgery in public hospitals as they have had to do under the United Kingdom scheme upon which this scheme is modelled. [More…]
One has to wait three to five years in the United Kingdom to have surgery for varicose veins, non-urgent gynaecological disorders, hernias and the like. [More…]
State governments can confirm- and it is evidenced by the most recent 50 per cent increase in hospital charges- that hospital costs are running away in this country under the present scheme and at a much faster rate, as it happens than in Canada or the United Kingdom or the United States of America against which unfavourable comparisons are so often made. [More…]
This is how the United Kingdom has been able to keep expenditure on health below 5 per cent of its gross national product. [More…]
-I hope that we have a higher standard of living than they have in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Finally, the only people he could interest in this enormous project in the Pilbara was the Kaiser Steel Corporation of the United States of America and Riotinto Zinc Corporation of the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, if we follow the course of the United Kingdom and the United States in mindlessly plundering our raw reserves or, what is worse, do what the parties opposite were doing and, in effect hand the reserves over to others to plunder, we shall deserve to sink to the same wretched position as other countries have found themselves in. [More…]
Australian defence production is nearly always for much smaller quantities than is the case in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Whilst a lot of hard words are spoken about .inflation and there are a lot of attempts to suggest that if Opposition members were in government instead of us it would not exist, I point out again that the governments of France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, some of which vary in political complexion from this one, have the same sort of economic problem. [More…]
The truth of the matter is that the Strauss Committee in the United Kingdom in 1969-1 shall refer to the Committee ‘s report in a few moments- took the view that the definition of a pecuniary interest was one which was utterly elusive. [More…]
I do not want to enlarge on what the honourable member for Moreton has said about the situation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Indeed, that appears to have been the experience in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, Europe and Japan shipper bodies negotiate these arrangements with the Conferences concerned. [More…]
In the United Kingdom to Australia trade, for example, a monthly review of this adjustment factor has been mads since late 1972 by the British Shippers’ Council and the Conference. [More…]
In point of fact the suggestion of voluntary restraint on advertising was something which the major manufacturers in the United Kingdom undertook of their own volition. [More…]
If Dr Hendon associates such a recommendation with demagoguery- that is, unprincipled behaviour, if the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary is any help- his criticism must also apply to the United Kingdom industry. [More…]
Incidentally, this conclusion is not very different to the one arrived at by the United Kingdom Monopolies Commission that examined the household detergents industry in that country. [More…]
In his second reading speech the Minister points to an agreement with the United States and the United Kingdom which will enable us to have a faster postal service. [More…]
-Quite serious allegations were made concerning a certain company in Western Australia about the sponsoring of migrants, mainly from the United Kingdom. [More…]
He is not in the House because he has apparently gone to London to try to negotiate a sugar agreement with the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
One would hope that when the Minister for Northern Development in his discussions in the United Kingdom is talking about primary industry he remembers that circumstance and perhaps advocates some purchases of beef by the United Kingdom to try to alleviate the hard pressed position of the beef industry in Australia. [More…]
The Minister for Northern Development (Dr Patterson) is in the United Kingdom to protect the sugar industry. [More…]
For example for the year ended July 1974 retail prices increased in Japan by 25.2 per cent; in France by 1 4.4 per cent; in Italy by 1 8.9 per cent; in the United Kingdom by 17.1 per cent; in Belgium by 13.7 per cent; in Canada by 11.3 per cent with 5.6 per cent unemployment; in the United States of America by 1 1.7 per cent with 5.3 per cent unemployment; in Denmark by 15.9 per cent; in Portugal by 25.9 per cent- the unions can hardly be blamed for that situation there because Portugal does not have any unions; in Spain by 15.2 per cent; in Turkey by 25.9 per cent and in Australia by 14.4 per cent. [More…]
The only difference, of course, is that when the Wool Industry Bill was introduced much to-do was made by the Minister for Northern Development (Dr Patterson), who is now absent in the United Kingdom, to the effect that things were good in the wool industry and that therefore it was possible for the basis upon which the industry contributed to research and promotion to be varied. [More…]
Surely the sorry economic plight of the United Kingdom at this present time ought to be lesson enough to those who sit opposite and to the Australian community of the folly of believing that a lasting social structure can be built on a system which denies individual incentive and individual opportunity. [More…]
As his final public service he was High Commissioner in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Many members of the House visited the United Kingdom while he was there and knew the warmth of the welcome he gave, his knowledge of the British scene and his capacity to put people in touch with those with whom they wanted to talk. [More…]
Thus they were able to inform themselves, through him and his staff, in the best way possible so that they could derive benefit from their visit to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think it is worth while remembering that he was probably the only member of Cabinet who was appointed on a year’s sabbatical leave a resident Minister in London, accepting the responsibilities of the Australian High Commission in its relations with the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
I learned then, as I learned subsequently during his tenure of the High Commissionership, that he had, and was probably the only person we had appointed who had, immediate access to Ministers of the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
She was an outstanding individual who helped him considerably during the years of his term as High Commissioner in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It goes on to state that the tax was abolished in 1953 but that it remains in force in a number of countries, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
It operates in a few countries, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
I cannot follow the honourable gentleman in this debate, but I would like to present to him an analysis of the argument that was advanced in the ‘Bulletin’ about the high failure rate among Australian students in comparison with students in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Early in 1974 the Australian Government agreed to join with the governments of Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania in underwriting on a dollar for dollar matching basis the financial returns on apples exported at risk during 1974 to the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
For the benefit of honourable members on the Government side, I draw upon the Labour Chancellor of the Exchequor of the United Kingdom, who recently referred to the twin evils of unemployment and inflation, for that is what they are; unemployment so degrading of human dignity, a waste of human resources and debilitating to the economy; inflation so destructive of the standard of living, rendering savings if not worthless then seriously depleted and setting despair amongst the community. [More…]
Countries including the United States of America, France, Switzerland, Japan and the United Kingdom are above us on the list. [More…]
The United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, France and Canada are countries which paid more in terms of welfare payments than Australia. [More…]
This legislation is in existence in France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I have been advised- I have not had time to check it- that the practice is outlawed in the United Kingdom and is also outlawed in the United States of America. [More…]
Let me take the Australia-United Kingdom Conference as an example. [More…]
He could instruct ANL to pull out of the Conference, set up its own freight line to the United Kingdom and then set freight rates that would attract business but be totally uneconomic. [More…]
This is in keeping with the transfer or shift of trade from Europe and the United Kingdom to Asia. [More…]
As a matter of fact, our trade with the United Kingdom at the present time is only about eight or nine per cent of our total trade. [More…]
Of our main trading partners, Japan recorded 25 per cent inflation, Italy 19 per cent, the United Kingdom 17 per cent, Denmark 16 per cent, New Zealand 10.5 per cent and the United States and Canada 1 1.5 per cent. [More…]
We are not happy with more than 2 per cent out of work, but in the United States of America and Canada the figure is more than 6 per cent and in the United Kingdom stands at 5 per cent. [More…]
The third one, of course, in default of a sufficient number being available from either of those sources would be to recruit from overseas skilled miners from the traditional mining counties in the north of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think it is fair to say that this House continues to act in a somewhat more colourful fashion than its equivalent House in, say, the United Kingdom, Canada or New Zealand. [More…]
It is well known to honourable members that a three-line whip in the United Kingdom states that a division on the Budget will take place at 9.30 p.m. the week after next and the members turn up for such a major division in their complete numbers. [More…]
Certainly there are sociological and distribution differences between the United Kingdom Parliament and the Australian Parliament. [More…]
One of the problems is that although there is a great deal of experience in the United Kingdom and a good deal of experience in Canada, where the parliamentary system is roughly similar to ours, so far we have not established an effective committee system. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there are both. [More…]
This Committee in the United Kingdom does not sit just for a few days between the introduction of - the Budget and the passage of the Estimates. [More…]
But in the United Kingdom there are 4 general purpose committees and, as I understand it, there is a steering committee which allocates the business of the House of Commons to the different committees. [More…]
I argue for general purpose committees following the United Kingdom practice because there are just not enough members of this chamber to establish a whole series of specialist committees dealing with the whole ambit of governmental affairs. [More…]
I think in the United Kingdom the membership might be between forty and eighty. [More…]
It contains some remarks in relation to the committee system and it draws information from the United Kingdom practice. [More…]
Standing orders relating to the United Kingdom Expenditure Committee and to the Public Accounts Committee are attached, as is the relevant extract from our Public Accounts Act. [More…]
In the United Kingdom this used to be achieved by the Chairman of one being a member of the other. [More…]
I think a useful precedent that could be followed in our system of government is that system which is followed in the United Kingdom with Conservative Party Governments, where in every Minister’s office there is a political secretary who is paid for out of party funds. [More…]
They continued to build their hopes on the alliances that may have existed between ourselves and the United States of America, and ourselves and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Rhodesia, Rumania, Western Samoa, Senegal, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Uganda, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United Kingdom, United States of America, Venezuela, South Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Zaire, Zambia. [More…]
The problems are similar in the United Kingdom which has oscillated between the 2 governments twice in the last 4 years. [More…]
In Japan it is 25.4 per cent; France, 14.5 .per cent; Italy, 20.4 per cent; United Kingdom, 16.9 per cent; Belgium, 14.6 percent; Ireland, 17 per cent; Denmark, 16 per cent; Greece, 28.4 per cent; Iceland, 41.4 per cent; Portugal, 25.8 per cent; Spain, 15.3 per cent; Turkey, 25.3 per cent. [More…]
The present legislation provides for 3 alternative qualifying criteria for goods partly manufactured in New Zealand: (i) not less than one-half of the factory cost is represented by New Zealand and/or Australian labour and materials; (ii) for goods of a class or kind not manufactured in Australia, not less than one-quarter of the factory cost is represented by New Zealand and/or Australian labour and materials; and (iii) not less than three-quarters of the factory cost is represented by New Zealand and/or Australian and/or United Kingdom labour and materials. [More…]
The third criterion is to be deleted since it is clearly no longer in our interests that goods should qualify for New Zealand preference by reason of their United Kingdom content. [More…]
As I said this morning, similar observations have been made in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
In that year he pointed out to the people of the United Kingdom the problems that arise from a rampant bureaucracy. [More…]
Since then a parliamentary commissioner has been appointed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We are deficient in our procedures and it is time that we brought them up to date and at least got to the same position as the people in New Zealand and in the United Kingdom are in. [More…]
America has had it since the 1890s, and so has Canada, the United Kingdom and aU of Western Europe. [More…]
It has happened in the United Kingdom, where Mr Wilson was returned. [More…]
Scores of thousands of car workers in the United Kingdom have been retrenched during the last 3 or 4 months. [More…]
1 ask the Opposition to take note of some of these figures: Canada 5.5 per cent; United States 5.2 per cent; Japan 1.3 per cent; Australia 1.5 per cent; France 2.3 per cent; Germany 1.6 per cent; Italy 2.8 per cent; United Kingdom 2.2 per cent; Belgium 2.3 per cent; Netherlands 2.6 per cent; Finland 1.7 per cent; Sweden 1.5 per cent. [More…]
I think we should be doing something about the rates and taxes and other outgoings for pensioners who own their own homes, not perhaps by way of grant but in the way that it is done in the United Kingdom, for example- by making financial accommodation available to them and leaving the repayment until after death or, indeed, until after the death of the last survivor of a married couple. [More…]
United Kingdom, 1 1 in Sweden and 35 in the United States of America. [More…]
There was some stability during the war and after the war until 1954 when rationing ended in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The only satisfactory solution to the problem is a long term meat agreement such as was negotiated with the United Kingdom immediately after the war. [More…]
They quote the United Kingdom and the United States of America unemployment figures. [More…]
I recollect a previous Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Clem Attlee, saying some years ago that he was very frightened indeed of the lack of knowledge in China of the viewpoints of the rest of the world and that the sooner the isolation of China was ended the better it would be for the peace of the whole world. [More…]
To see how our immigration policy will affect Australia in the long term one need only look at the position in the United Kingdom at present. [More…]
It is possible that we may be assisted in our discussions if information is obtained with respect to the relevant staffing arrangements of the United Kingdom House of [More…]
The third thing we would aim at is the strengthening of our ties with the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the utmost cooperation with these countries which are our traditional allies in military training and defence procurement. [More…]
Would those honourable members send a football team to the United Kingdom with only 1 1 players, those players not having had the opportunity of playing together before? [More…]
What are the present prospects of a long term sugar agreement with the United Kingdom? [More…]
Has the Minister noted a report that those negotiating on behalf of the United Kingdom Government were uncertain as to the quantities of sugar that may be available from Australia and as to the price of that sugar? [More…]
Many statements have been made in recent days in the United Kingdom as well as on the Continent regarding the possibility of a long term sugar agreement between either the European Economic Community and Australia or between the United Kingdom as a member of the EEC and Australia. [More…]
I am also aware of the very serious problems facing the refineries in the United Kingdom- Tate and Lyle in particularwith respect to the refining of raw sugar inported into Britain. [More…]
Let us look at the situation in other countriesfor example, the United Kingdom and Canada. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Television Act 1954-63 provides, in section 1 (4): [More…]
That,briefly, is the situation in the United Kingdom and I would suggest it is not an intolerable one. [More…]
It can be seen that both the United Kingdom and Canada are accepting, and in fact have laid down, the sorts of guidelines and rules that we are putting forward in this particular series of amendments. [More…]
To the United Kingdom in the first half of 1973 we exported 52,577 tonnes and in the same period in 1974 the figure was 14,87 1 tonnes. [More…]
Deliveries have been made to the United Kingdom, against an order received prior to S December 1 972. [More…]
In the period January 1973 to mid-October 1974, one new order was received, for 32 aircraft, from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The same thing is happening in the United Kingdom. [More…]
the United Kingdom or other non-African country. [More…]
What percentage of the total migrant quota will come from countries such as the United Kingdom and Italy? [More…]
Orders of the United Kingdom, states that this matter should have been brought before me yesterday or after prayers this morning at the earliest possible moment. [More…]
The first is that not less than one half of the factory cost is to be represented by New Zealand and/or Australian labour and materials; the second is that for goods of a class or kind not manufactured in Australia not less than one-quarter of the factory cost is represented by New Zealand and/or Australian labour and materials; and the third is that not less than three-quarters of the factory cost is represented by New Zealand and/or Australian and/or United Kingdom labour and materials. [More…]
In that period, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States, all signatories to the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, have not carried out any nuclear weapons tests in the atmosphere. [More…]
1 ) Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to reports that the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the Soviet Union have agreed to a nuclear embargo on India. [More…]
The anonymity of discussions in the jury room is something that is essentially basic to the administration of justice in Australia and comes to us through tradition from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Comparable figures today in other parts of the world are: Canada, 5.3 per cent; United States of America, 6 per cent; the Federal Republic of Germany, 3.8 per cent; the United Kingdom, 4 per cent; Italy, 4.5 per cent; and Japan, where the figure has doubled in the last quarter, 2 per cent. [More…]
But the official OECD forecasts of growth for 1975 indicate these rates of growth: Canada 2% per cent; the United States of America, minus Vh per cent; Japan, 2 per cent; France, 3 per cent; the Federal Republic of Germany, 1V4 per cent; Holland, minus Va per cent; United Kingdom, 1 per cent; New Zealand, 3 per cent; and in Australia, 2% per cent. [More…]
In Japan and the United Kingdom, for example, they are rising at the annual rate of 23 per cent and 16 per cent respectively. [More…]
I think we have only to look at the experiences of the United Kingdom to make us at least seek an alternative solution to this problem of the high cost of storage. [More…]
How many migrants will the Minister let in from the United Kingdom over the next 12 months? [More…]
How can those who want Australian citizenship so that they can travel overseas on Australian passports be sure that if they use their United Kingdom passports they will be allowed to return to Australia? [More…]
How will Australian settlers holding United Kingdom passports who travel to New Zealand be sure that they can return to Australia after they have done all that they can to obtain Australian citizenship but through departmental bungling, printing bungling and ministerial mismanagement they are not able to obtain the citizenship they desire? [More…]
Even in the United Kingdom, not affected by any tariff policy, the car industry is closing down. [More…]
There have been longitudinal studies done in the United Kingdom to which I will come shortly. [More…]
As an example of the kind of attention that we ought to be giving this question, I refer to the study undertaken by the Children’s Bureau in the United Kingdom and the results of national studies undertaken there. [More…]
I would expect that some of the questions studied by the United Kingdom’s Children’s Bureau to which I have referred would be considered by the Australian Children’s Bureau. [More…]
I recall that Mr Tregear was a very distinguished Clerk of this House who spent some 12 months in the United Kingdom studying the procedures of the House of Commons. [More…]
Now that the Miners Federation in the United Kingdom has destroyed the social compact there and the air pilots have done the same thing here and have both shown that the concept of a social compact is a farce against society, will the Minister, in all decency, ensure that the Government’s proposal to urge the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission to introduce indexation is reconsidered by the Government and an opportunity given to debate the concept in this House? [More…]
For example, in Japan the ratio is 3.8, in the United States of America 3.9, in France 3.4, in Germany 2.4, in the United Kingdom 3.7 and in Canada 3.8. [More…]
We find the following changes recorded: Japan 23.8 per cent; France 14.8 per cent; Italy 23.7 per cent; United Kingdom 17.1 per cent; Belgium 15.6 per cent; Denmark 15.9 per cent; Ireland 17.9 per cent; Finland 16.5 per cent; Greece 24.9 per cent; Iceland 41.4 per cent; Portugal 28.7 per cent; Spain 15.2 per cent; and Turkey 25.5 per cent. [More…]
We see news stories to the effect that there are six more votes to come from New Zealand, five more to come from Coolangatta, two more to come from the United Kingdom, seven more to come from France or somewhere. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it has been found that 5 words is sufficient, and six seems to be a reasonable number to accommodate every conceivable political party which is operating in Australia at the present time. [More…]
The authors of the book I have mentioned believe that the substantial recent increase in the income tax bite in the United Kingdom is the factor which explains this change in union behaviour. [More…]
The United Kingdom is about to become the tenth European country to have such a tax. [More…]
Of course, the United Kingdom currently has a property income surcharge and that surcharge has operated for many years. [More…]
He was saying this in the days after the Second World War when the welfare state was proposed around the world and was being discovered in the United Kingdom and in Australia. [More…]
As far as loopholes in the legislation or in the administration of the law are concerned, a frequent criticism of the tax system raised in many countries with high rates of taxation ( for example, the United Kingdom) - and it should add, Australia- is (hat the tax system is only highly progressive in form and that in substance many wealthy taxpayers avoid the full effects of the progression in rates of taxation. [More…]
It is a practice commonly acknowledged in the United States of America and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Another recommendation is that we adopt the practice that applies in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, where bus operators are excused from paying excise duty on petrol. [More…]
United Kingdom: where a spread made of vegetable oil and skim milk solids, with an oil content of about 40 per cent has been introduced and is enjoying some success. [More…]
Despite the fact that similar reorganisations in the United Kingdom and Canada- I admit that the Canadian one went further- took many years to consider, with exhaustive discussions with everbody likely to be involved before the government took a decision and took even longer to accomplish after decisions had been taken, the Government required Sir Arthur Tange to prepare his report in 12 months. [More…]
Their fears were confirmed by the fact that the proposed reorganisation, in contrast to the United Kingdom, provided the Chief of the Defence Force Staff with very little staff backing in contrast to the large high powered machine the Secretary had behind him. [More…]
I have to inform the House that we have present in the gallery today members of a delegation from the United Kingdom Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association led by the right honourable R. Graham Page, M.B.E., M.P. [More…]
I would say that if we examine the relationship between metropolitan powers and administered entities- whether it be with African countries, whether it be Fiji and the United Kingdom or what other entity one chooses- we would see that there has probably not been an administered area which was as close to the metropolitan power, not geographically but in the way it moved towards its independence- as Papua New Guinea used to be to us. [More…]
Those who say that Australia is not dependent to a large extent on the economies of the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Japan and New Zealand are either fools or liars. [More…]
$280,000; this expenditure is shared equally by Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Anglo-Australian Telescope Board, which is responsible to both the Australian and United Kingdom Governments, and the Telescope Director. [More…]
Modifications to meet the Australian requirements have been completed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The statement made by the British Minister for Defence clearly outlined the decision of the Defence Department of the United Kingdom in relation to its commitments east of Suez. [More…]
We accept the United Kingdom decision to withdraw its garrison forces from Singapore. [More…]
At the same time the United Kingdom Minister for Defence made it quite clear that his country would continue to co-operate with Australia and New Zealand and the other countries which are parties to the Five Power Arrangements. [More…]
The Australian Government believes that the United Kingdom Government acted quite properly in this matter. [More…]
For example, in the United Kingdom there are advances made for this purpose- not grants but advances- and in this respect perhaps we should take a leaf out of the United Kingdom ‘s book. [More…]
This man works in the nationalised health service in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has just withdrawn from the region. [More…]
The tree pull scheme as it has become known was founded in difficulties two and a half years ago with the collapse of the traditional markets, such as the United Kingdom market and the European Economic Community market, which were then in a state of complete surplus in which the price had collapsed. [More…]
Whether this plant, which is fashioned on one in the United Kingdom, will be too severe for Australian apple trees, which traditionally have the main tap root severed before final planting, is a matter that obviously can be resolved in the future. [More…]
(a) In the same period, with the exception of the United Kingdom, 2,564 nominees within Category A were approved for entry to Australia at overseas posts. [More…]
In respect of the United Kingdom approvals by category are only available from September 1974, and in that month 138 nominees were approved within Category A; (b) As at 30 September 1974, a total of 6,050 nominees within Category A were under consideration at overseas posts. [More…]
Note: These figures do not include an unknown number of nominees of British citizenship, mainly from the United Kingdom, who will only be subject to the grant of a visa after 1 January 1975. [More…]
1 ) How many persons have been sponsored for entry to Australia from (a) Hong Kong, (b) the Philippines, (c) Burma, (d) India, (e) Bangladesh, (f) Sri Lanka, (g) Malaysia, (h) Singapore, (i) Indonesia, (j) Fiji, (k) the United Kingdom, ( 1 ) Sweden, (m) Germany, (n) Spain, (o) Italy, (p) Greece, (q) Turkey, (r) Lebanon, (s) Chile and (t) Iran. [More…]
Malaysia, (h) Singapore, (i) Indonesia, (j) Fiji, (k) the United Kingdom, (I) Sweden, (m) Germany, (n) Spain, (o) Italy, (p) Greece, (q) Turkey, (r) Lebanon, (s) Chile and (t) Iran. [More…]
It also requests and consents to the enactment of United Kingdom legislation for these purposes. [More…]
If not, the United Kingdom Government will be asked to introduce legislation in the terms of the Westminster Bill scheduled to our Bill. [More…]
The procedures are contained in a United Kingdom Act of 1833. [More…]
United Kingdom Ministers gave the same advice and, as the Queen announced when opening our Parliament on 28 February last year, she decided not to refer the questions to the Privy Council: the appropriate tribunal to determine those questions was the High Court of Australia. [More…]
Last year Queensland again endeavoured to obtain an advisory opinion from the Privy Council, this time in connection with questions concerning Her Majesty’s Royal style and titles- the proposal that Her Majesty should be known as Queen of the United Kingdom, of Australia, of Queensland and so on. [More…]
As a result of that discussion I wrote to the Premiers on 23 July and said that if all the States were to agree that appeals to the Privy Council should be abolished I would be prepared to proceed by means of a joint approach by all the Australian governments to the United Kingdom Government asking it to enact legislation abolishing appeals. [More…]
I have since had discussions with the United Kingdom Prime Minister and have decided that the best course to resolve these issues is to reintroduce the Bill, which I have now done, and to give every opportunity for questions as to its validity to be raised in the High Court of Australia, in accordance with proper constitutional processes. [More…]
In that federal parliament will be represented the United Kingdom as well as a lot of other countries which, naturally, are mainly interested in their own production and their own survival. [More…]
On 20 December in the United Kingdom the Prime Minister attacked States’ rights. [More…]
In the case of the United Kingdom and in respect of the North Sea oil production a profit of somewhat less than US$ 1 a barrel will be permitted. [More…]
Why, even the Minister for the Northern Territory and Minister for Northern Development (Dr Patterson), who went on a mission to the EEC last year to negotiate some prospects for sugar access into Britain, in his efforts with the EEC to allow Australian sugar to be brought into the United Kingdom failed even to raise the question of beef at a time when it might well have been meaningful and that country might have helped Australia to overcome some of the problems which it faces through political barriers that exist in that country. [More…]
The United Kingdom figures demonstrated this very clearly. [More…]
Can he say what are the comparable provisions in the United Kingdom, the United States of Amenca and Canada. [More…]
The Depanment of Defence has advised that in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada extensive use is made of service passenger aircraft. [More…]
Where civil air is used, it is a general rule that service personnel travel by economy class but in the United Kingdom officers of two star rank and above travel first class and special approval may be obtained for first class travel in the United States of America. [More…]
The absence of evidence-gathering powers in the United Kingdom legislation has been said to impede seriously the effectiveness of that legislation. [More…]
In some areas proposals have recently been made in the United Kingdom and some of those proposals have commended themselves for inclusion in the Bill. [More…]
That is the situation which obtains in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It represents one of the conspicuous legislative moves by any Government in the matter of the links of this country with the United Kingdom. [More…]
I for one find it inviting in terms of contemplation to look a century ahead when the United Kingdom may find itself by that time in some Heath Robinson like federation in Europe- a component in a European federation. [More…]
I do not seek to attack it in any shape or form other than to observe that it produces in terms of the United Kingdom and in terms of this country the most profound and far reaching of political and constitutional changes. [More…]
It is interesting to reflect upon the fact that when the Australian delegation went to the United Kingdom 75 years ago to present to the members of the Imperial Parliament the draft of our Constitution the central point of contention between the Australian delegation and the British authorities surrounded the question of the Privy Council. [More…]
I have adverted to the fact that when our Constitution was presented 75 years ago this was the point of contention, not by our forebears in this country alone but, indeed, principally by those in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Above all, there remains a clear need for determining whether a Socialist Government of the Ward variety in Australia could connive with a Socialist Government of the Aneurin Bevan variety in the United Kingdom to use the Statute of Westminster to smash the Australian Federalist system and erect a Socialist State in its stead. [More…]
I cite the Christmas Island Requesting Act of May 1958, a United Kingdom Act which says in the preamble: [More…]
But I would invite the honourable gentleman’s attention to the fact that all of the components in the Australian federation, all of the States, remain legally tied to the United Kingdom, notwithstanding the Statute of Westminster. [More…]
We have the incredible situation today where the States are still legally tied to the United Kingdom in a great variety of ways. [More…]
The States were not the creation of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom created colonies which were transformed to States when the federation was established. [More…]
But their links with the United Kingdom are firm, clear and direct. [More…]
The States still have their various links with the United Kingdom, notably the Colonial Laws Validity Act and the Australian States Constitution Act. [More…]
They are the 2 principal Acts that continue to bind the States to the United Kingdom. [More…]
We invite the Government to persuade the States to have recourse to the United Kingdom, for the United Kingdam Parliament to pass legislation to change their status which is long overdue for change. [More…]
One may give final point to the submission by arguing in this fashion: Assuming that this measure is passed and that the United Kingdom Parliament consents to it, it does not disturb the fundamental principle that the Austraiian States still cannot continue to pass legislation which is fundamentally repugnant to the laws of England. [More…]
That section is the form by which there can be an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, designed with the request and consent of the Australian Parliament to enact legislation, which can specifically change the provisions which are now the ultimate sanctuary of the rights of the individual in this country- the sanctuary provided by the Australian Constitution. [More…]
Therefore we regard it as totally repugnant that this piece of legislation should have a schedule attached to it and a section 7 included in it which in typically menial colonial terms consents to and requests the Parliament of the United Kingdom to pass an Act in accordance with terms set out in that schedule. [More…]
It seems to me quite paradoxial indeed that the Prime Minister and members of the Governmentwho have asserted their independence of the United Kingdom, who have suggested that in some way we on this side of the House were acting against the best interests of the Australian community in maintaining defence ties and close and meaningful ties in so many other forms with the United Kingdom and with other countries of the Western world, and who have denied the right and the meaningfulness of those associationsshould introduce into this Parliament and seek our approval of a piece of legislation which is so reminiscent of the days of the complete colonial subservience of this country to the Government of Westminster. [More…]
So much for the independence which he seeks from courts outside Australia; so much for his severing of the old ties of the Commonwealth; and so much for his assertion that really he is not severing his connections with the United Kingdom but is re-establishing them. [More…]
The statutes which are enacted here on matters of hire purchase, company law, criminal law, custody law and family law, if the Bill goes through in its present form, are legislative trends miles apart in many ways from the legislative trends in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The degree of expertise, the degree of judicial competence surely cannot be stretched so far as to say to British judges, no matter how good they might be and they are good: ‘Look, in addition to your own tasks in the final court of appeal in the United Kingdom you have to look after a significant number of appeals from Australia too’. [More…]
If State politics require some State politicians to go over to the United Kingdom and say, ‘Look, I want to preserve some link with you even if it means degrading me in the eyes of Australians generally by relying on some colonial link, some link that is based on subservience, some link that puts me in the position of colonial as against metropolitan power’ there is and there must be a wider social interest involved otherwise this country can never advance and put the seal of adulthood on its affairs. [More…]
That first Bill which has been passed, the Privy Council Appeals Abolition Bill, is intended to abolish appeals to the Privy Council from State courts in wholly State matters by means of a request from this Parliament to the Parliament of the United Kingdom to act in accordance with the Statute of Westminster. [More…]
Particularly he cannot bring himself to recognise that, at the same time as all States are bound by the Constitution into one indissoluble union, that is, into the Australian nation, they also draw legal authority in significant ways directly from the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
By the measures that he introduced into this House in the Bill that has already been passed he seeks to cut across that direct stream of legal authority from the States to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
An outstanding example at the present moment of a country in which the quality of the health care provided is being badly undermined by the introduction of a nationalised form of medicine is the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there has been a steady deterioration in the delivery of health care in the hospitals, and there have been continuous problems in the area of primary care outside the hospitals as far as the general practitioner and private specialist areas are concerned. [More…]
The position in the United Kingdom is so serious that the resident doctors at the royal medical colleges recently joined with the British medical faculties in warning that there was a real danger of standards declining to the point where recovery would be impossible within the foreseeable future. [More…]
I point to the long periods which elapse before chronic cases can be admitted to hospitals in the United Kingdom. [More…]
One has only to look at the United Kingdom to see how the health system in that country is ailing. [More…]
The difference is that the United Kingdom does not have a written constitution and therefore no piece of legislation may be declared by the judiciary in the United Kingdom to be constitutionally invalid. [More…]
So when a judge in the United Kingdom is called upon to give a judgment in a matter what he does is to apply the law of the land to the particular facts of the case before him without having any capacity or authority to call into question the validity of that law. [More…]
So there is simply left to the United Kingdom judge the task of properly interpreting the legislation and then on a proper interpretation of the law applying it to the particular facts of the case as found by him. [More…]
So there is no opportunity in the United Kingdom for law to be declared constitutionally invalid. [More…]
When the Conciliation and Arbitration Act comes before the judges of the Industrial Court they are in exactly the same position as the United Kingdom judges to whom I have referred. [More…]
Because of the continued occurrence of swine vesicular disease in the United Kingdom, importation of pigs and pig semen from that country has not been permitted. [More…]
In view of the risks of introducing rabies, dogs imported into the United Kingdom for transhipment to Australia are now obliged to remain in that country for 12 months prior to shipment. [More…]
In the United Kingdom investment in securities, during the same period, was actually negative. [More…]
To my mind this shows that Mr Stonehouse knows the Minister will not take action in the absence of a request for extradition from the United Kingdom so long as Mr Stonehouse remains a member of Parliament. [More…]
Mr Short read a letter from Mr Stonehouse in which he said that he would co-operate fully with the select committee, even though he did not intend to return to the United Kingdom. [More…]
A special inquiry has been set up by Mr Stonehouse ‘s colleague in the House of Commons, the present United Kingdom Minister for Trade. [More…]
It is not realistic to suggest that Mr Stonehouse would be subjected to unfair treatment by the legal processes in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Nor is it realistic to argue that he would be victimised by the United Kingdom authorities. [More…]
Therefore, a request for permanent residence based on the argument that Mr Stonehouse would be unfairly treated in the United Kingdom is, in my view, plain nonsense. [More…]
Secondly, if Mr Stonehouse is in need of continuing psychiatric treatment then that treatment surely is available in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The British Government has the right to take action against him under 2 Acts of the United Kingdom Parliament. [More…]
Any offence under the Criminal Law Act of Britain does not become an extraditable offence even if proven but it does become an extraditable offence if a person is convicted of an offence under the Forgery Act of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government is faced with the dilemma that since the Forgery Act was first put on to the statute book the Act has never been used in respect of this kind of offence. [More…]
This kind of offence normally would be dealt with only under the Criminal Law Act of the United Kingdom and that would not help to obtain extradition. [More…]
I spoke to the High Commissioner for the United Kingdom, Sir Morrice James, about this matter. [More…]
Very competent tribunals have been established in the United Kingdom and in Australia to deal with these matters. [More…]
Other countries, notably the United States of America and the United Kingdom, have taken a similar approach to the matter and have banned unsolicited cards. [More…]
The Act in the United Kingdom gives complete powers regarding investment. [More…]
I said that it would be an absurd proposition to answer that question unequivocally because if we were unfortunate enough not to resume power after, say, 3 years, the Medibank scheme would be woven fabric of Australian society as it was in the United Kingdom. [More…]
A census taken in 1915 indicated that the top one per cent of families in Australia owned 39 per cent of the country’s wealth, a concentration that compares with the current United Kingdom and United States of America levels of 42 per cent and 32 per cent respectively. [More…]
It seems to me that whilst there is obviously some confusion there does not seem to be any enthusiasm for the fundamental idea that this Australian Parliament, like the Parliaments of the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America, should move into this area. [More…]
We want to make it clear that the Housing Corporation can provide rental subsidies direct to families, on the one hand, or indeed to do in Australia what is done in other parts of the world, that is, to assist even the entrepreneurs because the fact is that this sort of thing is done in Canada, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and in Germany. [More…]
For example, national governments in Canada, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany have found it necessary to become deeply involved in the field of housing. [More…]
The United Kingdom housing corporation provides assistance through subsidies, loans and grants to voluntary housing agencies, societies and so on to widen the range and choice of accommodation. [More…]
The legislation originally proposed by the then Conservative Government in the United Kingdom sought to increase the powers of the corporation to enable it, among other things, to buy and sell land, to develop land for housing and to acquire, convert and improve existing housing. [More…]
Prices in the European Economic Community countries and the United Kingdom have remained fairly steady. [More…]
This was not possible in the United Kingdom and it would not be possible here. [More…]
That is the result of the experience in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The reason why we are so rigid in our opposition is that we have studied what has happened in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and also in Sweden. [More…]
Looking at the situation in the United Kingdom, we find that that country is required to spend nearly Stg3,000m on its health scheme. [More…]
That is, a United Kingdom product landed at, say, $3,000 in 1972 could ceteris paribus, as the economist would say, be landed at about $2,100 in 1973-74. [More…]
In the United Kingdom a national Schools Council fosters curriculum and materials development by providing funds and other support and by arranging publication of results. [More…]
It is not the case in the United Kingdom and I know that honourable members are aware of an example in this regard and I do not think that it should be different here. [More…]
In the words of the Franks Committee on Tribunals and Enquiries, the Tribunal from the United Kingdom, the Tribunal is not to be an or.dinary court, but neither is it to be an appendage of Government departments. [More…]
I do not know the distance from Lands End to John O ‘Groats in the United Kingdom but it is probably not 830 kilometres. [More…]
Yet in 1965-10 years agothe Race Relations Act was passed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It forms the basis not only of the Bill we are discussing tonight but also of succeeding legislation in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Canada and the United States of America. [More…]
Did the British Government through its High Commission, or in any other way, indicate to the Government or to officials of British Airways that the Russian violinist Georgi Ermolenko was not to be carried on United Kingdom aircraft out of Australia from Perth Airport. [More…]
The three founder members- France, the United Kingdom and Pakistan- never went into Vietnam in combat force. [More…]
There is another aspect that reduces the legislation in the United Kingdom to a very ineffective level. [More…]
Legislation of a roughly similar nature to that proposed by the Government has been passed, I understand, in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I know that they have been successful, but I would ask the Government to consider the fact that, while there is a problem of racial discrimination in Australia, there are significant differences between the problem that we have and the problem experienced in the United Kingdom. [More…]
1 ) Has his attention been drawn to the statement by a Professor Jones of the United Kingdom that the industrial decline in that country is caused by massive company and direct taxes, which leave too little money for re-investment or expansion. [More…]
Can he say whether company tax in the United Kingdom is 1 9 per cent, in West Germany 27 per cent and in the United States of America 30 per cent. [More…]
ting the United Kingdom’s economic problems to a variety of quite different factors, including those mentioned by the honourable member. [More…]
The United Kingdom has an imputation system of taxing companies and their shareholders under which a shareholder is permitted a credit against personal income tax on dividends received to allow for some of the tax paid by the distributing company on the profits it distributes. [More…]
Generally they relate to the landed aristocracy in the United Kingdom or in Europe, or perhaps to people of social fame or prominence. [More…]
Such a concept finds a place in the New Zealand and United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
It is modelled largely on the United Kingdom legislation which has been effective. [More…]
The experience in the United Kingdom has been that people who come before compulsory conferences are quite prepared, indeed determined, to thumb their noses at them and just refuse to say anything at all. [More…]
It is important to note the difference between the Public Accounts Committee, whose principal purpose is to see that monies have been spent as Parliament ordered, and the Expenditure Committee, which has operated in the United Kingdom in one form or another for over 30 years, probably nearer to 40 years, on a basis of determining whether departments are drawing up their estimates economically. [More…]
It is the best possible safeguard for the public purse in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This would not be a committee to examine estimates between their presentation to the Parliament and the passage of the Budget; that is what happened originally in the United Kingdom and it was found to be an ineffective process. [More…]
The United Kingdom Parliament has four. [More…]
Yesterday, the Prime Minister said something about the value of a 2-party system in the United Kingdom. [More…]
That can occur in the United States, in the United Kingdom and in nearly every other voting system in the world, whether they have voluntary voting systems or whether they do not have compulsory preferential voting systems. [More…]
If the Government were consistent it would realise that the Liberal Party, for instance, in the United Kingdom can poll millions of votes and yet win almost no seats. [More…]
The countries concerned, and the dates on which the agreements were signed, are- the United Kingdom (29 October 1946, revised 7 December 1967); the United States of America (14 May 1953); Canada ( 1 October 1 957); [More…]
Talks have also been held with the United Kingdom and the United States concerning possible revision of aspects of the comprehensive agreements currently in force with each of those countries. [More…]
The end price of many of the productive items they grow, items such as citrus for the New Zealand and Hong Kong markets, apples for the United Kingdom and grapes for the wine industry with an export ingredient, is dictated by the markets of the world. [More…]
It reminded me that Jim Callaghan, who is now the Foreign Secretary in the United Kingdom but who was, at the time of making the remark that I am about to quote, the Chancellor of the Exchequer in that country, had, when asked why the United Kingdom reserves had dwindled over the years, replied: ‘Because we had no statistics to tell us it was happening’. [More…]
There’ were insufficient statistics about the United Kingdom’s balance of payments situation for very many years. [More…]
I suppose that in a way every public service has its Parkinson and Parkinson’s law operates in the Commonwealth as well as in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia’s unemployment is worse than in Japan, France or Germany, it is equal to Italy and worse than the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands. [More…]
The interstate commission they envisaged was modelled largely on the commission created in the United Kingdom by the Railway and Canal Traffic Act of 1888, which was designed to prevent unjust charges and ensure rights of through traffic amongst private railway systems. [More…]
While I would be prepared to accept that the original idea of the InterState Commission may have had its genesis in an Act of the United Kingdom back in the 1 9th century, I think that for anyone to argue seriously that a useful analogy can be drawn between the circumstances that then existed and the circumstances which exist today in Australia is to be patently absurd. [More…]
The inflation rate in the United Kingdom is running at about 19.8 per cent at the moment and the people of the United Kingdom are not at all happy with the measures that have been adopted by the Treasurer there. [More…]
It has its origin in old United Kingdom legislation which has, so far as concerns recovery of penalties by common informers, been repealed in more recent times. [More…]
He is all but gone under United Kingdom legislation and, except perhaps in some of the statute law of the various States, he may also be gone from Australian law. [More…]
It has gone in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Indeed, not only has it gone in the United Kingdom but the provisions of old English statutes regarding agreements with the public service and the government also have gone from United Kingdom law. [More…]
The authority contained in this legislation which has been regarded as harsh and oppressive is most fair and reasonable when it is compared with overseas legislation such as United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
The history of the industry in the United Kingdom has shown clearly that the promotion of Australian content ought to be reflected in our legislation. [More…]
A local content of approximately 80 per cent was achieved in the United Kingdom and the standard of television production reached a level that was competitive with the best of the American productions. [More…]
In 1970 the United Kingdom had 9 infantry battalions- a division of men deployed in SouthEast Asia. [More…]
In the short time available to me I wish to refer to another quite separate difficulty, namely, that of new settlers who come to Australia from far away places, such as the United Kingdom, western, southern and eastern Europe, and parts of Asia. [More…]
People who come to Australia from the United Kingdom, where the system is such that the shop steward is a power unto himself on the factory floor, fail to understand why some person, whether a trade union official or an employer organisation representative, who is very far removed from the work place, should be able to dictate to them what they should do. [More…]
He covered the United Kingdom where the situation is very difficult to pinpoint, but most of the responsibilities for police are exercised by the Home Office which is separate from the Attorney-General. [More…]
1 ) As the Australian Government insurance legislation is very similar in structure to that of The Insurance Companies ‘ Act 1 974 of the United Kingdom, will he give urgent consideration to having incorporated into the Australian legislation provisions dealing with (a) control of insurance company investments and (b) oversights of the suitability of directors and other executive officers of such companies. [More…]
In relation to the Insurance Acts 1973, will he take steps to have it amended by including a new section 2lA similar to section 7 of the United Kingdom Act, with consequential amendments to sections 22 and 27. [More…]
Will he also take steps (a) to amend section 29 by inserting a new provision that a person is not a fit and proper person to manage the affairs of a body corporate, (b) to amend section 52 by inserting the provision in section 39 of the United Kingdom Act, (c) to insert new sections 62a, 62b and 62c similar to sections 52, 53 and 54 of the United Kingdom Act and (d) to amend section 30 to incorporate the investment provisions contained in section 30 of the United Kingdom Act. [More…]
1 ) to (4) The Government is aware of the provisions of The Insurance Companies’ Act 1974 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In this context consideration is given to the relevance of new insurance legislation in appropriate overseas countries, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
These provisions have similarities to the provisions contained in The Insurance Companies’ Act 1974 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In regard to this United Kingdom Act it is important to read the provisions referred to in the honourable member’s question and relating to the control of investments in the context of sections 28 and 38 of that Act. [More…]
The recommendation was made in the light of an examination by that Committee of the experience of a similar body in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom experience with an administrative review council has been a successful one. [More…]
I refer to the Canadian, United Kingdom and New Zealand experiences. [More…]
From as early as the time of Edward III the United Kingdom Parliament freely exercised the function of tendering advice to the Crown upon matters the final determination of which lay with the Crown. [More…]
I think this is an indictment of the interpreters of the British law in the United Kingdom. [More…]
-The estimate in the United Kingdom is that nine out of ten do not report rape because of the vigorous cross-examination they must face by defence counsel in their desire to obtain acquittals for their clients. [More…]
It ought to be realised that the largest factor in the United Kingdom in relation to invisible earnings is insurance. [More…]
Foreign control was highest by the United Kingdom at 31.6 per cent. [More…]
Two-thirds of the foreign ownership is United Kingdom ownership. [More…]
The experience of nationalised industries in the United Kingdom has been that such industries are never allowed to run at a profit, whether they operate under the Labor government or the Conservative government. [More…]
Canada, France, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States all provide crop insurance. [More…]
In the case of Japan, South Africa and the United Kingdom, it is provided on a private basis. [More…]
It so happens that from the point of view of the churches, the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Commission- that is, the Archbishop of the Church of England in the United Kingdom- said in 1966 that marriage should be dissolved if it has irretrievably broken down. [More…]
That proposition was rejected by the Law Commission in the United Kingdom and it introduced 4 grounds of proof or 4 causes, providing that if they were effectively proved, they would be sufficient grounds on which a divorce decree should be made- adultery, intolerable conduct, desertion for 2 years or separation for 2 years with consent, and irretrievable breakdown. [More…]
The real effect of this law before us is to make divorce easier and I ask honourable members to look at the figures for the United Kingdom and the United States of America where provisions such as those proposed in clause 48 apply. [More…]
The origin of the words marriage is a union of a man and a woman voluntarily entered into for life and can be found in an interpretation of the Divorce Act 1865 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Whitiam Government is trying to achieve an electoral system that will keep it in office, similar to the situation that now exists in the United Kingdom where the Labor Party is holding office with 39.5 per cent of the votes, with 6 1 per cent of the votes against it. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party is now trying to bring about a system that exists perhaps in the United Kingdom whereby the Labour Party is polling a little over 30 per cent of the vote and is in power with a very substantial majority. [More…]
like the United Kingdom and the United States of America, has been brought up with a history of obedience and respect for the rule of the law, and a healthy dislike of arbitrary power. [More…]
It has gone through a period when overseas markets have been changing, when previous opportunities of access to the United Kingdom market have been prejudiced by arrangements entered into by the United Kingdom through its tie with the European Economic Community. [More…]
The result of the application of the Common Agricultural Policy has been not only to prejudice our external markets other than United Kingdom but also to prejudice our continuing ability to sell Australian dairy products in the United Kingdom itself. [More…]
Orders were cancelled from Japan, the United Kingdom and the European Economic Community and there was the likelihood as a result of that Cabinet decision that no wool would be sold commercially between now and the end of June with the Corporation having to pick up the half-million bales that would have been offered. [More…]
I have followed how, on behalf of the Committee and with the Secretary of the Committee, he visited many overseas countries, particularly Canada, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, before the Scott Committee report was brought down. [More…]
It is notable that similar commissions in the United Kingdom and Canada have to pay tax. [More…]
Yet, I have been unable to find that the United Kingdom, the United States of America or Canada has one commission which does all the purchasing. [More…]
On the question of inflation, the United Kingdom has an inflation rate of 21.7 per cent. [More…]
The circumstances facing the Australian dairy industry are now very different since the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community in February 1973. [More…]
Prior to this the United Kingdom was the principal market for the disposal of surplus Austraiian dairy production. [More…]
Currently the Board has this power for the United Kingdom and by voluntary industry arrangement for cheese to Japan. [More…]
The latest statistics show that only the United Kingdom with an inflation rate of 19.8 per cent is ahead of Australia. [More…]
The Government is convinced that a comprehensive national approach to telecommunications services is essential as in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, West Germany, Sweden and France where the internal and external telecommunications services are under the control of single Government authorities. [More…]
Rather than pointing to what are alleged to be increasing delays in obtaining public ward beds in the United Kingdom, Mr Lewis should be looking to the case in Queensland where, as a result of a State Labor Government’s initiative more than 30 years ago, we have had continuously available to all who wish to use them free public wards, free of means tests. [More…]
The Race Relations Board of the United Kingdom has such a power. [More…]
The effectiveness of the Race Relations Board of the United Kingdom is widely recognised as being impeded by the absence of these powers and their absence in the United Kingdom permits the Board’s attempts at conciliation to be virtually ignored. [More…]
The Minister referred to the experience of the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The problems of racial discrimination and racial tensions in the United Kingdom are vastly different from problems of the same nature in Australia. [More…]
I have authorised him to make informal inquiries when he is in the United Kingdom in the hope that perhaps we may be able to attract additional recruits to the Office of Parliamentary Counsel here in Australia. [More…]
In the United Kingdom and the United States there are similar schemes. [More…]
The Government is convinced that a comprehensive national approach to telecommunications services is essential, as in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, West Germany, Sweden and France where the internal and external telecommunications services are under the control of single Government authorities. [More…]
Such a visit not only would offend the United Kingdom Government but also would sow discord amongst Catholics and Protestants in Australia, just as the PLO visits sow disruption amongst our harmonious Arab and Jewish citizens. [More…]
The circumstances facing the Australian dairy industry are very different since the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
Prior to that the United Kingdom was the principal market for the disposal of Australia’s dairy products. [More…]
The entry of the United Kingdom into the EEC upset the whole structure of our marketing. [More…]
The recent United Kingdom Budget, by significantly reducing consumer subsidies, particularly for dairy products from f 600m to f 450m- in Australia these would be called producer subsidies- will increase these pressures because one of the things that the subsidy system did in the United Kingdom was to increase the uptake of dairy products, particularly butter and cheese. [More…]
The United Kingdom legislated for an ombudsman in 1967. [More…]
In fact, he was consulted by both Canada and the United Kingdom with regard to the role of ombudsman. [More…]
I am not certain that this Parliament should not give some consideration to the procedure that is adopted in the United Kingdom where the House has ordered that there be a select committee to examine the reports of the parliamentary commissioner for administration. [More…]
Other countries that have adopted the ombudsman system include New Zealand in 1962 and the United Kingdom in 1967, both countries having been mentioned in the Attorney-General’s second reading speech. [More…]
The Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration in the United Kingdom, generally referred to by the British public and the Press as the ombudsman, differs from his counterparts in New Zealand and elsewhere in that he investigates only complaints referred to him by members of the House of Commons, whereas all other ombudsmen deal directly with complaints. [More…]
The report of the adminstrative review committee referred to earlier dealt in chapter 7 with overseas systems of administrative law with particular reference to the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
In general, food additive protocols contain toxicological data derived from studies carried out in the United States of America or the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, duplication of research is avoided wherever possible, and attention is focused particularly on related studies in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
We also are aware of individual borrowings of US$1 billion or more by the United Kingdom, Japan and France. [More…]
This firm has been for many years the legal advisers in the United Kingdom to the Australian Government. [More…]
These investable funds were largely directed towards the United States, Euro-currency markets, and the United Kingdom, but a very significant proportion- in excess of 20 per centwas available to other borrowers, including the Australian Government if we were interested. [More…]
Not only have leading international borrowers such as the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy and Denmark arranged large governmenttogovernment loans on a bilateral basis, amounting to $6.3 billion in the second half of 1974 alone; an increasing number of other borrowers both corporate and governmental have tapped Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) sources of funds. [More…]
What action has been taken by his Department to obtain monetary rebates from the United Kingdom makers of Intal, Lyndiol and Ovostat as recommended by the Joint Committee on Prices. [More…]
The Parliament - that is the House of Representatives and the Senate- requests and consents to the enactment by the Parliament of the United Kingdom of an Act in, or substantially in, the terms set out in the Schedule. [More…]
We know that the States still hold that view very strongly, because in 1973 I think four- certainly three- of the Premiers went to the United Kingdom to petition the Queen, the Prime Minister and other Ministers in the United Kingdom not to pass any legislation of this request nature. [More…]
The Privy Council of the United Kingdom and of the Commonwealth should rule on appeals from New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, often perhaps in different ways, when that body and the United Kingdom are obsessed with their own concerns. [More…]
The United Kingdom has been going ever increasingly into Europe as its entry into the European Economic Community and similar developments of that sort prove. [More…]
The reason they succeeded is not unrelated to the matter about which I am talking because a United Kingdom treaty of 1908 may have been held to be not applicable to Australia in 1975. [More…]
It seems very strange to me and, I am sure, to all members of the Opposition that a government that is so intent on breaking what the Attorney-General’s predecessor described as ‘those vestigial legal links between Australia and the United Kingdom’ should resort to one of the most vestigial of all those links to bring about the purposes contained in this Bill. [More…]
The purpose of the Statute of Westminster was to make it clear beyond all doubt that the laws of the United Kingdom Parliament would not apply to the dominions of the British Commonwealth unless the Parliaments of those countries expressly requested that those laws so apply and consented to their applying. [More…]
It is to remind the Aus.tralian people that unnecessary colonial links still exist between Australia and the United Kingdom; it is not to remove it. [More…]
We believe that it could prejudice relations between this country and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Why should we involve the United Kingdom Parliament in a domestic Australian dispute? [More…]
For the first time since the Statute of Westminster was passed in 1931 we run the risk of involving the United Kingdom Parliament in a domestic Australian legal matter. [More…]
All that can be said at this point is that the application for extradition has been refused by the judge of first instance and that one of the grounds is the non-application to Australia of the 1908 treaty between Paraguay and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Can anybody imagine company A involved in a takeover procedure with company B, in the Unites States of America, United Kingdom, Germany, France or wherever it might be, if the amount involved exceeds $3m wanting to come to the Australian Treasurer and to the Overseas Takeover Committee and asking whether because their assets, which are probably a very small part of the total corporate conglomerate existing in Australia exceed the prescribed amount, the takeover is permissible? [More…]
In registering parties and printing political affiliations on ballot papers we are joining the following countries: Argentina, Austria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Denmark, Gambia, West Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
Contrast the performance and attitudes of the Opposition in this place with the Opposition in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Opposition and Government parties in the United Kingdom have their philosophical differences. [More…]
But there the Opposition team together with the Government of the United Kingdom has accepted the need for a greater effort on the part of the Opposition and of the Government and of the people in attacking the problem of inflation. [More…]
By the first quarter of this year, industrial production had fallen from its last peak by some 20 per cent in Japan, 10-15 per cent in the United States, Germany, France and Italy, and 5 percent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It was 6 per cent in the United States of America and 5.9 per cent in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It was 8.6 per cent in the United Kingdom, 6.6 per cent in New Zealand and 5.9 per cent in the United States of America. [More…]
By contrast, the features of our present predicament are: Small, even non-existent, growth of 0.4 per cent last year; inflation between 1 6 and 17 per cent and likely to grow in a year rather than to fall as it is doing in the United States of America, West Germany, Japan and Canada, our main trading partners- even now there are some prospects, with trade union co-operation, in the United Kingdom of inflation coming down below 25 per cent; unemployment of an unacceptable kind; and growth in seasonal terms of 0.4 per cent. [More…]
There are only 2 countries in the world in which inflation is still holding, namely, the United Kingdom and Australia. [More…]
In fact Denmark, the United States of America, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom- I could go on and on- all have similar problems. [More…]
Where facts are available, it will be seen that the United Kingdom, Italy, Belgium and France have a problem relating to unemployment, just as Australia has. [More…]
The Agreement of Cooperation was signed in June last year between the United States and the United Kingdom to exchange information involving the whole range of coal technology. [More…]
The National Coal Board in the United Kingdom announced its ambitious coal conversion research program, the largest in its history. [More…]
Sir Alex was appointed High Commissioner to the United Kingdom on a salary of 7,209 per annum. [More…]
The late Right Honourable Sir Eric Harrison, commonly referred to in his time here as the Bondi miner, was appointed High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Our biggest trade, as everybody knows, is with Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Common Market countries and New Zealand, which I almost forgot. [More…]
At least I could say to them that Australia traditionally has bought these things from America or the United Kingdom. [More…]
What were the 5 preparations in the 50 highest expenditure benefit items for 1973-74, referred to in part (b) of bis answer, where Australian prices were more than double the United Kingdom price. [More…]
I am not in favour of too great a proliferation of committees, but some way must clearly be found for a closer and more detailed examination of proposed national expenditure, perhaps along the lines followed in the United Kingdom and in Canada. [More…]
I suggest that if the Constitution had been drawn up about 12 or 15 years later than it was the situation we have at the moment would not have occurred, because about 1910 or 1911 after a constitutional crisis in the United Kingdom the House of Lords had the power to refuse money taken away from it- or it agreed by virtue of the circumstances that it could not refuse money to the Parliament. [More…]
The principal markets in the past have been the United States of America, Japan, Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
These potatoes have been imported from Canada, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and America. [More…]
I understand the United Kingdom is already obtaining something like 17 per cent of its power from nuclear sources. [More…]
In Europe and the United Kingdom people pay anything between $A1.30 to $A1.50 for one gallon of petrol and yet here in Australia despite the fact that the Governmentwhether the previous Government or this Government- has desired to take a bigger slice, a bigger percentage, the price per gallon is almost half that paid in European countries. [More…]
The honourable member for Petrie can try to find, if he likes, some great international conspiracy in which the Department of Labor in the United States, the Government of the United Kingdom and most governments of Western Europe are all engaged to mislead their respective parliaments [More…]
Dennis Healey, the United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer, said: [More…]
I have seen family day care schemes operating in the United Kingdom. [More…]
As a matter of fact my own grandchild is looked after in family day care in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Members of the National Country Party ought to be consistent about the situation because it is quite clear that the markets that were available, particularly in the United Kingdom and in the European Economic Community, no longer exist. [More…]
Instead of giving what I think most Australians would regard as mature advice- the advice consonant with Australia’s independent status in 1975- successive Attorneys-General of this country have advised the Federal Government that it should invoke the terms of a 1931 statute of the Imperial Parliament which represents perhaps the most prestigious of all the legal links between Australia and the United Kingdom, links which my honourable friend’s predecessor was so ready to refer to in contemptuous terms. [More…]
He went to the United Kingdom, to parts of western Europe, to the United States of America and to Canada. [More…]
It is clear that the result of the next election will decide whether Australia remains a genuine free enterprise economy in which the interests of each person is advanced or moves irretrievably towards the precipice of government control now faced by the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, where the distribution of population is much more regular than it is in this country, the Labor Government there recognised that it is reasonable to have a variation in the size of electorates to allow for density and sparsity of population. [More…]
Even in the United Kingdom to this day there is not the concept of one vote one value under the straggling Wilson Government. [More…]
‘By the first quarter of this year, industrial production had fallen from its last peak by some 20 per cent m Japan, 10-15 per cent in the United States, Germany, France and Italy, and 5 per cent in the United Kingdom’. [More…]
Part II of the Act deals with crewing matters and, until recently, was in line with similar provisions in the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act, with both laws applied to a visiting British ship whilst in Australia. [More…]
The United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act has been very substantially changed and it would create technical problems for the master and crew of a ship and the staffs of Mercantile Marine Offices, who administer the relevant provisions of the Act, if the Australian law were to continue to apply to such vessels. [More…]
The present anomaly dates from 1973, when the relevant United Kingdom legislation came into force. [More…]
Although this Convention came into force internationally in 1968, the law in Australia, in relation to the limitation of shipowners’ liability, is still the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Acts of 1894 and 1900. [More…]
In giving effect to this Convention Australia, like the United Kingdom and a number of the European shipping countries, will exercise the option provided for in the Protocol of Signature to exclude the application of sub-paragraph (c) of paragraph ( 1) of article 1 of the Convention. [More…]
A drop has taken place also in the number of visitors to Australia from the United Kingdom and other European countries. [More…]
Other major contributors to the project, by the way, are New Zealand, the United Kingdom and a voluntary organisation based in Ireland. [More…]

such taxation has nevertheless been applied in the past in Australia and until very recently in the United Kingdom and is applied currently in Germany and Sweden. [More…]
The occupational levels are in agreement with those set in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
When answering questions in the House yesterday was he aware of and what credence did he place upon the facts that a former Deputy Commissioner for Taxation was a member of the Mathews Committee, which was chosen by the Labor Party, and that he was an officer of great competency and integrity; that one of the members of the technically authoritative Sandilands Committee in the United Kingdom, which completely endorsed the relevant parts of the Mathews Committee report, was a very senior member of the present Inland Revenue Depart; and that the Mathews Committee report itself analyses and answers, particularly in the appendices, each of the statements in the Taxation Paper? [More…]
Sixty such shop front centres operate successfully in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The scientific and legal standards of fair market practices are, as the honourable member for Bennelong (Mr Howard) said, clearly and closely associated with each other as they are in the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is a considerable amount of integration, certainly more than in the United States. [More…]
In passing I might add that a Press Council, a voluntary organisation of newspaper proprietors, has been operating successfully in the United Kingdom for some years, without interference from the government and controlled by the people who own the media. [More…]
In all cases not provided for hereinafter, or by sessional or other orders or practices of the House, resort shall be had to the practice of the Commons House of the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in force for the time being, which shall be followed as far as it can be applied. [More…]
They worked on the Constitution for a considerable number of years before it was finally carried as an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament and became the Constitution of this country. [More…]
For example, in the United Kingdom for the financial year 1969-70 the total cost of legal aid was Stg8, 17 1,000. [More…]
In a first past the post system, the voter simply expresses a choice for one candidate possibly, as in the United Kingdom, by placing a cross against a candidate’s name on the ballot paper. [More…]
The Minister for Administrative Services (Mr Daly) in introducing this Bill nominated 25 countries ranging from Austria to the United States, from Canada through to the South American countries, most of Western Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, South Korea and Luxemburg. [More…]
It has long been recognised that Australia is heavily reliant on overseas trained personnel, especially from the United Kingdom. [More…]
This Bill also contains provisions which amend Part II of the Navigation Act 1912-73 in so far as it is inconsistent with the provisions contained in the Merchant Shipping Act 1970 passed by the United Kingdom Parliament. [More…]
Formerly the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act was identical in the respect of crewing matters for visiting British ships with the provisions contained in Part II of the Australian Navigation Act 1912-73. [More…]
At that meeting of the Law Society in 1960 it was resolved that the Law Society should support a scheme of legal aid broadly based upon that which operated in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There has been a complaint, I believe, by the United States Government to the United Kingdom Government against this increase, once again alleging discrimination. [More…]
The Australian Constitution was the product of the British Parliament, the Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in 1 900. [More…]
Above all it must be able to do something which would ensure indexation of stocks as recommended in the Mathews Committee report- something that is already done in the United Kingdom and is roughly proportional in cost to what that would have to be borne in Australia if the Mathews Committee recommendations were adopted. [More…]
I refer to the misleading answer he recently gave in this House that the Sandilands Committee in the United Kingdom had not reported that current cost accounting should be introduced quickly. [More…]
Has the Treasurer woken up to the fact that already the United Kingdom Government has taken action to assist overcoming the 2 relevant problems mentioned in the Mathews report and that the cost to the United Kingdom revenue was proportionately of the same order as it would be in Australia if the Mathews Committee’s report had been adopted? [More…]
The Sandilands Committee which recently reported on this matter in the United Kingdom is wholly consistent with the recommendations of the Mathews Committee in Australia. [More…]
He described the principle of responsible government in these terms: ‘The principle which prevails in the United Kingdom . [More…]
Programs are currently being undertaken in the United Kingdom concerning securities which are available to aged people and which are indexed to take account of inflation. [More…]

In the United Kingdom the leaking of Budget information has entailed the most serious of consequences whenever it has occurred. [More…]
When it suits members of the Opposition they resort to examples of precedent from the United Kingdom. [More…]
1 ) Are United Kingdom qualified nurses accepted in all States of Australia, or are there some States which do not recognise British standards. [More…]
1 ) and (2) United Kingdom qualified nurses are accepted in all States and Territories of Australia provided that the program of nurse training that they have undertaken in the [More…]
United Kingdom is equivalent to the program of nurse training which leads to registration in the professional area in which they seek recognition. [More…]
There are some nurse training programs in the United Kingdom which have no equivalent in Australia. [More…]
Applications by nurses from the United Kingdom are assessed on an individual basis by each registration board. [More…]
The proposal goes much further than the register which has been established in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The position in Australia is quite different from the position in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the confidence of the House of Commons alone is necessary. [More…]
But both here and in the United Kingdom the duty of the Prime Minister is the same in a most important respect- if he cannot get Supply he must resign or advise an election. [More…]
This decision has been reached following months of negotiation between United Kingdom and Australian officials. [More…]
There are not many places in the Constitution where the Governor has any powers as such, but again those powers, unless they are to be potential tyranny, surely are meant to be exercised in the sense of ‘Governor-in-Council’, not the Governor as a paramount chief or trying to take to himself in 1976 powers that were discarded by the Crown in the United Kingdom almost 200 years ago. [More…]
Keynesianism, the United Kingdom and under a Labour government, the futility of piling on new deficits in order to soak up the unemployment created by the interminable succession of previous deficits is at long last being discerned as unemployment moves towards the 1.5 million mark and well over half the economy is now in the Government sector. [More…]
She could not have taken similar action in the United Kingdom and I am sure that she would not have endorsed such action being taken in Australia had she known of it. [More…]
If honourable members consider the rate of government expenditure in relation to gross domestic products they will find that in our Government ‘s last Budget it was 32.2 per cent; in the United Kingdom it was 55 per cent; in France it was 41.9 per cent; in the U.S. A. it was 33 per cent; and in Germany it was 3 1 .7 per cent. [More…]
Not one constitutional authority who has ever written on the subject would not conclude that in ultimate terms there is a reserve power of the Crown available and, I say to my honourable friend, available in the United Kingdom as it is here in Australia. [More…]
This country is best served by building alliances with proven and trusted allies, with friends like the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
What comes out over and over again in that proposition as it was to be applied to the United Kingdom and as it has been subsequently applied to Australia, is that it is impossible to have full employment with freedom in a society unless there is a confidently expanding private enterprise sector. [More…]
No doubt believing that if one repeats something often enough the people will believe it, he kept referring to the House of Representatives as the people’s house as if the Senate was in some way an appointed chamber just as is the House of Lords in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the very home of Keynesianism, which country is presently under a Labour administration, the futility of piling on new deficits in order to reduce the unemployment created by the succession of previous deficits is belatedly being discerned. [More…]
The same thing happened in Japan, in West Germany and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am ashamed to see in Australia today the situation which now exists in which Parliament itself has been diminished and downgraded and in which the Governor-General, the viceroy, the direct representative of the Queen whom we share with the United Kingdom, has himself participated in politics. [More…]
The capital component of Australian public expenditure is also easily the highest in the Western world-about 33 per cent, compared with 21 per cent in the United Kingdom, 20 per cent in France and 1 9 per cent in Canada. [More…]
It is characteristic of the Leader of the Opposition to denigrate products from the United Kingdom and to praise those that come from other places. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the home of Keynesianism, and under a Labour Government, the futility of piling on new deficits in order to reduce the unemployment created by the succession of previous deficits is finally being understood. [More…]
I am sick and tired of hearing the misuse of what President Ford said in the United States of America, what Harold Wilson said in the United Kingdom and what Pierre Trudeau said in Canada. [More…]
Japan is Australia’s largest export market and our third largest source of imports after the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
They have the same social problems, and their new generations have much the same outlook, as the generations in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States and elsewhere. [More…]
It is a marvellous thing, as is anticipated in this book, that in the not too distant future people will be able to telephone the United Kingdom, the United States of America and other countries by means of subscriber trunk dialling. [More…]
It studied committee operations in both Canada and the United Kingdom, which have parliaments which we would look on as being comparable to our own. [More…]
These artists want to be able to appear on radio, television and the stage in the United Kingdom, the United States or wherever their country of origin may be. [More…]
The agreement is, in all important substantial matters, along the lines of Australia’s other modern double taxation agreements with the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Japan and West Germany. [More…]
As the Treasurer (Mr Lynch) has said, we already have modern double tax agreements with the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Japan and West Germany. [More…]
There is little doubt that the agreements with the United Kingdom, Japan and West Germany- I exclude New Zealand from this- and now this agreement with the Netherlands, are very much for the benefit of investors in those other countries at the expense of tax revenue being received into the Australian Treasury. [More…]
Australian canned fruit has suffered price reductions in the United Kingdom market and freight and market costs will diminish returns this year. [More…]
Four million cartons went to the United Kingdom alone at very profitable prices. [More…]
Then in the early 1970s, for a variety of reasons, they dropped from about 4 million cartons a year to the United Kingdom to 2!6 million cartons. [More…]
With the contraction of the United Kingdom market the previous Liberal-Country Party Government in 1971-72 introduced a treepull scheme. [More…]
Exports were down to about 4 million cartons, of which the United Kingdom took about 2 million, or a little over 2 million. [More…]
These devaluations have occurred between ourselves and the United Kingdom, between South Africa and the United Kingdom and between ourselves and South Africa. [More…]
As a result, in a little over 3 years the price at which South Africa could sell fruit on the United Kingdom market dropped in relation to our price by over 30 per cent. [More…]
It is out of date because of the South African devaluation in relation to the United Kingdom in September and the United Kingdom devaluation in the last couple of weeks. [More…]
Before these things happened fruit industry people were estimating that it was possible stall to export a million cartons of fruit to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Now there is no market in the United Kingdom which provides a profitable return for Australian canned fruit exports. [More…]
In approximately five to six years our market in the United Kingdom has dropped from 4 million cartons to no market. [More…]
In view of the Minister’s announcement that he wishes to see an increased level of migration from the United Kingdom, does he contemplate an early relaxation of the strict criteria of eligibility now preventing many who want to migrate to Australia from doing so? [More…]
Without such a relaxation, how does the Minister hope to increase migration to Australia from the United Kingdom? [More…]
I wish to reverse that attitude of thought amongst potential migrants from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
I believe an antiBritish feeling was developed and this was reflected in the attitude of potential migrants from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
I point out to the House that a high proportion of our skilled migrants come from the United Kingdom. [More…]
What I am seeking to do is to engender a positive attitude amongst potential migrants from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
Under the Act it is an offence punishable by gaol sentence to promote feelings of ill-will or hostilities between different classes of Her Majesty’s subjects or to incite dissatisfaction with the governments of Australia and- incredible as it may seem- of the United Kingdom! [More…]
This is done in the United Kingdom but there most families pay less tax than they would had the spouses been taxed separately because the rebates available to those taxed separately on the family unit are not otherwise available. [More…]
Look at the United Kingdom and the Labour Party there. [More…]
Double-year citations are not used in Canada, New Zealand or South Africa and are not generally used in the United Kingdom. [More…]

An allowance of SA60 is paid to pensioners in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Government already is taking 60 per cent of the nation’s output. [More…]
It has set up agencies in all of the major trading countriesin the United Kingdom, in Belgium, in the Netherlands, West Germany, Portugal, Japan and Singapore. [More…]
Support should be confined to sales ‘at risk’ to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
Support would be confined to ‘at risk’ sales to Europe, including the United Kingdom, and North America, whereas under previous stabilisation arrangements all pears exported on an ‘at risk’ basis were covered by stabilisation support. [More…]
United Kingdom/Europe market. [More…]
In 1976, similar supplementary proposals have been made to State governments by the Commonwealth Government for a support program covering apples exported on an ‘at risk’ basis to the United Kingdom/Europe market in 1976. [More…]
The export sector, particularly of the apple industry, has traditionally been oriented towards the United Kingdom /Europe market. [More…]
Accordingly, the special export assistance to which I referred, covering a further quantity of apples to the United Kingdom/Europe market beyond the 2 million boxes supported by the stabilisation scheme, has been submitted to State governments with my strong recommendation for their support. [More…]
Canada, United Kingdom, United States of America- have adjustment schemes, some directly related to the auto industries. [More…]
I cite in this connection a case reported in Australian Senate Practice which involved an action brought against a member of the United Kingdom House of Commons in 1970 by the Church of Scientology. [More…]
I will not restrict my remarks merely to the amendments that we are putting forward today because the dialogue and the debate on electoral laws is going on all round the world and this Parliament ought to be aware of the views that are being put forward in all the other parliaments- in the Congress of the United States of America, in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom and in the parliaments of Sweden, Finland and Norway. [More…]
That compares with only 9 per cent of Australian born workers, 14 per cent of women born in the United Kingdom and Eire and 20 per cent of women born in the Netherlands or Germany. [More…]
We do not want so many decisions affecting the lives of Australians made in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan or anywhere else outside Australia. [More…]
I would think that the United States investment now in Australia is probably as great as the United Kingdom investment. [More…]
The United Kingdom investment began a long while earlier, mainly for historical and traditional reasons, but the relatively fast grower in recent years has been the American companies that are domiciled in Australia. [More…]
There has been much discussion in the United Kingdom on the question of whether it should continue with the non-textual amendment or the textual amendment. [More…]
I notice that in relation to the problems in the United Kingdom there are real difficulties. [More…]
First Parliamentary Counsel - this is in the United Kingdom- estimates that in the whole Statute Book there may be not less than 8000 pages of legislation needing to be consolidated. [More…]
To that extent Australia is ahead of the situation that it is hoped can be applied generously in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is significant that the single citation is used in many other countries similar to ours, namely Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and, basically, the United Kingdom. [More…]
In this context, I am advised that the provisions of the Insurance Companies Act 1974 of the United Kingdom dealing with the competency of the directors have recently been the subject of significant controversy in that country. [More…]
As a result of my insistence this Parliament sent a group of members of Parliament to the United Kingdom House of Commons and the Canadian House of Commons to see how expenditure committees worked in what I would think are comparable parliaments. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government produces an annual White Paper which is available to its Expenditure Committee. [More…]
The United Kingdom Expenditure Committee has not, I think we must face it, been entirely successful. [More…]
It has been said that the United Kingdom committee has not altogether succeeded, but that is not a reason why we should not seek greater success or at least achieve as much as that committee has achieved. [More…]
We have the advantage of being able to look at the progress of the United Kingdom Committee and its history in relation to its examination of the implementation of specific policies by governments in the House of Commons. [More…]
This is in the United Kingdom- and would keep under examination the projections of public expenditure made available to the House. [More…]
Irrespective of the fact that during our inquiries overseas, especially in relation to the United Kingdom House of Commons Expenditure Committee, we found that expenditure committees are not effective- earlier speakers have remarked on that- the Prime Minister is youthfully obsessed with forming an expenditure committee. [More…]
The Prime Minister has referred to the expenditure committees of the United Kingdom as being effective. [More…]
The view that manufacturing is a declining activity has reference perhaps to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The shrinking, shrunken, productive sector, industrial base, in the United Kingdom is well known and so are its consequences- a static or barely rising standard of living, chronic high inflation, a chronic balance of payments deficit. [More…]
That shrinking industrial base in the United Kingdom is a very real thing and a warning to others. [More…]
A specialist in industrial economies from Sydney University, Mr T. Parry, has produced an index of price ratios over major chemical products, taking Australia’s position relative to the position of the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
I mention also the United Kingdom to which we hope to export more beef. [More…]
I am advised that the United Kingdom does not play God Save the Queen on such occasions because there are 3 kingdoms that make up the United Kingdom- England, Scotland and Wales- and they all play their own national songs during the Olympic Games. [More…]
Queensland governments in providing special assistance to growers exporting at risk to the United Kingdom and other European markets in the 1974 season. [More…]
The apple and pear industry is yet another industry that was founded along traditional lines to supply the markets of the United Kingdom and can be coupled with other industries which are causing a great deal of concern in Australia today such as the canned fruit industry, the dried fruit industry, the dairy industry and, to lesser degrees, other industries. [More…]
The reason for this legislation today is that no longer have we the traditional market tie-up with the United Kingdom that we had. [More…]
It recommended that support should be confined to sales at risk to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
Between 1971 and 1975 the average yearly rate of increase in freight costs to the United Kingdom was 16.4 per cent, which is substantially above the average level of inflation in Australia in those years. [More…]
By 1 974 freight costs represented just over 50 per cent of the average market value of apples sold in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The base freight rate for apples sent to the United Kingdom and Europe with the main group of owners of conventional ships in 1975 was $4.43 a carton. [More…]
I believe that the industry could give very serious consideration to regional reconstruction, in light of the fact that the Europe and United Kingdom trade is diminishing and this will present further serious problems. [More…]
The United Kingdom is putting up a magnificent performance to restrain wages and public expenditure but so far is getting nowhere. [More…]
Has the Minister also been informed that the British Government’s expectation is that this would halve the inflation rate in the United Kingdom in 1977 and would bring the rate down to about 10 per cent? [More…]
I have noticed recent reports in the Press and elsewhere relating to the recent agreement which has been reached in the United Kingdom on the question of wage increases in line with the figures that the right honourable gentleman has given. [More…]
If honourable members want examples of how this is happening they should consider the situation in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
In fact, parliamentary democracy has survived in circumstances of conflict, where in the United Kingdom a king had his head chopped off and in the United States of America, as it became on the North American continent, colonists were prepared to rise in rebellion and establish themselves as people prepared to operate the parliamentary system as they saw it. [More…]
The Marquess of Rockingham was the first Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to undertake in government the promises he had made when in Opposition. [More…]
All the major overseas countries, including the United Kingdom and Sweden, are concerned with the dumping that is taking place. [More…]
It has taken away a lot of work from the United Kingdom and Sweden, which is another highly sophisticated shipbuilding country and which is highly capital intensive rather than labour intensive. [More…]
Can he say whether the United Kingdom code includes a section voluntarily excluding advertisements of spirits from television. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the voluntary body governing television and radio advertising is the Independent Television Companies Association. [More…]
1 ) As far as can be ascertained- U.S.A., Canada, West Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Italy, Austria, France and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The following information in respect of Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the U.S.A. indicates relevant developments in English-speaking countries since 1972. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is a staff of something like 7 SO assisting parliamentary committees when matters arise relating to audit styles or to approaches to means of controlling or examining public finance in general terms. [More…]
The alternative would have undoubtedly been at the cost of massive industrial disruption as occurred in a number of countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America when containers were introduced. [More…]
The essential overall economic objectives of the Government are: to reduce Australia’s high and stubborn inflation rate which is second only to the United Kingdom on an international comparison of 10 comparable industrial countries and, by that and other means to foster sound and lasting economic recovery and to restore full employment and economic growth. [More…]
If they are not reinvesting in industry in their countries of origin, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Western Germany or Japan, they certainly will not do so in this country. [More…]
In the case of the particular woman concerned, as soon as my department heard of the situation it cabled authority to the Australian authorities in the United Kingdom to allow that endorsement to be placed in the woman’s passport. [More…]
Is he also aware that the United States Government, European governments, and only just recently the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, have all given an assurance that they will personally investigate this matter and do something about it? [More…]
In the Army the ratio was 1: 6.5 as against the United States 1: 6.4- a quite favourable comparison- or Canada which was 1: 8.4; or the United Kingdom 1: 8.3. [More…]
I remind the House that that view may be taken by some economists- I think Professor Wheelwright was mentioned- but it is not a view that is taken by any central banker or Treasury official of any of the countries in the Western World with comparable economies to whom I have spoken in the last few years; and that includes those from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Belgium. [More…]
This fiscal package which is put forward as part of what is necessary for economic recovery in Australia is similar to packages recently put in the United States and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Looking at the state of the United Kingdom economy at present-rit is under a British Labour Party- it is strange that we do not seem to hear that argument today. [More…]
In the United States of America and in the United Kingdom, where attempts have been made to get trade union co-operation, the governments have gone out of their way to make big tax cuts and have tried to give the unions something to hang on to. [More…]
-The Minister for the Capital Territory interjected: ‘What about in the United Kingdom?’ [More…]
If he were to study what is going on in the United Kingdom he would find out that the United Kingdom is merely looking very far ahead at forward estimates and has not in any way cut its level of government spending in the way that is being done here. [More…]
When a comparison is made with the Hansard facilities available in the United Kingdom House of Commons and the Canadian House of Commons it is realised that the facilities available to Hansard here are substantially deficient. [More…]
One has only to reflect on what went on in the United Kingdom after the First World War to find evidence of that sort of exercise. [More…]
I wish to make only one last point about the Government’s immigration program and that is to draw attention to the impression that the new Minister has given that he is intent on returning to the traditional sources of migrants for this country, in other words the United Kingdom. [More…]
Dr Jim Lawson addressed the Australian Hospital Association Congress in 1 969-1 think it was held in Melbourne- and discussed operation rates per thousand members per year for fee for service and salaried medical services and compared these operation rates in Australia, the United Kingdom and United States of America. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it was 3.6 in the case of salaried doctors. [More…]
only 1.4 and in the United Kingdom on a salaried basis it was 2.5. [More…]
On a fee for service basis the rate in Australia was 2 per 1000 and in the United Kingdom on a salaried basis it was 1 per 1000. [More…]
I believe that the United Kingdom already indicated that it is prepared to provide a sum of money, as has Canada, and that other members of the Commonwealth have indicated their willingness to contribute a particular amount or are giving consideration to it, but through a Commonwealth multi-lateral body. [More…]
He will also visit migration centres in the United Kingdom and Europe and represent the Government at independence celebrations in the Seychelles. [More…]
If honourable members look at our other main trading partners with the exception of United Kingdom, which is now starting to show signs of real revival and change, it will been seen that most of them expect a growth rate of 4% per cent in their next financial year and inflation down to less than 10 per cent. [More…]
In the first half of 1975 the West German Federal government cash position showed a deficit of DM 17 billion (30 per cent of receipts) … the United Kingdom the central government borrowing requirement reached 5.1 billion . [More…]
Unlike in other countries, such as the United Kingdom or the United States of America, the Government has no intention of offsetting reduced real wages by substantial and compensating tax cuts. [More…]
-In reply to my question yesterday to the Minister for Transport (Mr Nixon) he quoted a letter received by him from the Department of Environment in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The writer in the DepartmentI thought it was the United Kingdom Department but apparently it is our own- indicated that in the view of the Department only minor editorial changes would be made to the draft. [More…]
The fact that the United Kingdom and the United States of America required an environmental impact statement would confirm that our own legislation is not excessive on this score. [More…]
In the United Kingdom and, I think, the United States of America there were public hearings on the draft EIS, but for some reason Australia’s Ministers considered that we Australians are less intelligent and less interested than people in those countries and therefore decided that there was no need to call for a public hearing on Concorde in Australia. [More…]
I was going to say that it had not been received by the United Kingdom department; but, from what the Minister said, our department has not yet received it. [More…]
-The Australian dairy industry- comprising some 33 000 dairy farmers plus all those people involved in the processing and ancillary industries- like the canned fruit industry, the apple industry and the dried fruit industry, was founded largely on the traditional access to the United Kingdom market. [More…]
With the virtual loss of this market, due to the United Kingdom joining the European Economic Community and due to the somewhat selfish, inward looking trade barriers of the EEC, these industries are left with a high export component from their total production. [More…]
I have had the benefit of some discussion with those who are actively involved in the work of the merchant marine, and they have pointed out to me the great difference between the facilities in Australia and those in the United Kingdom, for example. [More…]
That large number of men was cateredfor by the multiplicity of schools that existed in the United Kingdom- schools such as those at Conway, Pangbourne and Southampton University. [More…]
I am advised that basically most of those responsible for merchant shipping in Australia would have come from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Candidates for certificates of competency in the United Kingdom are required to hold certain auxiliary qualifications such as radar simulator and gyro-compass maintenance certificates. [More…]

The United Kingdom ship has an 8 per cent smaller crew than the Australian ship. [More…]
Sixty per cent of the officers of the Australian National Line were trained in the United Kingdom but that source of supply is now drying up. [More…]
Are working visitors’ permits being issued in the United Kingdom? [More…]
The Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs is in the United Kingdom, I think, at the moment. [More…]
Whilst he is there I am sure he will rectify an impression created during the term of the previous Government that people from the United Kingdom were not as welcome as they might otherwise have been. [More…]
So far as I am aware no extra staff has been appointed and no special arrangements are being made in relation to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The position simply is that the Minister will, I imagine, indicate the willingness of the Australian Government to receive immigrants from the United Kingdom as from other countries. [More…]
In the ordinary course of events one can say, I believe, that those who come from the United Kingdom are, by dint of the content of the Australian population, likely to have those skills which are in demand under our present migration policy. [More…]
The canning fruit industry has welcomed the Minister’s announcement that the tree-pull scheme will be extended to the end of December and the means test eased so that the chronic over-supply situation caused by the rapidly disappearing United Kingdom market can be rectified. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition (Mr E. G. Whitlam) has stated as he did on another occasion I prohibited the use of Cockburn Sound and Jervis Bay by visiting warships from other countries, particularly those from the United States and from the United Kingdom. [More…]
It has never been refused in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Convention is not yet in force but the United Kingdom and the United States of America have also signed it and have announced their intentions to implement it and ratify it. [More…]
The United Kingdom followed in 1967. [More…]
Can he say how many visible surface warships or sighted submarines of (a) the United States of America, (b) the United Kingdom, (c) Iran and (d) France were in the Indian Ocean in each of the years 1971 to 1975 and to what categories of warships, e.g., cruiser, destroyer, submarine, minesweeper etc., do they belong. [More…]
Canada will give $C3m of food aid, the United Kingdom is committed to a 1 5m bilateral program, New Zealand will provide $NZ 120,000 of skim milk powder, and other countries have indicated they will be mounting bilateral programmes of assistance. [More…]
I should emphasise that they were brought down in this House only on the basis of the most detailed consultations with industry groups involved and the House will be very much aware that the Government took the opportunity to seek the return of Professor Mathews from the United Kingdom for direct discussions in relation to the implementation of this scheme. [More…]
That would have pre-empted any kind of progressive social reforms in other areas for years to come, as has happened in the United Kingdom and in other countries. [More…]
I took the opportunity to obtain some figures from the Parliamentary Library which show the per capita consumption of tobacco and tobacco products in the United States and the United Kingdom over the last 10 years. [More…]
In the United Kingdom in 1970 the per capita consumption was 2.55 kilograms and in 1974 it was 2.71 kilograms. [More…]
The Bill technically achieves this purpose by directly defining the term ‘royalties’ in the Income Tax Assessment Act instead of defining it by reference to a definition in the double taxation agreement with the United Kingdom. [More…]
This measure will remove any possible implication that the defined term applies only to payments made to residents of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Attorney-General (Mr Ellicott) in his second reading speech on the Crimes (Internationally Protected Persons) Bill has stated that the United States and the United Kingdom intend to ratify the Convention. [More…]
The Committee has studied some of the work of the House of Commons Expenditure Committee of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The terms of reference of our Committee draw heavily on those of the United Kingdom committee. [More…]
United States, Canada, Sweden and United Kingdom. [More…]
The Government also at the time took the unusual step, but the important step for reasons the honourable gentleman would understand, of bringing Professor Mathews back from the United Kingdom. [More…]
In 1973, Japan spent $500m, Spain spent $60m, Sweden spent $85m, Germany spent $100m, Norway spent $160m, the United Kingdom spent $50m and France spent between $400m and $500m to maintain their shipbuilding industries. [More…]
Of all the developed countries the United Kingdom has probably had problems very similar to our own and all the disastrous trends that we have experienced have been demonstrated in that nation. [More…]
-I would vote for the policies of the Government in the United Kingdom because it is trying to solve the same problems as we have in Australia. [More…]
We have not had to make the cuts in government expenditure that have had to be made in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom experience has shown the importance, I believe, of reining in government expenditure. [More…]
Wage indexation, as implemented by the Full Bench of the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, achieves in part the objectives agreed to by unions and government in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Honourable members should refer to the Mathews Committee report and to the Sondilands committee of inquiry in the United Kingdom which demonstrate those matters. [More…]
The Finer Report, the report of a community on one-parent families in the United Kingdom in July 1974 found that even at the level of disposing of everyday chores and despite the degree of merger between the traditional roles of male and female which has taken place in the last decade, many household tasks still tend to be allocated sexually. [More…]
We all know that when he was in the United Kingdom recently he said that he was more loved in Opposition than he had ever been in Government. [More…]
In 1 945 the United Kingdom said to the then dominions that a share of that prize money would be available for those who had served in the navies and in the air forces. [More…]
How is the health scheme going in the United Kingdom? [More…]
We do not have the population problems of, say, the United States, the United Kingdom, India and Japan. [More…]
The public sector was also the most expansionary influence in the United Kingdom and West Germany during the trough of the recession and during the recovery. [More…]
There is, however, one difference between the Australian Constitution and the United Kingdom convention. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Queen is bound by the advice of her Prime Minister; but in Australia the Governor-General is bound only by the advice of the Federal Executive Council. [More…]
In the United Kingdom to which the Minister referred there was an average increase for the 12 months of 4 1/2 per cent with a maximum of 4 per week. [More…]
The inflation rate in the United Kingdom is still above ours, regrettable though that is for both countries. [More…]
Even with the social wage allowances inherent within those upper limits that were imposed, which in itself is patchy in relation to the society in the United Kingdom, it will still mean a considerable reduction in actual real wages in the United Kingdom this year. [More…]
The point I want to make is this: Who introduced that wages policy in the United Kingdom? [More…]
So we have an interesting situation in the United Kingdom where something that will reduce the real living standards and wages of people more than is proposed in this document is put forward by a Labour Government and accepted by the trade union movement; yet we have these people here saying that this is a harsh policy, that it is union bashing. [More…]
This in itself is very moderate compared with the policy in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Minister has also pointed out that the social wage component in our policy of family allowances and with tax indexation the increase here is above that of the United Kingdom. [More…]
One has only to look at the United Kingdom to see this taking place now due to the policies that have been pursued in that country. [More…]
Yet, the honourable member for Murray brings into the House the proposition that we should turn to what is being done in this area in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the demand is very much related to the country’s exports, as the honourable member for Murray ought to know. [More…]
This has been a long-standing practice in Australia which is also followed by the U.S.A., Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
In favour (13): Benin, France, Guyana, Italy, Japan, the Libyan Arab Republic, Pakistan, Panama, Romania, Sweden, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United Republic of Tanzania. [More…]
When I was overseas recently I talked with various representatives of the mining houses in the United Kingdom and Germany. [More…]
United Kingdom where, notwithstanding emphatic warnings by governments over a period of years, the various factions blindly pursued their respective goals and that once great nation was brought to its knees. [More…]
It must be conceded that labour, the unions in the United Kingdom, did not arrive at that attitude without considerable trauma. [More…]
The United Kingdom trade unionists are regarded as the great traditionalists of the trade union movement. [More…]
It must convey a message to the members of the trade unions in this country of the seriousness of the situation which confronted the United Kingdom and which must inevitably afflict this country if some measures are not adopted to withstand its evil influence. [More…]
If the Government persists in its union bashing it is more likely to meet the same fate as did Edward Heath in the United Kingdom when he thought he could batter the United Kingdom miners into submission. [More…]
The Royal Commission has argued that the companies concerned knew that the introduction of solus trading would lead to a proliferation of outlets and thus to inflation of wholesale and retail distribution costs, as had been experienced previously in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Canada. [More…]
One has only to look at the massive payouts that occur in the United Kingdom and Canada under their schemes, which are similar to Medibank Mark I. [More…]
Although the rates are to be adjusted, will the Tasmanian apple growers be more likely to export to the United Kingdom and [More…]
-Is the Minister for Primary Industry aware of the adverse criticism by British fruit importers of the quality of 1976 season Tasmanian apples exported to the United Kingdom? [More…]
Until the end of 1972, on every racial issue Australia, New Zealand, Portugal and South Africa stood alone, sometimes beside France, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I realise, of course, that this nation is attempting to do what a previous non-Labor Government attempted in the United Kingdom, but we are doing it much more successfully and for one very clear reason, that is, that when the Heath Government was elected it was elected with almost a 50/50 majority. [More…]
It did not have a decisive majority and there was always in the minds of the people of the United Kingdom the doubt that that Government might last or it might not last. [More…]
So there is a difference between the situation in Australia and what happened in the United Kingdom where a non-Labor Government went into office and went out of office just as promptly. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the composition of bread containing milk solids is: [More…]
The matter finally emerged in statutory form in 1911 in the United Kingdom. [More…]
But today we have a viceroy, not a Governor-General, exercising supervisory powers which might have been appropriate to an immature, emerging nation but not to a mature, independent nation which chooses to share a monarch with the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am prompted to speak briefly about the adverse criticism which has been levelled against Tasmanian apples exported to the United Kingdom in the 1976 season. [More…]
It is close now to a world monopoly except for Australian and United Kingdom manufacturers and perhaps Sega of Japan, all of which are small, as compared with the giant size of Bally. [More…]
The voluntary code in Australia differs from the alcoholic drink provisions of the United Kingdom statutory Independent Broadcasting Authority Code of Advertising Standards and Practice in the following ways: [More…]
children may not be seen or heard in an advertisement for alcoholic drink in the United Kingdom. [More…]
This is not a requirement of the United Kingdom statutory code; [More…]
There is no equivalent in the United Kingdom code; [More…]
This is not provided for in the United Kingdom code; [More…]
This is not specified in the United Kingdom code; [More…]
the United Kingdom code specifies that advertisements must not claim that alcohol has therapeutic qualities nor offer it expressly as a stimulant, sedative or tranquilliser. [More…]
viii) under the United Kingdom code no liquor advertisement may publicise a competition. [More…]
If I had time I could give figures about the United Kingdom with the same force as I have given them about those other countries. [More…]
I understand that in matters of trade the United States, the United Kingdom and many other countries have goods for sale in Rhodesia, so of what use is all the moralising by these countries on these matters. [More…]
They were fearful, that is, that we, too, like the other reactionary societies in South-East Asia and elsewhere, were about to be wiped off the face of the earth, that the peoples of the world, carried away as they were and are by a hope of better things for mankind, would not let us survive- that we always had been intruders here, and now, like the South Africans and the Rhodesians, and possibly much later, the white New Zealanders, we would either be eliminated and disappear off the face of the earth as though we had never been, or, mercifully, and with quite underserved charity, be given a chance to return to the place whence we came, that precious graveyard of the contemporary world, the United Kingdom and Western Europe. [More…]
For a few months I thought we had the chance of inducing in this country some kind of bipartisan support for the concept that there is no economic revival in our type of economy unless there is a revival of the private sector- a concept, incidentally, which has been endorsed as recently as last week by none other than the leader of a socialist government in the United Kingdom. [More…]
He ought to look at the wages policy of the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
He ought to look at a situation in the United Kingdom where the Government has secured the support of the Trade Union Congress in that country for a level of wage increases which most people would have believed several years ago would have been quite impossible in the context of the industrial relations of that country. [More…]
But what has been recognised in the United Kingdom and what I believe is recognised by the great majority of Australian people is simply this: There is a nexus between wage increases and company profitability. [More…]
Each year the main bulk has come from the United Kingdom and Ireland- 30 per cent to 40 per cent. [More…]
In the 9 months ended March this year 13 823 of the total of 40 558 migrants were from the United Kingdom and Ireland. [More…]
What we are seeking to do in regard to the present very low key and very minimally funded advertising campaign in the United Kingdom is to change an attitude rather than recruit migrants. [More…]
We are seeking to change an attitude brought about by the previous Australian Government’s attitude towards British migrants which resulted in people in the United Kingdom feeling that they were not wanted in Australia any more. [More…]
I made exactly the same statements about the number and categories of people being admitted to Australia in every country I visited, not only in the United Kingdom as was suggested by the honourable member. [More…]
It refuses to accept what has now been accepted even in the United Kingdom under a Labor Government- that until such time as there is a sustained revival of private sector activity there will be no long-term solution to economic problems. [More…]
The Labor Party has refused to accept what even Mr Callaghan ‘s Government in the United Kingdom has accepted- that the path to economic recovery does not lie in a government endeavouring to spend its way out of difficulty but lies in the sort of strategy which is now being undertaken by the present Government in Australia. [More…]
In South Australia interest in uranium has persisted from the Second World War, when the first call was made by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
The United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, France, Canada, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, West Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Holland, Pakistan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and many other countries are investing massively in nuclear power because they realise that this is the power of the future, particularly because of the drain on petroleum resources throughout the world. [More…]
I am thinking in terms of job redesign, retraining, management training, especially for supervisors and foremen, investment and production policies, in-plant communicationwe have not had anything like the Lord Watkinson report which was brought down in the United Kingdom- absenteeism, job turnover, job satisfaction. [More…]
The trip of the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) to Jakarta can be described only as a tragic example of appeasement- perhaps the greatest act of appeasement to another country by Australia since the days when Australia’s foreign policy was determined in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The academics- the honourable member for Grayndler or for the United Kingdom or wherever he comes from is a member of that clan- do not look upon federalism as being a reasonable approach to government in Australia any more. [More…]
The United Kingdom carried out exact tests on 1 1 -year olds in 1948. [More…]
Similarly, all the newspapers of the United Kingdom have advanced. [More…]
In 1 949, 10 per cent of jobs in the United Kingdom could be held by a person who could simply sign his name. [More…]
Belgrade (Yugoslavia), Toulouse (France), Gothenburg (Sweden), London (United Kingdom), Leningrad and Moscow (Russia). [More…]
The alarmist reports of destruction of fauna within Australia and the reports from the United Kingdom authorities of mass deaths of birds resulting from attempts to smuggle them through Heathrow Airport brought s very emotional aspect to this investigation in its early stages. [More…]
The appropriations also provide moneys for the shared commitment with the United Kingdom of the construction and operation of the Anglo-Australian telescope at Coonabarabran in New South Wales. [More…]
Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom in addition to the United States of America have all reached the conclusion that assistance should be given to their shipyards, why is it that this Government hides its head in the sand when it comes to helping our shipyards at Whyalla and Newcastle? [More…]
He did say that the D-day landing required 6900 ships and 10 000 aircraft- I take it that that related to the United Kingdom Normandy landingand I must say that on that morning one could have walked on the ships across the Channel. [More…]
Of the last 60 occasions on which the United Kingdom has found herself involved in armed conflict, on only 2 occasions have the engagements, the involvements, been perceived by the experts. [More…]
There are 9 persons on the Commission and they are appointed by the government of the day, as is the case with the British Broadcasting Corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The amendment is before the House because section 6(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act defines royalty by a strange system of cross references to the United Kingdom double tax agreement. [More…]
It is sensible to amend the definition to include royalties passing to countries with whom Australia has double tax agreements along the lines of the United Kingdom agreement, since these agreements contain rules dealing with such royalties. [More…]
Bellambi Coal Company- 65 per cent owned by Consolidated Goldfields of United Kingdom. [More…]
In 1972 Australian steel plate was priced fractionally less than the Japanese product and was significantly cheaper than in West Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, whereas in March of this year Australian steel plate was some 40 per cent more expensive than the Japanese product and also ahead of those countries which I mentioned. [More…]
It is interesting also to note that the United Kingdom was the second biggest purchaser of Australia’s coal. [More…]
I say to anybody who seeks to justify in 1976 the argument that a Governor-General in Australia can exercise powers which the Queen in the United Kingdom cannot that his synthetic sympathy about what is happening in Hungary or anywhere else in the world is very misplaced when he is taking part in the death of democracy in Australia. [More…]
It was introduced because of the loss of viable overseas markets, particularly the traditional United Kingdom market, due to the United Kingdom’s entry in the European Economic Community and the external tariff that it would provide on fruit. [More…]
In other words, we were changing fairly rapidly from a situation of tariff preference in the United Kingdom, where at one stage well over half of our total fruit pack went, to one of tariff exclusion. [More…]
This Government introduced that Bill at a time when it knew that the entry of the United Kingdom into the EEC was imminent and that therefore that market would be lost. [More…]
The base rate for apples sent to the United Kingdom and Europe in 1969 was approximately $1.70 a case. [More…]
In Germany they have an effective, integrated union structure, but the United Kingdom still has more than 300 separate unions. [More…]
If we had the laws of the United Kingdom and the United States of America with respect to media owners in Australia, the people of Australia would not have as much to complain about as they do regarding the media. [More…]
I have been told that the United Kingdom bans child orientated advertisements. [More…]
As an example, I instance the recent appointment to a trade commissioner post in the United Kingdom of a former officer of the Department of Primary Industry. [More…]
The question was raised: ‘How does the rate of recovery of charges dealing with the current year compare with rates in New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America?’. [More…]
This is, after all, the key lesson of the experience in the United Kingdom in recent years, and in Australia during 1975. [More…]
Is it a fact that this type of patent legislation is in existence in most developed countries, including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, most European countries and New Zealand? [More…]
What has been done to meet the crisis of literacy by pointing out that in some comparable countries such as New Zealand or the United Kingdom things are even worse. [More…]
Mary Kathleen Uranium, the only mine now producing uranium in Australia, is stockpiling production and contract obligations have been met by borrowing uranium from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The material will be processed in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, which are also parties to the NPT and require safeguards on the material which they process additional to those of the NPT. [More…]
There are, in my view, no grounds for arguing that the powers exercised by the Governor-General could not be exercised by the Queen in her capacity as Queen of Australia, even if their exercise by her in the United Kingdom is, according to Colin Howard, unthinkable. [More…]
One only has to look at the value to the United Kingdom of its earnings and the invisibles to see how important this matter is to that nation. [More…]
The United Kingdom legislation, for instance, goes part of the way in the sense that a company cannot direct what it will or will not invest in the first 5 years following its authorisation. [More…]
The one aspect of the insurance field today which is worrying me is the premium price cutting in fire and industrial insurance which is causing concern both in the United Kingdom and in the United States. [More…]
The large overseas companies, mainly in the United Kingdom, have more than sufficient fat to survive the cold when it comes, and I am deeply concerned at the effect this price cutting will have on small Australian companies. [More…]
Experience in the United Kingdom and elsewhere has demonstrated also that governments cannot spend their way out of recession when prices and costs are increasing rapidly. [More…]
The Convention is now in force and the three depository States, the United States, the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, are actively encouraging all signatory nations to proceed to ratification. [More…]
This Convention came into force internationally in 1968, but the relevant law in Australia still consists of the Merchant Shipping Acts of 1 894 and 1 900 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Part II of the Act deals with crewing matters, and until recently was in line with similar provisions in the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act, with both laws applying to a visiting British ship whilst in Australia. [More…]
The United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act has recently been very substantially changed and it would create administrative problems for the master and crew of a ship and the staffs of mercantile marine offices, who administer the relevant provisions of the Navigation Act, if those provisions were to continue to apply to such ships. [More…]
The finder may acquire salvage rights under the Navigation Act, the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Acts, or at common law before the wreck is declared historic. [More…]
There was certainly a royal commission in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In particular, such claims were resisted by the United Kingdom in 1964 in connection with an attempt by the United States authorities to regulate shipping between the 2 countries. [More…]
The Attorney-General may be aware- he ought to be aware- that there is legislation not dissimilar to this in the United Kingdom. [More…]
When it happens, the Secretary of State in the United Kingdom does not have the kind of authority which is given here in clause 4 to the Attorney-General but has to make a statutory instrument wherein he prescribes certain documents as being, for the purposes of the legislation, documents which will not be subject to the usual letters of request in an English court. [More…]
It guaranteed that Australia’s uranium would be exported to the United Kingdom to replace in kind uranium borrowed by MKU. [More…]
The major interest in MKU is Conzinc Rio-Tinto of Australia Ltd which, in turn, is a subsidiary of the giant Rio-Tinto Zinc of the United Kingdom. [More…]
What I am saying is that this time man’s knowledge, or lack of knowledge, of the proper regulation and control of the production of uranium and the hideous dangers inherent in its use or misuse is such that we as a Parliament should follow the advice of such expert commissions as the Fox inquiry in Australia and the Flowers Royal Commission in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I remind the House that the Flowers Commission in the United Kingdom reached almost identical conclusions. [More…]
If we look at West Germany we see that its commitment is 50 000 megawatts while the United Kingdom has a commitment of 15 000 megawatts. [More…]
I last visited the United Kingdom from 11 to 17 August of this year. [More…]
My journeys in the United Kingdom were as follows: [More…]
Horses may only be imported into Australia from the United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand. [More…]
Horses imported into Australia from the United Kingdom and Ireland now undergo pre-export testing with negative result for piroplasmosis (including B. equi), equine infectious anaemia and vesicular stomatitis. [More…]
We were mindful of what such schemes had done to the economies of the United Kingdom, Canada and elsewhere where there was no restraint on costs. [More…]
As to the convention, I am sure the honourable gentleman is thinking of the convention of the United Kingdom; certainly, he could not be thinking of the convention in Australia. [More…]
While I may believe that the convention of the United Kingdom is a preferable one, it does not exist in Australia. [More…]
I think it would be in the interests of the Parliament, if the United Kingdom convention were adopted but in fact it has not been adopted. [More…]
I have said over and over again that the problems in Australia are not essentially different from the problems in the United States of America, in West Germany and in the United Kingdom, to take only a few examples. [More…]
These problems derive principally from the large volume of exports which the industry has traditionally sent to markets in the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
Much has been said about the cost of freighting a carton of apples from the wharves at Hobart to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In 1969 the cost to freight a case of apples from Hobart to the United Kingdom was approximately $1.70. [More…]
It is absolutely imperative that the United Kingdom and Europe take the bulk of its apple exports. [More…]
Of course, if honourable members like to look at the facts they will see that South Australian apples have always had a premium on the United Kingdom market, way above that of the apples from the other States. [More…]
I offer the warning that attempts to destroy the principles of conciliation and arbitration in the industrial arena has resulted in the demise of governments lead by Stanley Melbourne Bruce in Australia and Mr Edward Heath in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It arises from food poisoning on Flight 888 from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I ask: When Her Majesty the Queen decides who shall be her representative as Governor of an Australian State is she acting in her capacity as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or in her capacity as Queen of Australia? [More…]
Both the United Kingdom and the United States have a local content component of at least 85 per cent. [More…]
Read what was said by the Pilkington Committee in its report in the United Kingdom in 1962. [More…]
That is the system, more or less, in the United Kingdom, so it is not a communist plot. [More…]
Other countries such as the United Kingdom which have recently devalued will still offer strong competition but our industries should compete on more favourable grounds with countries such as Japan and the United States. [More…]
1 ) The problem of the high duties imposed by the EEC on imports of canned fruit has been receiving the continuous attention of the Department of Overseas Trade, particularly since the United Kingdom, Australia’s largest single market for canned fruit, decided to enter the EEC. [More…]
It was tried in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Of course, I knew that the Government had the stern example of the United Kingdom before it, knowing that if something is not done following devaluation the country will go down the economic drain. [More…]
Countries of origin are predominantly the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Denmark. [More…]
A group of officials led by a senior officer of the Department of Foreign Affairs departed on 22 November for informal discussions on nuclear safeguards matters with government officials and with international organisations in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Austria, the Federal Republic of Germany, Canada, the United States and Japan. [More…]
They were conducted pursuant to an agreement between the United Kingdom and Australia. [More…]
As Honourary Secretary of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, he has participated in many important Commonwealth Parliamentary Association activities, including attendance at conferences in Nigeria, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Opposition is asking this Government to do exactly the same as nas been done in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom, West Germany and other countries have moved in this area. [More…]
Secondly, consequent upon the provisions of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act 1970, Part II of the principal Act is amended to redefine visiting British ships so as to exclude British ships visiting Australia in the course of an international voyage. [More…]
Indeed, for Australia this question is still not resolved, since ship registrations still have to be referred to the Central British office at Cardiff, United Kingdom, for final approval, a remnant of the 1 894 Shipping Act that infuriates some and enchants others. [More…]
This will no longer apply to visiting ships, the conditions of whose operations in Australia were governed by the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act. [More…]
It is important to note what has happened in the United Kingdom since the Plowden report in 196S. [More…]
When I was in the United Kingdom in June and July of this year I went to the College of Education at Edgehill and also to the Thomas Coram Child Research Unit of the Faculty of Education of London University. [More…]
One was about the standards of reading in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It had not gone back, it had not gone forward, but the demands of people in the United Kingdom had risen. [More…]
A person who died in the United Kingdom in 1975 in his lifetime had filled in 17 times as many forms as a person who had died in 1945. [More…]
What marketing arrangements exist for the sale of uranium in (a) the United States, (b) the United Kingdom, (c) South Africa and (d) the rest of the world. [More…]
The headquarters of the Uranium Institute are in London, United Kingdom, where it is incorporated as a limited company. [More…]
Which pastoral companies in Northern Australia, including the Northern Territory, have negotiated or maintained previously existing contracts to supply meat to (a) Japan, (b) the United Kingdom, (c) the United States of America and (d) the European Economic Community in the last 12 months. [More…]
The countries with which we are associated in this regard are the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Turkey, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal and Iceland. [More…]
It was classified by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, for example, the equivalent to a First Division officer is, m every sense of the term, the ‘senior finance officer’ and he ultimately is responsible for everything that takes place within his department and is, of course, answerable for its activities to his Minister and to the Parliament. [More…]
Chemistry at the Moscow State University, and Zuckerman, Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government of the United Kingdom. [More…]
-Qantas Airways Ltd and British Airways have announced a new cheap fare from Australia to the United Kingdom and from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
For example, in France the price, less tax and duties, per gallon is 23.93c, in the United Kingdom it is 23.58c while in New Zealand it is 25.9c. [More…]
I would no more object to the appointment of Lance Barnard as Ambassador to Sweden than should any honourable gentleman raise an objection to the appointment of the Honourable Gordon Freeth as High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. [More…]
There is a staff association which indicates that there should be a closed shop arrangement in relation to ambassadors and high commissioners, a contention which I will not accept for one moment, especially in relation to the United Kingdom and the United States where there is particular advantage in having somebody with a political background and a close knowledge of the politics and politicians in his own country. [More…]
In Canada they increased by 13.2 per cent, in the United States by 8.2 per cent, in Japan by 11.8 per cent, in France by 14.4 per cent, in Germany by 6.8 per cent, and even in the United Kingdom by only 14.4 per cent. [More…]
The medal will be struck for issue as a personal award from the Queen to people from all walks of life in Australia, the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries who have rendered service to the Crown or to the community. [More…]
Each arm of Australia’s defence Services will send representatives to the United Kingdom to take part in various events there during the year. [More…]
Honourable members will know that an appeal has been launched in the United Kingdomthe Queen’s Silver Jubilee Appeal- to commemorate Her Majesty’s Jubilee. [More…]
The United Kingdom Appeal, which is led by His Royal Highness Prince Charles, is by the Queen’s wish dedicated to young people. [More…]
Trade practices law has been in force in the United States since about 1890 and in the United Kingdom somewhat latterly, but always trade unions have been excluded from its ambit. [More…]
I submit, with respect, that in other countries with whom we like to compare ourselves- the two that I know best are the United States and the United Kingdom- trade . [More…]
I repeat, the law in the United States and the law in the United Kingdom, upon which we model ourselves, exempts trade unions from the operation of trade practices law. [More…]
In the 2 countries with which we compare ourselves, I hope honestly- that is, the United States and the United Kingdom- trade unions are exempted from the operations of trade practices regulations. [More…]
I am sorry that the Government now seeks to amend that law and to bring in something that was never brought into the equivalent legislation in the 2 comparative countries, the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
If the honourable gentleman wishes to suggest that it is, that is fair enough; but, in the 2 great countries with which we compare ourselves, the Sherman Act in the United States goes back as far as 1890 and similar legislation in the United Kingdom was introduced a little more latterly. [More…]
If honourable members wish to compare our country with Bulgaria, China, Portugal, or somewhere else, let us hear it; but in both the United States and the United Kingdom trade unions do not come within the ambit of trade practices regulation. [More…]
With great respect to the Minister, I ask: Why is it sought here, unlike in the 2 major countries with which we like to compare ourselves- the United States and the United Kingdom- to bring trade unions within the ambit of restrictive trade practices regulation? [More…]
I refer to the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I listened with a great deal of interest to my friend, the honourable member for Melbourne Ports (Mr Crean), who pointed out that the countries with which we like to compare ourselves, the United States and the United Kingdom are 2 countries which have never allowed themselves to fall into the kind of trap into which this Government is asking us to walk. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, for example, the larger and smaller electorates are more evenly distributed between the parties. [More…]
The insurance arrangements provided by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation of the United States of America and the New Zealand Wheatgrowers’ Compensation Scheme have been examined as have schemes operating in Canada, France, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The present position has been aggravated, as the honourable member knows and as many others may not know, because last year there were difficulties with fruit that was shipped on consignment, in particular to the United Kingdom from Tasmania, not coming out of the box as well as the importers had hoped. [More…]
As a consequence this year there have been some quite real difficulties in placing fruit both in the United Kingdom and I understand in Hamburg. [More…]
The position regarding the Hamburg and the United Kingdom markets and the disposal of fruit on consignment is such that there is a very real worry as to what might happen with fruit exports, particularly from Tasmania. [More…]
The Tasmanian Government, I am told, although I have not been advised officially, has decided on the recommendation of a number of protagonists in Tasmania to set up some type of a statutory marketing authority which is intended to handle fruit shipped to the United Kingdom and Germany. [More…]
The Chairman of the Australian Apple and Pear Corporation and Mr Reg Walker, who I understand is the Chairman of the Tasmanian Fruit Marketing Board, will shortly return from the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
Countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada, through recently published white papers, have expressed the opinion that selective benefits may better serve their needs. [More…]
It was of great support to the people of the United Kingdom that the King and Queen remained in London during the whole of the horrific period of the bombing of the nation. [More…]
Support as in 1976 will be limited to sales ‘at risk’ to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
As in 1976, the support will be limited to sales ‘at risk’ to Europe, including the United Kingdom, and North America. [More…]
Apple exports to the United Kingdom and Europe in 1976 were almost 2.4 million boxes, about 1 million boxes below the 1975 figure. [More…]
Although pear exports in 1976 to the United Kingdom and Europe, at 834 000 boxes, were slightly down from the 85 1 000 boxes shipped in 1975, prices obtained were also generally unsatisfactory. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition referred to the extent to which there has been alone amongst the member countries of the Commonwealth, a maintenance of some dependence upon the United Kingdom by both Canada and Australia. [More…]
Notwithstanding his comparative youth in the world scene I believe his views are achieving and receiving a recognition throughout the world somewhat equivalent to that accorded the views expressed by Mr Anthony Eden, as he then was, when he was Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom in the pre-war days. [More…]
For apples the ambit of the scheme will be limited to sales at risk to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
For pears the limitation will be on sales at risk to Europe, including the United Kingdom, and also to North America. [More…]
The British Phosphate Commission, which is made up of New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Australia, operates as a corporation for the handling of rock phosphate from Nauru, Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands. [More…]
A United Kingdom statute, the Foreign Enlistment Act, in force since 1870 and applicable to the British dominions, dealt with enlistment by British subjects in foreign forces but in terms inappropriate in today’s circumstances. [More…]
The United Kingdom Government established a Committee of Privy Counsellors under the chairmanship of Lord Diplock to examine the problem. [More…]
The Committee recommended the abolition of the offence of enlisting while abroad as a mercenary and of leaving the United Kingdom in order to do so. [More…]
The United Kingdom Committee, however, recommended new legislation to prohibit recruitment of persons to take up service as mercenaries abroad including prohibition of offers of employment as a mercenary, publishing information as to how or where to apply for such employment or to reach the place where it is available, or making any payment or taking part in any arrangement to enable or assist a person to do so. [More…]
Independently of the United Kingdom inquiry, the Australian Government had conducted its own examination which produced the same broad conclusion as the Diplock Committee, namely, that it was not appropriate to attempt to prohibit enlistment outside Australia but it was desirable to control recruitment within [More…]
The subsidy applies to risk areas which primarily are in Europe and the United Kingdom with the exception of pears which are, I think, at risk on North American markets. [More…]
Last year 2.4 million boxes of apples were exported to the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
In the same period approximately 834 000 boxes of pears were exported to the United Kingdom and Europe, and the cost to the Government by way of stabilisation payments for these exports was $280,000. [More…]
Let me then canvass some of the history of the involvement of the British Monarch in the politics of the United Kingdom. [More…]
We are a member of the Commonwealth, but that does not make us a lackey of the United Kingdom. [More…]
We are a member of the Commonwealth, but that does not make us a lackey of the United Kingdom. [More…]
This absence of effective public administration contrasts strongly with the experience of countries overseas such as Canada, the United States, United Kingdom, Norway, France and New Zealand. [More…]
Beginning with that advantage, New Zealand was able to utilise some $80m, which it had in kitty as a result of sales of meat according to the terms of an arrangement with the United Kingdom, towards the establishment of a stabilisation scheme. [More…]
I should have thought that at the present time we should be looking for our main source of migrants from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I point out to the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (Mr MacKellar) and to the House that if a comparison were made between that report and the reports and the studies that have been made in Canada, United States, the United Kingdom and other parts of the world it would be found to be in fact an extremely poor report. [More…]
Forty-two per cent of them came from the United Kingdom, and 58 per cent from 100 other countries including Italy, Greece, Yugoslavia, Germany and The Netherlands. [More…]
This corresponds with the emphasis of the first report of our own Environmental Inquiry and the Inquiry recently conducted in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia was certainly heading down the same road as the United Kingdom with its national health scheme. [More…]
I think it is worth pointing out to this not exactly full House that something like 62.5 per cent of the subscriptions are held by regional members and that only 37.5 per cent is available for such non-regional members as the United States, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Therefore, the rules formulated by the United Kingdom judges in 1918 to provide a guide to police interrogating suspects, which are the rules applied by Australian courts, are given statutory force. [More…]
I would therefore point out to those who would question the way Australia quite regularly increases its subscription to the Bank, that the Asian Development Bank is not just supported by the developing countries of the region, or by the developed countries of the area such as Australia, Japan and New Zealand, but it is also supported by developed nations throughout the world including the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, the Scandinavian countries, France, Denmark and many other industrialised nations. [More…]
and (c) the amount of the supplement varies; it is the amount by which any relevant United Kingdom pension is less than the Australian pension that would be payable under the income test. [More…]
In determining the amount of the supplement the United Kingdom pension is not counted as income. [More…]
A former resident of the United Kingdom who is accepted as permanently resident in Australia may be assisted under the Reciprocal Agreement to qualify for Australian pension. [More…]
For this purpose residence in the United Kingdom, as well as the period of the journey to Australia (if that is less than 1 3 weeks) is treated as residence in Australia. [More…]
At 30 June 1976 there were IS 399 age pensions and 638 widows’ pensions payable under the Reciprocal Agreement with the United Kingdom. [More…]

The resultant interview to which I have referred was reported in the United Kingdom Press. [More…]
However, the article was printed in the United Kingdom Press and it was broadcast by the British Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
The Committee decided that the maintenance of good international relations between the United Kingdom, in that case, and other states should be maintained by legislation within the United Kingdom to prevent these difficulties from arising. [More…]
We already have reciprocal agreements with the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
They have ceased to be of much significance to former Australian residents living in the United Kingdom who, when they left Australia, were in receipt of the Australian pension, which they were able to carry with them to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In fact it was recently necessary for the agreement to be amended to ensure that such persons did not receive 2 pensions- one direct from Australia and the other from the United Kingdom Government under the reciprocal agreement. [More…]
European countries such as Italy in their discussions with Australia have indicated that they do not wish to follow the pattern of our arrangements with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The man who wrote the speech of the honourable member for Scullin which he regurgitated tonight did not recognise something about the reference he made to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United States energy authority estimated in 1975 that an ‘aggressive but potentially attainable’ rate of solar energy could supply 1 per cent of United States energy needs by the year 2000 and the United Kingdom estimate is similar. [More…]
I do not want to see in 1977 in Australia the sort of thing which happened in the United Kingdom in 1938. [More…]
I cannot conclude my remarks in a debate such as this without once more being critical of what I believe are the back door efforts of the Government to give preference to the recruitment of migrants in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Does the Government propose any inquiry into beer pricing, other than inquiries conducted by the Prices Justification Tribunal, along the lines of that presently being conducted by the United Kingdom Prices Commission. [More…]
1 ) As the Australian Government insurance legislation is very similar in structure to that of the Insurance Companies Act 1974 of the United Kingdom, will he give urgent consideration to having incorporated into the Australian legislation provisions dealing with (a) control of insurance company investments and (b) oversight of the suitability of directors and other executive officers of such companies. [More…]
Will he take steps to amend the Insurance Acts 1973, by including a new section 21A similar to section 7 of the United Kingdom Act, with consequential amendments to sections 22 and 27. [More…]
Will he also take steps to (a) amend section 29 by inserting a new provision that a person is not a fit and proper person to manage the affairs of a body corporate, (b) amend section 52 by inserting the provision in section 39 of the United Kingdom Act, (c) insert new sections 62A, 62B and 62C similar to sections 52,53 and 54 of the United Kingdom Act and (d) amend section 30 to incorporate the investment provisions contained in section 30 of the United Kingdom Act. [More…]
The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows: (l)-(4) The Government is yet to be convinced that the highly controversial provisions contained in the United Kingdom insurance legislation in relation to the control of investments and oversight of the suitability of directors are necessary or appropriate to Australia. [More…]
Why should a highly conservative government suddenly unleash a policy proposal that has failed whenever it has been tried in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe? [More…]

Estimated settler arrivals from the United Kingdom for 1 976-77 are expected to comprise (1)10 000 assisted and (b) 12 000 unassisted. [More…]
I should like to refer tonight to a speech made by Sir Brian Flowers late last year in the United Kingdom, when he explained his methodology and approach to his report on nuclear power and the environment. [More…]
The group in question held discussions with Government officials of the United Kingdom (in London, 25 and 26 November 1976), the Federal Republic of Germany (in Bonn, 6 December 1976), Canada (in Ottawa, 8 to 10 December 1976), the United States (in Washington, 13 to 15 December 1976) and Japan (in Tokyo, 20 and 21 November 1976). [More…]
Is the Treasurer aware that CRA sells its share of Queensland Alumina’s output at a loss, much of it to its United Kingdom parent company, the Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation, while continuing to make a profit through Queensland Alumina’s investment allowance? [More…]
Overseas experience, particularly in the United Kingdom, amply demonstrated the necessity for continual monitoring of laws and regulations applying to the insurance industry. [More…]
The United Kingdom has legislation which provides for the regulation of insurance advertising. [More…]
That is perhaps best examplified by the fact that when well known European consultants were asked to depict the best and worst aspects of British industry for viewers on the European continent they chose as the worst industry, for one reason or another but not due to personalities, the British shipbuilding industry, which had run into immense and enormous difficulties for a variety of reasons, and they chose as the best industries operating in the United Kingdom from an economic point of view the city and the insurance industry. [More…]
I suppose it is fair to say that experience overseas of policy holders has shown that poor management and speculative investment has cost policy owners very dearly in this country, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
He replied: ( 1 )-(4) The Government is yet to be convinced that the highly controversial provisions contained in the United Kingdom insurance legislation in relation to the control of investments and oversight of the suitability of directors are necessary or appropriate in Australia. [More…]
A test of all 11 -year-olds was made in 1949 in the United Kingdom. [More…]

It is interesting to note that in September 1971 the United Kingdom Government expelled a large number of Soviet diplomats from the United Kingdom. [More…]
My understanding is that even in the European Economic Community, the draft resolution which led to the establishment of the Bullock Committee in the United Kingdom has now been withdrawn and the EEC does not intend to proceed with the idea of worker directors. [More…]
Similarly a referendum was held in the United Kingdom on the question of joining the European Economic Community- a matter of great importance. [More…]
This compares with pledges by the United States of America of $US200m, the United Kingdom of stg15m, Canada $C30m and New Zealand $NZ2m. [More…]

[More…]
Will the Law Reform Commission be holding discussions with the United Kingdom Committee in connection with its reference on consumer debtors. [More…]
Having regard to these developments, I do not consider that it would be appropriate, at this stage, to establish a committee with similar terms of reference to that of the United Kingdom Insolvency Law Reform Committee. [More…]
However, I am keeping this whole area under review and I have instructed my Department to monitor the work of the United Kingdom Committee. [More…]
The Australian Law Reform Commission will very shortly be making its report on the reference on ‘consumers in debt ‘ whereas the United Kingdom committee is just commencing what is expected to be a two to three year programme. [More…]
Can he say what laws of the United Kingdom at present regulate harsh and unconscionable contracts. [More…]
On the information available at present the United Kingdom does not appear to have any general statutory law regulating ‘harsh and unconscionable’ contracts. [More…]

It is one industry where the effects of the common agricultural policy of the European Economic Community both directly in the loss of sales in the United Kingdom and Europe, and indirectly in price cutting on Third World markets, has been particularly severe. [More…]
I should point out that these provisions have been part of the United Kingdom Hire Purchase Act since 1965 and the Misrepresentations Act in the United Kingdom since 1 967. [More…]

Indeed, the Australian Wool Corporation has already entered into negotiations in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I suggest in the strongest possible terms that studies in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries, where money is given for no gainful work, demonstrate without any shadow of a doubt that there are social problems and that in the years to come they will be frightening in their magnitude. [More…]
In 1963-64, 90 per cent of exports of beef and veal were shipped to the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Although prior to the United Kingdom entering the Common Market the sight of Australian frozen beef carcasses at Smithfield did little to improve the image of Australian beef, we were still far too slow in those days to encourage innovation and arrange for Australian chilled beef to reach that important market.

[More…]
One of the first actions I took as the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs was to go to the United Kingdom in May last year, which was the first visit by a Minister of the Fraser Government to the United Kingdom, to reassure them that Australia did not- I emphasise these words- have an antipathy towards the British migrants but that in fact we welcomed them.

Paying world parity prices will mean that we will be paying the type of prices for petrol that are paid overseas; that is, $2.40 a gallon in Italy, $1.80 a gallon in Germany and Switzerland and $1.60 to $1.80 a gallon in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Contributions from member states totalled $US 10.092m, with the major share of that amount coming from the United States, Soviet Russia, the United Kingdom, France and West Germany. [More…]

Let me go back to the Flowers report to the United Kingdom Parliament in September 1976 which said that this is the greatest danger which the world faces; yet if a country is short of power it should by all means maximise the production to 60 per cent instead of achieving the normal low usage from natural uranium. [More…]
Exploration in Australia began at the request of the United Kingdom Government which wanted uranium for its nuclear weapons program. [More…]

The Minister has agreed that their relatives will be contacted and, if they are in agreement and if there are no problems in the United Kingdom in relation to reburial in Australia, their remains will be brought home to the land that they once led. [More…]
It is being produced in countries such as Switzerland, United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan, West Germany, Sweden, France, Spam, Belgium, Canada, Argentina, Bulgaria and so on- and let us not forget Russia. [More…]

[More…]
In the United Kingdom there has been an alarming tendency for a small number of large corporations to control a greater proportion of production because it is far easier for government and unions to influence a small number of large corporations than it is to influence a larger number of small businesses. [More…]
Thus the price of sugar in a country such as the United Kingdom is not affected by this Agreement. [More…]
The United Kingdom price is fixed under the EEC common agricultural policy. [More…]

[More…]
I turn now to the references that have been made to the United Kingdom and to the [More…]

To my mind this reinforces certain comments made about the power of the shop stewards, the usurping of constituted trade union authority, the British disease in this country, and articles written by Paul Johnson, that leading Labor Party intellectual in the United Kingdom, who contributed to the New Statesman on the new tyranny of the trade unions.

Much has been made in the past few days of possible contracts with the United Kingdom. [More…]

1 ) Has the experience of Qantas shown that the new fare structure introduced earlier in 1977 for seasonal variations for shoulder, peak and through travel has resulted in a stimulus to, Australia to United Kingdom, or United Kingdom to Australia, traffic. [More…]
Since the introduction of the new fare package for travel between Australia and the United Kingdom, there has been an average increase in the number of passengers carried on Qantas in both directions of 17 per cent compared with the corresponding period last year. [More…]

If the parliamentarians of the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Norway, Austria and the United States collectively agree that state aid is required for political parties, that there should be a public register listing the names of private donors to political parties, why on earth can such a proposition not fee accepted in Australia? [More…]
-The Houghton report in the United Kingdom suggested as its first recommendation, which I understand is about to be adopted, that Stg1.5m be made available in the first year of operation as aid to political parties. [More…]

The Committee recommended the abolition of the offence of enlisting while abroad as a mercenary and of leaving the United Kingdom in order to do so. [More…]

[More…]
Independently of the United Kingdom inquiry, the Australian Government had conducted its own examination which produced the same broad conclusion as the Diplock Committee, namely, that it was not appropriate to attempt to prohibit enlistment outside Australia or to regulate overseas military activities of Australians except incursion activities dealt with under clause 6- but it was desirable to control recruitment within Australia of mercenaries for service in foreign forces. [More…]

-I refer the Prime Minister to the announcement last week that the inquiry in the United Kingdom headed by Mr Justice Parker has recommended in favour of the establishment of a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant at Winscales. [More…]

[More…]
The fact of the matter is this: Foreign policies were rejected by the Australian people, foreign policies that were designed to lead Australia out of alignment with the United States of America, with the United Kingdom and with our allies of more than half a century. [More…]

He will then make a formal application to commence a service between Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Mr Laker has to receive approval to commence the service not only from me but also from the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
As I understand it, he has made a formal application to the United Kingdom Government and it has deferred consideration of that matter for the moment. [More…]
When the EEC was expanded from the original six countries to its present nine countries by the addition of the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland, all Australians expected trade in our agricultural products to suffer. [More…]

The situation is that by legal entanglement we have involved ourselves in the Rhodesian situation- I say this without expressing any view one way or the other- in such a way that we mouth condemnation of an illegal regime and we mouth condemnation of an alleged internal settlement, but none of us in this Parliament this week- with the exception of one senator- has been game to mouth any condemnation of the fact reported this week in the United Kingdom Press that 25,000 guerillas are being trained under Soviet and Cuban tutelage for the express purpose of waging war on Zimbabwe, Zaire and Namibia.

Today the apple market in the United Kingdom is so great that Australian apples are required but Australian growers are not able to produce enough apples for that market. [More…]
The people involved in the industry in Tasmania have realised for many years that there have been problems in exporting fruit to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The right varieties have not been sent to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The growers have not had the people at the other end to make certain that when the apples are landed in the United Kingdom they are sold at the best possible price for the growers. [More…]
Of course, these are the markets in Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]

The fact that we do not have any aircraft flying across the Indian Ocean to mainland Africa; the fact that we are no longer flying eastwards to the United Kingdom via the United States of America, Canada, Mexico or the West Indies; the fact that we are contracting routes forever to a few gold-bound safe routes, suggests to me that with these additional aircraft, the purchase of which we in fact approved today, Qantas should have a more exciting look at itself and consider flying once again to Mexico and the West Indies, across mainland North America and across the Indian Ocean via Mauritius and Nairobi to European ports. [More…]
Studies by the Independent Commission on Transport in the United Kingdom have shown that a one per cent transfer of passenger traffic from the private car to buses would reduce the total oil consumed by cars and buses by 0.5 per cent. [More…]

In 1976 the United Kingdom Government considered a two volume report on transport policy and in June 1977 published a White Paper on that same subject. [More…]
In January 1977 the Secretary published a report similar to the United Kingdom projections to the year 2000. [More…]
Some of the conclusions from that report are even more relevant to Australia than either the Toronto or the United Kingdom projections. [More…]

In that case as I recall- I stand to be corrected- the Privy Council held that a 1958 United Kingdom or British statute, the Theft Act, applied in the Australian Admiralty jurisdiction and that was because of previous legislation. [More…]
