by leave - The Opposition welcomes this new venture by the Australian National Line, just as we welcomed the arrangement proposed by the Government to have Australian ships operate in the cargo trade to the United Kingdom and Japan. [More…]

When President Johnson’s declaration was debated here in the Senate I made the observation - I have continued to repeat this observation - that, as the United States is our ally and we are involved in responsive obligations to the United States and as it can ask for the return obligations from Australia, it was perfectly safe - indeed, it was proper and strategically in terms of grand strategy it was of paramount importance - that we should advance in a forward disposition into the South East Asian area because at that time we were protected in our advance positions by an alliance with the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The first thing that happened - this became clear enough some years ago - was that, for reasons which Senator Mulvihill advanced, Mr Healey, speaking on behalf of the United Kingdom Government, stated that the United Kingdom was no longer able to maintain the financial drain on its resources involved in keeping a presence east of Suez. [More…]
Therefore a decision was made that the United Kingdom would withdraw from east of Suez. [More…]
In practical terms this meant that the United Kingdom would run its forces down in the Malaysian peninsula and Singapore and begin to move them back into north western Europe. [More…]
The United Kingdom obviously is not withdrawing totally from east of Suez. [More…]
For reasons the United Kingdom government of the day considers proper, it is leaving a garrison of about 10,000 troops in Hong Kong. [More…]

But the United Kingdom Government has provided a part substitute in the form of an exercise which is being engaged in at the present time. [More…]
I do not believe that in any circumstances in which danger might threaten in the South East Asian area the United Kingdom would be able to mount such an operation as that on which it is engaged at the present time. [More…]
It is quite clear that in the global grand strategic picture in which we are involved it would merely require the Soviet Union to make threatening noises in north western Europe for the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation partners to refuse the United Kingdom the right to withdraw troops from the NATO area in order to fly them to South East Asia. [More…]
The second is this: There may be circumstances such as those which existed in 1941 in which the United Kingdom would not be able to assume tine obligation which Australia might ask it to accept. [More…]
I refer to the kind of obligation which it has accepted in the past, that in the event of war in the Pacific the United Kingdom would make naval forces available to provide a covering force in Singapore. [More…]
The United Kingdom was unable to fulfil itscommitment. [More…]
I have no apologies to make for speaking as an individual here in my place in the Senate as to the change that must take place in Australia’s foreign policy and Australia’s defence because the concepts on which defence and foreign policy were directed in the 1950s and 1960s has disappeared with the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from east of Suez and the United States retreat - not retreat but retirement - to the area where it can exercise its greatest strategical flexibility. [More…]
It is all very well for the United Kingdom to say to the people of Fiji: ‘We are giving you your independence’, as the United Kingdom is in the process of doing, but when the United Kingdom walks out of Fiji someone has to pick up some of the tabs. [More…]

Some people dismissed it because they thought it would involve a very insignificant part of Tasmania’s trade - they had in mind the quantity of products that go overseas to the United Kingdom - and that it was a matter about which we had no need to be greatly concerned. [More…]
Whilst the quantity of produce that is shipped to the United Kingdom from Tasmania is small, nevertheless it is of very great importance. [More…]
The representatives of the overseas consortium indicated - and they were questioned about this many times - that the inauguration of container services from Tasmania to the feeder ports on the mainland would receive fairly prompt attention and that it would not be very long after container services were running from Australia to the United Kingdom before exports to the United Kingdom from Tasmania would be included in the container services for the whole of Australia. [More…]
Then he said - and it seems to me that this statement fits the case for the provision of container services from Tasmania to the United Kingdom: [More…]
The provision of feeder services- and he is referring to services from Tasmania to the feeder ports for cargoes to the United Kingdom: to Tasmanian ports is, in the first instance, a matter for commercial negotiation. [More…]
In the course of investigations into these disabilities and problems, as they affect the Tasmanian apple industry, it came to light that the rates of freight on apples from New Zealand to the United Kingdom and other European markets were very much lower than the rates of freight on apples sent from Tasmania to those European markets, taking all things into account. [More…]
of the old Federal Exporters Oversea Transport Committee, which dealt with all aspects of freights, tonnages and problems involved in the export of Australian goods particularly to the United Kingdom and the Continent, I can say that that Committee dealt fairly with the States as a national committee and recognised the rights of Tasmania equally with those of any other State of the Commonwealth including my own Stale of South Australia. [More…]
So the concept of containerisation was introduced in Australian trade to the United Kingdom. [More…]
With the build-up of tonnage on the United Kingdom run this type of ship - this is the only one to which I can refer on this aspect because the Scandias are coming in on this run - could bring benefits to States such as Tasmania and South Australia. [More…]
Since the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from South East Asia. [More…]
Every evil word which could be mustered up has been hurled at our allies - the United States of America and the United Kingdom - as well as ourselves. [More…]
I understand that parliamentary draftsmen in the United Kingdom are amongst the highest paid, if not the highest paid, parliamentary draftsmen in the world but, notwithstanding that fact and a recognised superiority in performance in the United Kingdom, there still are vacancies in the drafting office in that country. [More…]
1 believe that the Commonwealth has adopted the principle which exists in the United Kingdom where I understand that the value of land, not the value of the rural section of the estate, is taken in at 50% of the sworn value. [More…]
The United Kingdom is having problems because of its financial relationships with and responsibilities to Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. [More…]
For instance, local government in the United Kingdom runs the police forces and the education system and it has a very important and distinct role in the raising of funds, lt does not have the intrusion of the Commonwealth to the extent that we have here into the revenue raising or the taxation fields in their particular areas of responsibility. [More…]
Local government in the United Kingdom runs its own housing institutions. [More…]
I think I should say in answer to that question, which will have to be directed in its generality to the department concerned, that J share with the honourable senator his concern at any prospect of an increase in shipping freight rates for Australian exports, more particularly in this instance the ones to which he referred - from Australia to the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
All that is needed is to refuse to issue a document to a person who travels backwards and forwards to and from the United Kingdom where he lectures. [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…]
Over 90% of the world’s population lives in countries using the metric system, and countries which in recent times have either launched conversion programmes or announced their intention to convert to its use include the United Kingdom, South Africa, Pakistan, Eire, New Zealand and Canada. [More…]
The Kingdom of Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, France, the Kingdom of Laos, the People’s Republic of China, the State of Vietnam, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom and the United States were represented at that conference. [More…]
Australia Pty Ltd, which in turn in wholly owned by the David Brown group; Hawkerde Havilland (Australia), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawker-Siddeley in the United Kingdom; Vickers Australia Ltd, which is wholly owned by Vickers in the United Kingdom; and Fleet Forge Pty Ltd, in Melbourne, agents for the New York based naval architects, McCullin and Co. [More…]
However, the undermentioned payments to the sterling area and non-sterling area would be predominantly for material of United Kingdom and United States of America origin respectively. [More…]
1 considered that we were suffering, if that is the right word, from the fact that we are an English speaking country and that both the United Kingdom and the United States of America have nourishing film industries in the English language and that, therefore, a country with u population the size of ours and with the need to develop in so many directions could not possibly afford to develop this industry in competition with either the United Kingdom or the United States of America. [More…]
Because of quotas operating in the United Kingdom and the United States of America anil shrinking markets in other parts of the world, the prospects of selling this surplus are remote. [More…]
whether it is the present voluntary scheme or a compulsory scheme as proposed by the Labor Party, some agreement has to be reached between the Government and the medical practitioners unless there is to be a nationalisation of medicine as in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I do not think that it is useful to make comparisons with what has happened in the United Kingdom and what would happen under the scheme proposed by the Australian Labor Party because there are essential differences. [More…]
Under a scheme such as is proposed by the Labor Party where a person has to meet none of the cost there is always the great danger - this has happened in the United Kingdom - of over-servicing. [More…]
Chile 6.8%, Sweden 6.2%, Australia 5.8%, and the United Kingdom 4.9%. [More…]
But in my humble opinion that sort of thing - as in the United Kingdom and as in Scandinavia, about which we have heard something this afternoon - contains within itself if not the seeds of its own destruction then certainly the seeds of mediocrity, inefficiency, dissatisfaction and discontent on the part of the people who are served. [More…]
A nationalised health scheme has been operating in the United Kingdom for 25 years, I suppose it must be. [More…]
Furthermore, the United Kingdom has had committees reporting to the Government and setting out to devise ways and means by which the health services - the doctor services and all the rest of them - can be improved, lt has been a matter of very great concern to many people in the United Kingdom that there was so much leeway to be made up over recent years after the scheme had been in operation for a long time, not only in regard to medical services but also in regard to hospital services. [More…]
Not long ago I read a report that was a scathing indictment of hospital services in the United Kingdom in regard to some aspects of medical treatment. [More…]
Bactrin has been tested in the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The drug bactrin has been passed by the Drug Evaluation Com,mittee in the United Kingdom and in the United States. [More…]
I think the pattern of experience in the United Kingdom is that people will use the free hospital and medical services that are available there to an extent of overusage. [More…]
There is undoubtedly a risk of overusage, which has been testified to in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom and France have moved out of deficit and Germany has experienced some loss of reserves. [More…]
Upon Fiji becoming a country within the Commonwealth of Nations following the grant of independence appropriate legislative action would betakento ensure that citizens of Fiji in Australia continue to have the status of British Subjects which they now have by virtue of their being citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies. [More…]
; United Kingdom entering the European Economic Community? [More…]
What steps are being taken to safeguard our rural export interests in the United Kingdom in the circumstances fo which I refer? [More…]
The projected entry or non-entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community is a matter which has been before the eyes of Australia for some years now and which has been constantly under review by this Government. [More…]
They would depend entirely on whether the United Kingdom entered, under what conditions it entered and whether there were any limiting sanctions in relation to this country. [More…]
The optometrists have pointed out that in countries like the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and some parts of Europe optometrical services rendered by legally qualified optometrists are an integral part of health care programmes carried out in those countries. [More…]
The company was principally or predominantly controlled by interests in the United States of America, although a good deal of United Kingdom money had been invested in the venture. [More…]
The 2 main investors in Australia are the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
It makes reference to what has happened in other countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, lt also states: [More…]
These aircraft are coming from Canada, France, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
We were doing that in conjunction with not only our own Government Aircraft Factories but also other companies - notably the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation and the British Aircraft Corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The aircraft industries in countries such as the United Kingdom, France and the United States of America are much better geared to volume production than we could ever hope to be at this stage of our history. [More…]
They were conned into coming to this country on the basis of information given to them verbally at the recruitment centres in the United Kingdom and they found themselves in the intolerable position of purchasing homes close to the factory at Lara and then having to sell them on a depressed market if they desired to continue in the industry by finding work in the metropolitan area or at Hawker de Havilland in Sydney. [More…]
If we get another project by this hit and miss method that the Government is using now we will have to hotfoot it off to the United Kingdom again seeking recruits from the industry in that country and no doubt will tell them the same story that there is continuity of work in this country. [More…]
But when looking around for orders and for further development of that aircraft the United Kingdom Government came to the conclusion that it could not go on with it. [More…]
Not only Senator Devitt and I but also other people will be well aware of the pioneering work done in the United Kingdom in aircraft design and thought and the development of new types of aircraft. [More…]
We had hoped that the agreement with the United Kingdom would help to put the industry in this country back on its feet. [More…]
I recall the honourable senator asking a qi.ies.ion in which he invited the Government to give some consideration to the preparation of a White Paper concerning the proposed entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
I am not quite certain whether a White Paper dealing not with the particular problems facing Australia as a result of such an entry but wilh the effects such an application might have as far as the United Kingdom Government is concerned is not something- [More…]
But before one ascertains the implications to Australia one has to consider the hypothetical entry of the United Kingdom into the Community. [More…]
I think it is highly unlikely, or improbable, that a White Paper could be produced in Australia until a deep study had been made of the United Kingdom’s position. [More…]
The United States will bethe only major trading nation which has not initiated a programme of conversion.I have seen Press reports emanating from the United States of America which makes it clear that the United States will eventually lake the same step as has been taken by the United Kingdom, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia within the last 2 or 3 years. [More…]
We believe that great advantages will flow to Australia, not only internally but externally.I sincerely hope the conversion will operate as smoothly as it is obviously operating in the United Kingdom and South Africa.I believe that with a Board at competent people as provided for in this Bill, and with theco-operation of many other people, including the public of Australia, the conversion can lead Australia into many savings in the future. [More…]
This is in accordance with the practice being adopted in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It pointed out that compensation was not paid in the United Kingdom or in Japan, although some limited compensation was paid in South Africa. [More…]
There have been a number of questions about the possible entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
Senator Lawrie now has suggested that at any discussions between the United Kingdom and countries of the Community, and where it is legitimate for Australia to do so, Australia should have an observer present. [More…]
It would be appreciated, of course - I would assume this to be the case - that when the United Kingdom sat at the table with members of the Community for purposes of negotiation, the discussions would be a matter for the parties only and certainly not something at which outside observers would be encouraged to be present. [More…]
I address a question to the Leader of the Government in his capacity as Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Industry, ls it not a fact that, because of either the lack of desire or the inability of the Egyptian Government to reopen the Suez Canal as an important shipping route, the South African ports of Capetown and Durban have become 2 very important ports in the trade lifeline between the United Kingdom and this part of the world? [More…]
If honourable senators look at the history of the present Government of the United Kingdom, which is rather in the news at this time, they will find that some most dramatic increases and drops have occurred in interest rates in that country. [More…]
Those increases and drops have been in accordance with what the United Kingdom Government considered to be appropriate action to manage the economy of that nation. [More…]
Honourable senators would have noted that as recently as 3 weeks ago the United Kingdom Government was forced to intervene in relation to a pending visit by a touring South African cricket team. [More…]
lt had very sound reasons for doing this because, at the same time as this controversy was taking place in the United Kingdom with the threat of demonstrations that would have seriously upset a tour by such a team, it was faced with holding the Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, lt is true to say that those Games would have been a complete farce if the South African cricket team had entered the United Kingdom to play on this tour. [More…]
The report shows total receipts to the Board of $197,714, against which there is expenditure of S83.940, for Australian administrative expenses, expenditure of $47,884 for administrative expenses in the United Kingdom and expenditure of $91,335 on the development of overseas markets and advertising, making a total expenditure of $223,160. [More…]
The product is exported to the United Kingdom, Canada, the Continent and Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, Central and South America. [More…]
Over 21,000 tons went to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I mention again that Australia supplied 21,664 tons of dried fruits to the United Kingdom in the 1968 season but the total export to Japan was 1,518 tons. [More…]
If one compares this position with the situation in the United Kingdom, one finds that in the United Kingdom 33% of full time male students and 39% of female students are in residence in colleges at universities. [More…]
I must say that in common with the honourable senator I would have some concern about any proposal that an increase in shipping rates to the United Kingdom would be taking place without very, very close and exact scrutiny. [More…]
It was a constant battle in the early days of the United Kingdom, when it was the power of the king and the power of Parliament. [More…]
As Mr Odgers and the Standing Orders Committee in its report prepared for us have reminded us, many legislatures in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and New Zealand have adopted, in ways to suit their own conditions, the committee system. [More…]
Item 20 still requires that suitably equivalent goods also be not available from United Kingdom production. [More…]
The Wool Board has under its control some 280 wool stores which are a legacy of the wool purchasing arrangement between Australia and the United Kingdom which operated during the last World War. [More…]
So, the people of the United Kingdom are to all intents and purposes disenfranchised as far as having any voice on the subject of Britain’s entry into the Common Market is concerned. [More…]
But I repeat that although every political party contesting the United Kingdom general election on Thursday is in favour of Britain’s entry into the Common Market, gallup polls indicate substantial opposition to such a move. [More…]
The report said that there is to be a freight increase - I cannot yet establish whether it is true or not - which would affect goods coming from the United Kingdom to Australia to the extent nf 12% but which would not affect goods going from Australia to the United Kingdom. [More…]
If one looks at this morning’s Australian’ one will see that the shipping freight rates from England to Australia have already been increased by 12% and the shippers are now asking for a 12% increase in shipping freight rates from Australia to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the first quarter of 1970, as against the first quarter of 1969. consumption of merino wool in the United Kingdom feil by 16% while that of man made fibres fell by only 1%. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the consumption of man made fibres fell by 1%. [More…]
Handling costs from the wool grower’s store to the point of entry in the importing country were $28.1.2 for each bale of wool exported to the United Kingdom, 523.83 to Japan and $30.20 to the United States of America. [More…]
This is one of the things wrong in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Has an appraisal been made of the detrimental effects on our dairy, meat, dried and canned fruits and other primary industries, in the event of United Kingdom entry to the European Economic Community. [More…]
What steps are being taken to safeguard our rural export interests in the United Kingdom in such circumstances. [More…]
It is not possible to assess accurately the implications that United Kingdom membership of the European Economic Community will have for Australia’s primary industries until the terms of Britain’s entry are known. [More…]
The negotiations on the United Kingdom’s application tojoin the E.E.C. [More…]
Two hundred and fifty copies were distributed gratis to members of the International Wool Textile Organisation, wool trade organisations in England, some Government libraries in the United Kingdom, the International Wool Study Group and the Commonwealth Secretariat. [More…]
The following countries have constructed power stations fuelled by natural uranium: Canada, West Germany, France, India, Pakistan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Italy. [More…]
Sweden and the United Kingdom have stated that no further natural uranium fuelled power stations are planned for construction at present as part of their national nuclear programme. [More…]
The Australian Atomic Energy Commission sent twenty-two people to the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority several years ago to obtain experience in a number of areas, and for some of them to participate with the U.K.A.E.A. [More…]
Again, we look to assistance that was given in the form of compensation when the United Kingdom devalued its currency. [More…]
They were built upon the basis that their production was oriented towards the need to provide cheap food for the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
Our production was oriented towards the needs of Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Another factor is that the United Kingdom is likely to enter the European Economic Community. [More…]
If and when that happens the dairy products market in the United Kingdom will be lost to us. [More…]
At one time we had a big market in Europe and the United Kingdom for sugar but today that market is failing and eventually it will be lost to us. [More…]
Has an appraisal been made of the detrimental effects on our dairy, meat, dried and canned fruits and other primary industries, in the event of United Kingdom entry to the European Economic Community. [More…]
What steps are being taken to safeguard our rural export interests in the United Kingdom in such circumstances. [More…]
The negotiations on the United Kingdom’s application to join the E.E.C. [More…]
Surely sufficient notice has been given of the more than likely entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
In response to the invitation of the Australian Atomic Energy Commission to bid by 15th June, 14 tenders have been received from 7 organisations in 4 countries, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and the Federal Republic of Germany. [More…]
As a matter of interest, the recent Fulton Committee in the United kingdom, when in 1968 indicating what it thought should be placed within the hands of the Public Service administration, expressed somewhat similar views. [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…]
It is regrettably true that in the United Kingdom there has been unemployment over a period. [More…]
This is not peculiar to the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the past the Indian Ocean has not been of great concern to us as its security has always been guaranteed by the presence of strong military and naval forces from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The announced withdrawal of the United Kingdom forces has brought home to us the vulnerability of this ocean bordered as it is by some of the most populous countries in the world and some countries which are going through great economic, political and social change. [More…]
The United Kingdom decision to withdraw, at the time it was announced by the previous United Kingdom Government, was one for the United Kingdom alone to make. [More…]
Now there has been a change of government in the United Kingdom and some change of policy. [More…]
I do not believe that we can make any long term decisions based on the certainty of a continuing United Kingdom presence. [More…]
Singapore and Malaysia welcomed a continuing United Kingdom presence and now are very concerned at the departure of United Kingdom forces. [More…]
They wish to see, if the United Kingdom does eventually leave the area, as I believe it will, a strong and credible counterveiling force remain. [More…]
We would not do this alone but in conjunction wilh other powers such as the United Kingdom and France, which has some interest in the Indian Ocean area, and perhaps the United States, which is showing an interest in the area although not a very strong one. [More…]
We must always remember that our will to influence people must be based upon our capacity and resources, lt is useless for us to think of exercising a wide ranging influence such as that exercised by the United Kingdom. [More…]
From the figures that I have been able to obtain, the 1697 indirect tax as a percentage of the gross national product, described as factor cost, in Australia was 8.3%; in Sweden it was 46%; in Germany it was 40%; in Denmark it was 36%; in the United .States it was over 30%; in the Netherlands it was 39.5%; in the United Kingdom it was 36.7% and in France it was over 45% and nearly 46%. [More…]

The United Kingdom charge for a Boeing 707, on our calculations, is $676 - not the $591 shown in the letter. [More…]
Mr Deputy President, this Bill is the culmination of some years of discussion which has been going on between the United Kingdom , Government and the Australian Government. [More…]
I believe that the original intention was that 3 members of the board would be appointed by the Commonwealth Government and that 3 members would be appointed by the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
The Opposition believes that the setting up of the telescope will be a very good example of cooperative arrangement between the United Kingdom Government and the Commonwealth Government. [More…]
This Government and previous governments have known for years that the United Kingdom would join the EEC when a Conservative government was returned to power in that country. [More…]
Therefore, this Government is responsible for any retrogression in Australia because of the United Kingdom-EEC alliance. [More…]
The honourable senator has addressed to me a series of questions relating to the increase in shipping freights cm the United Kingdom route. [More…]
Further, the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community could be a blow to an avenue of exodus for our surplus dual purpose grapes. [More…]
That is what happened in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Perhaps Government speakers will explain why Linus Pauling was allowed into Australia in 1964 from the United States of America perhaps to speak on an antiVietnam platform, why General Hugh Hester was allowed in in 1967 from the United States to speak on an anti-Vietnam platform, why Doctor Connor Cruise O’Brien was allowed in in 1968 from Ireland to speak on such a platform, why Felix Green was allowed in in 1968 from the United Kingdom to speak on such a platform, and why Professors Schiller and Whittaker were allowed in in 1969 to speak on anti- Vietnam platforms, and yet Mr Dick Gregory has been prevented from entering Australia in 1970. [More…]
Other countries such as the United Slates, the United Kingdom and Canada would allow persons such as Mr Gregory to enter their countries, yet it is becoming the norm for Australia to refuse entry to such persons. [More…]
The amazing fact is that during the long period to which I have just referred more people of the kind who could perhaps be described as non-conformists were allowed to enter the United States and United Kingdom than were allowed to come here. [More…]
The House of Commons in the United Kingdom does not adopt a system of placing questions without notice on the notice paper, but it has a very broad system in relation to the asking of questions on notice. [More…]
Whether the situation in India or in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom is better than our own system is something which could bc looked at by the Standing Orders Committee. [More…]
I mentioned the spate of strikes in the United Kingdom and what was described as a boom year for strikes. [More…]
If we come back to a consideration of the position in Australia we find that we are in much the same position as that in the United Kingdom. [More…]
New Zealand and the United Kingdom had been referred to at that meeting and there seemed to me to be a great disparity between the conditions which exist in those countries and the conditions which exist in Australia. [More…]
I spoke a long while ago - I think 3 years ago - on my personal belief that the time had come for a study of direct and indirect rates and that there was some justice in following the more advanced countries of Europe and the United Kingdom in looking at the indirect tax scale because it provided an opportunity for the taxation burden to be shared more equitably. [More…]
France, Italy, West Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom have a figure of 3.5 per cent. [More…]
There was a 39 per cent increase in France, Italy and Sweden; a 30 per cent increase in the United Kingdom; a 28 per cent increase in New Zealand; and a 23 per cent in Germany and Australia. [More…]
Has his attention been directed to the plea made to the British Prime Minister by representatives of our fruit canning industry for safeguards for Australian canned fruits exports to the United Kingdom in the negotiations now under way for Britain’s entry into the European Common [More…]
Is it a fact that the United Kingdom currently purchases canned fruits from us to the value of stg 14m or $A30m a year, and that the loss of this market would be disastrous for our canned fruits industry? [More…]
Is it a fact that European Common Market tariffs and duties would lift United Kingdom retail prices for Commonwealth canned fruits by 50 per cent, rendering our produce totally uncompetitive with European duty free canned fruits? [More…]
Faced wilh the possibility that the United Kingdom may enter the European Economic Community Australia will in the future have greater difficulties than it now has in disposing of its products. [More…]
As I read the facts, countries like Sweden, Germany, Denmark, the United States of America, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France have shown a tendency, in the gathering of revenue, to move towards the principle of indirect taxation, the principle of the user paying the tax. [More…]
The Government has been deceptive in the extreme in failing to advise not only our primary producers but all other people in the country of the consequences of the loss of our traditional markets in the United Kingdom after the inevitable entry of that country into the European Common Market. [More…]
The United Kingdom is an example. [More…]
Japan has become a very big market for Australia and has replaced the United Kingdom as far as our exports are concerned. [More…]
This charge is well below the charge which is imposed by the Corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The service connection fee in the United Kingdom has risen from $A43 to SA54 whereas the fee in Australia is to increase from $30 to $40. [More…]
Once again the charge in Australia is well below the charge which is imposed by the Corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
If one further examines the situation in the United Kingdom one will find that its postal service lost $A37m in 1969-70. [More…]
A significant point I wish to make is that if we were to work on the same basis and with the same returns as the Corporation in the United Kingdom we would find that we would have to increase our charges greatly in order to obtain the same returns on the capital invested. [More…]
In other words, the users of postal and telegraph services in Australia would have to pay amounts far in excess of what they are paying at present for the services provided if the results of the operations of the Corporation in the United Kingdom in its infancy are any guide. [More…]
Senator Gair could be correct because the Post Office in the United Kingdom was inaladministered for so many years. [More…]
The postage rate in the United Kingdom is to increase from 4.5c to somewhere in the vicinity of 6.3c; in Germany it is 7.3c; in Canada it is5c. [More…]
Senator Milliner mentioned the Ambassador College, an associate member of the world wide Church of God, which was forced to go to the United Kingdom to print its publications which are sent to India. [More…]
Now not only are the publications posted from the United Kingdom but they are published and printed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Instead of the Government achieving that, it will drive businesses out of here and to other countries such as New Zealand, Singapore or the United Kingdom. [More…]
The postage charged for the ‘Readers Digest’ in the United Kingdom is 5.4c; in Australia 5c. [More…]
The postal charge for ‘Time’ in the United Kingdom is 5.4c: in Australia 5c. [More…]
Honourable senators will recollect that in 1967 I raised this matter and dealt with it rather extensively on information that I sought and obtained with regard to the changes that had been taking place in the postal services of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think his answer was taken by everybody to be a criticism of the United Kingdom representation in Peking and whether it is performing a useful function. [More…]
I ask the Minister: Is it not a fact that the Australian Government and the Australian Department of Trade and Industry have frequently used United Kingdom representation in Peking to facilitate the present trading arrangements of the Australian Government with Red China, by which various officials of the Commonwealth Trading Bank and the Commonwealth Department of Trade and Industry have visited Red China, been welcomed there and arranged certain trade deals in respect of wheat and other commodities? [More…]
Is it also a fact that most recently the Australian Government used the United Kingdom representation in Peking to ascertain the whereabouts of an Australian, Francis James, and sought the good offices of the United Kingdom for Australian purposes? [More…]
Therefore, in every modern society - in West Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States of America or Australia - governments are forced to seek the bulk of their revenue from consumer taxation. [More…]
Can the Minister explain how, in the wake of a much tighter screening of migrants from the United Kingdom, Mrs Biggs appears to be receiving special solicitude when financially she is fairly affluent due to her proceeds from a syndicated article capitalising on the exploits of her husband which resulted in the death in a much less affluent state of a British locomotive engine driver? [More…]
Why should the application of Mrs Biggs receive more sympathy from the Department of Immigration than another United Kingdom deportation dispute in which the Department is embroiled which is based on an affair of the heart’ issue? [More…]
In view of the suggestion that the Commonwealth Government may enter into a contract, perhaps a long term contract, for the sale of wheat to the United Kingdom, will the Minister for Commerce and Agriculture give an undertaking that no commitments for the sale of wheat, which represents the livelihood of our wheat growers, will be made without first securing the fullest advice of the Australian Wheat Board on all aspects of the proposals, as the sale of substantial parcels of wheat without the full knowledge and advice of the Board would represent a complete negation of the purposes for which it was established and render utterly valueless the placing of a majority of growers on the Board? [More…]
We have heard from Senator Poyser from Geelong, a great authority on this subject about rural industries, about the European Economic Community and about the sugar industry, lt is a matter for the United Kingdom whether it enters the European Economic [More…]
Let us understand one thing and understand it clearly: The historical basis for Australia’s rural industries was the production of cheap food for the United Kingdom and Europe. [More…]
If the United Kingdom enters the Common Market it will enter on the conditions laid down by the European Economic Community. [More…]
If the United Kingdom enters it will have to take these products from the European Economic Community. [More…]
The Commonwealth Government has done all it can to point out to the United Kingdom and the countries of the European Economic Community the position which will be faced by the rural producers of Australia if the United Kingdom enters the European Economic Community. [More…]
Has the Postmaster-General noted reports in the Melbourne Press that Australian troops in Vietnam will be able to ring home at rates of $10.80 per 3 minutes plus $3.60 for each additional minute; if so, are these rates correct and why do they compare so unfavourably with rates to United Kingdom, $7.50; Canada and United States of America from $6.09 to $10.80; and Hong Kong and South Africa, $7.50. [More…]
These are the figures that I have been able to obtain and they are interesting: The figure for the United Kingdom is 36.3 per cent; for the United States of America it is 32.3 per cent; for Canada it is 30.9 per cent; and for Australia it is 25.4 per cent. [More…]
As firefighters in countries such as New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada have full recognition as a national industrial organisation, does the Minister feel that it would be acceptable to the union and perhaps in the public interest if some legislative action were taken to correct this anomaly? [More…]
In the Estimates debate for the last 2 years, and again this year, I have commented on the fact that the Government was still making devaluation payments when obviously it was well known to all producers and all manufacturers that there had been a change in the value of sterling in the United Kingdom and now of the dollar. [More…]
A survey conducted by the Associated Industrial Consultants Ltd, which is a member of the Imbucon Group of the United Kingdom, shows that in the period from 1963 to 1969 the rise in the cost of living index in Australia was 20 per cent, compared with Japan, for example, where it was 39 per cent, and the United Kingdom where it was 29 per cent. [More…]
1 will leave Japan aside and take the United Kingdom where the rise was 29 per cent. [More…]
In 1969 the rate of increase in the United Kingdom was 5.4 per cent, in France it was 6.4 per cent, in the Netherlands it was 7.4 per cent, and in Japan in 1970 it was 7.7 per cent. [More…]
These products now all enter the United Kingdom free of duty as a right under our trade agreement with Britain. [More…]
It has been a tradition in which we have had a trust with our mother country, that as part of the British Commonwealth, and previously part of the British Empire, we would be given a preference, as we have given a preference to the United Kingdom over the years. [More…]
Now, on top of that, we have this action by the United Kingdom. [More…]
I believe that we should have been given an opportunity over the last 5 years to phase out our exports to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I believe that we have been sold short, in spite of our long association with the United Kingdom. [More…]
I believe we should send a special delegation to the United Kingdom to ask for time to readjust our economy, to allow our farmers to diversify, if possible, away from the commodities which are affected. [More…]
We have been supplying sugar to the United Kingdom at a subsidised price for years. [More…]
In view of the serious barriers which will be raised against the import of Australian agricultural products into the United Kingdom, which have been estimated to be to the extent of $200m, I ask: Does a threat not exist to the very basis of GATT as a consequence of the proposed action? [More…]
This is not directed at the Australian scene as much as it is at the scene in the United Kingdom, particularly at Tilbury. [More…]
In the United States 98 per cent of urban homes are sewered; United Kingdom 98 per cent; West Germany 94 per cent; Canada 97 per cent: France 94 per cent; New Zealand 92 per cent; Sweden 88 per cent; the Netherlands 83 per cent; and Australia a mere 70 per cent. [More…]
I hope the Government does not take the United Kingdom decision lying down. [More…]
Italy had a decrease of 6 per cent, Netherlands 13 per cent, United Kingdom 11 per cent, United States of America 19 per cent and Germany 8 per cent. [More…]
I refer, for instance, to Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Germany. [More…]
This was a joint scheme between Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom and it involved formal agreements between the four governments. [More…]
In that question J drew the Minister’s attention to the possibility of a parallel between the complaint to the European Commission on Human Rights concerning 25 Asians in East Africa who possess British passports but were denied entry into the United Kingdom and the denial of entry right to mainland Australia of. [More…]
Do the appropriations in respect of these items reflect the thinking of the Government that there will be a reduction in the number of migrants coming to Australia from the United Kingdom this year? [More…]
The honourable senator pointed out that the appropriation for item 01 - United Kingdom-Australia Assisted Passage Agreement - Passage and associated costs - is $20,221,000 as compared with an actual expenditure last financial year of $23,521,61.5. [More…]
The United Kingdom-Australia Assisted Passage Agreement - Passage and associated costs - item relates to assisted passages under the United Kingdom-Australia Assisted Passage Agreement and the associated costs involved for passages of assistant welfare and information officers and official chaplains on ships. [More…]
In addition, the Government of the United Kingdom contributes $Stg150,000 per annum. [More…]
1 ask the Leader of the Government: What does the Government propose to do about the current increases being applied in freight rates in relation to Australian exports to the United Kingdom and also about the now threatened increase by Overseas Containers Ltd that freight rates will be increased during the current year to a yet higher level than the rates now applying, which have already been subject to recent increases of between 4 per cent and 10 per cent? [More…]
I also ask: What will the Government do about the request by that body that the subject matter should be put to the Trade Practices Commission to see to what extent some control might be exercised, in view of the fact that now the Australian Shipping Commission is part of the AustralianUnited Kingdom conference, to see that Australian producers get a fair go? [More…]
I appreciate that this may mean that the old pattern of having consolidated statutes as of 1936 or 1950 will be superseded by a system which is gaining currency in, I think, Victoria and the United Kingdom whereby regularly consolidated individual statutes are being produced. [More…]
The latest disability is that a number of overseas organisations, including United Kingdom organisations, are now buying up the vineyards. [More…]
As a guide however, for the year ended30th June 1970 the range of prices quoted for rutile, zircon, ilmenite and monazite concentrates in the United Kingdom and the United States of America are shown in the following table. [More…]
What progress has been made in negotiations regarding the retention of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement with the United Kingdom, in the light of recent discussions concerning Britain’s entry into the Common Market. [More…]
The terms of the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement provide for the modification of the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Agreement after 1974 inthe event of British entry to the European Economic Community. [More…]
An overall picture of the metric position in other countries has been obtained through visits made by the Chairman and Executive Member of the Board to South Africa, Kenya, United Kingdom, France, Canada, United States of America, Japan and New Zealand. [More…]
The nations that abstained were Australia, France, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
The Bill will give effect to 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 Act 1957. [More…]
The .United Kingdom Cheques Act has had. [More…]
Before action was taken by the United Kingdom Government to introduce a Dill a private member’s Bill, was introduced which, wilh 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 res u 1 1 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, lt 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…]
In today’s Press the Minister for Health is reported as stating that the banning of cigarette advertising on television has had no effect in diminishing the smoking habit in the United States of America or the United Kingdom. [More…]

[More…]
Indeed, our attention would probably be drawn to the attitude of the recent Labour Government in the United Kingdom which demonstrated its complete inability to control inflation. [More…]
He tried to blame the previous government for the mess that the United Kingdom was in. [More…]
Price and wage control has been abandoned in the United Kingdom. [More…]
A Labour government in the United Kingdom - I am not criticising it - was faced with the complete failure of its policy because of rapid price increases. [More…]
They will continue to be imposed when the British arrangements are concluded, lt is estimated that $200m worth of Australian exports to” Europe and the United Kingdom are at risk following Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community. [More…]
There has been a lot of publicity in more recent times in relation to the proposed entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
For example, we have been reading that the United Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer has been in negotiation with the Ministers of the European Economic Community in relation to the financial aspects of British entry. [More…]
It would therefore be incorrect to draw the conclusion that if the Black Arrow project should be cancelled in the United Kingdom the Woomera range would be seriously affected. [More…]
It is not without significance that very recently an official approach was made by the United Kingdom Government - and I had discussions on the matter while I was in London - for an extension of the present joint project agreement which is due to expire in 1972. [More…]
This suggests a certain measure of confidence on the part of the United Kingdom Government and the continuing need for facilities at Woomera. [More…]
Does the Minister see a parallel between the complaint to the European Commission on Human Rights concerning 25 Asians inEast Africa who possess British passports but were denied entry into the United Kingdom and the denial of entry rights to mainland Australia of indigenous citizens of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea. [More…]
Also it is a continuation of the age long battle for superiority of the executive over Parliament or the Parliament over the executive, the lower house, the upper mass news media I see it is spoken of as being some new phenomenon, but if we look at the history of parliamentary government throughout the world - in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and all other countries with parliamentary governments - there has always been a battle between Parliament and the executive. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Birmingham Education Authority has developed one of the leading research centres in the area of the English language and communication. [More…]
Under the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement we sold 335,000 tons to the United Kingdom, and under a particular quota we sold to the United States 165,000 tons. [More…]
It was also pointed out that for a programme to commence in Australia late in 1971 it was advisable that the United Kingdom’s agreement in principle be obtained by August 1970 and that an indication of United Kingdom support be received in Australia by 1970. [More…]
No further approaches have been made and the United Kingdom authorities have not officially raised the matter with my Department. [More…]
An invitation was sent to air forces in various countries including Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States to send representatives to the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Royal Australian Air Force. [More…]
Was a secret agreement entered into by the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada in November 1945 known as the Quebec Agreement? [More…]
With regard to sugar, devaluation compensation will be paid on sales from the 1971 season’s production made to the United Kingdom as negotiated price sugar under the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement. [More…]
No compensation will be payable on exports of sugar to the United Kingdom and to New Zealand ‘free’ market or on the preference element of such exports from 1971 season’s production unless these ‘free’ market returns as a whole are below pre-devaluation levels. [More…]
In addition, compensation will be paid on exports of currants exported from Western Australia to the United Kingdom in 1968. [More…]

I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether Australia is a party to a secret agreement between the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada for co-operation in military research and development? [More…]
However, I am quite sure that my predecessor would have been aware that cigarette advertising on television has been banned in the United States since the beginning of this year, in the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, and is also banned in Canada. [More…]
For example, although cigarette advertising on television has been banned in the United Kingdom for 5 years it is not clear that there has been in that country any decrease in the consumption of cigarettes, because the tobacco industry has been able to exploit alternative methods of advertis ing to offset the ban on television advertising. [More…]
By way of preface I refer to an earlier request by me for a statement by the Prime Minister on the full effects on Australians entering the United Kingdom of the British Immigration Bill. [More…]
What is the normal method by which apples and pears are sold on the United Kingdom, European and Asian markets. [More…]
Are there any specific differences in the types of contracts negotiated between Australian exporters of apples and pears and Asian buyers as compared with United Kingdom or European buyers. [More…]
In the United Kingdom and European markets normal methods of disposal of apples and pears are by forward sale, sale afloat, free consignment, or on consignment against a guaranteed advance from an importer. [More…]
Approximately 60 per cent of apples and pears are forwarded on consignment or against a guaranteed advance to the United Kingdom and European markets. [More…]
Forward sale contracts for the United Kingdom and Europe differ from Asian contracts to the extent that the former would often cover a range of varieties of broader specifications probably shipped on more than one vessel. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries there are reports of alarming increases in the number of reported crimes in proportion to the population. [More…]

My question, which is directed to the Minister for Supply, refers to the Woomera rocket range and the existing joint United Kingdom- Australia Project Arrangement which expires in 1972. [More…]
I ask the Minister: Is the current visit to Woomera by a House of Commons technical committee directly related to any decision which the United Kingdom might make in connection with the Arrangement, or is the visit likely to result in an increased workload at Woomera and the Weapons Research Establishment facility in Adelaide? [More…]
I would say that the visit of this United Kingdom delegation has not a direct realtionship to the continuation of the joint Arrangement between that country and Australia. [More…]
During my recent visit to the United Kingdom and before I became ill I had an opportunity to have discussions with the Minister for Technology in relation to a renewal of the Arrangement. [More…]
I am very happy about the visitation because I think that the more United Kingdom parliamentarians who see Woomera and gain an appreciation of what is being done there the better. [More…]
However, I do not see any difficulties in relation to the continuation of our agreement with the United Kingdom in the joint project. [More…]
One can only say that the experience in the United Kingdom is that the money that was spent on advertising before the ban came into force has been utilised in other ways such as a coupon system. [More…]
The honourable senator, as well as the Senate, will be aware of the intensive study that has been’ given to the subject of industrial disputes by the Donovan Committee and a committee comprising lawyers of the Conservative Party in England, and also the provisions of the Industrial Relations Bill in the United Kingdom that have been the subject of intense parliamentary contest for the past 2 months. [More…]
For instance, the proportion of the population of Sweden over 65 years of age is 12 per cent; of the United Kingdom it is 11 .9 per cent; of Norway it is 1 0.9 per cent; of West Germany and Denmark it is 10.6 per cent; and of the Netherlands it is 9 per cent. [More…]
The first relies on the accumulation of a fund built up over a number of years before benefits are paid out, such as in Sweden and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Is the rumour true that the British Government has sent a telegram to the Australian Prime Minister indicating its wish to have 2 Aboriginals included in the Australian cricket team when it next tours the United Kingdom? [More…]
I would add only that in years when weather conditions have caused some wheat to be ‘inferior’ it has been sold to many markets, including large quantitiesto the United Kingdom, for feed purposes. [More…]
The wage increases that are being granted in the United Kingdom and on the continent of Europe are far in excess of what the Government has become panicky about here, ft is just laughable to read all the nonsense that is being put out by Government spokesmen who talk about the tremendous increase in wages here when one looks at the increases that even the Government of the United Kingdom is prepared to grant to its employees and at the increases that are being given in private industry in most of the rest of the world. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, the figure was 2 per cent. [More…]
In Canada it was 4.2 per cent; in the United Kingdom 4.7 per cent; in France 4.6 per cent: and in Japan 5.4 per cent. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it was 5.4 per cent. [More…]
by leave -I wish to inform the Senate that the Minister for Defence (Mr Gorton) left on 12th April to represent Australia at the Five Power Ministerial Conference in London on 15th and 16th April and to hold talks with Ministers and defence officials in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Is it a fact that in 1968 the South African Government refused to accept in South Africa a visiting team of cricketers representing the United Kingdom? [More…]
Other countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States of America, India and Australia, have also been approached for various kinds of assistance. [More…]
Notwithstanding a very comprehensive reply I received from the Prime Minister outlining the Commonwealth Government’s interpretation of the status of Australian citizens under the new United Kingdom Immigration Bill, will the Minister now say that the recent action of Enoch Powell in having a British parliamentary committee delete the patrial clause makes much of the Prime Minister’s advice null and void? [More…]
Can we have a further assurance that the Australian High Commissioner in London will maintain close liaison with the United Kingdom Home Secretary and request retention of the patrial clause. [More…]
Our own kinsmen in the United Kingdom were among the first in the last 20 years and after the Korean War to recognise the People’s Republic of China, or Red China as it is sometimes called. [More…]
The United Kingdom sent a legation to Peking, but the People’s Republic of China did not even acknowledge its presence. [More…]
For the last 20 years there has not been a United Kingdom ambassador in Peking. [More…]
The United Kingdom representative has been sitting there as a charge d’affaires, unacknowledged and unaccepted for 20 years. [More…]
Among the Commonwealth countries which recognise the Peking Government, the government of the People’s Republic of China, are Canada, Ceylon, ‘ Ghana, India, Kenya, Mauritius, Nigeria, Pakistan,- Tanzania, the United Kingdom and Zambia. [More…]
All it took were those areas which were in dispute, areas which had been recognised by governments of the United Kingdom in the 19th century as being part of China. [More…]
The Right Honourable Lord Shawcross, Q.C., a former Attorney-General of the United Kingdom, in an article published in 1966, expressed it thus: [More…]
A committee of English lawyers, amongst whom were the Right Honourable Sir Derek Walker-Smith, Q.C., M.P., and Mr Charles Doughty, Q.C., has quite recently expressed the same opinion concerning the law in force in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The committee recommended that the law in the United Kingdom should be revised in order to simplify and clarify it, to help the authorities in maintaining order and to give participants in assemblies a greater understanding of their legal rights and liabilities. [More…]
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 3394 in the reign of Richard II, and in laws of the States and Territories. [More…]
In 4 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 Bill will repeal the existing United Kingdom, State and Territory offences of taking part in an unlawful assembly, rout and riot, so far as those laws affect the Territories, Commonwealth premises and diplomatic and consular premises and personnel. [More…]
Is Australia a party to a secret agreement between the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada for co-operation in military research and development; if so, who signed the agreement on behalf of Australia. [More…]
and (2) There is an agreement at the Defence level between the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada, known as the Technical Co-operation Programme’. [More…]
The programme was one of the ‘Whicker’s Walkabout’ series, which was not produced by the ABC, but by Yorkshire Television Ltd, and shown widely in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Senator Wright went on further to quote a distinguished member of the Labor Party, the right honourable Lord Shawcross, Q.C., a man who was Attorney-General of the United Kingdom under Mr Attlee and the British prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials. [More…]
to point out in good faith errors or defects in the Government or Constitution of tha United Kingdom or of any of the King’s Dominions or of the Commonwealth as by law established, or in legislation, or in tha administration of justice, with a view to the reformation of such errors or defects; [More…]
As honourable senators will recall the Minister’s speech, the present law is found partially in the common law and partially in old United Kingdom statute law of considerable antiquity, dating back to riot legislation of 1394 in the reign of Richard II. [More…]
For nearly 40 years the Tariff Board, in recommending protection, has had only 2 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 the United Kingdom industry full opportunity for reasonable competition on the basis of the relative costs of ‘economic and efficient’ production. [More…]
Advertising on television has been banned in Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, - France, Italy, Scandinavia, Russia and - this will appeal to the Government- the US also. [More…]
There is no restriction, other than the restriction imposed by laws made by the Parliament or the applicable common law transposed from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
In order to consider those two aspects perhaps we should look to what was said by Lord Denning, one of the great law reformers in the United Kingdom, a judge very well known for his liberal and reforming zeal, in relation to this particular matter. [More…]
In every other State, in the Territories of the Commonwealth and in the United Kingdom, there are at least 3 Acts dating from 1394, 1411 and 1414 plus a variety of other legislation that has come down through the centuries, all still applying and all still able to be used. [More…]
But it is manifesting itself not only here but also in the United States of America, the United Kingdom, many parts of Europe and even in Japan, where the youth are protesting against their lack of national purpose and their lack of something in which to believe and for which to strive. [More…]
Has the attention of the Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Industry been drawn to a paragraph in a leading article in an Australian newspaper of today’s date to the effect that there are justifiable fears in the minds of the Japanese Government and of exporters that any foothold they have established in a particular segment of the Australian market can be capriciously closed by Australian vested interests - often United States or United Kingdom owned companies - and the closure justified on the spurious ground of balanced development? [More…]
Ceylon devalued its currency, in line with the United Kingdom devaluation on 21st November, 1967. [More…]
The Shipbuilding Act 1967 guarantees loans for all types of vessels over 100 gross tons built in United Kingdom shipyards. [More…]
The United Kingdom has operated a system of annual import quotas on butter since 1st April 1962. [More…]
For the 1970-71 quota year United Kingdom imports of Australian butter are expected to be 55,730 tons. [More…]
In normal circumstances, the industry has no difficulty in filling its United Kingdom quota.. [More…]
As for overseas travel, the Permanent Head of the Department went to the United Kingdom, France and Canada and was accompanied by one officer who went to the United States of America and to Canada. [More…]
The Director of the Bureau of Transport Economics went to the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. [More…]
First of all, the Minister advised me this morning of the details of the subsidy payments that are made by the United Kingdom Government to British fishermen and some details of subsidy payments that are made by the Japanese Government to Japanese fishermen. [More…]
Indeed, so far as the United Kingdom Government is concerned, it would appear to me that subsidy is substantial. [More…]
I emphasise what the Minister already told me about subsidies paid by the United Kingdom Government to British fishermen and by the Japanese Government to Japanese fishermen, compared with the paucity of assistance given by the Australian Government to Australian fishermen. [More…]
When you realise that the United Kingdom Government is subsidising its fishermen and that we are importing from that country some $6.5m worth of fish each year, that we are also importing each year from Japan some S9m worth of fish, you can see how difficult it is for the Australian fishermen. [More…]
The information I have is that additional funds are required to meet the rescheduling of accounts to be received from the United Kingdom and United States government authorities. [More…]
There are 19 consuming members of the current Agreement including Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Canada. [More…]
It is the right honourable Lord Shawcross, Q.C., a former Labour Attorney-General of the United Kingdom, and a very distinguished member of Parliament and of his profession. [More…]
In the House of Commons in the United Kingdom this would be a common method of dealing with such an important Bill. [More…]
My second point is that Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson was good enough to give me a very lengthy statement on our attitude to the United Kingdom Immigration Act. [More…]
Does our Government propose to ask the Government of the United Kingdom to send home to Australia doctors who qualify over there because their services are required in their own country? [More…]
In the past, we have had to recruit people with the necessary qualifications from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am aware that there have been problems recently with regard to the importation into Australia of bloodstock purchased in the United Kingdom. [More…]
However, delay has arisen first because it is very difficult to get direct shipment from the United Kingdom to Australia and, secondly, because the usual means of bringing horses to Australia through the Panama. [More…]
The Department of Supply has a licensing agreement with the Doxford and Sunderland Shipbuilding and Engineering Co. Ltd, United Kingdom for engines up to 22,500 horsepower and with Sulzer Bros, Winterthur, Switzerland for engines to 48,000 horsepower. [More…]
The Governments of the United Kingdom and of the People’s Republic of China have recognised each other since 1950, and offices headed by Charges d’Affaires are maintained in the respective capitals. [More…]
of the Bill, which does not in any way at all introduce some novel principle of law enforcement and is a common matter dating back many centuries and is well known in the law of the United Kingdom and of every State of Australia. [More…]
I spoke earlier of the fact that those words are incorporated in the codes of 3 of the States of the Commonwealth; they are incorporated in the common law of the United Kingdom; they are incorporated through the common law into the law of the other 3 States of the Commonwealth; and they are included in the draft criminal code prepared by the Law Council of Australia, which, if Senator Wheeldon wishes to look it up, is Parliamentary Paper No. [More…]
We have dealt with every State of the Commonwealth of Australia and we have dealt with the United Kingdom; so let us have a look at Canada. [More…]
Because it seems that sufficient precedent is not to be found in the laws of the States of Australia, the draft territorial code, or the laws of Canada and the United Kingdom, I thought I would look at the laws of New Zealand also. [More…]
lt is common also to the United Kingdom, to Canada and to New Zealand. [More…]
Tonight we heard Senator Rae say that these words are used in laws in each State, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. [More…]
I think there is a fairly general pattern in Australia, although probably the honourable senator could justify his position more readily in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is something which has been known in the law of Australia, the law of the United Kingdom and the law of most of the other Commonwealth countries. [More…]
The consent of the Attorney-General is required in the United Kingdom, for instance, in the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829; the Public Health Act 1875; the Geneva Convention Act 1911; the Agricultural Credits Act 1928; the Public Order Act 1936 - I emphasise that Act because it has some relevance to this debate; the Public Utilities Street Works Act 1950; and the Rivers (Prevention of Pollution) Act 1951. [More…]
Again I simply cite those Acts as an example of where the Director of Public Prosecutions in the United Kingdom is the person who has the role of deciding whether a prosecution should proceed. [More…]
In the Income Tax Act in the United Kingdom the consent of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue is required before a prosecution is instituted. [More…]
The Government’s financial arrangements for the dairy industry for 1970-71 were based on production levels of 220,000 tons for butter and 70,000 tons for cheese and it is disappointing that due to poor seasonal conditions, Australia has been unable to fulfil its United Kingdom butter quota for 1970-71 and to take full advantage of opportunities offering in other markets due to the sudden change in the world market situation for dairy products. [More…]
Was a secret Agreement entered into by the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada in November 1945 known as the Quebec Agreement? [More…]
In his question Senator Cohen had asked whether there was any agreement between the United Kingdom, America and Canada to share chemical and biological warfare research findings. [More…]
There is an agreement at defence level between the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada known as the Technical Cooperation Programme. [More…]
People in New Zealand who are well informed on this matter have been making comments to the effect that the public of the United Kingdom will not agree to the United Kingdom entering the Common Market. [More…]
Whether the price exacted from Britain for going into the Common Market is felt to be worthwhile, is a matter of judgment for the United Kingdom and not for me. [More…]
New Zealand has been active in the United Kingdom pushing its particular case in the areas mentioned by Senator Poyser. [More…]
The United Kingdom enacted legislation for this purpose in 1964. [More…]
In some countries, for example, Canada, the practice is totally prohibited while the legislation of the United Kingdom makes provision for exemptions to be granted in respect of particular classes of goods and exemptions have in fact been granted in respect of 2 classes of goods. [More…]
are virtually the same as those in the comparable provisions of the Resale Prices Act 1964 of the United Kingdom, and they cover the grounds upon which businessmen normally rely when attempting to justify resale price maintenance. [More…]
The United Kingdom is asked to produce $US311m. [More…]
I refer particularly to the page headed ‘International Agreements’ where it states that Qantas carried some 700,000 passengers last year compared with 14 million on United States international airlines, 9 million on United Kingdom airlines, 5 million on French airlines and 3 million each on the Canadian, German, Swiss and Italian airlines. [More…]
Our figure was 700,000 passengers compared with 14 million carried by the United’ States international airlines and 9 million ‘ by the United Kingdom airlines: A number of other countries are mentioned. [More…]
I believe that the Immigration Ministry is the logica] one to take over matters relating to Australians who will go to England now that the United Kingdom has introduced new immigration measures. [More…]
Has the Minister studied a report on page 85 of the ‘London Economist’ of 19th December 1970, that the West German pharmaceutical firm of ChemieGruenenthal and the United Kingdom subsidiary of Distillers Co., both of whom were involved in marketing of the tranquilliser thalidomide are continuing steps to aid the child victims of this drug. [More…]
The Crown is observable and distinguishable in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is accepted in the United Kingdom because the Crown performs a positive role in the constitutional procedures in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Every Minister, whether he be a Minister of the British Labour Party or a Minister of the Conservative Party, which is the present ruling Party in the United Kingdom, observes the dominance and pre-eminence of the Crown as the area of neutrality holding the balance of power in the Parliament in London. [More…]
It is not the Crown which is involved in constitutional government in Australia today, as it is historically understood in the United Kingdom at present. [More…]
It is not the conceptual power of the Crown holding the balance which emerged in the 19th century in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I have in mind particularly the practice in the United Kingdom of appointing Parliamentary UnderSecretaries. [More…]
The United Kingdom, Denmark and Norway are no longer involved. [More…]
In the United Kingdom this has been done for the aircraft industry. [More…]
Despite the fact that the United Kingdom Government years ago cancelled its contract and that the United States Navy also cancelled its contract, the Australian Government has not had the courage to face up to the fact that eventually it will have to decide to do the same thing or, alternatively, if we ever get the aircraft, find ourselves involved more and more deeply in further expenditure on the aircraft and probably the supply of tankers as well. [More…]
The decline of the farming community in the United Kingdom was a remorseless process which went on for nearly 100 years. [More…]
Three or 4 days ago we read with great significance that the United Kingdom Government’s chief representative was completely despondent but this morning we read in the Press that it is almost certain that Bri tain will now enter the EEC. [More…]
Since there is a motion on the Senate Notice Paper concerning the import levy systems being introduced by the United Kingdom, it would seem an appropriate time when this motion comes before the Senate for the honourable senator to raise general matters relating to the future of Australia’s trade with the United Kingdom, particularly in the event of the United Kingdom joining the EEC. [More…]
If no invitation has been received, will the Government press strongly for similar talks to take place between the Minister for Trade and Industry, Mr Anthony, and the United Kingdom Government? [More…]
Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
Reported figures show that gross profit of department stores in the United States is 36 per cent, in the United Kingdom 31 per cent and 29 per cent in Australia. [More…]
In my view these figures show quite clearly that Australian retailing industries operate at a substantially lower rate of mark-up and profit than their American or United Kingdom counterparts. [More…]
There is the position in the United Kingdom where though resale price maintenance has been banned a person has the opportunity to make application for exemption. [More…]
The reason for that is that it is not felt to be the type of practice which ought to have imposed on it the criminal -sanctions of the law It is not made unlawful in the United Kingdom legislation and it is not felt to be a practice of the inherent character which attracts criminal penalties.

I am informed that he felt that the style he uses would be clearer for this provision than was the style which was used in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom under the provisions applying to people who want exemptions .from the ban on resale price maintenance the book trade and the pharmaceutical trade were both exempted As I understand it, the reason why they wee exempted, put very shortly, was thai unless they were given this exemption the result would have been fewer retail outlets. [More…]
These trades were able to satisfy the tribunal in the United Kingdom that this was the position. [More…]
For example, in the United Kingdom, increases in seamen’s wages had been of the order of 40 per cent and in Australia stevedoring costs had increased by over 30 per cent. [More…]
For persons employed under the High Commissioners’ Act who contribute under the Superannuation Act, employment by the United Kingdom Government or in Bodies Corporate established by United Kingdom laws will also be public employment. [More…]
In the event of Britain joining the European Economic Community under the terms agreed upon at Brussels recently, resulting probably in a drastic reduction of exports of primary products from Australia to that country, is it proposed that Australia should continue to import considerable quantities of goods from the United Kingdom, or is it contemplated that these imports, as far as possible, will be placed with countries which will trade with us on a reciprocal basis? [More…]
In view of the statement attributed to the Deputy Prime Minister arid Minister for Trade and Industry on his return from recent discussions on the Common Market in Europe and in the United Kingdom that there does not seem to be very much reaction by way of consideration of Australia’s circumstances either in the United Kingdom or Europe, does the Prime Minister or the Minister for Trade and Industry consider that Australia’s position has been prejudiced by the failure to discover the views of the Parliament on this .matter of such critical importance? [More…]
The truth remains that the United Kingdom Government itself is still in the grip of disputation which is taking place throughout the nation over the proposals for British entry into the European Economic Community and, if I understand the situation, will not take a definitive decision on it until some time in October this year when there will be a special line vote in the House of Commons. [More…]
In the meantime, of course, Australia’s point of view has been put to the United Kingdom by the Minister for Trade and Industry, and not so very long ago. [More…]
If this is so, has it been brought forcibly to the notice of the United Kingdom Government that it defaulted in this undertaking? [More…]
Senator Sir KENNETH ANDERSONIt would not be for me to talk in categorical terms about the negotiations between the United Kingdom Government and the [More…]
It is true - all of us recognise this - that Mr Rippon of Britain came to Australia and expressed views to the Australian Government, and that the Australian Government expressed its views to the United Kingdom Government. [More…]
I repeat that the United Kingdom has not yet entered the European Economic Community. [More…]
Minister representing the Prime Minister allay any existing fears that, as a consequence of the new United Kingdom Immigration Bill and that country’s probable Common Market membership, Australians entering that country in the near future could have less freedom of movement as regards employment in the United Kingdom than citizens of Common Market nations? [More…]
But, as I said in that answer what the British Government decides to do in regard to persons entering the United Kingdom is really a matter for itself, that is its decision. [More…]
Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community without appropriate arrangements for Papua New Guinea, would mean the loss of preferences in the United Kingdom market and in some cases would erect Community Tariff barriers in their place. [More…]
Following high level discussions by the Deputy Prime Minister with the United Kingdom and Common Market Governments earlier in 1970 the Commonwealth Government arranged for a special Papua New Guinea Delegation to visit London and the capitals of the EEC. [More…]
Vigorous recruitment campaigns are undertaken throughout Australia and, insofar as professional staff are concerned, the United Kingdom. [More…]

The provisions of the draft Ordinance are based on developments that have occurred in the statutory law relating to evidence in the United Kingdom and in the States of the Commonwealth and, except so far as altered by the proposed [More…]
That represents an innovation in this counry applying, as it does, in substance what is part of the law of evidence in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Committee is requested to report from time to time on the operation of Australia’s international trade agreements and the development of trading relations and, in particular, upon (a) the probable consequences to Australia of United Kingdom entry into the European Economic Community and (b) the advantages and disadvantages to Australia of the New ZealandAustralia Free Trade Agreement. [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 European Economic Community, 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…]
This procedure is accepted in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and all Australian States. [More…]
It is true that Senator Mulvihill did ask me a question yesterday relative to the Waterhouse Committee report which was put down in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The ban on the importation of dogs from the United Kingdom which has been in force since 1969 because of 2 cases of rabies in the United Kingdom outside quarantine kennels was lifted on 12th July 1971. [More…]
Before lifting the ban it was necessary to ensure that the United Kingdom could again be regarded as a rabies free country. [More…]
This report, which was received in Australia on 30th June 1971, contained sufficient information on the degree of security in British quarantine kennels and the precautions taken in the United Kingdom against the introduction of rabies to provide my Department with the assurances it was seeking. [More…]
In view of this and the time that had elapsed since the last case of rabies in the United Kingdom it was decided that the ban on the importation of dogs from the United Kingdom could safely be lifted. [More…]
However, because of the seriousness with which Australia views rabies, it was decided to increase from 6 months to 12 months the residency requirement for dogs and cats being sent from the United Kingdom to Australia. [More…]
It is all very well to say that in the United States of America and the United Kingdom the percentage of poverty is a great deal higher, but we should be concerning ourselves with the existence of poverty in this country. [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…]
The position of our trade with the United Kingdom also will alter considerably. [More…]
For a long while it has been a case of speculation whether the United Kingdom might join or be allowed to join the European Economic Community but it seems now that it will be a fait accompli in the near future. [More…]
It has been forcibly brought home to us that we must look for other markets and that the transition period is short - this is the period in which we can adjust our trade with the United Kingdom, the European Economic Community and other areas. [More…]
It is hard for us as a nation to realise that we have had duty free and unrestricted entry for all our products to the United Kingdom since we began exporting. [More…]
For about 150 years we have provided the United Kingdom with large quantities of cheap food of good quality - to our mutual benefit, I might mention - and at the same time we have enjoyed from the United Kingdom protection during our development period. [More…]
We have enjoyed the protection of United Kingdom sea and land power in the period of her greatest glory. [More…]
This leads me to another point: What of our future relations with the United Kingdom? [More…]
Therefore we will have to give consideration to the continuance of our trade with the United Kingdom. [More…]
I was reading about the friction that has developed between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union because of the embassies from Communist countries. [More…]
The writer of the article attributes a lot of the trouble on the Clydeside to agitation coming from embassies in the United Kingdom. [More…]
If costs keep on spiralling and if we are priced out of more and more markets, we will go the same way as the United Kingdom has gone because that is precisely what is wrong with the United Kingdom. [More…]
Many Ministers have gone to the United Kingdom in an attempt to ease the burden and to obtain some alleviation or some time for adjustment, but without success. [More…]
Let us examine the Figures in relation to trade between Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
For many years we bought more goods from the United Kingdom than did any other country on earth. [More…]
Our adverse balance of payments has been about 21 to I in the United Kingdom’s favour. [More…]
lt was about 2i to I in the United Kingdom’s favour. [More…]
If the worse eventtuates - probably it will not - and Australian exports to the United Kingdom are cut off or drastically reduced we should seek our requirements somewhere else. [More…]
The EEC dumped a lot of its increased production on the world market at half the normal price or at a very reduced price, which caused a lot of dislocation, lt is to be hoped that if the United Kingdom enters that federation some idea will be forthcoming which will prevent its entry from being a threat to the countries which most depend on trade for their survival. [More…]
In the United Kingdom taxation represents 30 per cent of the gross national product. [More…]
Firstly, he stated that Home Office figures showed that in the 2 years since capital punishment was suspended in the United Kingdom 67 capital murders had been committed. [More…]
He spoke about the English situation but he failed to compare the rise in crime rates in the United Kingdom during the period to which he related his comments with the rise in crime rates in other countries with a similar type of social and economic development and which have retained capital punishment. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, France and Italy they exceed 3 per cent. [More…]
I remind the Senate of the policy of the United Kingdom Government in particular. [More…]

Can the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration give the Senate any information on the denial of entry to United Kingdom migrant Mrs Moore, with particular reference to the rating of asthma symptoms as a rejection factor? [More…]
This figure agreed with data obtained from similar surveys in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
Such inquiries have been set up in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and several European countries. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the national government even offered a local authority certain sums of money for the soundproofing of homes around an airport. [More…]
According to the records of the International Whaling Commission, countries which are known to have been whaling in one or both of these regions are: Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, U.S.S.R., Netherlands, United States of America, South Africa, Panama, Chile and Argentina. [More…]
Australia spent in 1967, the latest year for which international comparisons are available, only 5.5 per cent of her gross national product on cash social benefits, compared with 15 per cent in the Common Market countries, 11 per cent in Scandinavia, 10 per cent in Canada, Si per cent in the United Kingdom and 6 per cent in the United States.

I ask the Minister representing the Minister for’ Trade and Industry: What current action is being taken by the Government to meet the situation which will arise in relation to Australia’s overseas trade should the United Kingdom enter the European Economic Community? [More…]
Has the Government taken steps to prompt the United Kingdom about the fact that Australia currently purchases twice the cash value of goods from Britain that that country purchases from Australia? [More…]
Not very long ago I put down a statement in this Senate on behalf of the Minister for Trade and Industry which alluded to a number of matters concerning the Australia-United Kingdom trade position, particularly the possible entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
To my own knowledge, having not very long ago been over in the United Kingdom, I know that the Australian view has been pressed most forcibly. [More…]
I know that the figures the honourable senator referred to relating to the particular trade situation between ourselves and the United Kingdom have been pointed out to the British Government and are continually referred to by the various people involved in Australian trade at governmental levels. [More…]
I think he has a very clear understanding of how important this trade with United Kingdom is to us; it is equally true that it is important to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Public tenders were called in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, by the Department of Supply for 16 Vampires ex-RAAF. [More…]
In the United Kingdom in 1957 the Homicide Act brought in some new and quite revolutionary defences to the charge of murder. [More…]
Lord Denning today subscribes to the view which prevails in the United Kingdom against the death penalty. [More…]
The second matter negotiated was not really an agreement as much as a final declaration - an unsigned declaration - of the Geneva Conference, the parties to which were representatives of Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, France, Laos, the People’s Republic of China, the State of Vietnam - I point out to honourable senators that South Vietnam was not recognised in the declaration - the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.

He was a member of the United Kingdom Law Commission’s Advisory Panel on the codification of the law of contract. [More…]
The other matter that I raise, again on this theme of British-Australian relations, is the rather undue silence being maintained by the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) as to our attitude to the future impact of the United Kingdom Immigration Bill. [More…]
There is a report in today’s Melbourne ‘Herald’ that a suggestion was made in the House of Lords that Australians who are in Britain on a permanent business appointment could receive United Kingdom citizenship at the end of 3 years. [More…]
If he looks at the Hansard record of 30th March and 18th August he will be reminded that he was then told that the question of who should be entitled to enter the United Kingdom is a matter entirely for the decision of the British Parliament. [More…]
As far as the Department of Immigration knows, West Germany has not been a source of teachers for New South Wales but the United Kingdom and North America have been. [More…]
Today there have developed in the industry, firstly, freight demands that are very critical; secondly, internal production costs have dwarfed the economy of this primary industry in comparison with the economies of other industries of Australia so as to reduce the apple and pear producer to a level of economy that is not respectable from the point of view of parliamentary performance in relation to other strata of our people; thirdly, the industry is beset with unsurpassed marketing difficulties, accentuated by the probable advent of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
Do future programmes, including those in co-operation with the United Kingdom, New Zealand and other countries, guarantee stability for all these skilled workers? [More…]
Australia captures only 7.3 per cent of the total prescription market in this country, the United States of America 53 per cent, the United Kingdom 10.2 per cent. [More…]
Senator Webster also spoke of the tariff position if the United Kingdom were to enter the European Economic Community and how we would go from a position where we have a slight preference to a position where the preference is against us. [More…]
To that extent it may well be - as was the case in the United Kingdom - that it is not a higher interest rate which is used in the classical method but, in certain instances, a lower interest rate. [More…]

In this latter year, the major sources of imports were Japan, followed by United States of America, United Kingdom and the Netherlands. [More…]
Is the Acting Minister for Immigration satisfied that the screening procedure which was applied to United Kingdom migrants following the Biggs episode has proved effective in the light of the revelation which occurred during the recent Qantas Airways Ltd robbery trial? [More…]
On 16th September 1971 Senator Murphy asked me, as Minister representing the Minister for Education and Science, the following question: ls the Minister representing the Minister for Education and Science aware that Dr Paul Ehrlich is a distinguished Professor of Biology at Stanford University and that a few weeks ago he caine to Australia at the invitation of an international science school which is comprised of students from the United Stales of America, Japan, the United Kingdom as well as young Australian students in science?

Japan took some $16m worth of mutton from Australia whilst the USSR took $9m worth and theUnited Kingdom $6. [More…]
1 direct to the Leader of the Government in the Senate a supplementary question in regard to the effects of the United Kingdom Immigration Bill on Australians. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Industry: Can the Senate be assured that the Government and those government agencies involved in Australia’s export trade are alert to the problems which may confront certain Australian primary industries upon the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community? [More…]
Australian Wine Board which states that Australia will lose more than 90 per cent of its century old United Kingdom wine trade when Britain joins the Common Market next year? [More…]
I would like to deal quickly with the vote that was taken to decide whether the United Kingdom would join the European Economic Community. [More…]
Senator Byrne and I were able to go to Brussels and express our views to people who belong to both sides of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
But Australia did emphasise, and has emphasised, that there will need to be a known transitional or access period during which our trading relations with the United Kingdom will be given special consideration. [More…]
We have told the United Kingdom Government that we need a transitional period in which to adjust to the new situation inherent in that country’s entry. [More…]
Indeed, the United KingdomAustralia Trade Agreement will need to be phased out over a period so that the Agreement can be terminated without hindrance or hurt to Australia or Britain. [More…]
As I have said, the United Kingdom has a very large economic stake in Australia, as indeed she has in some of our neighbours such as Malaysia and Singapore. [More…]
It is significant that the Arrangements came into effect after the date on which the United Kingdom Government decided by resolution of the Mother of Parliaments after the drama of a vote to go into the European Economic Community. [More…]
We had the opportunity to talk to parliamentarians from the United Kingdom and from other nations that are members of the European Economic Community. [More…]
I obtained the clear impression while there that although the United Kingdom desired to enter the Community it was not .coins to enter a closed shop, as it were, but that it was going to make a real contribution to the defence of Europe. [More…]
The clear view was expressed that Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community would strengthen the defence of Europe but never at any stage was it suggested in the United Kingdom - rather it was to the contrary - by those for and against Britain’s entry that Britain’s ties with the Commonwealth ultimately would be given up; that its entry would mean separation from those ties of blood and brotherhood with Commonwealth countries such as Australia and New Zealand. [More…]
They included Denmark; France; Iceland; Ireland; Israel - a country which we are told is under serious threat from the Communist conspiracy but which had no compunction in voting for the Albanian resolution; Italy; the Netherlands; Norway; Sweden; the United Kingdom and Portugal - a remarkable addition to the list. [More…]
I do not believe that Senator Byrne put forward the proposition that the European Economic Community was some form of conspiracy but rather he tried to argue, on a reasoned and logical basis, the import to Australia of the entry of the United Kingdom to the EEC. [More…]
Having said that, 1 wish to concentrate on the great significance of the historic and momentous decision of the House of Commons to take the United Kingdom :i-to the European Economic Community, lt was a decision which was momentous not only to the United Kingdom but also, I suggest, to the world. [More…]
The significance of the entry of the United Kingdom is, I believe, more in the political context than in the economic context. [More…]
It is quite clear from Mr Wilson that he envisaged the entry of the United Kingdom as a means of developing a greater and fuller Europe. [More…]
Mr Heath then went on to mention the great problems that faced the United Kingdom with which the House of Commons concerned itself but which could make little impact upon the world. [More…]
The significance of the United Kingdom decision is that we now see being created in Europe a huge world ‘force, a new super power - indeed, it might be said, a power capable of exercising enormous economic, political and, if need be, military power in the world, lt will be a power equal to, if not greater than, that of the United States, of the Soviet Union, of the People’s Republic China, if it seeks to be a super power, and of Japan. [More…]
The facts of life are that the United Kingdom with 55 million people could not play a part in world affairs, which she herself recognises. [More…]
She is o longer able to exercise a major influence in the world, but there will be with the United Kingdom, Denmark and other countries as part of Europe a community of 255 million people - a population far greater than that of the United States, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or Japan. [More…]
However, 1 believe that the main significance of the entry of the United Kingdom will be to bring into Europe outward looking influences. [More…]
1 believe that a significance of the United Kingdom’s entry will be that Europe - one of the great trading blocs of the world - with outward looking policies will expand as a trading bloc and that it will expand its political influence beyond Europe into the outside world, including the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and in time throughout the eastern areas of the world. [More…]
This is why I have always believed the political aspect of the United Kingdom’s entry to be more important than the economic aspect. [More…]
1 believe that most European countries wanted the United Kingdom as a member of the Community, not for any economic reason but because of the political influence that she would wield - a political influence that would introduce into the Community outward looking influences with regard to the world situation. [More…]
I deplore calamity howling over the United Kingdom’s decision. [More…]
The major issue is the decision by the United Kingdom to enter the European [More…]
The United Kingdom alone has invested $2, 333m in this country in the last 10 years. [More…]
We are in a financial position to withstand some of the problems of adjustment that the United Kingdom’s entry into the European Economic Community, without doubt, will force upon many peoples. [More…]
As honourable senators will know, our trading situation has declined markedly with the United Kingdom, so much so that in 1959-60 we exported 26.4 per cent of our exports to the United Kingdom but today the figure is 11.8 per cent. [More…]
In 1959-60 we imported 35.6 per cent, or one-third, of our imports from the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the last year on record the European Economic Community was a bigger trading partner of this country than was the United Kingdom. [More…]
Our exports to the European Economic Community were greater than those to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Although our dependence on the United Kingdom market has fallen dramatically from 26.4 per cent of our exports to 11.8 per cent of our exports, certain industries will have problems. [More…]
Let us not forget that we have a very favourable preferential tariff arrangement with the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom forces remain east of Suez and we are involved ourselves with other people in defence arrangements. [More…]
The United Kingdom as part of a greater Europe will be in a position to be a stronger friend than it has been in the past. [More…]
I agree with the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson) and the Minister for Civil Aviation (Senator Cotton) that the undertakings entered into by the United Kingdom in this part of the world were given with the very best intentions. [More…]
But I cannot escape the feeling that the dwindling strength of that same United Kingdom makes it arguable whether that could be accomplished. [More…]
I cannot escape the feeling that has been expressed by economists in the United Kingdom and by some members of the Labor Party in that country that because the centralising power in a federation or a confederation of nations, whatever one may call it, is overwhelming, there is the desire and the force to concentrate industries in the nations in the centre. [More…]
Industrial unrest in Britain has been largely responsible for bringing the United Kingdom to the pass in which it finds itself today. [More…]
I noticed a report the other day which indicated that whereas the time lost through strikes in Australia last year increased by IS per cent the figure in the United Kingdom in this respect increased by 60 per cent. [More…]
While entry into the EEC may not be a good thing for the United Kingdom economically and while it may be true, as Mr Wilson says, that the struggle is only just beginning, nevertheless if the guidance is forthcoming politically for the United Kingdom this could have long range effects upon the defence of this country and upon the peace of the world. [More…]
It is to be hoped that the political influence of the United Kingdom amongst the members of the European Economic Community will be such that the EEC can be built into a force in the world that will be a counterpoise to the forces of the two great communist blocs which I and a good many others believe threaten the security of the world. [More…]
Australia for a long time past has had a most adverse trading balance with the United Kingdom. [More…]
But the trading balance between Australia and the United Kingdom is adverse to this country at the ratio of 2:1 or 2i:l. If that lost trade can be replaced and if trade can be encouraged with countries which will trade on a reciprocal basis, the trading relations of our country could gain. [More…]
The United States and the United Kingdom are 2 countries with which Australia has had most adverse trading balances. [More…]
the United Kingdom - readjusted its trade with Australia, in the Iona term Australia could profit bv the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [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 31 per cent in the United Kingdom. [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…]
Does the Prime Minister, in view of the statement attributed to the Minister for Trade and Industry, on his return from recent discussions with European countries and the United Kingdom, that there does not seem to be very much reaction or consideration of Australia’s circumstances either in the United Kingdom or Europe, consider that Australia’s position has been prejudiced by the failure to discover the views of the Parliament on this matter of such critical importance. [More…]
Certainly in the United Kingdom an assurance is given to an industrialist that any information that he provides will be kept secret if he so requests. [More…]
lt was made capable of operation in the form in which it was enacted because of the experience upon which we were able to draw in examining the enactment and the pattern of operation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
think it should be recognised by those who would cynically challenge the Government’s intentions and sincerity that the Australian legislation is more drastic than is the United Kingdom legislation because the Australian legislation bans outright the practice of resale price maintenance and permits the Tribunal to grant exemptions, but only when the case has been proved to the satisfaction of that Tribunal. [More…]
This is not the pattern which prevailed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It has been said that it has twice as many monopolies as the United States and 3 times as many as the United Kingdom. [More…]
I direct the attention of the Minister for Health to a statement made this morning in Sydney by Mr W. Parr, lecturer in charge of courses for teachers of the deaf at the Sydney Technical College, in which he contrasted the overall subsidy planned for hearing aids provided in Scandinavia, Holland and the United Kingdom with the comparatively little or nothing that is provided in Australia. [More…]
Of this, $3, 134m came from the United Kingdom (47.6 per cent), $2,573m (39.1 per cent) from the United Slates and Canada, and $87 1m from all other sources combined. [More…]
For United Slates corporations the attractions that Australia offered were clear from the fact that by the end of 1967 there were only 4 countries in the world - Canada, the United Kingdom, West Germany and Venezuela - where the book value of United States investments exceeded the amount invested in Australia. [More…]
Figures published by the United Kingdom Board of Trade indicate that British direct investments in Australia increased by 65 per cent between 1.960 and 1965. [More…]
The United Kingdom corporate stake in Australia in 1965 was substantially the largest single foreign commitment of British industry. [More…]
As against that, the United States captures 53 per cent of the market, the United Kingdom 10.2 per cent, Germany 6.2 per cent. [More…]
It culminated in 1912 with the first real investigation of the project for the Bell Bay rail link being undertaken by a then world authority on transport, Mr Hunter, who had come from the United Kingdom for that purpose. [More…]
and (3) Sales of butter to markets outside the United Kingdom are made on a trader to trader basis and there are no reliable records of the extent to which overseas orders and enquiries made either direct to private firms or throughthe Australian Dairy Produce Board were filled. [More…]
Butter shipments to the United Kingdom are made by the Board on a consignment basis and not against orders. [More…]
Australia supplied 56,443 tons of butterto the United Kingdom against its import quota entitlement of 67,600 tons for the year ended 31st March 1971. [More…]
Its present contribution to the regular budget is assessed at 31.52 per cent of the whole, in comparison to 14.18 per cent by the Soviet Union, 5.90 per cent by the United Kingdom and 6.0 per cent by France. [More…]
There is the developing method of joint practices; there is the natural instinct for medicos to go overseas in search of higher degrees and to become Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I. would remind them also that if the experience of the major industrial countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America, which preceded Australia into the stagflation club, are any guide, this type of unemployment, unless tackled quickly and thoroughly, tends to become chronic and permanent. [More…]
Statistics show that in 1971 the rate of unemployment in Australia of 1.7 per cent compared more than favourably with that of the United Kingdom at 3.1 per cent, the United States at 6.2 per cent, New Zealand - with a record employment situation - showing only 0.2 per cent unemployed and Canada with 7.1 per cent unemployed. [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…]

As Senator Murphy failed to refer to the fact that the United Kingdom still has not abolished the death penalty for treason or any other military offence, nor has Canada or New Zealand, T must say that I have some strength in suggesting to honourable senators that nothing Senator Murphy has yet adduced to us would advance the acceptance of proposed sub-clause (2.

This has been a contention since the Taff Vale case in 1890, vehemently propounded in the United Kingdom until, by a despicable political compromise in 1906, England gave a partial immunity in this field which Heath’s Government modified and almost abrogated - certainly abrogated last year in respect of all unregistered trade unions.

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 by-laws in the Australian customs tariff. [More…]
The only exceptions will be where preferences are accorded on a range of specified items to those Commonwealth 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…]
When the subsidy was 33$ per cent it was determined on the price of ship construction in a United Kingdom yard; but in the new scale of subsidy, the 45 per cent fluctuating scale, the basis of determination is the world price for ship construction. [More…]
In Swedish and Japanese yards construction is 15 per cent cheaper than it is in the United Kingdom. [More…]
On the surface the subsidy appears to have been increased from 331 per cent to 45 per cent on a fluctuating scale; but because the determination is based now on a world price for ship construction instead of the cost of ship construction in the United Kingdom, the shipbuilding yards could receive less in subsidy. [More…]
Such a plan has been adopted in Canada already, and is being pursued in the United Kingdom, France and Sou. [More…]
It was a significant problem in the United Kingdom. [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 be lacking at this stage. [More…]
Calculated on the population of the United Kingdom, on a pro rata basis 7,500 Australians would be able to work in the United Kingdom each year. [More…]
But 1 make the comment that we should take the parallel perhaps from the United Kingdom which is at present in the midst of major tax reform. [More…]
We should nom that the reforms which were instituted in the 1972 Budget of the United Kingdom were not the result of a present or recent public inquiry but rather they were proposals which had been thought through by the present Government of the United Kingdom. [More…]
They were part of a programme which was presented to the people of the United Kingdom when the present Government was campaigning for election. [More…]
In the United Kingdom wc have the application of a very different taxation system from our own. [More…]
The actual rate for a particular ship was based on the cost of a similar ship built in the United Kingdom, including delivery to Australia. [More…]
It has been signed, subject to ratification, by the Argentine, Belgium, New Zealand, Norway, the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The next in line has always been able to come to the throne at the age of 18 in the United Kingdom, male or female. [More…]
Perhaps it is reasonable to have first past the post voting in the United Kingdom and in the United States because in both countries there is voluntary enrolment and voluntary voting, but to suggest engrafting a first past the post system onto the Australian electorate which has compulsory voting and compulsory enrolment is in my view a phoney suggestion. [More…]
If anyone propounds the argument that we should use the first past the post system which is used within the United Kingdom, and the United States, surely we must adopt the other 2 propositions also. [More…]
I do not think the United Kingdom system ever does reflect the primary vote. [More…]
The general opinion is that there is not likely to be any significant place in the United Kingdom market for Australian butter and cheese in the enlarged EEC. [More…]
The main problem will be to find outlets for butter in the limited markets outside the United Kingdom. [More…]
The new thinking has been applied in the United Kingdom where considerable concessions have been granted, even greater concessions than we have granted here. [More…]
But certainly in the early and middle 1950s we were rather attracted - 1 think the Minister will recall this - to the United Kingdom scheme of abatement on rural properties. [More…]
I do not believe that the first past the post system in the United Kingdom produces the result which is required in a democratic system. [More…]
There is a single member constituency which is the traditional one under which our parliamentary democracy in the Westminster tradition has developed or there is the system which has its origin more on the continent of Europe than in the United Kingdom of having a multi-member constituency. [More…]
I refer the Senate to one of the considered works on the age of majority, namely, the Report of the Committee on the Age of Majority, known as the Latey Committee, which reported in the United Kingdom in July 1967. [More…]
A second factor involved is the acquisition of one of Australia’s 3 largest hide exporting companies by the British hides monopoly, Barrow Hepburn and Gale Ltd which owns nearly all the other tanning organisations in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Because of the monopoly position and Australian interests of Barrow Hepburn and Gale Ltd, together with the Government’s refusal so far to curtail local hide exports, Australian tanners will face duties previously not experienced on their leathers entering the United Kingdom as well as undue competition from the United Kingdom in gaining its own raw material supply at a time of world wide shortage. [More…]
Following the statement of the Minister for National Development that a uranium enrichment plant is to be established in Australia, will the Minister give serious consideration to its establishment in South Australia, as that State had a successful uranium treatment plant some years ago until its contract with the United Kingdom Government ran out and its Department of Mines was regarded very highly for its research on the treatment of uranium? [More…]
Is the Minister for Health aware that aGoverment White Paper in the United Kingdom revealed that 5,607,435 experiments were done on living cats, dogs and other animals in 1971- an increase of 25,000 over the 1970 figure - and that much scientific experiment is done simply for the sake of experiment and produces nothing of relevance? [More…]
I must admit that when the honourable senator gave the figures in relation to the United Kingdom he rather jolted me. [More…]
I will try to get information on the United Kingdom background. [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…]
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…]
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. [More…]
We have the experience of the United Kingdom, France and Canada amongst others to draw on. [More…]
I am informed that at Heathrow Airport there is provision for 3 entry channels through which persons entering the United Kingdom may pass. [More…]
those carrying United Kingdom passports; [More…]
We know that Australian industry and commerce are amongst the most monopolised in the world, twice as much as in the United Kingdom and 3 times as much as in the United States of America according to Professor Wheelwright as at some years ago. [More…]
If this provision has been insisted on by the other countries - I think it was the United Kingdom Government - we have no alternative but to go along with it. [More…]
If I might put it in short form, if a person is extradited from Australia to the United Kingdom, for example, for a hijacking offence, he may be tried in the United Kingdom for hijacking. [More…]
In I960 the price of polyester fibres in the United Kingdom was 120 pence per lb and in 1971 it was down to 67 pence per lb. [More…]
Indeed, the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories are exporting insulin products to the United Kingdom and South East Asian countries. [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…]
We negotiated with the United Kingdom a postponement of some of the worst things that could happen to us as a result of her entering into the European Economic Community and just sat back in the traces. [More…]
Prior to 1963, ninety per cent of the Australian trade was with tariff preference countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada, with the U.K. being the largest volumewise and the most remunerative. [More…]
Fifthly, we need better arrangements in the United Kingdom for the disposal and sale of our fruit. [More…]
The recent history of shipping fruit to the United Kingdom from Tasmania has been one of endeavouring to arrange for a system which is the most efficient and provides the greatest returns to growers. [More…]
Two of our largest markets have been in the United Kingdom and Germany. [More…]
Those 2 markets are under threat because the United Kingdom is going into the European Economic Community. [More…]
This last area is of some interest, especially in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I took the trouble to extract some information friom magazines and technical material that was available to me in respect of some of the measures that were taken in the United Kingdom with regard to decentralisation. [More…]
I found that some of the measures in force to influence decentralisation of industry in the United Kingdom were: 40 per cent cash grants for plant and machinery; 25 per cent building grants given to service industries as well as manufacturing; discretionary loans and grants, including the possibility that the Board of Trade in the United Kingdom could subscribe to shares and stock; resettlement and removal grants for workers; grants to local authorities to rehabilitate derelict land and improve basic public services; controls on factory development in prosperous regions under industrial development certificates; and a wage subsidy of 1.10.0 as a regional development premium for each adult male manufacturing employee in the development areas for at least 7 years. [More…]
These are the sort of things that are being suggested in the United Kingdom. [More…]
One of the main factors that militates against Tasmania’s development is the fact that so much of our exports, being primaryindustrial, have traditionally gone to the United Kingdom and to Europe. [More…]
Government owned and privately owned flag vessels are operating now in 4 of our overseas trades - to the United Kingdom and Europe, to Japan, and to the east and west coasts of North America. [More…]
The Plowden report - this was a report in the United Kingdom; the British Government has made many surveys and has carried out a great deal of research in these areas - states: lt is generally undesirable except to prevent a greater link to separate mother and child for a whole day in a nursery 5 days a week. [More…]
Will the Minister keep in touch with the British authorities to ensure that his Department is kept fully informed of the results of the United Kingdom investigation? [More…]
Notwithstanding lengthy dialogue on the position of Australian nationals entering the United Kingdom following Britain’s membership of the European Common Market, I ask: Could he ascertain from either the Prime Minister or the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether the evaluation of the White Paper which was recently delivered in Britain affects in any way his earlier answers to me? [More…]
My understanding is that the investigation of the use of dispersants and detergents in relation to oil spillage is carried out by a laboratory either in the United Kingdom or in the [More…]
I know that this is very drastic, but it irritates me and the Opposition that all these new types of oil tankers, in the countries where they are registered, such as the United States, the United Kingdom and France, usually have incorporated all the modern designs, including receiver tanks. [More…]
The United Kingdom has to face up to them. [More…]
United Kingdom the tariff is nil on imports from preferential countries and 15 per cent on imports from elsewhere and the sales tax is 25 per cent. [More…]
They could be imported from the United Kingdom or Japan for about half that amount. [More…]
The tariff items included in the inquiry to which Senator Milliner has referred are those on which the difference between the General and the Preferential rates exceeds the minimum margin of preference which Australia is obliged to accord the United Kingdom under the terms of the United Kingdom/ Australia Trade Agreement. [More…]
The timing of the inquiry is related to the expiry on 1st February 1973 of Australia’s obligations under the United Kingdom/Australian Trade Agreement, and to important international negotiations due to commence during that year. [More…]
Did the learned Attorney-General on his visit to England when he started to undo some of the remaining links between this country and the United Kingdom make any provision for the removal of the title of Queen’s Counsel? [More…]
A very grave problem is involved as to whether the Falkland Islands should be ceded to Argentina or whether they should remain a possession of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It has a long tradition of being one of the dependencies of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think that a more significant point and one which will be of major concern to us in the future is the projections for the increase in the usage of synthetic meats both in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
The intention of that interdepartmental committee is to investigate the approaches being taken in the United States, where the stress hitherto has been mostly on the criminal law aspect and also the approaches being taken in the United Kingdom where the stress seems to have been rather on the health aspect and dealing with it as being a problem of sickness. [More…]
The experience seems to show that the United Kingdom approach, without being perfect, has been more satisfactory than that of the United States. [More…]
Australia, with Canada, the United Kingdom and several other nations, co-sponsored a resolution which would have had the effect of the International Law Commission’s preparing a draft convention.’ [More…]
According to the broadcasting and television year book, Australia was paying a program cost of $179’ per 100,000 sets compared with $85 by Canada, $38 by France, $15 by Italy, $28 by Japan, $80 by New Zealand and $46 by the United Kingdom. [More…]
The current position is that the export market in the United Kingdom looks better than was expected 12 months ago. [More…]
In view of the announcement by Qantas Airways Ltd that an air fare of some S300 for flights between Australia and the United Kingdom may soon be possible, will the Minister take urgent steps to reduce air fares in Australia, perhaps by reducing the duty on aviation spirit and by establishing one-class flights within Australia, so that the travelling public can be persuaded to ‘see Australia first’? [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…]
Commonwealth citizens with a grandparent born in the United Kingdom will be able to obtain entry clearances enabling them to stay and work in Britain for as long as they choose. [More…]
Prior entry authority is not required but, on arrival in the United Kingdom, a person must produce a valid national passport and furnish the Immigration Officer with such information as may be required to determine his eligibility to enter and on what terms leave to enter may be given. [More…]
Australian citizens who wish to ascertain in advance whether they are eligible for admission to the United Kingdom are advised to apply to the British High Commission or its offices in the States for the issue of an entry certificate. [More…]
May I indicate to honourable senators for their information that the Prime Minister some weeks ago announced that the Cabinet had authorised me to prepare a Bill for freedom of information, broadly following the concepts of the American Freedom of Information Act and to implement in Australia what was broadly then recommended by the Franks Committee in the United Kingdom, that is, to remove restrictions upon public servants and to clarify the areas in which they might not be permitted to speak out. [More…]
Just as the United Kingdom is to the continent, so lies Japan. [More…]
However, I suggest to the honourable senator that one of the reasons for the falling off in the number of migrants coming from the United Kingdom to Australia this year compared with last year could be related to the economic circumstances of the United Kingdom as affected by her joining the European Economic Community. [More…]
Senator Webster then went on to suggest that we should compare pension rates in Australia with those in the United Kingdom or New Zealand. [More…]
Also during 1972 the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, which were already in diplomatic relations with China, negotiated joint communiques on the exchange of Ambassadors with China. [More…]
United Kingdom (Joint Communique of 13th March 1972) [More…]
The Government of the United Kingdom, acknowledging the position of the Chinese Government that Taiwan is a province of the People’s Republic of China, have decided to remove their official representation in Taiwan on 13th March 1972.’ [More…]
In the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States of America and the Federal Republic of Germany the franchise age is 18 years. [More…]
The Democratic Labor Party has said that withdrawing some of our troops will cause all the other countries in the world to collapse - that New Zealand, the United Kingdom and America will be affected. [More…]
I remember when New Zealand and the United Kingdom both devalued. [More…]
Such a view did the then Government take of the position that some primary industries were compensated on that account because of the intense competition and because of the difficulties experienced in exporting primary products to the United Kingdom. [More…]
1 have indicated the traditional and accepted rule - applicable not only in the past in this country but also in the United States of America and the United Kingdom - that deportation or extradition does not take place where a person is likely to be dealt with for his political opinions by the country to which he is sent. [More…]
(2) and (3) Mr J. Armstrong has been appointed High Commissioner to the United Kingdom on a salary of $23,500. [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…]
I point out that in the United States the security service is subject to the President and in the United Kingdom the security service is subject to the Prime Minister. [More…]
It is an objective actually achieved in the United Kingdom and in Australia and which has been regarded as being of great importance to the preservation of democracy in our type of country - a country such as Great Britain - a country such as Australia. [More…]
Do honourable senators appreciate that, leaving aside the United Kingdom, the greatest number of migrants now coming to our country come from Yugoslavia? [More…]
Prince Philip from the United Kingdom was in. [More…]
There is as yet, no formal request from the United Kingdom to do anything about them. [More…]
This derives from the extradition legislation which the United Kingdom I think commenced in 1870, which was developed by subsequent amendments up to 1935 and which still has some operation in this country insofar as treaty arrangements which were made under that legislation were retained and perpetuated. [More…]
This growth was mainly attributable to an increase in exports to the United Kingdom, but a number of other markets shared in this increase. [More…]
He had to exercise very great political judgment in matters which arose affecting the United Kingdom, the whole conduct of the war and also Australia’s position in the war. [More…]
By way of preface I refer to a lengthy answer he gave me to a question I asked about the status of Australians in Britain under the United Kingdom Immigration Act. [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…]
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. [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…]
There are also long-standing reciprocal social security benefits rights for Australians in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
Does the Commonwealth Government propose to interfere in any way with the existing relations between the Australian States and the Sovereign and also the existing relations between the Australian States and the United Kingdom Government and the Parliament at Westminster? [More…]
It is quite plain that the aim of the Australian Government is that no external court should deal with domestic Australian cases whether they come from State courts or from Federal courts - that no such cases should be determined ultimately by somebody outside Australia, not responsible to Australia, not appointed by Australia and in fact acting in relation to the United Kingdom Government itself. [More…]
The third part of the honourable senator’s question dealt, I think, with the relationship of the United Kingdom Parliament and the Australian States. [More…]
Although I do not see it spelt out, there is little doubt that we take the view that in no way should Australia be subordinate to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Independence of Australia that the United Kingdom Parliament should in any way be able to legislate in regard to Australia or any part of it. [More…]
But the intention would be quite clear - let there be no doubt about that - that we would think it quite inconsistent with the independence of Australia that the United Kingdom Parliament would continue to have legislative authority over Australia or any part of it. [More…]
To me, the reason why it did occur is that in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America a change in foreign policy occurred. [More…]
Other parts of Indo-China had been cut up between the great colonial powers, including the old United Kingdom, the great empire of yesteryear. [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…]
Steps have been taken or are about to be taken - if they have not been initiated they should have been - to renegotiate the agreements with the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
There are reciprocal arrangements with the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, Malta and Turkey. [More…]
In addition, there are long-standing reciprocal social security benefit rights for Australians in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
Certainly, a reciprocal agreement - this was not done by legislation - was entered into between the governments of Australia and the United Kingdom in 1954. [More…]
I can pick up a newspaper and read that in the United Kingdom people are thinking seriously about reintroducing the death penalty. [More…]
If the reference to Imperial Acts is removed, the situation which existed before the Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs looked at this matter will be sustained, and that will have the effect that the various provisions of the Army Act of the United Kingdom and the Naval Discipline Act of the United Kingdom would not apply. [More…]
For example, me 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 Force the Air Force Act 1939 of the United Kingdom, as adapted. [More…]
There is a definite tendency today, both in the United States and in the United Kingdom, for a reversion to capital punishment because of the increase in crime and because so many people in the community pay so little regard to human life. [More…]
The President of the United States has called for the restoration of capital punishment and in the United Kingdom, although the parliamentarians once again squibbed it as they so often do on issues they are afraid of - many of them are weak when it comes to grasping that nettle firmly - there is a rising demand for the restoration of capital punishment. [More…]
What scares me about this proposition is that we could arrive at the position that has been arrived at in the United States of America and the United Kingdom, where the death penalty has been abolished. [More…]
There has been some agitation in the United Kingdom for the return of the death penalty, particularly for the killing of policemen. [More…]
We will go down the scale, as the United Kingdom and the United States have done. [More…]
In view of the first release by the British Home Office of a report stating that 123 Australians had been directed to leave at the end of a period of 12 months, could I have a breakdown of the various groups involved and the specific reasons why they were -ordered to leave the United Kingdom? [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…]
I 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 foran Australian Social Service pension for the first time and others could have qualified for an increased Social Services pension. [More…]
Three had returned to the United Kingdom previously. [More…]
Prior to their repatriation approval on 5th December 1972 the family had assumed a situation of chronic dependency, with medical conditions as contributory factors, and the Department considered in all the circumstances that the family would benefit if they were returned to the United Kingdom where their relatives and friends could be of assistance to them. [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…]
Bulk concentrate was sent to the United Kingdom to supplement that country’s production. [More…]
I now come to the Mother of Parliaments in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the electorate of Kelvingrove in the United Kingdom it took 6,106 votes to elect a Labor man. [More…]
This situation has been in operation for a long time in the Mother of Parliaments in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom found these arrangements very suitable and I see no reason why we in Australia should not do the same thing and have longer periods between redistributions with a bigger margin of tolerance. [More…]
The preference system which is illegal in the United States of America and the United Kingdom does not give the best result. [More…]
There would be a multiplicity of small parties owing no allegiance one to the other, changing their position within the Parliament, serving their own narrow purposes, frustrating the continuity of government and destroying what we have become used to in Australia and in the United Kingdom, that is, the 2-party system. [More…]
The same first past the post system in the United Kingdom reduced the once great Liberal Party in that country to a party comprising 11 members in a House of approximately 600 members. [More…]
It continued until there evolved a system in the United Kingdom under which there were only 2 parties. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it is hard to imagine such a system when comparing the number of electors who voted for a particular party with the number of members of that party who were elected to the Parliament. [More…]
There would be some logic in applying it in a country such as the United Kingdom. [More…]
They were Senator Neil O’sullivan; Senator Wright, to whom I have referred; Mr Alec Downer, who was a Minister for Immigration in the Menzies Government and later High Commissioner for Australia in the United Kingdom; and Mr Joske, Q.C., as he was at that time, but who is now His Honour Mr Justice Joske of the Commonwealth Industrial Court. [More…]
I am not going to traverse what has happened in Great Britain, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Ireland or anywhere else. [More…]
It has been demonstrated as being imperfect in this country, and it has been demonstrated as being imperfect in all the other countries which have so called representative government - the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and other places that have been mentioned. [More…]
In the United States, I believe, it is as high as 6 to 1 in favour of rural areas, and in the United Kingdom a similar situation obtains. [More…]
This applies to people from the following countries: People’s Republic of Bangladesh, Barbados, Republic of Botswana, Canada, Republic of Cyprus, Fiji, The Gambia, Republic of Ghana, Guyana, Republic of India, Jamaica, Republic of Kenya, Kingdom of Lesotho, Republic of Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Republic of Nauru, New Zealand, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Republic of Singapore, Republic of Sri Lanka, Kingdom of Swaziland, United Republic of Tanzania, Kingdom of Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, United Kingdom and Colonies, 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 1949 and the use of terminology which has given many Australian 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…]
This is one area in which I am at great variance with the Government which has so rapidly and so ruthlessly cut off to a large degree old and proven associations with the United States of America, the United Kingdom and other allies and adopted so definitely new policies in which those who follow other than our democratic system of government have been paramount. [More…]
Although at present a 12 mile limit seems to be most widely favoured, Australia 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…]
Whether yon 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 be lacking at this stage. [More…]
As one who served on the Senate Select Committee on Off-shore Petroleum Resources for quite some time I was heartened to hear Senator Wright’s reference to the Committee’s report, particularly to the in-depth inquiry and study which the Committee made regarding the transmission of hydrocarbons in the United Kingdom, Italy, Canada and the United [More…]
There are things that can point to the way in which the United Kingdom and the United States of America have had short term experience of these matters. [More…]
Why did the United States and the United Kingdom introduce short term policies with regard to prices and incomes? ‘ [More…]
I recall the United Kingdom found that the inflationary trend did not change significantly by instituting measures similar to those we are discussing at the moment. [More…]
It would have been far more honest if the Labor Government had said to the people of Australia: We will try to solve the problem by doing half of what the United Kingdom and America tried’. [More…]
It can do that, but it does not in any way do what the United Kingdom and the United States of America did, that is, to freeze both wages and prices. [More…]
What they will really do is use this device in a discriminatory way to say to particular sections: ‘We will delay your putting up of prices for a period of 3 or 4 months’ which is, of course, a price freeze, lt is important to keep in mind, if anyone sees any virtue in this, that the price freezes, and wage freezes, that were imposed by both America and the United Kingdom failed entirely. [More…]
Nowhere in the world have these kinds of mechanisms succeeded; nor have the freezes that have been imposed in the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
What the Scotton and Deeble report simply facilitates in a mechanistic way is the bringing into Australia of the kinds of national schemes which have been tested in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Canada. [More…]
In the United Kingdom where the hospitals and the doctors were nationalised more, and more people are getting together to build private hospitals. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the scheme on hospitals which is devised in that report is failing badly. [More…]
By none of those tests can the schemes in the United Kingdom, Canada or Scandinavia stand up. [More…]
Notwithstanding the long range plans for an international conference of nations adjacent to large fishing- areas, can we have an assurance that if North Atlantic Treaty Organisation contingencies result in Iceland obtaining a more favourable formula from its cod war with the United Kingdom, Australia would use such a precedent in its future fishing relations with its competitors in adjacent Australian fishing waters? [More…]
Why cannot Australia do this like any other sophisticated nation, for example the United Kingdom? [More…]
Australia, Canada, Japan, South Africa, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Norway, Argentina, France, Iceland, Mexico, United Kingdom, Panama, United States of America and Denmark. [More…]
The Minister for Transport and Minister for Civil Aviation, Mr Charles Jones, left Australia on Friday, 1 June, to attend the Transport-Expo at Paris and the European Conference of Ministers of Transport at The Hague, as well as to have discussions with officials in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Japan. [More…]
Other countries - notably New Zealand and the United Kingdom - have adopted this basic criterion for these deductions. [More…]
We already have many United Kingdom citizens in Australia, as honourable senators know. [More…]
Mr Carr the British Minister responsible for United Kingdom citizenship status in relation to Britain’s entry into the European Common Market indicated that even with the best intentions in the world the old links with Australia and New Zealand, and probably to a lesser degree Canada, were not quite the same. [More…]
If I may quote the Minister for Immigration (Mr Grassby) on this point, other countries which do not require a person to renounce their allegiance to their country of origin encompass New Zealand, the United Kingdom, France, Israel, Ireland, Italy, Japan and the Netherlands. [More…]
I know that Senator Davidson, Senator Maunsell and Senator Hannan appeared to be referring to all British citizens coming to Australia as though they are all citizens from the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I mentioned at the second-reading stage of the Bill, other countries, including New Zealand and the United Kingdom, do not expect people acquiring their citizenship to renounce their countries of origin or their relationships to those countries. [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 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…]
My understanding is that under the present law a person who is a British subject and in fact a citizen, if one may call him that, of the United Kingdom is required to enrol here and vote after 6 months residence although he may never become an Australian citizen. [More…]
Its objectives have been achieved if one considers the situation, for example, in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America where for many years the industry has been chaotic because no such agreement has existed. [More…]
Anybody who has kept himself informed of the progress of this issue iri the United Kingdom since, say, 1967 will be quite aware of the situation, because both sides of politics were then quite alarmed at the trend of industrial chaos brought about by the irresponsible exercise of strike power by big combinations of labour. [More…]
Place of Strife’ and which is now in the Industrial Relations Act of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Senator Wright roamed over the field of arbitration as it applies in the United Kingdom. [More…]
As honourable senators opposite would be well aware, particularly considering their views on the matter of allegiance to the Crown which have been demonstrated in the last few days, the Rhodesian Government is in open defiance and rebellion against the Queen of the Commonwealth, lt is operating quite illegally and it has been so described by the Government of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is larger than most consulting bodies in the United Kingdom and larger than most private engineering consultant bodies in the United States of America. [More…]

Australia now is not carrying on at the United Nations waiting to see which way the United States of America or the United Kingdom is voting before it casts its vote. [More…]
Australian officials are examining the technical aspects of these changes and their implications not only for Australian shareholders receiving dividends from United Kingdom companies but in other directions also. [More…]
During his recent visit to India the Prime Minister made a statement to the general effect that, in the past, Australia had in the United Nations paid excessive regard to the voting intentions of the United Kingdom and the United States and had found itself frequently in a different voting position from that of its neighbours. [More…]
The Prime Minister has made it clear that, in the future, while not disregarding the voting intentions of the United Kingdom and the United States, Australia would ascertain the views of countries in the Indian and Pacific Oceans such as Canada, Japan, Indonesia, India and some of the African countries. [More…]
In the United Nations in the last twenty years or so, there have been many occasions when Australia sided with the United Kingdom, France, Portugal, South Africa and the United States while Australia’s neighbours were on another side. [More…]
When one reads the case it is very difficult to say that that man should have been treated as a traitor to the United Kingdom because in fact he had made a decision and had said: ‘Look, I am not on their side, I am on the other side.’ [More…]
It is not long ago - I referred to this when I spoke during the second reading of the Death Penalty Abolition Bill - that I pointed out that it is claimed by statistics that since the death penalty was abolished in the United Kingdom the number of people shot in the streets, by other citizens or by the police, has increased tenfold. [More…]
In the first place, the specific reference to the United Kingdom has been omitted. [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 does not, since it is not necessary, make an individual reference to Her Majesty’s title as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
There is a high degree of co-operation between the customs departments and the various narcotics bureaux in South-East Asia, the United States of America, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. [More…]
Australia has an adverse trading ratio of 2 to 1 with the United States of America and an adverse balance ratio of 2 to .1 with the United Kingdom. [More…]
At least, that was so until the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
One can only recall that the United Kingdom, France and the other countries of Europe recognised Nazi Germany before 1939 but that did not mean they were able to avoid the holocaust which occurred in 1939. [More…]
But after all the Australian Government acts only as an agent for the United Kingdom Government in this matter. [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…]
Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almightly God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and under the Constitution hereby established . [More…]
It is a Commonwealth established under the crown of the United Kingdom and it is subject to the Constitution thereby enacted. [More…]
Section 2 of the Colonial Laws Validity Act provides that any colonial law repugnant to the provisions of any Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom extending to a colony to which such law may relate shall, to the extent of such repugnancy but not otherwise be absolutely void and inoperative. [More…]
The Crown is the symbol of the true association of the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and as they are united by a common allegiance to the Crown it would be in accord with the established constitutional position of all the members of the Commonwealth in relation to one another that any alteration in the law touching the Succession to the Throne or the Royal Style and Title shall hereafter require the assent as well of the Parliament of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
I turn now to the covering clauses of the Australian Constitution because my proposition is this: That the oath of allegiance must be an oath personalised to the British Sovereign, to the sovereign of the United Kingdom personalised by name, and that merely to make the oath of allegiance to the office of the Queen of Australia is something which this Parliament is not constitutionally competent to do. [More…]
The provisions of this Act referring to the Queen shall extend to Her Majesty’s heirs and successors in the Sovereignty of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In other words the Queenship of Australia that accrued to Her Majesty is a Queenship that accrues in the right of her sovereignty of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In other words the propositions put forward so far to the Senate are that the Queen is the Queen of Australia in right and title of her Queenship of the United Kingdom; that any law that we enact here must be in terms of the law enacted in the Australian Constitution Act and the Australian Constitution. [More…]
The Royal Style and Titles Bill 1973 and the Australian Citizenship Bill 1973 both propose to omit inter alia from the Queen’s Titles reference to the United Kingdom. [More…]
He strongly advocated that the better approach was to begin in the territorial reference by referring to the United Kingdom and then to refer to Australia in the case of Australia. [More…]
He said that juristically speaking it would be fantastic to eliminate a reference to the United Kingdom because the plain truth is that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second sits on the throne not because of some law of Australia but because of the law of the United Kingdom. [More…]
He said that in the literal, legal sense the Queen is the Queen of Australia because she is Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Mr Menzies added that in strict terms of law Her Majesty is our Queen because under the Act of Succession of the United Kingdom, as modified by the Abdication Act of 1 936, she is Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Dr Evatt when speaking on the Royal Style and Titles Bill 1953 reminded the House of Representatives that in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster 193 1 there was a declaration that alterations of the law touching the succession to the throne or the royal style and title required the assent of the United Kingdom Parliament and the parliaments of all dominions. [More…]
The Prime Minister was quite correct in pointing out that, so far as Australia is concerned, in both constitutional practice and constitutional law in the strict sense, the succession is determined by the Succession to the Throne of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In other words, they project the firm opinion that the entitlement of Her Majesty the Queen to the Queenship of Australia arises and stems from Her Queenship of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The important part of that last reference is that Dr Evatt contemplated the inclusion of the words ‘Elizabeth the Second’- a personalisation again of the monachy which he and Mr Menzies obviously considered as indispensible because, as I have said, the Queenship of Australia arises from the personal Queenship of the Queen as Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
A footnote in the Schedule requires the name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being to be substituted for Queen Victoria. [More…]
The provisions to this Act referring to the Queen shall extend to Her Majesty’s heirs and successors in the sovereignty of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is in the right and title of her queenship, her sovereignty, of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Therefore when the Senate insists, as Senator Davidson proposes, on the amendment as originally proposed and rejected by the House of Representatives, I submit, on the authorities which I have quoted and on the recitation of the history of the constitutional position, that the amendment reflects the constitutional position in the personalisation of the Queen in her right and title as sovereign of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It meets the constitutional demand that we accept, that is, that Queen Elizabeth is Queen of Australia in her right and title as Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Under the Royal Style and Titles Act 1953 the oath of allegiance referred to ‘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…]
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…]
The omission of ‘renouncing all other allegiance’ is maintained because, as I have said already, it has no legal purpose and it could be equally distressing to citizens of the United Kingdom as well as to citizens of other countries, all of whom will be required to take the oath or affirmation of allegiance. [More…]
Significantly the United Kingdom and Canada are among the great majority that do not require an act of renunciation. [More…]
The point I attempted to make in my submission was this: The Queen is Queen of Australia only insofar as she is Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
She derives the title ‘Queen Elizabeth the Second ‘ from her monarchy in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Prime Minister was quite correct in pointing out that so far as Australia is concerned in both constitutional practice and constitutional law in the strict sense the succession is determined by the succession to the throne of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In other words, the learned doctor was there predicating that it is as Queen of the United Kingdom that the Queen becomes Queen of Australia. [More…]
It is not necessary to insert the words of the United Kingdom’ because in describing her as Queen Elizabeth the Second, ipso facto, she is Queen of the United Kingdom and Queen Elizabeth the Second of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Territories dependent on the United Kingdom include the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. [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…]
Whereas it was recited in the preamble to the Statute of Westminster, 1931 that it would be in accord with the established constitutional position of all the members of the British Commonwealth of Nations in relation to one another that any alteration in the law touching the Royal Style and Tides should, after the enactment of that Act, ‘require the assent as well of the Parliaments of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom’: [More…]
And whereas the Style and Titles appertaining to the Crown at the time of the enactment of the Statute of Westminster, 193 1 had been declared by His then Majesty King George V. in a Proclamation in pursuance of the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act, 1927 of the United Kingdom, and were, in consequence of the establishment of the Republic of India, subsequently altered with the assent as well of the Parliaments of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Union of South Africa as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom: [More…]
It is quite apparent from the preamble to which I have referred that any further change, any alteration in the law touching the royal style and titles, would require the assent of the parliaments of the dominions and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The only other alteration which is to be made is that the words ‘of the United Kingdom ‘ are to be removed. [More…]
The words ‘of the United Kingdom ‘ are to be left out. [More…]
I know that constitutionally some point may be raised that because the Australian Constitution defines the monarch as ‘the Queen of the United Kingdom, Her heirs and successors according to law’ we ought to retain in our royal style and titles provision the reference to Queen Elizabeth the Second of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is that the person who occupies the dignity of the Queen of Australia is Her Majesty, her heirs and successors, according to the law of the United Kingdom and the Act of Succession of 1 707. [More…]
Therefore, I strongly advocated- and as honourable members will see it turned out at any rate in the case of four of the countries concerned- that we ought in the territorial reference begin by referring to the United Kingdom and then to refer in our own way to Australia, in the case of Australia, and so on. [More…]
Why refer to the United Kingdom first?’ [More…]
In the first place I think that, jurisstically speaking, it would be fantastic to eliminate a reference to the United Kingdom, because the plain truth is that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second sits on the throne not because of some law of Australia but because of the law of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Therefore, in the literal, legal sense the Queen is Queen of Canada and of South Africa and of New Zealand, and so on, because she is Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Therefore, as I say, in strict terms of law Her Majesty is our Queen because under the Act of Succession of the United Kingdom, as modified by the Abdication Act of 1936, she is the Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The provisions of this Act referring to the Queen shall extend to Her Majesty’s heirs and successors in the sovereignty of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is clear that the Queen, in the terms of the Constitution Act and our Constitution, is the Queen according to the law of the United Kingdom. [More…]
That is the reason why I say irrespective of how, under the royal style and titles, we may describe Her Majesty, she is Queen of Australia by virtue of the fact that she is Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
But there is no obligation in Australia to refer to Her Majesty as the Queen of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The juristic position which was accepted in 1953 is, I believe, quite adequately maintained by the reference to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second because she is Queen Elizabeth the Second of the United Kingdomthere can be no mistake about that- and that adequately conveys the connection with the United Kingdom. [More…]
in reply- It was interesting to listen to the distinguished Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Greenwood) go to some pains to tell us that the Queen of the United Kingdom and the person who is part of the Parliament of Australia really owes her position in no way to us; she is properly there by virtue of the decisions of the United Kingdom; she is the Queen of the United Kingdom and she is there irrespective of anything that we might do, say, want or wish; this is because of the carryover of the feudal system in Great Britain; although this is so, there is nothing that we can do about it; whether it is foisted upon us or tolerated by us we can properly describe her as the Queen of Australia, although we have nothing to do with her appointment, her being there or her moving; and we in no way have any effect on her being there. [More…]
The Opposition seems to have been at great pains to say that in no way is the authority of the Queen, who is a constituent part of the Parliament of the country, to govern derived from the people of Australia but is derived only from the people of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Senator Greenwood said- Senator Byrne agreed with him- that the authority of this important person, the Queen, derives absolutely entirely from the people of the United Kingdom; in no way does her authority to govern derive from the will of the people in Australia. [More…]
As I understood Senator Byrne, he said: ‘Let us not talk about that, but let us say that it is because the British people enshrined their will in an Act of Parliament which binds us and that we should ignore the proposition, which is put so clearly by the official Opposition, that the authority to govern comes from the will of the people of the United Kingdom and in no way from the will of the people of Australia ‘. [More…]
-I would not doubt that the proposition that the authority of the Queen comes entirely from the people of the United Kingdom and in no way from the people of Australia would probably be accepted generally. [More…]
-He applauded the existing state of affairs and said that the authority of the Queen to rule Australia came entirely from the will of the people of the United Kingdom and in no way from the will of the people of Australia. [More…]
It now falls to the Senate in 1973 to deal with the present descendant of the feudal system in the United Kingdom which is at the other end of the earth. [More…]
I suppose it is important whether we will drop the words ‘Defender of the Faith’ and whether we shall use the term ‘Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ‘ rather than the term ‘Queen of Australia’. [More…]
The proposition we have suggested here is that the Consitution and the law- the Acts Interpretation Act, Statute of Westminster and so onrequire that the Queen shall be referred to by her personal title as Queen Elizabeth the Second because it is due to the sovereignty of the United Kingdom that she sustains her title as Queen of Australia. [More…]
Will the Minister for Primary Industry indicate whether the British Minister was able to give assurances of continuing markets for Australian products, particularly dried and fresh fruits, in the United Kingdom? [More…]
The essence of those discussions, in the light of the honourable senator’s question, was that the market prospects are good in the United Kingdom for Australian primary products, particularly meat. [More…]
Generally, I would say yes, the Minister was confident that the future for Australian primary products in the United Kingdom is looking good. [More…]
They demonstrate that in the United Kingdom per head of the total population about one person in 70 is employed in the public service, in Canada the figure is 1 in 30, and in Australia it is 1 in 11. [More…]
We have suffered a degree of monopolisation far beyond that which exists in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
It was suggested at that time that the reason why English institutions and private holders of stocks such as shares in Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd were unloading their blue chip holdings was to reinvest their capital in Australian shares, that they would gain capital from the revaluation of Australian currency and would get about a 25 per cent premium before investing in the high interest rate market of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Prices in Japan, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom are all rising. [More…]
But this is what was said to me: The United Kingdom has one public servant for every 70 in the population. [More…]
In this present equation the United Kingdom and the United States are superimposed on the Soviet Union and China. [More…]
What are the current radiation levels in (a) the United Kingdom, (b) the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, (c) United States of America, (d) Canada, (e) New Zealand, and (!) [More…]
By what percentages has the present radiation level been contributed to by past nuclear testing by (a) the United Kingdom, (b) the United States of America, (c) the Union Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, (d) The People ‘s Republic of China, and (e) France? [More…]
Not long ago the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) joined issue with the United Kingdom over multi-national corporations. [More…]
It will be directly for the basic purpose of providing information to the Australian people, as is done by the governments of the United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Nothing that has happened in the United States of America or in the United Kingdom in the last few years would cause one to change that judgment. [More…]
But we cannot be sure that the exporter will not pass some of that tax on to his customer in the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom, or in the European Economic Community. [More…]
You will note that the majority of the pensions, 2,157 are paid from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom legislation is called the Counter Inflation (Temporary Provisions) Act of 1972. [More…]
It is apparent that the prices policy, which is generally the language used to describe the type of policy which the United Kingdom legislature passed, is a policy which applies to goods, charges and services. [More…]
Throughout the world- in America, in the United Kingdom and in other places where these powers have been given- almost without exception the dual power has been the one which has been exercised. [More…]
It may be that if this were here alone the view would be taken that not enough legislative power was being given to the Australian Parliament; but it must never be forgotten that that is all we are dealing with- power in the Parliament to be able to legislate on this subject matter, to do what the United Kingdom Parliament does as of course. [More…]
Many members here speak with reverence of the United Kingdom Parliament and in many ways often seem to prefer its practices to our own. [More…]
It is simply a matter of giving this Parliament the power which would exist in the United Kingdom Parliament and which exists in the State parliaments. [More…]
Their advice is based on the sharing of intelligence with people concerned with the defence forces of the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia’s independence of policy and action had been traded away for ‘defence on the cheap’- yet its closest allies, the United Kingdom and the U.S., were withdrawing into low profiles’ on the understandable premise that their friends should be as ready to defend their own freedom as we had been. [More…]
The view which the advisers are giving the Government is based on intelligence reports from the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
For instance, already this year a platoon of the 6th RAR has visited the United Kingdom, 150 soldiers have visited the New Zealand defence forces and members of the 6th Task Force have visited Hawaii for exercises with the United States 25th Infantry Division. [More…]
We saw the United Kingdom, for obvious reasons, withdraw from east of Suez. [More…]
Since July 1 97 1 imports of veal and beef in the United Kingdom have been subject to the application of levies. [More…]
These levies are determined by the relationship of the United Kingdom market price for fat cattle with the target indicated price- the TIP as it is called. [More…]
This works in this way: If in any week the United Kingdom market price is below the target indicated price levies are to be put into operation the next week. [More…]
Once that fall occurs in the United Kingdom, Australian beef and veal going to that country could be subject to that levy. [More…]
I think it would be worth while if honourable senators opposite were to study the work history of the colliery winding drivers in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I wish to draw to the attention of honourable senators the fact that we have sitting in the President ‘s Gallery at the present time a delegation from the United Kingdom branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. [More…]
If this matter does not fall within the Minister’s responsibility I ask him to take it up with the Minister for Health to see whether it is true that a reliable vaccine for the control of this very difficult and dangerous disease has been developed in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I refer to certain aspects of the operations of Qantas Airways Ltd. Everyone knows that the number of people in this country who travel to and from the United Kingdom and Europe is growing every year. [More…]
It is true that a company is establishing a juice concentrate plant in Tasmania and that it proposes to produce concentrate mainly for the United Kingdom export trade. [More…]

That leave be given to introduce a Bill for an Act to repeal the High Commissioner (United Kingdom) Act 1909-1966 and for purposes connected therewith. [More…]
The evidence given to the Committee shows that landed costs of imports from the United Kingdom and the United States of America, whose currencies have devalued against the Australian dollar, of fully finished goods and active ingredients have generally fallen as a result of the currency changes. [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…]
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…]
Senator DOUGLAS McCLELLANDBecause of the developments that were taking place and found to be in existence in some parts of the United States of America and the United Kingdom I determined that this matter should be investigated in Australia. [More…]
In view of the serious overseas fuel crisis necessitating drastic cuts in the use of hydrocarbon derivatives for power, heating and transport in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States of America, would the Minister press for a higher priority for bringing into use at the earliest possible time the known reserves of the North West Shelf and the Cooper Basin which would include the early commencement of the national pipeline grid in order to avoid the possibility of the disruption to industrial and social life that is high and growing in other parts of the world? [More…]
I have been advised, however, that in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and New Zealand the following air travel standards apply for international travel: [More…]
United Kingdom- first class for very senior officers and for others in very special circumstances, economy class for others. [More…]
It has gained acceptance in the race relations legislation of the United Kingdom and New Zealand and it is also widely recognised in North America. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that HMV- Healing is two-thirds owned by overseas interests; that General Electric is 80 per cent owned by United States interests; that Kriesler, Philips and Pye are substantially owned by Philips of Holland; that Thorn is wholly owned by United Kingdom interests; that National is wholly owned by Japanese interests; and that only AWA is Australian controlled? [More…]
I have not any doubt that those arrangements will prove useful in the working out of our relationship with the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I said, it marks the end of a stage in Australia’s development that we are repealing the Acts which are known as the High Commissioner Acts and bringing the High Commissioner in the United Kingdom within the scope of our general overseas representation. [More…]
What I am concerned about is whether, if someone cables back here and complains about something in the United Kingdom, under the change in our representation in Britain our representative there will deal direct with the British Home Office. [More…]
There is a mixture of laws, or ordinances, of some Acts of this Parliament, of laws carried over from New South Wales and of laws carried across from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The powers, privileges, and immunities of the Senate and 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…]
I will not read what he said, but his general comment was that the various Acts of Parliament of the United Kingdom passed during the nineteenth century gave each State the power to make laws for the peace, welfare and good government of the State. [More…]
Projections have been made, especially in the United Kingdom and the United States of America of greatly expanded production of synthetic meats. [More…]
One projection I recall was that within 20 years 30 per cent of the meat consumed in the United Kingdom would be of a synthetic nature. [More…]
Has the Government given thought to a suggestion made earlier this year by me that a complaints commission similar to that set up by the United Kingdom in regard to the BBC might be instituted in Australia? [More…]
So he is committed to what he calls ‘democratic socialism’ which has dawned in the United Kingdom and has brought Great Britain to her knees. [More…]
I believe that it is in the same condition as was the United States when it was first settled and had to get capital from the United Kingdom and western Europe until its industrial generation was such and its population had grown to such an extent that the capital flowed the other way. [More…]
More than forty governments have recognised or maintained relations with the new Chilean regime, including all Latin American states (except Cuba), the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, West Germany, Sweden, and China. [More…]
Whether it is 3 years or 5 years, as in the United Kingdom, these periods are thought to be reasonable. [More…]
By way of further elaboration ofthe foregoing explanation it should be said that changes in the relative values of major currencies, including the devaluation of the United States dollar and the floating by the United Kingdom of the pound sterling which are two of Qantas’ largest markets, has resulted in a decline of approximately $A 1 3m in the company’s revenue from air travel sold in foreign countries. [More…]
It is relevant to mention that Australians are among the few travellers and shippers in the world who are paying the same fares and rates as last year whereas fares and rates in some countries, of which the United States and the United Kingdom are prime examples, have increased by more than 10 per cent as a result of currency changes and general fare increases. [More…]
This year fares sold in the United States for travel to Australia have increased by 10 per cent and United Kingdom pound sterling fares have increased 6 per cent with the further 4 per cent to be added in November to normal fares for travel originating in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The cost of an excursion fare purchased in the United Kingdom for travel to Australia has risen from pounds sterling 326.65 to pounds sterling 359.35 since May 1973. [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…]
Although all States have some interest in export, the position is most serious for Tasmania, because of its heavy dependence on the export trade and on the United Kingdom and Europe to take the bulk of its apple exports, and because of its dependence on conventional shipping. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the penalty imposed for breach of the requirements in respect of proper conservation of fishery resources is a fine of 500 pounds, or $A820, as well as the court’s having a discretion to order forfeiture of the catch and fishing equipment. [More…]
It has proved to be so in the United Kingdom, the United States, and no less so in Australia. [More…]
Australia has 20 per cent more beds relative to population than Canada and 27 per cent more than the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Australian Government invited experts from the United Kingdom to come to Australia to advise it on health matters. [More…]
Sir Lionel Whitby, in an editorial in the Medical Journal’ of 3 July 1948, on the eve of the introduction of the national health scheme in the United Kingdom, summed up the position very well. [More…]
I think it is probably correct to say- although I have not got the figures- that the large majority of British subjects in this country have come from the United Kingdom. [More…]
As for the first and main part, the difficulties which the United Kingdom is facing, I would think that it would be hardly appropriate for Australia to initiate discussions about what are obviously the very severe problems which the United Kingdom is encountering. [More…]
Can the Minister give me some information on the position relating to the United Kingdom and Commonwealth country migrants as far as Australian citizenship is concerned? [More…]
Is it not beyond argument that the United Kingdom has been brought to a condition bordering on anarchy and perhaps dislocation as an economic unit, with portents of massive unemployment, by industrial chaos fostered by ultra-militant trade unionism? [More…]
I suppose it is interesting to compare the situation in Australia under a Labor Government with the situation in the United Kingdom which does not have the benefit of a Labor government. [More…]
As for the prophecies of doom for the United Kingdom, I think that the people of the United Kingdom will, as they have in the past, overcome their troubles. [More…]
We hope that the Government and the people of the United Kingdom will solve their problems in their own way. [More…]
The problems of these industries have been accentuated by the entry of the United Kingdom into the European [More…]
I refer to a medical graduate who is trying to do some research work in the United Kingdom. [More…]
When I was in London recently I was surprised to find that one of the most eminent professors of pediatrics in the United Kingdom and in fact in the world was virtually trying to raise money from notable people in London in order that an Australian medical graduate should be able to undertake research at Kings Hospital in London. [More…]
The facts of this case are that this person is a young doctor who wants to go to the United Kingdom to study for 12 to 18 months in a very highly technical field of pediatrics. [More…]
It is required to enable the young doctor concerned to visit the United Kingdom for 12 months or 18 months. [More…]
The people of Great Britain have had to call on a Labour Government to get them out of the mess into which the equivalent in the United Kingdom of honourable senators opposite have got them. [More…]
The Labour Party in the United Kingdom was not afraid to meet the judgment of the people; neither is the Labor Party in Australia. [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…]
It is all very fine to have kick at the Government about this matter, but it should be remembered that Australia still has a private enterprise economy, as have the United States, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the European common market countries. [More…]
He may have noticed that in the United Kingdom - [More…]
He could have gone on further and said that we are ahead of the United Kingdom, with all its awful troubles concerning inflation. [More…]
Senator Little had something to say about the United Kingdom. [More…]
This document I have, which was put out by the Department of Foreign Affairs in Canberra, had this to say about the recent election in the United Kingdom: [More…]
By comparison with the system that operates in New Zealand and the system that operates in the United Kingdom, the Australian democratic system as it is applied to this Federal Parliament is as near perfection as democracy can attain. [More…]
Each public servant who puts a.foot outside his own town or city on official business is entitled to first class air travel- unlike the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and many other countries where only very senior officers are entitled to travel first class, with economy class travel provided for other members of the Public Service. [More…]
The countries are as follows: Afghanistan, Albania, Argentina, Austria, Barbados, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Byelorussian SSR, Canada, Central African Republic, Chile, China, Congo, Costa Rica, Cuba, Cyprus, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Fiji, Finland, France, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Germany, Federal Republic of Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Laos, Lebanon, Madagascar, Malawi, Malta, Mauritius, Mongolia, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Republic of Korea, Romania, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Spain, Swaziland, Sweden, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukrainian SSR, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United Kingdom, Yugoslavia, Zambia. [More…]
I call to mind that some years ago I went on a Commonwealth parliamentary tour to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am one of those people who believe that one of the things that has brought down the United Kingdom to its present level has been the nationalisation of vital industries in that country. [More…]
I repeat that one of the big factors which has brought the United Kingdom to the condition in which it is today has been nothing more or less than the exploitation brought about by these nationalised industries. [More…]
The United Kingdom. [More…]
All that the Government can do is to hurry helterskelter along that same path to bring about in this country the same conditions as have operated in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Eventually it will bring us to the same condition as that to which it has brought the United Kingdom. [More…]
He said the United Kingdom had been brought to its present level by the nationalisation of various industries in the United Kingdom. [More…]
-About 12 months ago the British Broadcasting Corporation adopted a public access arrangement which has been very well received in the United Kingdom. [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…]
In response to the increasing build up of the Russian naval strength in that area the United States made some arrangements with the United Kingdom to upgrade the facilities on Diego Garcia. [More…]
It must rely on bigger countries like the United Kingdom and the United States of America to come to its aid. [More…]
I sincerely trust that we will not do anything to stop America coming to our aid because at the present time the United Kingdom is in such a spot I do not think that it could even supply enough fuel for a warship to travel from that country to Australia. [More…]
Let us look at the scheme in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom has had a national health scheme for something like 30 years. [More…]
I have met hundreds of people from the United Kingdom who have come out here. [More…]
I have never met one migrant from the United Kingdom who has criticised the scheme which operates in that country. [More…]
If that scheme is as bad as Senator Little tries to make us believe it is, it is a wonder that when there has been a change of government in the United Kingdom- there have been many changes of government over the last 30 yearsthe Conservatives, as one of their first actions when elected to Government, did not change the national health scheme to some system that they support. [More…]
But the scheme in the United Kingdom has remained unchanged for more than 30 years. [More…]
I quote to the Senate that in the United Kingdom the standard medical journals have stated repeatedly over the past year quite unchallenged that the average time made available by a general practitioner under the national health scheme to see a patient is of the order of 3 minutes. [More…]
Here in front of honourable senators is the United Kingdom scheme which clearly provides an inferior service. [More…]
The hospital scheme in the United Kingdom is breaking down under a long waiting list of patients, and waiting time for ordinary surgeryhernias, hysterectomies- is a year to 18 months. [More…]
It is true to say that in the United Kingdom a growing number of people have joined voluntary funds. [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…]
The United Kingdom is one of the greatest examples in the world of a crisis situation. [More…]
The United Kingdom is held up as the greatest example of parliamentary democracy in the world. [More…]
Constituencies in the United Kingdom vary in size from 40,000 to 80,000 electors. [More…]
That discrepancy is not considered in the United Kingdom to be irregular. [More…]
Let us have a look at the 1974 election results in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I would like to refer briefly to the position in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We have heard the United Kingdom Parliament quoted as the Mother of Parliaments. [More…]
Let us have regard to the fact that in other countries in which we have accepted that there are democratic systems- countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom- there are far greater disparities in the sizes of electorates than those which exist in the Commonwealth Parliament at the present time. [More…]
One would hope that the nations which have special rights under the constitution of 1960- namely, Greece, Turkey and the United Kingdom- play their part responsibly and hold themselves in great restraint during what must be a tremendously difficult time. [More…]
We are moving towards centralism whereas the United Kingdom is now moving towards the giving of state parliaments to Scotland and Wales and towards decentralisation. [More…]
I have in mind the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United Kingdom, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Federal Republic of Germany, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Italy, Greece, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, Canada and New Zealand. [More…]
Australians can expect to live a shorter time at birth than people from the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain. [More…]
A study of the health schemes of the United Kingdom and other countries will reveal that to be so. [More…]
Any of us who have visited the United Kingdom, or indeed, have required medical attention there, will have observed that trend. [More…]
Let nobody fail to note what happened in the United Kingdom in recent days when trade unions said they would starve patients out of private wards to enforce standard wards upon the people. [More…]
This practice which occurred in the United Kingdom the other day was characterised by trade unions saying: ‘We will starve private ward patients out of private wards to force them into standard wards.’ [More…]
Here is an opportunity for the Government to learn of the errors of the past- of the United Kingdom, of Canada and of Scandinavia. [More…]
In the United Kingdom at the present time a massive injection of funds is necessary to prevent the health scheme from collapsing financially. [More…]
Such a scheme has operated in the United Kingdom for a quarter of a century but there the authorities are reviewing the scheme. [More…]
It seems to me that in the United Kingdom there is a tendency towards a growth in private insurance organisations and an increasing number of people who are wanting anxiously to insure themselves in a fund through which they may seek private attention and obtain it almost immediately. [More…]
I have here an interesting supplement to the London ‘Times’ dealing with health care in the United Kingdom, published only a few months ago. [More…]
I do not wish to hold up the Senate but I would like to read one or two extracts from the supplement that seem to indicate that the health scheme in the United Kingdom has not been what Minister Bevan thought it ought to be when it was created that long ago. [More…]
It seems quite obvious to me that there is a growing demand iri the United Kingdom for private insurance protection in order that people may attend the doctor of their choice and can be sure that they will have that doctor available for surgical treatment or whatever treatment may be indicated. [More…]
In fact, in the United Kingdom taking 10,000 people as a basis there are 12 doctors, 32 nurses and 41 beds available for that number. [More…]
After 25 years of experience in the United Kingdom it can be seen that a change is taking place. [More…]
-I believe what I read in that newspaper because it substantiates the views that have been put to me by doctors who have come to Australia to escape this public service environment and it has also been put in letters which I have received over the years from hundreds of patients who believe that the system in Australia is far from preferable to the one that they experienced for many years in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I believe that in recent times there has been an upsurge in the discontent amongst the doctors in the United Kingdom and a tendency for more and more doctors in that country to want to go overseas to practice. [More…]
For instance, the United Kingdom found it necessary to legislate against such practices with, I understand, very satisfactory results. [More…]
In the off-shore areas of the United Kingdom, the United States, in Alaska and off west Africa the relevant authorities grant non-exclusive exploration licences. [More…]
Ought we to be responding to the coal shortage in the United Kingdom and Western Europe? [More…]
Most of the rest of the European countries, including the United Kingdom did not express much interest either. [More…]
I do not know what will be the impact on our new target of 80,000 people of the advertising in the United Kingdom, but I shall find out and let Senator Davidson know the results of my inquiries. [More…]
It does nothing for the development of the United Kingdom or for the confidence of some of its industries in their future to be threatened with what appears to be complete nationalisation. [More…]
In 1903 Australia inherited a system which, as far as the British dominions were concerned, rested upon the Fugitive Offenders Act of the United Kingdom. [More…]
-The Post Office is now considering arrangements which should provide a superfast mail service for traffic between Australia and the United Kingdom and Australia and the United States of America. [More…]
It should mean that within 48 hours of the receipt of articles in Sydney and Melbourne those articles would be delivered to areas in the United Kingdom and in the United States. [More…]
This is one of the relics of colonialism which continues to poison the relationships between Australia and the United Kingdom. [More…]
-I know that that situation is supported by a number of honourable senators opposite and people in the various State branches of the Liberal Party, but I repeat that it poisons the relationship between this country and the United Kingdom that we should continue to have British appointed judges determining matters, even those of a domestic nature, over in London. [More…]
I refer the attention of the Minister for Agriculture to reports that Australia has concluded negotiations with the European Economic Community for compensation following the United Kingdom entry into that body. [More…]
Did the Minister recently receive from Mr R. B. Walker, Chairman of the State Fruit Board of Tasmania, and Mr N. S. Bridge of Tasfruit Pty Ltd a request for advance assistance of $ 1 per bushel against an estimated $ 1 .72 of government assistance for this season on fruit shipped to the United Kingdom and European markets at risk? [More…]
By section 49 of the Constitution it is enacted that the powers, privileges, and immunities of the Senate and 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…]
This procedure has not operated previously in the Australian Parliament, but it operates 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 that subordinate orders and regulations shall be made subject to annulment. [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…]
We all know how the activities of industrial organisations have bedevilled the trade and commerce of the United Kingdom and caused a degree of commercial impotence that has brought that country almost to its knees. [More…]
I refer to an article by Sir Arthur Bryant which appeared in the ‘London News’ of April 1973 and in which he said that the 2 outstanding problems facing the United Kingdom are inflation and the power of organised labour. [More…]
In the United Kingdom there is dreadful trouble, even in criminal matters, when the courts have to determine what the word ‘wilfully’ means in terms of the conduct of a corporation. [More…]
Many of them are in fact, as he knows, wildcat stoppages organised by job committees almost following the pattern of the United Kingdom many years ago. [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…]
The provisions in the Bill go somewhat further and combine and incorporate improvements that have been made in the United Kingdom legislation. [More…]
The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth respectfully showeth: whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexion.

Whereas the Governments of the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognized the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania by the Soviet Union, it has been announced from Moscow that the Australian Government is now recognizing them as part of the Soviet Union.

The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth respectfully showeth: whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
I do not wish to accuse the Minister of untruths but at one stage he did say that in the past Australia took no action unless the United States of America or the United Kingdom moved first. [More…]
Australia, long before the United States and the United Kingdom, was one of the first countries to recognise the independence of Bangladesh. [More…]
The United Kingdom, the United States of America and all European countries with the exception of Sweden, Finland and Switzerland have also refused to recognise the incorporation. [More…]
Extradition treaties with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were entered into in the 1920s by the United Kingdom. [More…]
This has been commented upon in the newspapers in the United States, the United Kingdom and all over the world. [More…]
However, HawkerSiddeley Dynamics, the agents for the Corporation in the United Kingdom, did in fact display equipment manufactured by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Farnborough. [More…]
More films are now being produced in Australia than are being produced in the United Kingdom. [More…]
South Australia’s interest in uranium dates from World War II when Sir Marcus Oliphant, the present Governor of South Australia, advised the United Kingdom Government to spend funds on uranium exploration in South Australia, where the only deposits of uranium then known in Australia were located. [More…]
The results led to the establishment of the Radium Hill mining project in 1954, producing uranium oxide yellow cake from the United States-United Kingdom combined development agency over a period of 7 years. [More…]
The project was financed by the United Kingdom and the United States Governments. [More…]
Rum Jungle operation in the Northern Territory about the same time as Radium Hill, and later the mines of Mary Kathleen in Queensland and on the South Alligator River in the Northern Territory, all of which had contracts to supply the United Kingdom or the United States government agencies. [More…]
All these early uranium contracts terminated about 1964 as a result of stockpile sufficiency and lower cost supplies being available chiefly from Canada in respect of the United States and United Kingdom markets. [More…]
The plaintiff is a member and descendant of the Aboriginal people and alleges that prior to the invasion of the continent of Australia by persons from the United Kingdom, Great Britain and Ireland, the Aboriginal people enjoyed exclusive possession of the continent. [More…]
Referring to the likelihood or otherwise of judges being affected, it was stated in the quite famous Quinton Hogg case in 1968 in the United Kingdom: [More…]
The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth respectfully showeth: whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
I inform the Senate that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Willesee, will be absent from Australia until 14 October on a visit to the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I also inform the Senate that the Minister for Northern Development and Minister for the Northern Territory, Dr Patterson, will be absent from Australia until 30 September on a visit to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I wonder whether the sorts of considerations which are set out from page 179 onwards in chapter 12 of the report of the Donovan Commission- the royal commission on trade unions and employers associations conducted from 1965 to 1968 in the United Kingdom- such as of the two types of multi-unionism and the problems which arise in trying to make a major change in the basic structure of trade unionism as it has been operating for some time, would indicate that it would be more desirable at least to hear a great deal more public debate taking place in the country, not with a view to destroying trade unionism in any way or for the purpose of union bashing but with a view to asking: How could they fulfil the accepted role more satisfactorily without the sorts of problems which exist and which are exemplified in the approach of the Government, which is saying at the moment that this Bill is necessary to overcome those problems, and the approach of the Opposition, which says that the present provisions will assist in overcoming the problems. [More…]
The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth respectfully showeth: whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
Speaking of the United Kingdom he stated: [More…]
It is a serious mistake, which British economists are only too prone to make, to view the recent inflation in the United Kingdom as a unique problem in this country, to be explained by unique domestic factors and required to be handled by unique domestic measures. [More…]
Whereas the Governments of the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognized the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States of Estonia. [More…]
And social democratic governments- the government in Germany, the Labour Government in the United Kingdom and the government in Holland. [More…]
The great United Kingdom is in its present predicament largely because of the addiction of successive governments there which have espoused the cause of socialism. [More…]
The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Commonwealth respectfully showeth: whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation.

Whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
Australia’s abstention was in the company of Belgium, Burma, Canada, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, Laos, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Luxembourg and some 10 others. [More…]
It must be realised that the activities at Woomera are largely related to the requirements of the United Kingdom, which is our partner in the project. [More…]
In fact it depends largely on the negotiations between our Government, the Department of Defence and the United Kingdom authorities. [More…]
It may well be that, resulting from those discussions and negotiations with our United Kingdom partners, we will not take any action which will prevent the range from being re-activated. [More…]
The clear position is, as everybody knows, that unless there is a consistent involvement by the United Kingdom in the use of the range project the Government will have to spend many millions of dollars to keep it in the state of activity that we are used to and that we have liked in the past. [More…]
It does not happen in the United Kingdom, the United States of America or Canada. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite expect some magic kind of formula to be advanced to overcome a problem which is unable to be dealt with by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, other developed countries, or the developing countries. [More…]
Is the honourable senator unaware that inflation is raging all around the world, particularly in countries such as Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom? [More…]
The honourable senator will recall that in the previous reply of the Minister for Defence about Woomera, which I restated in the Senate, we pointed out that the future of Woomera still depends on the requirements of our partner in this venture, the United Kingdom. [More…]
While it has been decided to apply the present policy we must still find out the future requirements of the United Kingdom. [More…]
But I will try to find out from the Minister for Defence whether any negotiations between Australia and the United Kingdom will result in increased activity to the extent that the Government may have to change its policy. [More…]
The honourable senator has asked whether, in the event that the arrangements with the United Kingdom do not obtain in the future, some consideration might be given to other ventures. [More…]
The Finer Commission on one-parent families in the United Kingdom was established in 1969 to report upon the effects of Britain’s new divorce law. [More…]
The Finer Commission which examined divorce practice in the United Kingdom reached the conclusion that we can expect at least 1 5 per cent and possibly 25 per cent of all marriages to end in divorce from now on. [More…]
I found to my dismay that the United Kingdom and the United States of America had done it some dme before. [More…]
So my motivation was hardly left wing because the United Kingdom and the United States had done a lot more than we had done. [More…]
The absence of evidence-gathering powers in the United Kingdom legislation is said to seriously impede the effectiveness of that legislation. [More…]
The information on inflation rates presented in the course of the 1974 National Wage Case by counsel for the Australian Government concerned only 10 countries- viz Australia, Canada, USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. [More…]
The association between carcinoma of the breast and the use of rauwolfia derivatives- rauwolfia is the name of the drug - detected by the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program was also found in surveys from the United Kingdom and Finland. [More…]
The studies have been conducted in the United States of America at Boston under the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program, in Finland and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I was very pleased to note that countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States of America and France did veto such a motion. [More…]
In 1947-48 the then Minister for Supply in Mr Atlee ‘s Government in the United Kingdom buried in the Defence vote the sum of 780m under a false heading. [More…]
That 780m was extracted from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of the United Kingdom because the House voted for it notwithstanding its own estimates committee. [More…]
For some time now I have been making a series of representations to the Minister on behalf of a family in the United Kingdom who wanted a second assisted passage to Australia. [More…]
Finally, about a week or 10 days ago I received from the Minister a long letter in which he explained that he had taken all of my representations into account and that after giving due consideration to the matter he had decided to allow these people to come from the United Kingdom to Australia on a second assisted passage. [More…]
He said that arrangements would be made for his Department to get in touch with the family in the United Kingdom, and that in due course arrangements would be made for the family to travel to Australia. [More…]
Within an hour my secretary received a telephone call in which she was advised that the family from the United Kingdom had been in Australia for a month. [More…]
Whereas the Government of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
The association between Rauwolfia derivatives and breast cancer was first drawn to the Committee’s attention late in September 1974 following publication in the ‘Lancet’- 21 September issue- of the results of 3 epidemiological studies, one based on United States hospital admissions, another on Finnish data, and the third on United Kingdom data. [More…]
We do not want to reach the situation which is becoming notorious in the United Kingdom where litigation is financed by the Government for both plaintiffs and defendants, and counsel and solicitors are being financed by the Government as they act for parties on each side. [More…]
Yet under a Westminster system of government, such as we have in Australia, or in the States of Australia New Zealand, Canada, or the United Kingdom, the parliamentary institution has a great cloth of history with its own warp and woof. [More…]
I am told that in the United Kingdom the Divorce Reform Act of 1969, which was activated in 1971- comparatively recentlyprovides that after the commencement of the Act the sole ground for divorce shall be that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. [More…]
Some of these facts are similar to the previous grounds for divorce in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Divorce law as it functions at this moment in the United Kingdom requires 5 tests. [More…]
So much for the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia certainly leads in trendiness ahead of the United Kingdom reforms. [More…]
It seems to me that the people of the United Kingdom, Canada, West Germany, Denmark and Norway are not seeking haste with measures far more restrictive than this Bill. [More…]
Has the Government given any thought to the establishment of a national Press council along the lines of that in the United Kingdom? [More…]
I recognise the presence in the President’s Gallery of the right honourable Lord Willis of Chislehurst, a fraternal colleague from the United Kingdom House of Lords. [More…]
The present legislation provides for three 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; (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…]
Whereas the governments of the United Kingdom, United States of America. [More…]
I have in mind the present Labor Government in the United Kingdom which is in office after having polled 37 per cent of the votes. [More…]
The simple fact is that more feature films have been made in Australia this year than have been made in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The honourable senator also tries to hide the fact that inflation and unemployment are problems in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy and all the other developed countries. [More…]
Presently discussions are going on in the United Kingdom between the British and Australian officials. [More…]
One only has to look at what is happening in the United Kingdom at the moment with its socialist Government; one by one big industries are slowly being bled to death. [More…]
We acknowledge that the particular oath which is now to be taken is an oath not to the Queen of the United Kingdom, Australia and her other dominions. [More…]
However, it is fair to say that since it passed through the House of Representatives many of us had a number of representations on this Bill from various legal people, from quite a lot of financial people and from one or two associations of people involved in trade, in particular in the area of trade between Australia and the United Kingdom, and quite a number of us have discussed this Bill with these various people. [More…]
A guarantor, an insurance company, in those circumstances may well feel that it has adequate redress in the case of a foreign resident or a foreign company by a right of action in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, or some European or Asian country; but if as a result of the Bretton/Woods agreement- the International Monetary Agreements Act- that person cannot enforce his rights in those countries, what we are doing by way of legislation here will prejudice a guarantor, an insurance company, in that position. [More…]
We can do things in Australia without being the sort of derivative society that we were under the Liberal-Country Party Government that borrowed all its ideas from the United States of America or the United Kingdom. [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 whereas the Governments of the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and many European countries have not recognised the unlawful annexation of the Baltic States- Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia- by the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister of Australia has authorised the de jure recognition of this annexation. [More…]
Can the Minister obtain an up to date assessment of the number of Australians who sought mediation by Australia House when the manpower authorities in the United Kingdom declined to extend their stay in Britain in view of Britain’s Common Market obligations and the changed status of Australians in comparison with Common Market nationals? [More…]
The United Kingdom authorities do not keep figures of unsuccussful applications for extension of stay, but state that there are no indications of any increase in numbers of European Economic Community nationals entering the United Kingdom for employment since the entry of the United Kingdom to the European Economic Community. [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 Parliament on 28 February last year, she decided not to refer the questions to the Privy Council. [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 he 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 he 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…]
The Prime Minister has since had discussions with the United Kingdom Prime Minister and it has been decided that the best course to resolve these issues is to reintroduce the Bill, 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…]
Thus Labor has repudiated the North American and Western European roles which its rivals would impose upon it and continues the same role as its sister parties in the United Kingdom and New Zealand. [More…]
Thirdly, the method of requesting the United Kingdom to act is a misuse of the restrictions which are contained in the Statute of Westminster. [More…]
No Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom passed after the commencement of this Act shall extend, or be deemed to extend, to a Dominion as part of the law of that Dominion, unless it is expressly declared in that Act that that Dominion has requested, and consented to, the enactment thereof. [More…]
At the time there had been some controversy as to whether that might enable the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia to request the United Kingdom Parliament to pass laws which might affect matters affecting the States. [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…]
The view hitherto accepted by all Governments, Commonwealth and State, in Australia has been that if United Kingdom action, whether executive or legislative, is to be taken the request for it should come from the Government which it exclusively or primarily concerns, and from both the Federal and a State Government after joint consultation if it concerns them both. [More…]
But even if the external affairs power were exclusive, and there is nothing in the Commonwealth Constitution to make it- so, relations between the United Kingdom and the States on matters that form pan of the constitutional structure of the States, such as the position of a State Governor or appeals to Her Majesty in Council, are clearly not external affairs. [More…]
It would be to deny history and the very essence of State constitutional institutions to describe constitutional relationships with the United Kingdom as an external affair. [More…]
The right of a State to approach United Kingdom authorities direct on a matter that exclusively or primary concerns the State is well recognised and the absence of any right in the Commonwealth to approach those authorities on such a matter is equally well recognised. [More…]
The Parliament 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…]
The Schedule sets out the Act which this Parliament would request the United Kingdom Parliament to pass. [More…]
In dealing firstly with the question of methodology, as it might be described, let me simply say that this is not the first time this Parliament has requested the United Kingdom Parliament to act in this way. [More…]
The Minister of State for Health in the House of Commons in the United Kingdom, Mr David Owen, was quoted on 2 February 1 975 in the ‘ London Times ‘ as saying: [More…]
People from the United Kingdom who live in Adelaide are absolutely appalled at the stupidity of the Government in introducing such a scheme to Australia. [More…]
This view is also shared by many doctors from the United Kingdom who have escaped the socialism of the United Kingdom. [More…]
the United Kingdom and other countries the trend is to reduce the number of unions. [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…]
The requests were made by the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong. [More…]
Conversion in the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand is at least as far advanced as it is in this country. [More…]
Mr Michael Stewart in 1 966, a Labour Foreign Minister in the United Kingdom, made a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra- his credit would be very high in the Labor Party- and he referred to North Vietnam’s aggression and he said: ‘Make no mistake about it ‘. [More…]
In 1962 Indian and Canadian members of the International Control Commission reported to the joint chairmen of the Geneva Agreement- the United Kingdom and the U.S.S.R.- that North Vietnam was guilty of acts of aggression and subversion against South Vietnam. [More…]
He goes on to refer to the attention that the United Kingdom, Canada and even the United States had given in that field following the lead of the Australian States. [More…]
It gives little indication that some of the major lessons which can be learned from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and from the approaches in Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and other countries, have been learned. [More…]
The absence of evidencegathering powers in the United Kingdom legislation has been said to impede seriously the effectiveness of the Race Relations Board under that legislation. [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…]
Except in respect of the United Kingdom, I am unable to add to the answer that I gave to Question No. [More…]
The United Kingdom has been added to the list of countries since that date. [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…]
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…]
As I understand it, it is one of those varieties which in recent years has lost some favour in the European and United Kingdom markets. [More…]
In recent years special appropriations have comprised slightly over 50 per cent of total annual expenditure as compared with the United Kingdom where the special appropriations of that order do not normally amount to more than 10 per cent of total expenditure. [More…]
As Senator Wright pointed out, the appropriations have now reached extraordinary dimensions compared with those in the United Kingdom and vast sums of money are appropriated under these specious appropriations which have been presented to the Parliament. [More…]
I know that in the United Kingdom where the racial tensions have a far greater recognition than in Australia there has been legislation designed to avoid racial discrimination since, I think, 1966. [More…]
If one looks at the commentaries in the news reports, one realises that racial discrimination is as great and as much a source of friction in the United Kingdom today as it ever was. [More…]
Far from eliminating racial discrimination by making it illegal, the Bill will highlight the problems between the races and create an official race relations industry with a staff of dedicated anti-racists earning their living by making the most of every complaint in much the same way as does the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is a practice which has been widely accepted in North America- in both Canada and the United States- in the United Kingdom and in New Zealand. [More…]
The provisions relating to education and research in fact distinguish this legislation from the legislation in the United Kingdom which has not perhaps been as successful as the Government of that country might have wished. [More…]
If this legislation has any strong relationship with that of other countries, it is clearly with that of the provinces of Canada and not with the United Kingdom Race Relations Board. [More…]
As if that was not enough, in 1967 a similar inquiry conducted in the United Kingdom by a House of Commons Select Committee on Nationalised Industries reported as follows: [More…]
That is the position in the United States of America and in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We have the benefit of the United Kingdom and the United States experience and I believe that if we are allowed to enter into the spirit of what is spelt out in the Vernon Commission’s report, hundreds of millions of dollars will accrue to the postal services and will transform it into a viable commercial proposition of which we in Australia will be proud. [More…]
I have observed that in the United Kingdom the Post Office Corporation is now responsible for both the postal and telecommunications services. [More…]
I should like to mention that the results of the establishment of this Corporation in the United Kingdom show that it sustained a loss of more than 30m in the first 6 months of its life compared with an estimated profit of more than 100m. [More…]
Again may I refer to what has happended in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Reference was made to the corporation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
On a recent trip I looked at the United Kingdom Postal Corporation. [More…]
It is true that the United Kingdom Corporation has lost money. [More…]
The evidence that I obtained from looking at commissions overseas indicates that despite those problems in the United Kingdom corporation, as I have mentioned, all of the managers say that under the new system they are more able to exercise their responsibilities and initiatives. [More…]
Experience of the United Kingdom corporation shows that that has been greatly successful because it allows the managers to operate the business more successfully. [More…]
I pointed out that in countries with administration similar to ours, such as the United Kingdom, Sweden and Germany, these activities are under the one administration. [More…]
The following precautions are taken by the Government to prevent the introduction of rabies into Australia: Dogs and cats may be imported only from certain rabies free countries, namely, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Hawaii and Norfolk Island. [More…]
For importations from the United Kingdom and Ireland the period is 2 to 3 months, depending on whether transportation is by sea or by air. [More…]
The reason for the shorter quarantine period for animals coming from the United Kingdom and Ireland is that procedures exist in those countries for rapid identification and notification of any cases of rabies that may occur there, thus permitting Australian quarantine requirements to be modified appropriately. [More…]
The second reading speech of the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland) is somewhat uncritical in regard to large scale curriculum projects in the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Valuable assistance has been given in other countries by such groups as the National Schools Council in the United Kingdom, the Nuffield Science Project and various projects in the United States which are federally funded and which have aided teachers and pupils in many fields. [More…]
Even the United Kingdom has made reservations about the Convention. [More…]
I have obtained a copy of a monograph by someone in the United Kingdom in relation to race relations. [More…]
The population of the United Kingdom is involved in racial discrimination to an infinitely more emphatic degree than the population of this country. [More…]
That point can be emphasised somewhat by the fact that at no stage did Senator Wood bother to refer to the tribal fighting in the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is not conceivable to him that Europeans in the United Kingdom could indulge in tribal fighting as they do in Ulster, and as they have done in Ulster for many years. [More…]
If we move away from the principle of one vote one value, as the Country Party has suggested, we will fall back into the errors of the pocket borough system that once existed in the United Kingdom and that exists in Queensland at the present time. [More…]
Far from eliminating racial discrimination by making it illegal, the Bill will highlight the problems between the races and create an official race relations industry with a staff of dedicated anti-racists earning their living by making the most of every complaint in much the same way as does the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I wish to add a little which I believe has not so far been adverted to in the debate in relation to the experience of the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think it is of some interest to look at that Board’s experience, not in any way to say that this Bill should be altered in its approach or that we could do other than perhaps give some thought to the experience in the United Kingdom in reviewing from time to time how this legislation will operate in Australia. [More…]
Table 9 of the 1972 report of the Race Relations Board in the United Kingdom shows the completed cases for the period 1968 to 1972. [More…]
They are encountered particularly in countries like the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States trade union training has been proceeding in a much bigger way for a very long time. [More…]
Mr Acting Deputy President, with respect I agreed with the ruling that you made about Senator Georges’ point of order but I really think that the issue has now become merely a vehicle for expressing disagreement about trade union activities in the United Kingdom, which is far beyond the scope of the Bill. [More…]
I was about to say that Mr Timothy Raison, the Conservative member for Aylesbury, pointed out how the development in the trade union field was a matter of very great significance to parliamentary authority in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I consider that many of these people are industrial drop-outs from the United Kingdom. [More…]
They could not make the grade in the union cause in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The history of the United Kingdom and other countries shows that in the First and Second World Wars joint councils were established. [More…]
I repeat what I said earlier, namely, that if this clause is removed from the Bill I believe that it will not be worthless but will suffer from the disabilities that have been proved to bedevil similar legislation in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I know that in the United Kingdom, I think, legislation restricting free speech has had currency in times of stress, for example in the street riots of the 1930s. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the Parliamentary Counsel traditionally comes under the domain of the Treasury. [More…]
Exchange of Notes between Australia and the United Kingdom amending the Agreement for Air Services between and beyond their respective Territories, of 7 February 1958, signed at London on 13and 14February 1975. [More…]
Exchange of Notes between Australia and United Kingdom concerning amendments to the Agreement on Social Security of 29 November 1958, signed at Canberra on 6 March 1975. [More…]
The United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Japan, Sri Lanka and Canada provide some form of crop and livestock insurance. [More…]
I had some notes taken out on the behaviour on Government Bills in the United Kingdom and in the United States of America. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, New Zealand, West Germany, Sweden and France, the internal and external telecommunications services are under the control of single government authorities. [More…]
Is it a fact that the British Broadcasting Commission will not be telecasting the forthcoming test series in the United Kingdom because of the $ 1 35,000 fee required by the Postmaster-General’s Department or the Broadcasting Control Board for this service? [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 Australian dairy production. [More…]
Currently the Board has this power for the United Kingdom and by voluntary industry arrangement for cheese to Japan. [More…]
We need look no further than the Bill which was brought into the United Kingdom Parliament with regard to a closed shop for people who were employed in the newspaper industry. [More…]
He cited a number of overseas countries- the United Kingdom, New Zealand, West Germany, Sweden and Francewhere these services are under the control of a single authority. [More…]
So for a 3-minute call to the United Kingdom, which costs $6, the return to the Post Office would be $1.1 think it receives in the vicinity of 35c per paid minute. [More…]
Changes have taken place in the world demand for the products of the dairy industry, particularly with the entry of the United Kingdom into the European Economic Community. [More…]
We also are aware of individual borrowings of US$ 1 billion or more by the United Kingdom, Japan and France. [More…]
I table a copy of this, together with a report which was sought and obtained by the Permanent Head of my Department that day from Mr C. R. Drover, a senior partner of Messrs Coward Chance and Company, who have for so very many years been the legal advisers in the United Kingdom of the Australian Government. [More…]
What that document states is that there are practices in the United Kingdom, there are practices before the courts, there is a practice in the United States of America and there is a practice within Australia under which claims which are made by the Executive in the name of privilege- to refuse to answer questions or to produce documents when requested. [More…]
If I recollect correctly it was Senator Sir Magnus Cormack who pointed out that this had been the custom and practice of the Westminster system of Parliament in the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand as well as in Australia. [More…]
Since 1 March 1975, it has been a requirement of the United Kingdom authorities that all passengers passing through immigration control and not being holders of United Kingdom passports complete landing or embarkation cards at the point of entry or departure. [More…]
In addition I understand that recently the Minister for Defence, Mr Morrison, has made reciprocal arrangements with the United Kingdom Government in relation to possible purchases. [More…]
If Senator Webster looks at the statistics he will find that the Arabs are not involved in this field at all; it is partly the United Kingdom and partly the United States, with a few other smaller interests being involved. [More…]
It provided that thenceforth it would not legislate with respect to the dominions, and in 1942 the Australian Parliament enacted the Statute of Westminster in which it acknowledged Australia’s sovereignty and the recognition by the United Kingdom that it would not legislate for the Australian dominions unless, in particular circumstances, there was a request by and the consent of the Australian Parliament- the Commonwealth Parliament- for such legislation. [More…]
Of course, at that time the Queen was the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom and we adopted that provision in our own Constitution. [More…]
It is important to realise that in those countries which have set out to achieve integration of command and administration- countries such as the United Kingdom, America and Canada- no perfect or near-perfect system has been developed. [More…]
If we were to look towards the United Kingdom we would find queries again as to the functions of the centralisation of power. [More…]
Finland was ranked as fair; Italy as appalling; Canada as grim; Australia as grim; the United Kingdom, which has a Labor government, as grim; New Zealand, which admittedly has a Labor Government but a more responsible one, as fair; and so on. [More…]
The only countries which were ranked as being grim were Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
We see deep recession in the United States, in the United Kingdom, throughout Europe and in Japan and, of course, it is a matter of notoriety that these are countries with a great variety of types of government, yet they all share similar problems. [More…]
The one exception is the United Kingdom. [More…]
If ever there is an example of how we cannot afford to accept this position it lies in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, as I have said, there are further manifestations of the problem of union demands which have been quite impossible to resist whether the government in Westminster has been a Tory government or a Labour government. [More…]
The only 2 nations ahead of us are the United Kingdom, with a socialist government, on 25 per cent, and Italy on 20 per cent. [More…]
In response to Senator Wright’s claim that a record amount of money was being spent on education, we said at that time that it would be necessary to spend at least 4 times as much to give Australian children a standard of education equal to that given to those attending schools in the United States of America, Sweden, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom or any other advanced nation. [More…]
For example, in the United Kingdom a rate of 14c Australian is proposed. [More…]
That figure becomes 31c Australian when it is adjusted to reflect the relationship between United Kingdom average weekly earnings of $66.05 and Australian average weekly earnings of $143.60. [More…]
He forgot that the beginnings of equal opportunity occurred when Sir Robert Menzies brought Professor Murray to Australia from the United Kingdom to advise on universities. [More…]
Australia was effected by an Order-in-council made under the Cocos Islands Act 1955 of the United Kingdom and by the Cocos (Keeling) Islands Act 1955 of Australia. [More…]
Further information is being sought on this matter from the United States and the United Kingdom. [More…]
A great deal of research is being carried out in countries like the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Japan and the continent of Europe. [More…]
In the United Kingdom it was 4.8 per cent and it is now 5.7 per cent. [More…]
As this purchase is of United Kingdom origin, I ask the Minister: What arrangements are being made to involve Australian industry in the project, and what is the extent of Australian manufacture? [More…]
-As Senator Drury has mentioned, Mr Morrison already has announced that the Government intends to purchase the United Kingdom manufactured Rapier system to replace the out of date Bofors anti-aircraft system. [More…]
The British Aircraft Corporation, which does the work in the United Kingdom, will be doing the work in South Australia. [More…]
Yet if we look at the figures relating to inflation we find that between December 1973 and December 1974 inflation in the United Kingdom was running at some 18.4 per cent, in Italy at some 25.8 per cent, which is highly inflationary, in the United States at 12.1 per cent, and in Japan at the frightening figure of some 23.4 per cent. [More…]
Then if we look at the figures relating to the period between June 1974 and June 1975, and unfortunately I do not have any later figures than these, but they are still worth quoting, the rate of inflation in the United Kingdom increased and it is now running at some 26 per cent. [More…]
In fact, if the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willesee) took some care to read his history, he would recollect that one of the great foreign ministers of the United Kingdom in the 19th century, Palmerston, made that great speech in the House of Commons in which he quoted the Latin phrase, civis Britannicus sum.- I am a British citizen. [More…]
I have not been able to get any information about the question regarding Adelaide, but I am now told that currently a series of trials are being done by professional men from the United Kingdom who have had wide experience in the operation and handling of these birds at aerodromes in that country. [More…]
It could not happen 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 and both laws applied 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 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…]
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…]
I draw the attention of honourable senators to the presence in the Gallery of a parliamentary delegation from the United Kingdom Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. [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, United States of America. [More…]
It shows quite clearly that the cost of drugs in the United Kingdom and Canada has stayed about the same, the cost in Australia has fallen dramatically and costs in the United States and Sweden have risen markedly. [More…]
United Kingdom, South Africa and heredifferences which could not be accounted for by freights or by any reasonable assessment of the production costs. [More…]
Despite the fact that some 2 years ago some Opposition members were party to the recommendation of the Joint Committee on Prices and in particular were party to paragraphs 92 and 93 of the report which pointed out the impossibility of working out these prices and taking into consideration the whole profitability of the drug companies, and despite the fact that the report from the Committee pointed out that there was a regulations scheme in the United Kingdom which also showed that the whole profitability of the company cannot be used in working out the prices, the Opposition is now in the embarrassing situation, because of pressures from the industry, that it does not want to pass this Bill. [More…]
Let us remember that the successful treatment of tuberculosis in Britain saved the United Kingdom economy 55m annually at a time when the total drug bill for the United Kingdom was f 100m. [More…]
For example, we know that in the United Kingdom there is a voluntary price regulation scheme. [More…]
Our drugs compare well in price with drugs in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United Kingdom negotiates price changes not on the basis of drug by drug but on the basis of total profitability for the pharmaceutical company based on an annual overall return on the capital employed. [More…]
Unlike the Senate in Canada, which is nominated for life, unlike the House of Lords in the United Kingdom, the Senate in Australia is answerable to the people of Australia. [More…]
In the United States it is 3.5 per cent and it is estimated that it will climb to 5.3 per cent during this financial year; in Canada it is 2.5 per cent; in Japan it is 3.7 per cent; in the United Kingdom it is 8.4 per cent; in Germany it is 3.9 per cent and in New Zealand it is 4.9 per cent. [More…]
West Germany and the United Kingdom have arranged a number of barter deals with the U.S.S.R. and very recently the European Economic Community Commission has been making the arrangements on a group basis. [More…]
Extensive research has been carried out not only in Australia but also overseas, especially in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. [More…]
In the United Kingdom, where a host of charitable salaried law centres have sprung up in response to evident need, the Law Society has been pressing for years for funds to set up a salaried service of its own. [More…]
I might point out to honourable senators that the United Kingdom legislation provides for the Law Society’s scheme to operate under ‘the general guidance’ of the Lord Chancellor. [More…]
The usefulness of such a body has been shown by the United Kingdom experience with the Lord Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on legal aid. [More…]
Very slight irregularities in the United Kingdom resulted in 2 Treasurers resigning. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the death penalty is provided for stealing sheep. [More…]
The United Kingdom has a law to prevent anyone leaving the district on a Sunday. [More…]
I am the manager of Dalamal and Sons (Commodities) Ltd, a company duly incorporated in the United Kingdom and having its office at 8 West Eaton Place, London in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United States had an increase of 1.9 per cent, Canada 1.2 per cent, Japan 3.2 per cent, West Germany 0.6 per cent and the United Kingdom had a negative growth rate- minus 7.5 per cent. [More…]
I understand that late last year an international priority paid mail service was introduced for urgent mail to the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Since that action was taken, several countries have expressed interest in the service which currently provides for delivery of mail within 48 hours to many places in the United States of America and selected cities in the United Kingdom, and a reciprocal service to Australia is available in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
This decision has been reached following months of negotiations between United Kingdom and Australian officials. [More…]
There was a complete reversal of our foreign policy away from our traditional friends of the United Kingdom, the United States, South Africa and Rhodesia. [More…]
I surely do not need to recall to the minds of honourable senators the very difficult economic conditions that existed in the United Kingdom when Mr Heath was in trouble some Vh years or 3 years ago. [More…]
But when the rates rise again, as they will do on 1 July 1976, the disparity will widen to the point where the cost of shipping Australian canned fruits to the United Kingdom and Europe will be 10 1 per cent higher than the cost of taking fruit from South Africa to the same markets. [More…]
But equally, when I worked in the United Kingdom and when I worked in some of the outpatient departments in our hospitals, I was appalled by the waste of drugs which occurs when they are free at the point of distribution. [More…]
Senator will recall that the decision to rundown the joint project to a care and maintenance basis follows months of negotiation between United Kingdom and Australian officials. [More…]
It has been a feature of political debate in the Western world that goes back, I suppose, to the New Deal of Franklin Roosevelt in the early 1930s and that certainly was given accelerated force by the Labour victory in the United Kingdom in 1945, that there should be greater participation by government in not only the control but also the production of the resources of the economy. [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…]
One only has to consider the experience of the United Kingdom in this matter. [More…]
The Victorian Government has set up a program with the United Kingdom to find a virus sensitive to European carp. [More…]
I have practised medicine in 3 countries- in Australia, in the United Kingdom and in the United States. [More…]
The industry grew up when we had complete access to the United Kingdom market for everything that it could produce. [More…]
They will take over Australia’s position as a fruit exporter in the EEC and particularly the United Kingdom. [More…]
Our main markets are New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and West Germany. [More…]
As a result of that a team led by Air ViceMarshal F. S. Robey visited the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Sweden and France in March-April 1973 to investigate several contenders for the Mirage replacement and to report on their suitability, cost and technical risk. [More…]
The Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) has asked the Returned Services League whether at the Government’s expense it would be happy to send either its President or Vice-President to the United Kingdom for the funeral. [More…]
I should have thought that because the incidence of bribery and corruption in foreign ports, particularly in the area of shipping, and in the transportation of goods inside countries, would appear to be fairly high, this announcement would have brought a much larger response, not only in the United Kingdom but also in Australia. [More…]
The State Ministers will have a role in recruiting migrants from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The point I am getting at is that in the sporting field a parliamentarian on numerous occasions has to be a mediator in relation to United Kingdom or Irish migrants, because at times clubs try to play it a little hard in relation to the conditions of entry. [More…]
Honourable senators would know that I was in the United Kingdom as late as last week. [More…]
In Western Australia there was some concern on the part of both United Kingdom migrant associations and the building trades about some migrant agencies using a sort of a carrot; they offered certain accommodation. [More…]
The decision to involve State governments in migration from Britain was made in 1946 by the then Australian Labor Party Government and that decision was to make the State authorities responsible for receiving and assessing personal and group nominations in respect of United Kingdom citizens resident in Britain. [More…]
Until January 1975 United Kingdom citizens of European descent did not require authority to enter Australia. [More…]
It would have been particularly confusing to nominators in Australia if responsibility for receiving nominations in respect of United Kingdom citizens in Britain was divided between the Commonwealth, responsible for the unassisted, and the States, responsible for the assisted. [More…]
Does the list of contributing countries include the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway and Canada. [More…]
I refer to the explanation which the Minister gave during the adjournment debate on the future role of State governments in the intake of United Kingdom migrants. [More…]
With regard to the first part of the question, I am able to inform the honourable senator that the matters to which I referred last night on behalf of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs apply to all citizens of the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland; but, I am sorry to say, they do not apply to citizens of the Republic of Ireland. [More…]
Double-year citations are not used in Canada, New Zealand or South Africa and are not generally used in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Will the Minister, before granting entry visas to teachers from the United Kingdom or elsewhere, assure himself that Australian teachers will not be displaced or denied jobs because of this action? [More…]
It so happens, and this adds to the disgrace which comes upon this defamer by the name of E. G. Whitlam, that during the two or three years prior to 1960 there was an irresponsible, undischarged bankrupt of the same level of mental imbalance as the recent visitor from the United Kingdom by the name of Stonehouse and of a level comparable to E. G. Whitlam. [More…]
In the light of the Green Paper circulated by the British Government on the future acceptance of some types of British passports, including those of residents in Australia, will our High Commissioner in the United Kingdom maintain close liaison with the British Government, since our policy of favoured nations does apply to United Kingdom nationals entering Australia? [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…]
In 1975 a limit was placed on this supplementary support, of 80c per bushel on a maximum quantity of 3.04 million bushels of apples exported ‘at risk’ to the 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 United Kingdom/Europe 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 strong recommendation for their support. [More…]
Moreover in view of the absence of visa requirements up to January 1975 for United Kingdom citizens wishing to enter Australia it would not have been surprising if there had been a higher rate of departure from Australia by British migrants than by other migrants. [More…]
a ) the United Kingdom, and [More…]
What number of applications have been approved from- t a ) the United Kingdom, and [More…]
a ) the United Kingdom, and [More…]
The other information which I sought was the extra expenditure of $60,500 under the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, added to the $38,000 which had been appropriated in 1 975-76, for funds required to meet the cost of the Governor-General’s official visit to the United Kingdom and Europe from 23 December 1975 to 3 February 1976. [More…]
In the United Kingdom in 1960-61 the prevalence was 2 per cent and work has been proceeding on the problem ever since. [More…]
The support- this is what the legislation is about- will be confined to at risk sales to Europe, including the United Kingdom and North America. [More…]
In addition to stabilisation payments the Australian Government joined on a State for State basis with the Tasmanian, Western Australian and Queensland Governments in providing special assistance to growers exporting at risk to the United Kingdom and other European markets in the 1974 season. [More…]
He will also visit migration centres in the United Kingdom and Europe and represent the Government at independence celebrations in the Seychelles. [More…]
Is the Minister satisfied that Government policy in regard to the issue of permanent entry permits to United Kingdom applicants is being carried out by officers of the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. [More…]
Will the Minister satisfy himself that the rejection of the applications by the Department do not contravene stated Government policy in regard to United Kingdom applicants. [More…]
It inspected postal services in the United Kingdom, Sweden, the United States and Canada. [More…]
By way of preface I refer to the rather unusual decision of the Minister for Transport in relying heavily on United Kingdom environmental criteria to permit nights of the Concorde aircraft into Australia. [More…]
Is it planned that 100 teachers from the United Kingdom will arrive in Victoria on I September this year? [More…]
I would have thought that the former Labor Government would have used the United Kingdom health scheme as an example. [More…]
Over there, due to over utilisationthere are long waiting lists for surgical procedures in hospitals- there has been a drain of United Kingdom doctors overseas. [More…]
Was an assertion made in the ‘ Insider Column ‘ of the Sydney Morning Herald of 12 May 1976, that several United Kingdom nationals are facing deportation, although they have no criminal records; if so, what is the basis of such deportations. [More…]
However, United Kingdom citizens who enter or remain in Australia in circumstances in which they become prohibited immigrants render themselves liable for deportation. [More…]
I want to draw the attention of honourable senators also to the fact that in western Europe- and no doubt in eastern Europemany hundreds of military aircraft, flying out of countries such as the United Kingdom, France etcetera, are flying intercontinentally continuously daily, and that the total of these and the total experience militarily day by day, week by week, over the years- and indeed over the decade- has been quite massive. [More…]
The Minister will recall a question I asked him on Wednesday last, which in part was relative to reports that 100 school teachers from the United Kingdom will arrive in Australia on 1 September. [More…]
Will the Minister consult with his counterpart in Victoria and, if it is a fact that there is now a surplus of teachers in that State, will he ask the Minister for Immigration to curtail the issue of visas to the teachers from the United Kingdom? [More…]
That report was to take into consideration the developments which were to accrue and which subsequently did accrue as a result of the development of the European Economic Community and particularly as a result of the lucrative market of the United Kingdom going into the EEC. [More…]
How many persons are employed on migration matters by the Australian Government in other parts of the United Kingdom? [More…]
Are the staffing arrangements for migrant recruitment by the Australian Government in the United Kingdom to be varied in the next six months; if so, what changes are to take place? [More…]
There are 36 persons employed on migration matters by the Australian Government in other parts of the United Kingdom. [More…]
There will be no variations in staffing arrangements for migrant recruitment in the United Kingdom in the next six months. [More…]
The governments involved in the OECD are: The governments of the Commonwealth of Australia, the Republic of Austria, the Kingdom of Belgium, Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, Finland, the French Republic, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Hellenic Republic, the Republic of Iceland, Ireland, the Italian Republic, Japan, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, New Zealand, the Kingdom of Norway, the Portuguese Republic, Spain, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Swiss Confederation, the Republic of Turkey, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America. [More…]
This brought to Australia some United Kingdom experts who were interested in the treatment of child abuse. [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…]
In 1973, to maintain their shipbuilding industries, Japan spent $500m, Spain $60m, Sweden $85m, Germany DM 100m, Norway $160m, the United Kingdom $50m and France between $400m and $500m. [More…]
I only mention that point because for 3 years we had to put up with bleating accusations from the then Opposition that in some way we were responsible for consumer habits of countries like Japan, the United States and the United Kingdom which adversely affected the rural industry in this country. [More…]
It is a fact that a recent arrival from England, a Mr Moore, was hospitalised in Fairfield because he had been in contact in the United Kingdom with a lassa fever suspect. [More…]
When Mr David Jull spoke during the debate on this matter in another place he quoted statistics relating to the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
The ban had the opposite effect in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Advertising of cigarettes on television and radio was banned in Canada as early as 1 January 1 972; in the United States of America it was banned in January 1971 and in the United Kingdom in August 1 965. [More…]
The United Kingdom followed in 1967. [More…]
The third country with which comparison was made is the United Kingdom where a consensus has been reached on the anticipated increase in the rate of wages for the next 12 months. [More…]
The point about the situation in the United Kingdom now is that a consensus on wages policy has been reached between the British Labor Government and the trade unions. [More…]
In referring further to wage comparisons between Australia and other countries the report to which I have referred says that Australia’s wages are by far the highest when compared with 7 other member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development The next highest was the United Kingdom with an increase of 26 per cent a year. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that the Government of the United States of America has won support for this basic democratic principle from the United Kingdom, French and other European governments as well as the South African Government? [More…]
What he neglected to mention and what totally destroys the argument he tried to put forward is the fact that the United States is held up by the medical profession in this country, the United Kingdom and by those reactionary sections of the medical profession anywhere in the world where a national health scheme operates as a perfect model of the practice of medicine incorporating the system of free enterprise. [More…]
A contract was then let to Longwings Ltd in the United Kingdom for the period February- June 1976 at a cost of $31,642 to carry out this trial. [More…]
On this basis, and with particular reference to reported effectiveness on United States Air Force Bases in the United Kingdom, a study to test the effectiveness under Australian conditions was initiated. [More…]
This includes amounts paid under reciprocal agreements to Australian residents temporarily in the United Kingdom and New Zealand or otherwise temporarily abroad. [More…]
Any long term residents of the islands who have not become Australian citizens by either of the means mentioned would almost certainly have the status of British subjects as the islands were pan of the United Kingdom and colonies before they became Australian territory. [More…]
New Zealand’s figures have fallen as have the figures for Ireland, Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Japan’s share has risen very considerably, from 1 7 per cent to 33 per cent, whereas the United Kingdom’s share has fallen from 17 per cent to 4 per cent. [More…]
Is the Minister aware of the concern of families in Australia, who have relatives in the United Kingdom and other countries and who are from time to time the recipients of small gift parcels from relatives and friends, about what appears to be a hardening attitude and an insistence upon the collection of duty on these gifts? [More…]
As the recipient of such parcels from the United Kingdom over very many years of my married life, I am particularly sympathetic to the question that Senator Devitt has raised. [More…]
It is a matter of considerable interest to very large numbers of people, particularly in view of the very high and continuing level of migration from the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I understand the proposition, it was part of the arrangement when the Government of the United Kingdom said that Australia could have Christmas Island. [More…]
The people who are employed on Christmas Island, whether they come from Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore or Malaysia, come voluntarily. [More…]
The great nations of Europe and nations such as Canada, West Germany, the United States of America and even the United Kingdom have tested centralism, have found it failing and are setting up internal structures today to decentralise power, to devolve duties and to bring in federalism. [More…]
The Bill technically achieves its 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 make plain the intention that the defined term is not to apply only to payments made to residents of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The United States of America, the United Kingdom and France and practically every other country in the Western world are in a desperate position when it comes to unemployment. [More…]
But in the United States, as I pointed out earlier to Senator Walters, in the United Kingdom and in most other Western countries the problem of unemployment is inherent. [More…]
2) is 39.64 per cent only of the Budget, as compared with the United Kingdom, where the special appropriations are 7.5 per cent and the annual appropriations that go before the House of Commons, which does not have the advantage of a Senate, are 92.5 per cent. [More…]
Was not the plant at Evandale, Port Pirie, built for the purpose of treating uranium from Radium Hill to supply the requirements of the United States and the United Kingdom Combined Development Agency? [More…]
Ltd of the United Kingdom. [More…]
It said that Sir John Hill, the Chairman of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority, described the reports as a figment of the imagination. [More…]
At present, horses, dogs and cats are permitted importation under quarantine control from the United Kingdom and Ireland. [More…]
Do I need remind the Senate that Lloyd George in the United Kingdom fought and won an election on a hang the Kaiser campaign? [More…]
I now seek leave to incorporate the second one which shows public expenditure on education as a percentage of gross national product for 4 countries- the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United States of America and Australia. [More…]
For instance, in the year 1960 the percentage of public expenditure on education as a percentage of gross national product in the United Kingdom was 4.3 per cent; in the U.S.S.R. it was 5.9 per cent; in the U.S.A. it was 4 per cent; and in Australia it was 2.9 per cent. [More…]
1 per cent in the United Kingdom, 7.3 per cent in the United States of America and 7.9 per cent in the Netherlands. [More…]
This was a rapid increase and yet one that cannot be called unjustified in world terms as it still left us quite significantly behind countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. [More…]
The Commission goes on to say: we are satisfied that an attempt to divide responsibility for economic policy from that for the formulation of the Budget (and therefore from a major influence on the Forward Estimates processes) would either fail (as it did in the United Kingdom) or greatly weaken the effectiveness of economic policy. [More…]
Overseas experience shows that similar organisations in the United Kingdom and the United States of America have had considerably larger memberships then seven. [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…]
Legislation was enacted to ensure that the United States claims would not be effective, and I refer honourable senators in this connection to the United Kingdom Shipping Contracts and Commercial Documents Act 1964. [More…]
Canada and the United Kingdom have had to take similar steps to protect their own interests under somewhat similar circumstances but involving different commodities. [More…]
Given that situation that has arisen, the Bill endeavours to ensure that those laws which are far outside the ordinary ambit of international law which have been restricted by legislation in other circumstances in the United Kingdom and actually in relation to the same circumstances in Canada are given effect to in this country. [More…]
As to the second question, the medal will be issued to members of the armed forces, the public services and to others who have performed service to the Crown in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. [More…]
They are based on a comparison of the size of Australia with the United States of America and the United Kingdom and the fact that the United States has a similar body of about 1 8 or 1 9 members and the position in the United Kingdom is the same. [More…]
I draw the attention of honourable senators to the presence in the Gallery of a delegation of the United Kingdom Branch of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. [More…]
There has been some reliance in the past on the United Kingdom definition of that word. [More…]
This clause specifically declares that the proposed amendments are for the avoidance of doubt and, in particular, are not to be taken as implying that the definition of ‘royalty ‘ inserted in the Assessment Act in 1968 did not apply in relation to payments made to residents of countries other than the United kingdom, or for the purpose of double taxation agreements in which the term ‘royalties’ is not defined. [More…]
The document shows the rates being charged for December 1975 and June 1976 in several countries, namely, Canada, France Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. [More…]
If one starts from the premise that policy decisions of Ministers should not be examinable, then, subject to the problem of determining whether a decision is one of policy or of administration only, the United Kingdom Act alone has any basis in logic. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that a spokesman for the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Commission has said that this is highly unlikely? [More…]
Countries like the United Kingdom and the United States have one pharmacist for about every 4500 people in the community. [More…]
In Germany, France and the United Kingdom the cost of coal today is something like $ US 50 a ton, while Australia is in a very fortunate position of being able to produce coal for home consumption at somewhere between $2 and $9 a tonne. [More…]
Serious questions have been raised by, for instance, the Flowers royal commission in the United Kingdom about the plans by the English electricity commission to accelerate rapidly into a large program of breeder reactors. [More…]
In Australia we have had experience in the mining and processing of uranium This dates back to 1944 when the United Kingdom Government and the United States Government suggested that we ought to search for uranium in this country. [More…]
In particular he ignored the postscript of the report which dealt with the findings of the United Kingdom Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution which speaks of the very questions that he raised. [More…]
In respect of general nuclear policy for the United Kingdom that report reads: [More…]
The United Kingdom and the European Economic Community had slipped away. [More…]
The United Kingdom Department of Energy in a paper prepared for the National Energy Conference in June 1976 estimated that the demand for primary fuels between 1975 and 1985 is likely to increase by between 1.6 and 3.1 per cent per annum depending on the assumptions used. [More…]
The Minister for Defence has directed that an inquiry be conducted into all aspects of the material buried at Maralinga as a consequence ofthe tests conducted under the auspices of the Memorandum of Arrangements between the United Kingdom and Australian Governments. [More…]
This Convention came into force internationally in 1968, but the relevant law in Australia still consists of Part VIII of the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
In order to give effect to the Convention, Clause 50 of the Bill repeals Part VIII of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act. [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 British ship whilst visiting ports 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…]
That Convention was signed by the Government of Australia in 1974 and has been signed by a number of other countries including Canada, the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Will the Minister confirm that the Australian immigration office in the United Kingdom advertised during midJanuary 1977 for potential migrants in the skilled trades? [More…]
Is the Minister aware of a great deal of unrest amongst the unemployed migrants at the Graylands hostel in Western Australia, a great number of whom feel that they were conned into migrating virtually under false pretences by over anxious recruiters in the United Kingdom? [More…]
It has seen to it that there is a division of responsibility that is the counterpart of the more advanced management practices of treasuries in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Scandinavian countries. [More…]
In contrast, the continuing high level of inflation in the United Kingdom was accompanied by a reduction in the real level of person consumption spending. [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…]
I do not think we can have much confidence in conventions of this kind; we can only hope that they will achieve the desired result and that their ratification by countries such as Australia and other signatories such as the United Soviet Socialist Republics and the United Kingdom will go some way towards preventing the use and stockpiling of weapons of this kind. [More…]
There was quite a deal of publicity at the time concerning a tripartite agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada for the testing of biological weapons. [More…]
Senator Georges and Senator Cavanagh both asked questions in relation to an alleged tripartite agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada for the testing of biological weapons. [More…]
Senator Georges referred to a tripartite agreement between Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. [More…]
Senator Cavanagh referred to an agreement between the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. [More…]
It seems that Senator Cavanagh probably had in mind the articles of agreement governing collaboration between the authorities of the United States and the United Kingdom in the matter of tube alloys signed by Messrs Roosevelt and Churchill in Quebec on 19 August 1943. [More…]
United States, the United Kingdom and Canada relating to atomic energy which was signed in Washington on 15 [More…]
I am still dependent upon my memory to support my contention that there was a tripartite arrangement between the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada and that this tripartite arrangement was the subject of a report to the House of Commons which led to a question being asked by Mr Dalyell, M.P. [More…]
Its erstwhile National Country Party colleague, Mr John England, has been made Administrator of the Northern Territory and, of course, its erstwhile Liberal colleague, Mr Freeth, has now been appointed High Commissioner to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Those countries have proved to be more efficient in this industry than most of the shipbuilding industries of Europe including the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Canada. [More…]
The AAEC has also imported from the United Kingdom milligram quantities of plutonium contained in sealed instruments for use in scientific research, and several plutonium samples for experiments in nuclear physics. [More…]
Of this approximately 2.28 kilograms came from the United States of America, 6 1 1 grams were generated in Australia in fuel elements in the AAEC’s reactor HIFAR, 690 milligrams originated in the United Kingdom and 320 milligrams were obtained from France. [More…]
Was there made available to the House of Commons Parliamentary Library the substance of a report compiled 8 years ago for the Department of Health in the United Kingdom, together with an updated revised version of the report. [More…]
My Department was advised by the United Kingdom Department of Health and Social Security that no reports had recently been made public, and I presume that the United Kingdom department did not consider either the 1968 report, or its revision in 1971, to be recent. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that the West German and United Kingdom governments have been opposing the United Nations Conference of Trade and Development (UNCTAD) proposals for a Common Fund, on the grounds that the 2 main beneficiaries are Australia and Canada, not the poorest of poor nations. [More…]
All developed countries which participated in the Fourth United Nations Conference on Trade and Development held in Nairobi last year, including the United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany, joined in the adoption by consensus of a resolution on an Integrated Programme for Commodities which, among other things, set out steps to be taken towards the negotiation of a common fund. [More…]
To date, all Australian road authorities have relied for assistance on receiving reports of tests made in the United States and the United Kingdom and we have not conducted them here. [More…]
It refers to trade union leaders in the United Kingdom. [More…]
We only have to look at what is happening in the United Kingdom to see that such an attitude does not work. [More…]
The Government in the United Kingdom has been changing its policies and doing all sorts of things. [More…]
Productivity in the United Kingdom increased by 0.30 per cent but their inflation was running at 16 per cent. [More…]
But if we go further and relate these figures to the changes in the hourly wage rates in manufacturing between 1972 and 1976 we find that in that period in the United States of America there was an increase of nearly 39 per cent in that rate; in Japan a 53 per cent increase; in Germany a 43 per cent increase; in the United Kingdom an increase of 109.5 per cent; and in Australia an increase of 100.6 per cent. [More…]
In Japan 400 days were lost per 1000 people employed; in Germany, 10 days; in the United Kingdom, 540 days- that surprised me; and in Australia 1390 days. [More…]
Of the 1 1 countries shown- Canada, the United States of America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom- where the gross domestic product was divided by the labour force to produce the gross domestic product per member of the labour force, Australia rated seventh. [More…]
Governments in the United Kingdom have totally failed to solve the problem of unions regarding themselves as being above the law as we have failed to solve that problem in this country. [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 1 975 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…]
Referring to earlier times, prior to 1935 Australia looked predominantly towards the United Kingdom and virtually regarded herself as a child of the mother country. [More…]
What we are debating here is a proposal for a maximum price of $2 a box of apples up to 2 million boxes sold at risk in markets in Europe, including the United Kingdom, and a maximum subsidy in relation to pears of 80 cents a box up to 1.4 million boxes for sale at risk in markets in Europe and the United States. [More…]
I have before me some figures which show that sales of Western Australian apples to the United Kingdom in 1975 amounted to 860 000 bushels. [More…]
In 1976 they amounted to 720 000 bushels, and it is estimated that in 1977 our exports to the United Kingdom will show a drop to about 160 000 bushels. [More…]
In conversation with one of the leading exporters in Western Australia, he pointed out to me that there was a problem last year with the standard of packing of some of the Tasmanian apples that were sent to the United Kingdom. [More…]
The main reason is that traditionally we have depended on the United Kingdom market. [More…]
Because of the United Kingdom’s entry into the European Economic Community that market is not so readily available to us now. [More…]
Another important reason why we are not getting as much fruit into the United Kingdom now, is that in recent years controlled atmosphere storage has been developed. [More…]
Instead of the United Kingdom’s local production being available purely seasonally the local produce can be fed onto the market 12 months of the year. [More…]
The market is not now available to the traditional suppliers of apples, in particular, and pears to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Formerly we could send supplies to the United Kingdom during its off season. [More…]
In his second reading speech the Minister pointed out that apple exports in 1976 to the United Kingdom and Europe were almost 2.4 million boxes- about one million boxes below the level of exports in 1975. [More…]
That is a drop in trade for these commodities of about 30 per cent to the United Kingdom and Europe alone. [More…]
If apples and pears continue to be produced at the existing crop production rate and if our export market continues to fall- the Minister has already said that the market to Europe and the United Kingdom fell by 1 million boxes last year; a fall of 30 per cent- our domestic market will be seriously glutted, resulting probably in further extensive and expensive Government support. [More…]
I should like to ask why the stabilisation scheme applies only to apples exported to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
There has been a substantial fall in the amount of Australian apples and pears landed in Europe and the United Kingdom. [More…]
As most honourable senators know, the scheme is based on a maximum level of support of $2 a case for some 2 million boxes of apples sold at risk in Europe and in the United Kingdom markets and of 80 cents a box for 1 400 000 boxes of pears sold at risk on the same market. [More…]
The consequence was that this year the importing agents in the United Kingdom simply said: ‘We are broke. [More…]
Today there have developed in the industry, firstly, freight demands that are very critical; secondly, internal production costs have dwarfed the economy of this primary industry in comparison with the economies of other industries of Australia so as to reduce the apple and pear producer to a level of economy that is not respectable from the point of view of parliamentary performance in relation to other strata of our people; thirdly, the industry is beset with unsurpassed marketing difficulties, accentuated by the probable advent of the United Kingdom into the European economic community. [More…]
The IAC saw no improvement likely in the situation in traditional export markets in the United Kingdom and Europe in the long term. [More…]
I am merely saying that it is rather sad that Sim has to be involved in legal expenses in a High Court action in the United Kingdom when, if there had been some rapport between the various governments and the people involved, that $lm could have been put to the immediate benefit of the people who claim to have been offended by the actions of the British Phosphate Commission over the years. [More…]
On average, an Indian has a daily intake of 1900 calories; a Kenyan, 2240 calories; a Peruvian, 2300 calories compared with 3 1 80 in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the average protein intake is 88 grams per person per day. [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 or to regulate overseas military activities of Australiansexcept incursion activities dealt with under clause 6- but it was desirable to control recruitment within Australia of mercenaries for service in foreign forces. [More…]
If this were a sufficient ground for preventing United Kingdom citizens from going abroad, anyone who was poor could be debarred from travelling. [More…]
To prevent an individual from carrying on any particular activity involves some restriction on his freedom particularly if it affects his livelihood, but the curtailment of freedom involved in the prohibition of what can at most be an intermittent activity of recruiting mercenaries in the United Kingdom is a minor one and does not require a high degree of danger to the public interest in order to justify it. [More…]
On the other hand although, as will later appear, we do not think there are any means by which it would be practicable to prevent a United Kingdom citizen from volunteering while he is abroad to serve as a mercenary and from leaving the United Kingdom to do so, we should regard any attempt to impose such a prohibition upon him by law as involving a deprivation of his freedom to do as he will which would require to be justified by a much more compelling reason of public policy than the prohibition of active recruiting of mercenaries within the United Kingdom. [More…]
Like other honourable senators I was attracted to the committee set up in the United Kingdom following the Angolan exercise when, I think, 160 citizens of the United Kingdom enrolled as mercenaries following advertisements in Great Britain and took up the cause, I believe, of the FNLA- the National Front for the Liberation of Angola against the MPLA- the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola in the Angolan conflict. [More…]

Matabele and the whites by the more populous Mashona- a situation that could not bring peace, order or good government to Rhodesia- Mr Smith had to declare independence unilaterally from the United Kingdom, whose responsibility for its control was slight in law and slighter politically. [More…]
It has been hindered only by the role played by the United Nations, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other outside interference. [More…]
In Britain’s view, Rhodesia’s unilateral declaration of independence did not make Rhodesia an independent state which she had clearly proven herself to be both before and after the unilateral declaration of independence but had reverted the country to the status of colony for which the United Kingdom was the responsible administering power.

-As Senator Button reminds me, there is a Labor Government in the United Kingdom- a government which, as I understand it, is expanding its nuclear power stations. [More…]
So are their socialist brethren in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think that, if we compare the situation here with that which exists in comparable countries like Canada and the United Kingdom, we will see part of the problem that we face. [More…]
Let us look now at the United Kingdom. [More…]
Studies undertaken by the United Kingdom Department of Labour indicate that the great percentage of this hidden ingredient are women. [More…]

[More…]
He plucked out the figure of 11,290 which is the number of people who were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland. [More…]
Of course those migrants, particularly those 1 1,290 people who reside in that electorate and who Senator Hall said were born in the United Kingdom and Ireland, will not believe that Senator Hall has any interest in their welfare until such time as he comes out in public and denies his support for the statements Mr Sinclair has made everywhere. [More…]
They are Australia, the United States, New Zealand, India, Italy and the United Kingdom. [More…]
That in regard to the existing drug abuse situation in Australia the first consideration should be a humanitarian approach and that any legislative action contemplated should draw on the wide experience of other countries such as the United Kingdom and United States. [More…]
It should perhaps be noted that in this respect the majority of the Committee finds itself in line with the recommendations made by major drug inquiries in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and elsewhere. [More…]
They include the New York Mayor’s Committee report in 1942, the Wootton Report in the United Kingdom, the Le Dain Report in Canada, the Shafer Report in the United States of America and various other studies. [More…]
The latest figures indicate that our record is better now than that of the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy or Canada. [More…]
I refer to the recent visit to Australia by Dr Dickson Mabon, the United Kingdom Labour Minister for Energy. [More…]

Can the Minister say whether the United Kingdom [More…]
Labour Minister’s mission to Australia to purchase uranium oxide had the endorsement of the United Kingdom trade unions? [More…]
For some reason he has incurred the wrath of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Mr Uren, in the other place who expected a very distinguished member of the United Kingdom Labour Government to look after his political fortunes rather than the interests of the United Kingdom. [More…]
As I understand it, the United Kingdom Minister said that he was satisfied with the precautions which have been taken in the United Kingdom. [More…]
Not only has Dr Mabon enunciated the views of Mr Callaghan ‘s United Kingdom Labour Government; it would also be the policy of the British Trade Union Congress. [More…]
The honourable senator would know that some weeks ago I read into Hansard a resolution of the United Kingdom Trade Union Congress on 8 September this year. [More…]
Obviously, the United Kingdom Trade Union Congress is devoting its time and attention to the benefits its members will receive from such a program and not indulging in politics. [More…]
It certainly is not uncommon in the United Kingdom, with its first past the post system, for a party to get 60 per cent of the seats with 30 per cent or 40 per cent of the votes. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that six of the seven major Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, namely, the United Kingdom, West Germany, France, Japan, Italy and Canada, are currently experiencing major structural unemployment problems? [More…]
1 was also very interested last week to have discussions with Dr Mabon, the British Minister of State for Energy, in the Labour Government of the United Kingdom, who came to Australia for the prime purpose of having discussions and endeavouring to get a guarantee that England will have available continuing supplies of uranium. [More…]
This is backed by the United Kingdom union congress itself, the members of which I understand are 10 to one in favour of importing uranium and recently urged their Government to expand its nuclear program in order to avoid an energy crisis. [More…]
One can see the great need in the United Kingdom for uranium when one realises that the Labour Party Government in office in that country has sent its senior Minister in the energy field to us to plead not only for a sufficient supply, but also for the support of its counterpart, the Australian Labor [More…]
It has turned from the view which is held by the trade union movement in the United Kingdom, the view which is held by the United Kingdom Government, the view which is held by this Government and the view which it held two years ago. [More…]
It is pathetic that the Labor Party should take the view that it can be the judge of what is good for Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom and Sweden. [More…]
In this context an agency to agency agreement on coal research cooperation was recently signed by the Department of National Resources and the National Coal Board of the United Kingdom. [More…]

Support will be limited to sales ‘at risk’ to Europe, including the United Kingdom. [More…]
It has not been mentioned in the debate but I think it could be mentioned usefully as the second reading speech states that the Australian Government is consulting with the States on an assistance program for 1978 which could involve an additional $lm to assist apple exports to Europe including the United Kingdom. [More…]
Is the Prime Minister aware that live days earlier the Clerk of the Privy Council informed the Solicitors-General of Queensland and Tasmania by cable that he was instructed to advise that Her Majesty had accepted the advice of her Ministers in the United Kingdom that the petition relating to offshore mining rights should not be referred to the Judicial Committee.

Between 1908 and 1946 six countries- Australia, Argentina, Chile, France, New Zealand and the United Kingdom- made formal territorial claims. [More…]
The claims of the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand cover two-thirds of the Antarcticcontinent. [More…]

It is very difficult in Australia, more difficult than it is in the United States and the United Kingdom where studies have been done, to find out why people vote in a particular way. [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…]
The Royal National Institute for the Blind is also doing it in the United Kingdom. [More…]
There was the sale of offices, the corruption which ran riot in the United Kingdom until the exposure and reform by Jeremy Bentham and others. [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 Councillors 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 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…]
The great thing to remember is that Churchill said that democratic institutions in the United Kingdom maintained their integrity by insisting that members elected to a representative chamber were the spokesmen not of governments but of the people. [More…]
We have the closest of ties with Europe and in particular with the United Kingdom, but because of the completely inward-looking policies of the European Economic Community at the moment our relations with that group of countries are becoming less and less important to us. [More…]
Whilst our structural problems may vary, they still have their counterparts in countries such as Japan, West Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Community countries. [More…]
Already in the United Kingdom, although the coastal surveillance is operated by the Navy it is operated on a user-pay basis. [More…]
We seek some of the clarity in Australia which enlightened the mind of Lord Denning and we should look, as we often do in matters of ritual, tradition and parliamentary procedure, to the tradition of civil liberties in the United Kingdom and to the words of that great judge for the sort of criteria which we should have in this country. [More…]
I think it should be clear to honourable senators that these United Kingdom cases demonstrate the total inadequacy of the existing rape law in Australia, because in all States rape law is based on English common law. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Acting Minister for Trade and Resources aware of the decision by the Labour Government of the United Kingdom to proceed with a nuclear waste treatment plant to produce plutonium for future power generation? [More…]
The Federal Government, through its coal research agreement with the United Kingdom and others under negotiation with the United States of America, will be able to assist Australian research workers to be fully informed of the latest overseas developments in coal conversion and so ensure that Australia will be able to take full advantage of the developments in technology in this very important area. [More…]
1 ) Under a Memorandum of Arrangements between the National Coal Board (United Kingdom) and the Department of National Resources (now National Development), the parties indicated their intention to institute exchanges of technical information and to pursue the possibility of cooperative work on selected topics in the field of coal research including coal mining and coal utilisation. [More…]
When the EEC was expanded from the original six to its present nine by the addition of the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland, all Australians expected trade in our agricultural products to suffer. [More…]

[More…]
It refers to changes which have been made in the manner of payment of British pensions to United Kingdom pensioners now living in Australia. [More…]
By way of background I indicate that British pensioners who reside in Australia are believed to be suffering difficulties, as the honourable senator mentioned, because of the direct payment of the United Kingdom pensions from the United Kingdom Department of Health and Social Security in sterling orders. [More…]
Those changed arrangements were the result of initiatives taken by the United Kingdom authorities and were not sought by my Department. [More…]
I understand that about 77 per cent of United Kingdom pensioners residing in Australia also receive an Australian pension. [More…]
The British Department of Health and Social Security will advise the Australian Department of Social Security of all new grants of United Kingdom pensions to persons living in Australia. [More…]
My Department has no plans to try to overcome the cost which is involved in the direct payment from the United Kingdom. [More…]
The second matter I wish to raise is that the number of people receiving portable invalid pensions in Greece seems, on the face of it and if one compares the figures, to be disproportionate to the numbers in other large migrant groups such as Italians, Yugoslavians, or people from the United Kingdom. [More…]
Australia is at an advanced stage of negotiations of bilateral safeguards agreements with three countriesthe United Kingdom, Finland and the Philippines. [More…]

The Interim Council has brought a lecturer from Southhampton in the United Kingdom to conduct those courses and for the sake of convenience they are being conducted in Melbourne and in Sydney. [More…]
Some reference was made by Senator Wriedt to the fact that this will be a relatively small College, but in comparison with the Leith College in the United Kingdom it will have more students than that College, which is one of the better colleges in the United Kingdom and one which has been moving towards this total training concept. [More…]
There have been developments in a number of the other colleges in the United Kingdom to move, as I indicated earlier, further towards that total training concept. [More…]
One of the points in my reading in relation to training maritime industry personnel that I found quite interesting was that apparently in the United Kingdom one of the first female graduates is acting as a third officer on a ship carrying ore.

Bearing in mind the practice in the United Kingdom and the provisions of our own Public Accounts Committee Act, I think a procedure along these lines might well prove to be a useful beginning: [More…]
For example, it may be that an Australian citizen who migrated here from the United Kingdom would feel happy to retain dual nationality in that revisiting the United Kingdom would be much more simple. [More…]
I am suggesting also that we must get away from our chauvinistic attitude that only medical graduates of Australia, the United Kingdom and some odd universities in the world are considered satisfactory medical practitioners in this country and others are excluded because they come from such undistinguished medical schools as Vienna and other leading medical schools in Italy, the United States and all over the world. [More…]
As a result, Mr Baume and Mr McNamara, United Kingdom, jointly moved an amendment that this meeting of parliamentarians: . [More…]

Anybody who cares to look up The Contingency Plan put out by the Work Circle Environment Centre in the United Kingdom can verify the other statements. [More…]
A study done at Portsmouth in the United Kingdom has shown that cancer deaths are 450 per cent above the expected levels. [More…]
Look at the position of the United Kingdom. [More…]
Between 1968 and 1978 the United Kingdom pound was worth only about 60 per cent of its former value in terms of the United States dollar. [More…]
I ask: When this gentleman skipped from Australia in possession of a forged passport, with massive debts behind him, and ultimately surfaced in the United Kingdom, did Australia House provide any special facilities for him prior to his involvement in semi-seditious operations in the United Kingdom? [More…]
I am advised that the passport used by Mr Flynn is at present held by the United Kingdom police as a court exhibit. [More…]
Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to a speech by Mr Paul Rose, M.P., in a debate in the House of Commons on the activities of this socalled church in the United Kingdom? [More…]

I would like to see a system in which the Broadcasting Tribunal adopts one of the ideas which has been adopted in the past by the Independent Broadcasting Authority of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The other factor to consider is that in many countries where Australia did not have consular services we were represented by the Foreign Ministry of the United Kingdom. [More…]

The five were: the use of section 123 of the Constitution, the use of section 128 of the Constitution, the use of section 5 1 (xxxviii) of the Constitution, by inviting the United Kingdom to pass legislation and by using the United Kingdom Act, the Colonial Boundaries Act of 1 895. [More…]
Going cap in hand to the United Kingdom Parliament was thought to be politically undesirable. [More…]

In view of the very liberal intake of United Kingdom visitors who have been given a working visa when in Australia, will a warning be conveyed to Mrs Thatcher that, if she attempts to tamper with the existing facilities given to Australian nationals going to Britain, Australia will be forced to review its ratio of working visas granted to United Kingdom nationals who wish to come here? [More…]
I am aware that in the United Kingdom there is some provision of the sort mentioned by Senator Sibraa. [More…]
I think that parallels between the British broadcasting system and our own are somewhat difficult to draw because of the quite different control which the British Government exercises over broadcasting generally in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am interested in what Senator Rae said, but it seems to me that he has drawn new strength from what has happened in the United Kingdom because in his article in the Australian of 1 8 May he said: [More…]
7th-24th August, 1 976: Iran (negotiation of trade agreement); United Kingdom (discussions on trade and energy); Switzerland (trade discussions); Germany (trade and investment discussions). [More…]
2nd July-9th August, 1978: Switzerland (MTN talks); Finland (nuclear safeguards agreement signing and trade talks); France (trade and energy discussions); United Kingdom (trade and energy discussions); Philippines (signing of nuclear safeguards agreement and trade discussions). [More…]

If my memory serves me correctly, a CSIRO officer has been to the United States, the United Kingdom or to South Africa for the purpose of studying the particular projects being undertaken. [More…]
I inform the Senate that the Minister for Transport (Mr Nixon) left Australia on Sunday for a visit to Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States, on a range of transport matters. [More…]

[More…]
No doubt the program was shown in the United Kingdom and in other places. [More…]

[More…]
Nationals of certain foreign countries must have a United Kingdom visa on every occasion on which they enter the United Kingdom. [More…]

In the case of Miss Helia Allebi, the letter of 7 March from the Home Office makes it abundantly clear that she now enjoys the rights of permanent residence in the United Kingdom. [More…]
In these circumstances her eligibility for immigration to Australia is the same as for any other permanent resident of the United Kingdom. [More…]
On the page where it says this, and that there is a risk but that the risk will diminish, there is no mention of the fact that the plutonium has been sent back to the United Kingdom. [More…]
I am more concerned that in this report there is no evidence and no comment on what took place about matters relating to plutonium, and the discussions which took place between scientists from the United Kingdom and Australia and government representatives. [More…]
The exercises involve personnel ofthe defence forces of the United Kingdom. [More…]
1 percent in the United States, 10.7 percent in the United Kingdom, 10.5 per cent in Canada, 15.4 per cent in Italy, 10. [More…]
The use of this type of aircraft made it possible for Qantas to pioneer low fares on the Australia-Europe routes in 1972 and for the introduction of the new low fares to the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Europe which the Minister for Transport (Mr Nixon) has recently announced. [More…]
Aircraft 19 is to be in the normal passenger configuration and is required to cope with the anticipated peak summer traffic to the United Kingdom-Europe and the United States of America expected to occur in 1980-81. [More…]
What is happening now is that we are getting the same sort of money but it has been laundered through the United States of America or the United Kingdom. [More…]
It is not surprising that representatives of the United Kingdom Government, having faced exactly the same economic disasters under the British Labour Party as Australia did under the Australian Labor Party, should be coming to Australia to see what our track record is, because it is one of high success. [More…]
Regulatory and safeguards measures should be undertaken by and be the responsibility of an absolutely independent authority, as is the case in the United States, the United Kingdom and in any nation to which Australia would look for models of the best organisational structure for this peculiarly hazardous industry. [More…]
In the United Kingdom not a solitary nuclear plant has been ordered since 1 973 despite plans to install an additional 35,000 MW capacity by 1 980. [More…]
Furthermore, the Commission has developed a very big export market in this field to Japan, Thailand, New Guinea, India and the United Kingdom. [More…]
An article in the Australian Financial Review of 72 May confirms the general criticism that the Opposition is making in relation to Qantas considering operating a Lakertype charter flight next year to cope with the overwhelming demand for low air fare seats to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Such clauses have been referred to in this way in the United Kingdom because of the absolutist tendencies of that monarch. [More…]
My question, which is directed to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, deals with the summit meeting in Tokyo of the industrialised nations- the United States, Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy- which is to take place at the end of this month. [More…]
Australia’s reaction contrasts with that of other parties in the cartel, including Canada and the United Kingdom, which have each permitted their own courts to pass on Westinghouse ‘s search for evidence. [More…]
Despite the fact that a woman who recently went back to the United Kingdom with her five children because she said she could not stand Australia has been backwards and forwards two or three times, it is interesting to note that authorities in Britain said that Australia House was very helpful in arranging for her and her family to be repatriated back to Australia when they had gone home to England before and then had wanted to return to Australia. [More…]
In the annual report of the Australian Wine Board for 1977-78 we see, on page 10, that exports to the United Kingdom in 1976-77 were as low as 528,000 odd litres. [More…]
In 1977-78 only 485,000 litres were exported to the United Kingdom. [More…]
Overseas, particularly in the United Kingdom, if one looks at the wine list in restaurants one sees wines from practically all countries, European Economic Community members and others, except Australia. [More…]

This Convention came into force internationally in 1 968, but the relevant law in Australia still consists of the Merchant Shipping Acts of 1894 and 1900 of the United Kingdom. [More…]
The new section 338, which absolves shipowners from liability in respect of certain property claims, does not introduce any new benefit for shipowners but is a re-enactment of an existing provision in Part VIII of the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Act, which is being repealed to make way for the new limitation provisions. [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…]
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…]
I went to Holland and the United Kingdom specially to study this problem. [More…]
This was experimented with in the United Kingdom and in Holland with varying degrees of success. [More…]
The methods used in the United Kingdom and in other places may be methods which we can introduce. [More…]
In the United States of America, the inflation rate was 14 per cent, for France it was 1 1.3 per cent, for the United Kingdom it was 15.7 per cent, for Canada it was 10.5 per cent, for Italy it was 1 5.8 per cent, for New Zealand it was 14.3 per cent and for Australia it was 9 per cent. [More…]

One important condition is that Mr Grubic is the skipper during workout trials and the forward passage to the United Kingdom as well as during the race. [More…]
I refer firstly to the Windscale inquiry in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I know very well that the United Kingdom, for example, is accepting nuclear waste from countries such as Japan well knowing that in the future it will have a resource of energy which will be quite valuable. [More…]
Freedom of information, which by and large has been resisted in most Westminster parliaments- certainly, by and large, it has been resisted in this Parliament and it has been resisted, in particular, in the United Kingdom Parliament- nevertheless came forward in the British Parliament as the subject of a private member’s Bill which engendered a great deal of debate. [More…]
Her maiden speech was made introducing a private member’s Bill, one very much along the lines of a freedom of information Bill because it was a Bill which sought to provide that meetings of local government councils throughout the United Kingdom could be held only in public and that the Press and members of the public should have access at all times to all aspects of local government meetings in the United Kingdom. [More…]
For some 25 years or so it has been part of the statute law of the United Kingdom. [More…]
What progress has been made towards the establishment of a trade office in Taiwan on a similar basis to that used by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and many other major trading nations? [More…]
I am not able to advise Senator Baume of the current arrangement for registration in the United Kingdom of doctors from other EEC countries. [More…]
However, as far as Australia is concerned, registration in the United Kingdom is of little consequence as the medical registration boards of the States and Territories are concerned only with the countries in which the basic medical qualifications of applicants for registration were obtained. [More…]
I am informed that all State and Territory medical registration boards have agreed that in Australia the only overseas medical qualifications which will attract automatic registration are those obtained in the United Kingdom, in Ireland and in New Zealand. [More…]
Some years ago the Australian Deafness Council raised this matter with the Australian Broadcasting Commission and with commercial television stations and suggested that captions be used during the broadcast of television news, as is the case in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. [More…]
In times of delicate negotiations concerning the United Kingdom, Australia and representatives of Mozambique, what instructions, if any, have been issued indicating that the Australian Government dissociates itself from Australians who choose to accept mercenary assignments? [More…]
According to Senator Baume, New South Wales had a tonsillectomy rate nine times that of Sweden or the United Kingdom. [More…]
On the latest figures, inflation in the United Kingdom is around 22 per cent. [More…]
Moreover, there are answers which have been accepted in other countries within our own legal tradition, most notably the United Kingdom where there are ample precedents, including very recent precedents, for this kind of legislation. [More…]
The essential injustice of allowing these schemes to stay on foot even for a limited time has been squarely acknowledged in the United Kingdom. [More…]
That legislation was the subject of some small controversy in the United Kingdom but has been passed. [More…]
In the United States of America, the inflation rate was 14 per cent, for France it was 1 1.3 per cent, for the United Kingdom it was 1S.7 per cent, for Canada it was I0.S per cent, for Italy it was 1 5.8 per cent, for New Zealand it was 1 4.3 per cent and for Australia it was 9 per cent. [More…]
Internationally, at the end of July interest rates in various countries were as follows: The United States 10 per cent, Japan S.2S per cent, Germany 5 per cent, the United Kingdom 14 percent, Canada 1 1.75 percent and Australia 9 per cent. [More…]
For example, in Australian cents per litre, the price in Japan is 48.9, in the United Kingdom it is 46.9, in West Germany it is 41.7, in France it is 49.8 and in Italy it is 5 1 .6. [More…]
There is certainly not an incentive of the kind which exists in, for example, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. [More…]
I repeat: Australia, which some 5 years ago was costed out of world markets by the previous Labor Government and was put into the bracket of the top inflation nations of the Western world, is now costed back into world markets and is now in a very good competitive position compared with other countries, notably our main competitors, such as the United Kingdom and the United States of America. [More…]
ESA is a consortium of eleven states of Europe: Italy, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Sweden, Belgium and Ireland. [More…]
in the United Kingdom the number of workers directly employed in the tobacco industry is about 36,000; every year the number of deaths due specifically to smoking.related diseases is at least 50,000. [More…]

Such knowledge is of direct relevance and benefit to the latest Jindivik development (the Mark IV, which we are jointly progressing with the United Kingdom), and to the recently announced trainer aircraft study. [More…]
If we look at other countries and at what they sought to do in this regard we note the very active policy that was carried out by the Labour Government of the post-war years in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The Government of the United Kingdom was able to slow up the population growth of its major cities by about 1.25 million. [More…]
In addition, information on pesticides is exchanged with the relevant authorities in other countries such as New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. [More…]
Has the Minister seen the reported comments of Mr John Nott, Secretary of State for Trade for the United Kingdom, that ‘Australian trade barriers could inhibit plans for Perth to become a service centre of the oil and gas exploration industry in South East Asia’? [More…]
I am not familiar with the detailed statements made by Mr Nott, who is Secretary of State for Trade in the United Kingdom Government, but I am sure that the Government would be most interested in his comments. [More…]
The ranking is: The United States, West Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Norway and then Australia. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Treasurer aware of the introduction by the Thatcher Government in the United Kingdom of a new statistical index- a tax and prices index- which measures the combined effects of changes in direct taxes and prices on people’s purchasing power? [More…]
The aim is to bring research spending by France’s public and private sectors up to the levels of the United States, the German Federal Republic, the United Kingdom and Japan. [More…]
The Government is not unaware of the effectiveness of the United Kingdom National Research and Development Corporation because only this month it received a report from a most outstanding Australian academic, Professor Ron Johnston, of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Wollongong, making absolutely clear to the Government the extent to which co-operation between the Government and the private sector can be a major factor in reversing this lamentable trend. [More…]
As I have already mentioned, the fact that this is growing in the United Kingdom and that there are consequent failures on the part of the United Kingdom economy to adapt ought to be salutory lessons. [More…]
Labor preferences for a ‘scientist dominated Council’ reflected a naive ‘leave it to the expert’ syndrome and an ignorance of the tendency for such councils elsewhereparticularly in the United Kingdom and Canada- to undermine the scientific sophistication and awareness of potential users, to concentrate on supply rather than demand problems, and to obfuscate the termination of priorities and value choices that necessarily must be made. [More…]
The outside contacts with industry which ASTEC has emphasised, which CSIRO has emphasised, which the British National Research and Development Corporation has emphasised and which Professor Johnston has emphasised in a paper which he provided to ASTEC entitled ‘Programs to Promote Interaction between Governments, Universities and Industries in the United Kingdom ‘ and which was delivered in September of this year to ASTECwhy do these things not come to the Parliament? [More…]
Without going into the details, considerations have been given to this matter in the United Kingdom where attempts have been made to clarify the position to ensure that defendants do not have placed upon them the burden of proving their innocence beyond reasonable doubt. [More…]
Comparable figures for West Germany, the United Kingdom and France were respectively 36.7 per cent, 36.7 per cent and 39.45 per cent. [More…]

The amendment will enable the Minister to appoint officers of the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Resources and, in some instances, persons employed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom Government, to grant visas and return endorsements to persons wishing to travel to Australia. [More…]
I draw to the attention of the Senate the fact that in certain areas of the United Kingdom that were subject to strict control of the movement of people and stock even the tourist industry was seriously affected. [More…]
The British Channel has not been breached recently, but the disease poses an enormous risk for the United Kingdom. [More…]
If this Government wanted to do something positive it would have kept its word when it was returned to office in 1975 and emulated Western Europe and the United Kingdom by having a set policy whereby the state provides universal health insurance via taxation. [More…]
Let us look at what happened on the last occasion when a government sought to do this in a somewhat similar set of circumstances in the United Kingdom, when the Heath Government sought to intervene and interfere in the due processes of wage fixation. [More…]
Specimens from affected pigs are being sent immediately to the World Reference Laboratory in the United Kingdom for examination. [More…]
I also refer to the previous South Australian Government’s statement claiming that only half a kilogram of plutonium existed to be transferred to the United Kingdom and that this was a mass about the size of a small egg. [More…]
The Minister for National Development issued a Press statement on 22 March in conjunction with the then Premier of South Australia, Mr Corcoran, saying that approximately half a kilogram of plutonium, previously buried at Maralinga, had been repatriated to the United Kingdom. [More…]
After removal from the burial pit, the six containers were grouted with cement and placed inside specially constructed transport drums supplied by the United Kingdom authorities. [More…]
In addition, a box of miscellaneous equipment supplied by the United Kingdom for use in the packaging operation was also returned to the British authorities. [More…]
I know of such a case involving a United Kingdom librarian. [More…]
This seemed to be all right because he was a United Kingdom national. [More…]
For many years now our policy has involved a particular and principal relationship with the European countries and, I suppose, with the United Kingdom in particular. [More…]
Canada and a number of European nations spend a similar proportion to Australia and I am informed that the New Zealand and the United Kingdom figures are lower- 6.7 per cent and 5.7 per cent respectively. [More…]

Does he understand the relationship between investment in research and development and general economic growth indicated by the relative performances of West Germany and Japan, on the one hand, and of the United States and the United Kingdom, on the other hand? [More…]
The other parts of his question were a little complicated in that they asked whether I was aware of certain percentages of expenditure by certain countries and, in particular, whether I was aware that research expenditure is declining in the United States and the United Kingdom, compared with that of some other countries. [More…]
Another part of the honourable senator’s question- I think I understood it correctlyasked whether I understood the factors relating to the decline in research expenditure in the United States and in the United Kingdom compared with the expenditure of some other countries which appear to have quite large budgets. [More…]

The United Kingdom and the Eastern bloc countries have similarly accumulated vast quantities of potentially weapon-grade material. [More…]
There is little point in pointing to the United Kingdom and the United States, as some Government speakers did, and saying that they impose such charges. [More…]

It confirmed another report which was made in the United Kingdom on monopolies which found that the Unilever Company and the Proctor and Gamble Organisation, the two major soap and detergent manufacturers in that country, spent almost 20 per cent of their total turnover on advertising because they were involved in the same process of product differentiation and of competition between their own brands. [More…]
I refer to the announcement that the United Kingdom will retract from its arrangements with Australia in respect of testing at the Woomera range. [More…]

In the publication prepared for the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom by Peter Wallington and Jeremy McBride entitled ‘Civil Liberties and a Bill of Rights’, this was clearly spelled out. [More…]
It is interesting to reflect that for those who believe that the common law is all that one needs, one would have expected to find that this proposition was most vehemently defended in the United Kingdom, and in the United Kingdom most vehemently defended by members of the Conservative Party. [More…]
What progress has been made towards the establishment of a trade office in Taiwan on a similar basis to that used by the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and many other major trading nations. [More…]

In view of spiralling interest rates overseas, can the Minister advise the Senate of the current situation in Australia in relation to interest rates in comparison with the United States and the United Kingdom? [More…]
It is about time that we as a parliament had a very close look at the procedure that exists in the United Kingdom because if we allow the present situation to continue, with the Executive’s having complete power and control over the legislature and over the legislative process, this Parliament will come to be regarded by all and sundry, particularly by the younger generation in the community, as merely in the nature of a rubber stamp. [More…]
That is another system which exists in the House of Commons under the Administration Act 1978 in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The exercises involve personnel of the defence forces of the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States. [More…]
My question is: If the previous GovernorGeneral, who now resides in the United Kingdom, is provided with a free telephone service, what has been the cost of that service to the Australian taxpayer since he took up residence in England? [More…]
I think anyone who has one, after what happened in the United Kingdom in the last few days, ought to hand it back. [More…]

Did Australia pass this information to the United Kingdom authorities? [More…]
United Kingdom and returned have free telephones. [More…]
