Perhaps the woman had never needed to be involved in the family affairs. [More…]

However, in my mail on Monday I received a copy of a letter signed by Mr T. J. Kearney, Under Secretary of the Department of Labour and Industry in New South Wales, dated - mark you - 3rd January 1970, addressed to the husband of a woman concerned in this case. [More…]
It is to the credit of the State Department of Labour and Industry that at least one woman obtained economic justice. [More…]

1 demonstrate whatI mean by saying that if a man or a woman is qualified for admission and wishes to practice as a solicitor only, with no intention of ever appearing in court - many people who graduate have that intention and never depart from it - we have a situation in which there is a Law Society whose function it is to represent the whole of the profession within the Australian Capital Territory, and a Bar Association which is representative of only a sectional interest - a small group. [More…]

of this year, for writing a news story about discrimination against an Aboriginal woman by the Australian Mutual Provident Society in relation to insurance premiums, and whether it is true that neither the AMP Society nor the woman concerned have denied the story despite the fact that the controller of news, Mr Fraser, specially sent out another reporter in an attempt to get her to refute the story. [More…]
At that age a woman is not able to obtain employment. [More…]
As my colleague has said, it is not desirable that a woman of that age seek employment. [More…]

She is entitled to protection first as a woman in the community and second as a worker doing her job, irrespective of whether she was working for Senator O’Byrne, for me or for Senator McManus. [More…]
The other ground, it seems to me, is that a man or a woman may prefer death to life imprisonment, which some people regard as being more cruel than execution. [More…]
It would convey to one that the woman had a great knowledge of the operations of foreign agents - in various countries and had had quite some association with them because of the names that she knew. [More…]

I believe that no parliamentarian is able to do his or her work properly without the support of either a good woman or a good man and I have been extremely fortunate in that I, like Senator Kennelly, have had the devoted support of my spouse during my years in the Parliament. [More…]
She suggested that it should be referred to a woman. [More…]
I remember agreeing with her at the time and saying that even a woman could do better than those who produce the present telephone directory. [More…]
Honourable senators will notice that I looked around before saying that to see that there was no woman present in the Senate. [More…]
I am not decrying any married woman who wants to go to work. [More…]
But in the vast majority of cases the young married woman must go to work to try to meet financial commitments. [More…]
If there is to be an alleviation we on this side would insist that it be given to those people who are suffering, such as the widows to whom Senator Dame Ivy Wedgwood referred, the person with a large family, the woman who is widowed by the untimely death of a young man who has not paid off his house and that type of person. [More…]

The defintion also includes a ‘woman who, throughout the period of 3 years immediately before the date of the death of the employee, although not legally married to him, lived with him as ^ his wife on a permanent and bona fide domestic basis. [More…]
If a de facto relationship is set up between a man and a woman and if the breadwinner of the relationship is injured before a period of 3 years after the establishment of that relationship there is no provision made for the de facto wife although it is possible that for 2i years or 2 years and 11 months before the accident her support came from the deceased. [More…]
I think perhaps there should be some onus on the de facto wife to prove that there was a bona fide domestic relationship but I think that is sufficiently established if the woman was pregnant to the man and they were living together. [More…]
I would say that the proof of the relationship should be mainly the responsibility of the woman but I think it is the question of support that should be established and not the question of time. [More…]
What will be the position of a woman whose husband dies, her husband having contributed to her keep although she had an income of her own and his contribution was unnecessary? [More…]
If a woman has private means but had been receiving economic support from her husband will she now not be entitled to the benefits of this legislation? [More…]
The definition of ‘dependant’ as a woman who throughout the period of 3 years immediately before the date of death of the employee, though not legally married to him, lived with him as his wife on a permanent and bona fide basis is a definition which is not unique to this Act. [More…]
He was at a disadvantage compared with his fellow worker who had a small family or none at all, with the single man and even the spinster woman who was doing the same work as himself and receiving the same pay. [More…]
He might be married to a woman 7 or 8 years his junior, and she cannot receive a pension until she has reached the age of 60 years. [More…]
No man has the right to take from any person his true inheritance, especially if that person is a woman. [More…]
Statistics prove that the average woman lives 4 years or more longer than the average man. [More…]
I ask them to remember that none of them would be here but for a good woman, and that most of them will leave a widow who will have to pay death taxes. [More…]
I can give this woman’s name. [More…]
I have helped that woman. [More…]
Another woman in New South Wales wrote and asked me whether I would help her. [More…]
In another case a Western Australian woman of 88 asked me to go to New South Wales to see whether I could hurry up the finalisation of her husband’s estate because she was frightened of dying before it was completed. [More…]

She is the woman who was involved in the incident in the other chamber the ‘ other night. [More…]
She is an intelligent woman. [More…]
There is a conflict in relation to foetal life because there is conflict on occasion, first of all between the risk to the life of the pregnant woman and the damage to the life of the foetus. [More…]
I believe that if there is a risk to the life of the woman or the serious health of the woman or to the foetal life then, of course, some termination is justifiable. [More…]
It does not state a number but it does state that one is a woman who was in our Parliament at this time last year. [More…]
Police officers have to be involved in some of the most heart rending jobs in the community, such as informing a woman that her husband has been killed in a motor vehicle accident. [More…]
We are trying to cushion the blow against the industry which, without a doubt, has contributed enormously to the well being of every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
Victoria has given continuous representation in this place to a woman senator since 1949 and I do not hold lightly the privilege which has been given to me. [More…]
One is prompted to refer to the letters that one receives, either from a widow who is attempting to bring up her children as her more fortunate neighbours are bringing up their children, from a woman who has been deserted by her husband or from a woman who has lost her husband, each complaining that she is unable to earn more than $10 a week before the Commonwealth benefit begins to erode. [More…]
I am sure we all would wish the scheme to be widened so that a woman in those circumstances is able to earn more by her own efforts without losing the benefit of the pension. [More…]
Anyone with common sense would know that a woman of 46 is outside the requirements of the work force. [More…]
What person would want to employ as a shop assistant a woman of 46 years of age, who had probably been a housewife for 25 of those 46 years, instead of a girl of 21 years of age? [More…]
As I said, if a woman of 46 has been a housewife for 25 years how will she find employment? [More…]
I was endeavouring to cite the case of a young woman who is facing serious financial difficulties. [More…]
I suppose it would be wrong to suggest that at that stage of life a man and woman in a state of de facto relationship could get more than 2 people who are legitimately and properly married, but that is the position. [More…]
Is it fair to ask a woman of 57 or 58 to go out and work? [More…]
I remember saying to a woman in those circumstances - she was a big, strong, buxom type of woman: ‘What is your state of health?’ [More…]
The chances are that the woman might be asked to take a job. [More…]
A married man with a wife and children to maintain receives the same income as a single man or a spinster woman who have neither chick nor child to keep and who have obligations to nobody. [More…]
He is expected, unless he receives a generous child endowment, to maintain those children and maintain his home on the same wage as a single man or a spinster woman who have neither chick nor child to keep. [More…]
But suppose the woman was between 50 and 60 years of age. [More…]
Surely no-one would expect a woman, after having reached 50 years of age, to have to go to work to maintain a decent standard of living because her husband is receiving a pension. [More…]
Surely a woman who lived with a man from the day he came from war and who saw him deteriorate day by day, week by week and year by year until finally he died is entitled to more consideration from a Commission which is bound by an Act to interpret the onus of proof provision in favour of an applicant for a pension. [More…]
It might be recalled that in 1946, following the establishment of an all-party committee by the Chifley Government, the Government agreed to amend the Repatriation Act to provide that the onus of proof shall rest with the Commission and not with the ex-serviceman or woman. [More…]
With equal pay for the sexes - I am not growling about that at all - an unmarried woman without chick or child to maintain will receive the same income as a male, if she is doing the same work as that male; yet that male may be married and have a family to support. [More…]
But passing those things by, one has only to reflect upon the view that it would revolt the just mind to refrain from appropriate punishment by death of the criminal who has killed in cold blood a pregnant woman; who has murdered little children for sensuous rape- [More…]
Honourable senators have read of cases in which an elderly woman in her 80s has been attacked by an individual who has walked into her home, bashed her, probably raped the poor old soul and killed her. [More…]

I put it to the Minister that, if a woman was referred at one stage to a Macquarie Street specialist in that field and had an extremely difficult birth, if she is pregnant again 3 years later and if she has some trepidation because she is in another suburb, she should not again have to go through the rigmarole wilh another general practitioner. [More…]
As a matter of fact, the woman who approached me at a Saturday night barbecue about her problem - I know it takes an effort for a woman to unburden herself in such a situation - is another month closer to going into the maternity hospital, but she still does not know what her position is in relation to medical benefits. [More…]
The Minister could say: ‘Look, if a woman had one difficult pregnancy, there will be a case history’. [More…]
An aged person - that is, a resident of Australia aged 65 or more, if a man, and 60 or more, if a woman - will pay no tax for the current year if his or her own taxable income does not exceed $1,326. [More…]
It is asked in response to a request from a woman in Western Australia who says she is desperately in need of help. [More…]
I have been referring to the remarks of a woman who, at her first appearance before the United Nations, made an appeal for peace. [More…]
Does the proposed amendment imply that because a woman is a deserted wife, even though she is reasonably well off, she is to be placed within special categories and not dealt with on the same basis as other people with family responsibilities who happen to be low income earners? [More…]
I received a telephone call from a woman shopkeeperwho said thatshe had just spoken with a customer who was connected with Golden Products. [More…]

This woman got married in India when she was much younger. [More…]

The lass I have been referring to is an Indian woman of Asian extraction although not of Asian birth. [More…]
Why this is a reason for nothing being done about, the imprisonment, solitary confinement and forced feeding of a young woman who for quite a long time was resident in this country, I am completely unable to understand. [More…]
This woman was subjected to a raid by, she says, about 8 officers of the Commonwealth Police in the full gaze of everyone who lives in her .street. [More…]
Here was this woman, who incidentally is a widow, concerned about her son, especially on Christmas Day, trying as best she could with her 3 daughters to appreciate the joys and spirit of Christmas, when her privacy was invaded and her dignity offended. [More…]
I interpolate here to indicate that this woman was an Australian citizen who had married an American serviceman, as I understand it. [More…]
To me it smacks of terrorism of the first order, ft is an invasion of privacy of an Australian woman’s home, lt frightens me to think that this sort of thing can go on in this fair land. [More…]
Here we have a situation where the woman concerned went to her member of Parliament for the purpose of seeking some redress for what she claims was an invasion of her privacy on a most sacred day in the year. [More…]
There would be no justification for a woman making one statement to her member of Parliament- [More…]
Is there any reason to doubt the honesty of the woman? [More…]
Nelson turned a blind eye to orders on one occasion, so how does the Attorney-General justify the entry of a woman’s home - an entry which has been termed an invasion - on Christmas Day? [More…]
The woman said that it was an invasion and that there was a search. [More…]
As Senator Rae has said, I do need help at this hour of the night because no-one who considered the accumulation of evidence of incidents relating to this action believed that the woman was lying. [More…]
Was the woman’s action in ringing the police and subsequently going to the police the action of a person who was making a false declaration to a police constable about something that did not happen? [More…]
The Attorney-General has not replied to the suggestion that the police asked questions about the hour and day of arrival of this woman in Australia. [More…]
These statements by the woman cannot be denied because all this happened in the presence of a witness who was taping the conversation. [More…]
If the Attorney-General does not elect to do so it will be obvious that he is trying to protect the Commonwealth Police against charges that on Christmas Day they invaded the privacy of a woman on the information of an anonymous phone call. [More…]
If this woman was asked: When did you arrive in this country?’ [More…]
Yet, when a raid, an investigation or a visitation - whichever word the Attorney-General cares to use to describe it - was carried out on this woman’s home on Christmas Day, the Commonwealth Police did not report the fact to the Attorney-General. [More…]
No-one with any sympathy in his makeup could be but disturbed and concerned for the man or woman who is unemployed through no fault of his or her own. [More…]

[More…]

Was an English woman quarantined for 14 days in Melbourne recently because she had not been inoculated against smallpox before leaving England to visit a sick relative in Australia? [More…]
What were the circumstances in which this woman was permitted to travel from England to Australia without the required inoculation and without correct advice as to her eligibility to enter Australia? [More…]
I ask you, Mr Acting Deputy President, and honourable senators, whether a female of the age of 29 years could be regarded as a girl or as a woman. [More…]
This woman admits that she was not gaoled but was cautioned by the councillors of the community that to wear a skirt of that length was regarded by the Aboriginal people as being immoral. [More…]
This woman did not agree with the councillors; so she left the mission station and went to live in Mt Isa. [More…]
As a matter of fact, the person that was claimed by Senator Keeffe to be the one involved was not the woman responsible for this act. [More…]
The person who was referred to by Senator Keeffe was not the woman who was actually told that she should not wear a mini skirt at Doomadgee mission station. [More…]
He took under his control and into his very very capable guiding hands a young Aboriginal woman who was creating quite a deal of trouble on Palm Island because of her misbehaviour. [More…]
Senator Keeffe, who may not have known of the denial, stated that the miniskirted woman was sent from the mission station, I think by the inspector, because of her short skirt. [More…]
The person reciting the incident could well depend upon the appearance of the female in stating whether she was a girl or a woman. [More…]
We admit that if there is a difference between a girl and a woman of 29 there is a possible discrepancy in Senator Keeffe’s argument, and that is one score for Senator Bonner. [More…]
Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart, Tis woman’s whole existence. [More…]
Where cash benefits provided under a compulsory system of social insurance, are based on previous earnings, they are to be at a rate of not less than two-thirds of the woman’s previous earnings taken into account for the purpose of computing benefits. [More…]
Can the Minister justify the right of his Department to withhold such knowledge from a woman who may have used the drug? [More…]
Is it not the right of such a woman to have this information so that she may take what action she thinks fit? [More…]
Is there not a danger that such a woman may continue to take the drug and risk the consequences? [More…]
Will he say whether a woman who is required to look after and support one or more children may deduct from her taxable income any costs incurred in having the children looked after during her working hours? [More…]
The consideration that should be given ought to be a type of consideration which can be demonstrated to every man, woman and child in the community in order to show that the particular situation is accepted in the total Commonwealth context, and some adjustment should be made to off-set that disability. [More…]
I know of a woman in Western Australia whose husband died and left her an estate which on paper has been submitted at $2. [More…]
Others discontinued drug taking for the love of a woman, a partner in life or for some other similar reason. [More…]
The fact is that more of them attribute their abstention to Alcoholics Anonymous rather than to such things as religion and love of a woman. [More…]
Firstly, the state of the Eyre Highway must be belter than people have been saying: secondly, the driver’s pregnant wife must be a truly remarkable woman; and thirdly, what the honourable senator said about the driver’s average speed does indicate that there must have been periods of greatly excessive speed. [More…]
On the other hand, the other consideration which has to be taken into account - this is part of the same problem - is at what stage, society is entitled to say that as the drug is harmful it is entitled to take away this man’s or that woman’s freedom to indulge in it. [More…]
A deduction is not available under the housekeeper provision where a person not wholly engaged as a housekeeper is employed merely to mind a child for part of the day or where the taxpayer is a married woman living with her husband. [More…]
We think of another age group and realise that drug dependency is a consolation to that species of man called woman, some of whom find intolerable burdens and pressures in social isolation and some of whom do not find personal fulfilment in their present role in our society. [More…]
It is a document that can help anybody who is man enough or woman enough to wake up to the fact that he or she has a problem. [More…]

If you are black and a woman and in your early teens you have probably been raped at least once. [More…]

Arrested on this charge, Marlene was transferred to the watchhouse where she was stripped and searched by a police-woman. [More…]
Still endeavouring to tell what had happened to her that night, the police-woman’s only comment was, ‘Bully for you’. [More…]
It shows that the taxpayers, every man jack of them - every man, woman and child in this country - will pay to the Commonwealth this financial year, the .me starting as from 1st July 1972, and the one we are discussing with respect to the current Budget, an additional $38 per head in tax to the Commonwealth. [More…]
This shows that the States’ loan repayments total $546,163,000 representing $42 per head for every man woman and child in Australia. [More…]
If ever there was an old woman in this chamber it is the honourable senator. [More…]
We now can include in this, since we have equal pay for the sexes, the unmarried woman who has neither chick nor child to keep but who receives the same wage. [More…]
Is the married man who has a wife and 4 or 5 children to keep not entitled to something more than the single man or the single woman who have no obligations? [More…]
1 ask: Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to the fact that a motor vehicle apparently owned by a union in Victoria was involved in an accident which resulted in the death of a 79-year-old woman? [More…]
The verdict was that the death of the woman was due to something analagous to culpable negligence or manslaughter but no verdict implicating the union or any unionist was involved. [More…]
That is, the young man or young woman who is attending a university because he or she wants to gain, say, a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree - who wants to acquire a qualification which will lift him or her out of the rut - but who does not really want to be a teacher, yet may develop the idea of becoming a teacher notwithstanding that he or she was not motivated originally by that idea, should not be placed in a slot separate from that of students in all other faculties who have chosen their profession and who may have the benefit of scholarships which will permit them to achieve their goal. [More…]
But why do we carry this precaution to such extreme lengths with respect to children suffering from eczema and pregnant woman, who cannot be vaccinated? [More…]
Only last Saturday an article appeared in the Northern Territory ‘News’ stating that a special magistrate had refused to commit a young woman to the gaol because of conditions there. [More…]
No doubt she is not complaining, but she has committed a crime and I believe that all decent thinking people would agree that when a person commits a crime against society such as this woman did she should serve the sentence which is imposed. [More…]
The Governor-General will be kept up until the Bill is taken across to him in a taxi so that the case of the poor woman who is having her writ of habeas corpus heard tomorrow to entitle her to be free will not be successful because the Government is rushing the Bill through. [More…]
This woman is a nurse and is the mother of 6 children. [More…]
There are others who are not emotionally equipped to do the same thing or who may not have had the advantage of the training that this young woman has had to fit her for a wonderfully useful life not only for herself but to her husband and 6 young dependent Australians. [More…]
Why should such a woman be looked upon as a misfit in our community, as she is by many people today? [More…]

No woman is employed in a senior position in the Divisions and Branch of the Department of Customs and Excise listed in part (1) of the question. [More…]
One woman and 123 men are employed at senior levels (above Clerk Class 8) in the areas of the Department of the Interior which now encompass those mentioned. [More…]
Because the value of the estate was such a large amount the woman was not entitled to receive a widow’s pension. [More…]
I am making a very low key appeal to the Attorney-General to show some sympathy to a woman of great principle, a woman who has fought sincerely and honestly against a situation in which, she believes, Australia should never have been placed, a situation in which more than 60 per cent of the people of Australia believe we should never have been placed. [More…]
When you asked earlier whether anyone else wanted to speak about this matter I did not think that the plea justified more honourable senators entering the debate, because it was an honest plea for the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) to give sympathetic consideration to the release of a woman who is now in gaol. [More…]
If the Minister had replied by merely indicating that he was not prepared to give such co” -‘.deration to this woman I think that would have ended the matter. [More…]
However it is forgotten that while this woman was giving out a pamphlet urging defiance of the National Service Act most politicians on this side of the Parliament - both in this chamber and in the other chamber - had their names appended to an advertisement in the ‘Australian’, which was published throughout Australia, asking for the same thing as Mrs Jean McLean was asking for in the pamphlets that she was giving out in Melbourne. [More…]
The Minister sees fitto prosecute a defenceless woman for giving out pamphlets to passers-by but he cannot find sufficient evidence to prosecute persons in the Yugoslav community or members of the Ustashi for placing bombs in front of shops in a main street of a capital city in Australia. [More…]
A plea was made tonight by 2 honourable senators from Victoria who know the particular woman concerned. [More…]
They said that whether or not there was a breach of the law this woman was acting in accordance with her conscience. [More…]
This person is a woman and while a woman has no right to dodge her obligations a different attitude should be taken to gaoling a woman because of something relating to the National Service Act than to gaoling a man. [More…]
A third point to be considered is that this woman is a mother with a family. [More…]
He said that in some way this woman apparently was associated with the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
The Minister linked all these things together, not for the purpose of giving consideration to a plea but in order to condemn the Australian Labor Party and those honourable senators who had the audacity to stand in this place and ask him to consider a plea made on behalf of this woman. [More…]
It is admitted that this woman was in breach of the law. [More…]
But does it not have some effect on the consciences of us as lawmakers who are forcing a woman, in following her conscientious belief, to go to gaol for her loyalty to that conscientious belief? [More…]
Despite the inability of the Attorney-General, when he thinks of the National Service Act, to think rationally on compassionate grounds, I ask him whether in the cold comfort and calm of the night he will reconsider this question and say whether it is in the public interest to keep this woman in gaol. [More…]
They asked for the release of a woman who has been gaoled for the non-payment of a fine which was imposed because of her breach of the Crimes Act. [More…]
He treated with contempt the request made to him tonight for some leniency for a woman who is not gaining any advantage. [More…]
She is not a candidate for high office or any other office, but a woman who has strong convictions and who has been gaoled. [More…]
It shows the way in which he believes that he personally ought to fight the Vietnam war when all he can do is sneer at senators who asked the question, sneer at the woman who is in gaol and sneer at everybody in Australia who has been opposed to the Vietnam war. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral is very strong on law and order when it comes to a woman who has signed an advertisement and refused to pay her fine. [More…]
Not only did Senator Greenwood attack and besmirch the woman who has been gaoled because she has a clear, conscientious belief but also he doubted the sincerity and integrity of 2 colleagues in the Senate, colleagues who stand for principles, who rose to defend the integrity of Mrs McLean and to plead for compassion on the part of the AttorneyGeneral (Senator Greenwood). [More…]
I know most of them, and I would say that each man and woman on that staff is determined to do his or her best for Aborigines and Islanders; but they are severely restricted not only by the Minister who does not know what his job is all about but also by the Prime Minister who does not care what it is all about. [More…]
I want to pay full tribute to one woman who worked on behalf of John Belia over a long period of time. [More…]
He has a wife who reminds me in a way of the wife of the ex-Attorney-General of the United States - a rather loud-mouthed woman named Mrs Mitchell who was constantly embarrassing her husband. [More…]
I doubt whether every Italian or Yugoslav woman of child-bearing age necessarily speaks French. [More…]
The woman made an application for deserted wife’s pension. [More…]
Because the separation was by agreement the woman can never be recognised as a deserted wife.. [More…]
Surely this breaks the agreement and today the woman is deserted? [More…]
But the Department says that the woman is not deserted and that she can never claim to be. [More…]
The Department is discriminating against people on religious grounds, because this woman would have to break all of her religious beliefs in order to comply with the Act. [More…]
I would think too that the committee will take its own research into areas which will show they way in which a woman may exercise her choice to combine the role of motherhood and homekeeper while engaging in profitable employment for which she has no doubt been trained. [More…]
On the other hand, however, if there is to be a right to choose by a woman for her self-expression and the way in which she interprets her role as a parent and as a responsible member of the community, then 1 feel that in this particular case some action by the Government was necessary. [More…]
One woman rang me only a fortnight ago and said that in America they are abandoning the idea of child care centres as they are regarded as evil institutions that are causing all sorts of troubles. [More…]
A woman may be stitching lace onto the same type of dress all day; yet people talk of careers for women. [More…]
On the other hand a woman may have 4, 5 or 6 children with completely different personalities which need to be loved. [More…]
I would prefer to see our society pointing to the idealism of a career of this character once a woman embarks upon it rather than have it say: ‘Let us snatch you from the bondage of the bedroom and the kitchen and so on’ - a domain which is all her own. [More…]
There are many modern appliances to take much of the drudgery out of a woman’s life and to leave her far more time than was available to our parents and grandparents to enjoy the intricacies of family life and the wonders of developing new lives and new personalities. [More…]
A woman with a lifetime of experience in pre-school teaching expressed very strong views to me on this matter. [More…]
the following definition: - 1 “widow” in relation to a deceased employee includes a woman who, although not legally married to the employee, lived with him at the time of his death on a bona fide domestic basis and, in relation to a deceased aboriginal native of Australia or of a Territory of the Commonwealth not forming part of the Commonwealth, includes a person who was recognised as the wife of that aboriginal native by the custom prevailing in the tribe or group of aboriginal natives of Australia or of such a Territory to which that aboriginal native belonged.

Miss Evatt was the first woman to win the University Medal on graduation from the Sydney University Law School. [More…]
I therefore ask: On what principle does he prejudice and penalise a woman of limited means who is concerned to obtain a divorce from a husband who has no answer to her claim, by taking away her right to have her costs paid by that husband? [More…]
Yet this present Government has announced that the rewards for the labour of a man or woman depends no longer on the basis of the value of work performed but on whether a man or woman is a unionist. [More…]
The Government’s view is that the special or total and permanent incapacity rate payable to a man or woman who has been classified as totally and permanently incapacitated because of war related incapacity should not be less than the adult Commonwealth minimum wage. [More…]
I remember a story that I heard once about a woman who lost a very good husband. [More…]

Under the old State Act, you may remember, there were not women co-respondents but a woman with whom a husband was alleged to have committed adultery was given notice and she was allowed to intervene if she wished and she became an intervener. [More…]
refer to a certain well publicised event which took place in Canberra last weekend, namely, the presence of 17 applicants who were short listed for the position of what has become known as the Prime Minister’s superwoman I ask the Minister: Does the Prime Minister expect to obtain the services of such a super woman for the salary of $10,000 per annum, which is far less than many women who would be highly qualified for the position and who have much greater security of employment than they are likely to have on the Prime Minister’s staff are now earning? [More…]
Whether he thinks I am incapable of picking out a superwoman or just an ordinary woman, 1 do not know. [More…]
Press reports that a woman said that Yugoslavs often spent weekends at a You Yangs farmhouse have not been borne out by investigation. [More…]

Yes, it’s simple: Every man, woman and child in Australia has in their bodies radioactive material from the French tests as well as other tests. ‘ [More…]
Replacement fertility, the level of reproduction con sistent with ultimate zero population growth, under contemporary conditions of mortality in the United States of America averages out to 2.11 children per woman over a life time. [More…]
The fact of life is that every man, woman and child in this community has radioactive material in his or her body as a result of the tests, including the French tests in the pacific, and this is causing more and more disquiet as more is learned about these problems by international scientists in the biological field and especially the genetic field. [More…]
Under the legislation, a young British woman who was a deserted wife or unwed mother could come to Australia for a year or 2 and become entitled to receive a pension paid by the Australian taxpayer for the remainder of her life back in England. [More…]
I think he gave the example of a young English woman who is a deserted wife- [More…]
In answer to the honourable senator, who referred to a young English woman who is a deserted wife - I accept his assurance that that example was given by way of illustration - and since the honourable senator wanted to know what action the Government would take in the event of considerable abuses of this legislation occurring, on behalf of the Government I assure him that if, in the renegotiation of an agreement with Britain, in the type of case mentioned by way of illustration by the honourable senator it was found that excesses were apparent, then the agreement would, from the Australian viewpoint, be amended accordingly. [More…]
He murdered him and robbed a woman of a husband and a large family of its father. [More…]

Are allegations contained in the Monthly Bulletin correct that (a) a Commonwealth Department of Health official visiting a 95 year old, helpless and partially blind woman admitted for intensive care, suggested that the woman should try to get up and, she having taken a few steps, decided that she did not need intensive care: the woman allegedly dying the following day; and (b) a patient suffering from a deteriorating condition of bowel cancer, admitted to a nursing home by his family doctor who agreed to complete the form NH5 after admission, was subsequently discharged from the nursing home because of a Departmental letter warning of possible deregistration of the nursing home if the new rules were not observed and only readmitted subsequently as the result of many hours of search by the family doctor to finally secure telephone approval from a Commonwealth Medical Officer; and (c) a doctor seeking the speedy admission of a 67 year old helpless woman followed precisely the new regulations and forwarded the form NH5 by post, receiving Departmental approval some 8 days later.

Where cash benefits provided under compulsory social insurance are based on previous earnings, they shall be at a rate of not less than two-thirds of the woman’s previous earnings taken into account for the purpose of computing benefits. [More…]
If we are talking about the way in which a woman should have the freedom of choice to exercise whether she wishes to be wholly engaged as a home maker or to combine this with some career for her own fulfilment and for a national contribution to our economy, we need to consider that perhaps Government assistance will be required in the form of incentives to employers to provide more flexibility in hours and types of services in which women may work. [More…]
While absent from work on maternity leave in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, the woman shall be entitled to receive cash and medical benefits. [More…]
It was certainly a good contribution from a woman’s angle. [More…]
We have said for years and years: ‘Give us the opportunity to do something for all the people in this country - not the silvertails, not the privileged few at the top of the list but for every man, woman and child in the Australian community’. [More…]

Is it correct, as reported in the Sydney ‘Daily Mirror’ of yesterday, that the Australian Government intends to pay more than $5,000 for a coffee table which depicts woman in a most degrading and abhorrent way? [More…]
It is disgraceful that there has been no woman appointed as a Federal Judge or as a permanent head in our Public Service. [More…]
I am open to correction but I understand from what I heard the other day that of about 800 officers in the Second Division of the Public Service only one is a woman. [More…]
I think it would be a very poor country that did not make some acknowledgement or some concession to the fact that a man or woman who suffers from this disease had served in a war in the defence of this country. [More…]
Although in theory equal status is conferred upon women, honourable senators will recall that there has been no woman judge since Federation, no woman permanent head of any Commonwealth department and, I think, only one woman in about 800 officers in the Second Division of the Public Service. [More…]

But if a woman is the wife of a grower, just because she has the stigma of being married to the grower, the grower is limited to one ladle out of $1,500. [More…]

But how can a doctor maintain that trust which a woman patient has in him when out of the doctor’s own sponsorship comes these half truths and this scare campaign that has been spread around the country over the last two or three months? [More…]

I refer to the Carlingford case involving a woman who was denied justice because of an accident that took place in the United States of America. [More…]

I refer to Dame Dorothy Tangney, who relinquished her teaching career in Western Australia to become the first woman member of the Commonwealth Senate in 1943, and serving West Australians, and Australia as a whole, with exemplary dedication for 25 years, during which time she held many responsible positions, including that of Temporary Chairman of Committees in the Senate. [More…]
I have mentioned before in this place the Bekovich case, but I did not mention the case until the woman involved received justice. [More…]
The rotten fund in New South Wales to which she belonged wanted to hold up the payment of money to that woman who never thought that she would be able to walk again. [More…]
If she gets up to a more believable salary of $45 a week, although no woman works for that today- I only go this far because this is as far as the table goes- then the Government takes $30.67 a year off her because she has no dependants to claim as her husband is working too. [More…]
It seems to me inevitable, natural, normal and appropriate for a man- it could be a woman in the world in which we live today- who accepts this highest office in the land and who serves the whole of the people of this nation to be able on his retirement to keep at that high level thereafter as one of the elder statesmen of the nation. [More…]
Senator Dame Nancy Buttfield has had a hard road to hoe in what is essentially a male community whose members perhaps do not understand a woman’s approach to a problem. [More…]

It is our duty, our responsibility and our privilege to secure for every Australian man, woman and child the quality of life that will result in achieving, or at least may help people to achieve, a way of life of their own choice but of an intellectual, material and spiritual quality, if you wish, that is not discriminatory of anyone in any way, and I do commend that to honourable senators. [More…]
A woman in Western Australia at least- I speak only of the situation there- cannot be a guarantor for her children to attend tertiary education institutions when a bonding agreement is necessary. [More…]

The family to which that young woman belonged was not a member of any medical benefit organisation, but in her home city one of the many doctors who have a humane outlook on life, who treat people as patients and who remember their sacred oath, treated this young woman under the pensioner medical scheme. [More…]
I speak not only of the fact that such fathers have to pay for housekeeping assistance to care for their children but also of the fact that they face many other difficulties related to unemployment benefit and other things in respect of which they do not have access to government programs as a woman would have in the same circumstances.

Many measures that concern the people of the Australian Capital Territory are debated in that chamber but the people of the Australian Capital Territory do not have a representative to participate in any debate in the Senate, as they have no opportunity to send a man or a woman to express their point of view in that chamber.

But what I say is that when mothers are not at home 24 hours a day playing their traditional role the children are at risk if society does not take steps to provide substitutes for all the roles a woman fills in the home at that time. [More…]
In that State when a woman finds she is deserted- her husband has gone because of all sorts of pressuresshe has nowhere to turn. [More…]
Presumably nobody does care because, under existing legislation, if that woman cannot prove to the satisfaction of the police- they check- that she has somewhere that night to keep her children they are taken from her and put in a State institution. [More…]
It is the body which finds the motel room in which to put the woman and the child or children so that they are not broken up, so that the children do not suffer the traumatic experience of being taken away and put in a home. [More…]
This is the body which pays the bills, which puts up the bond for the house which the woman eventually finds and which looks after the family. [More…]
They indicate that on 12 August 1 974 the Prime Minister approved of the Australian National Gallery purchasing the painting Woman V by Willem de Kooning for the sum of US$850,000 from Richard Gray, art dealer of Chicago, acting for Mrs Arthur C. Rosenberg, also of Chicago. [More…]
I might have had the benefit- I only wish I had had the benefit- of marrying a very wealthy woman. [More…]
She is a very fine woman. [More…]
It follows upon the question asked by the Leader of the Opposition regarding the acquisition by the Australian National Gallery of the Willem de Kooning painting ‘Woman V. I now ask the AttorneyGeneral: Will he confirm that the National Gallery of Victoria in 1973 purchased a painting Val-D Aosta’ by Turner for $475,000 with money supplied by the State Liberal Government? [More…]
Will he confirm the statement made by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Queensland Art Gallery that paintings of Willem de Kooning, the artist of the controversial painting ‘Woman V, auctioned in the last 12 months have brought, in February 1973 in Washington Stg2,857, in July in London Stg3,000 and in New York in May 1973 Stg5,200? [More…]
Obviously there are very great difficulties in arriving at a definition not only of a theatre of war but of what constitutes an allied ex-service man or woman. [More…]
The ‘Four Corners’ people say that they then saw a woman leave the house in a car and they followed that car to a nearby police station. [More…]
The Australian Broadcasting Commission people say that they had no intention of harassing the woman concerned and apologised for causing anxiety to anyone involved. [More…]
This will hurt the ordinary man and woman. [More…]
Will he tell the Senate why it is necessary, as the term ‘ex-service man or woman’ has been in common use in Australia for over 50 years? [More…]
We are buying paintings such as “ Blue Poles “ and “ Woman V “.’ [More…]
On the other hand the residence qualification for widow’s pension is immediately satisfied if a woman and her husband were residing permanently in Australia when she became a widow. [More…]
To be consistent with the residence requirement for de jure widows it is proposed to enable any woman who becomes a widow or a supporting mother as defined in the Social Services Act while residing overseas to be residentially qualified for widow’s pension or supporting mother’s benefit, as appropriate, immediately on her return to Australia providing she has been continuously resident in Australia for not less than 10 years at any time. [More…]
On passage of this Bill the residence qualification for widow’s pension will be satisfied if a woman and her husband were residing permanently in Australia when she became a ‘widow’. [More…]
In other cases, 5 years’ continuous residence immediately preceding lodgment of the claim will be required, but this will be waived where the woman became a ‘widow’ overseas if she has lived in Australia for a continuous period of 10 years at any time. [More…]
A woman with a child of her own or a child who entered her care before she became a widow is a class A widow and attracts payment of a mother’s allowance and additional pension for the children. [More…]
A woman who ceases to be a class A widow because her qualifying child turns sixteen or ceases to be a full time student, may become a class B widow if she is at least 45 years of age at that time. [More…]
On the other hand an unmarried woman may be granted an age pension at age 60 or an invalid pension and, in addition, receive additional pension for each child in her care, and guardian’s allowance irrespective of whether she is the mother of the children and irrespective of the date the children entered her care. [More…]
The reminder is in the form of a pencil drawing of a woman with a matted mass of hair and the caption ‘We hate to get in your hair but this account is overdue ‘. [More…]
After all, a woman living in Bourke may have to make an immediate application- a custody application or a maintenance application. [More…]
In an era when women are asserting more and more successfully and more justifiably their equality before the law and in all respects with men, I suggest it is not appropriate that marriage should be regarded as constituting a right to permanent support no matter what the circumstances and no matter whether or not a woman is capable of taking her place in the work force. [More…]
In examining these clauses, as Senator Missen pointed out, the Committee came to the conclusion that the Bill had not paid quite enough regard to the situation of a woman, say, in middle life who may never have entered the work force or may have been in the work force so long ago that she would find it inordinantly difficult, if not impossible, to enter or re-enter the work force or be trained for some sort of work but who may have made a career of being a housewife and a mother. [More…]
This is not a dishonourable calling, not matter how unfashionable it may be with the more militantly liberationist of modern woman- and I do not say that as any reflection on them but neither do I consider it to be any reflection on a woman to have chosen to live her life that way. [More…]
It might be argued that a woman who has made such sacrifices as I have just suggested in the interests of the marriage would be entitled to a level of maintenance that would take into account not merely the standard of living which the couple enjoyed at the time the marriage broke down but also the fact that the efforts of such a woman have made it possible for such a man to enjoy a standard of life considerably higher than they had during the marriage. [More…]
In a period of 2 -income families, the woman who just has to grit her teeth and bear an intolerable marriage is, I am glad to say, disappearing. [More…]
No matter what new ideas come, we must try now to protect the stable bonding of man and woman and provide a stable situation in which children can be brought up and protected and in which family life can be established. [More…]
All that this tells me is that there is an area of potential hardship for some women, especially ibr the mature woman to whom Senator James McClelland referred who may have had only a brief period in the workforce. [More…]
As a supreme example of that, I cite a fairly recent Tasmanian case in which a woman in defended divorce proceedings was cross-examined so comprehensively in relation to the intimate personal details of her marital life that during the course of the case she committed suicide. [More…]
Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
There are different points of view regarding the granting of a wage to a woman who is employed within the home. [More…]
There is the other point of view that the level of a pension payment of about $20 a week which would be set for that economic work would disadvantage the woman who is seeking to assert herself in the economic climate of our community. [More…]
He is not entitled to the sorts of pensions to which a woman in the same circumstances is entitled. [More…]
We are providing for an increase of 50c a week to $5.50 a week in the rate of additional payments for children of pensioners, supporting mothers and unemployment and sickness beneficiaries; an increase of $ 1 a week to $5 a week in the rate of supplementary assistance and supplementary allowance; the removal of the residence requirement for invalid pension where permanent incapacity or blindness occurs in Australia; changes in the residence qualifications for widows’ pensions and supporting mothers’ benefits to permit a woman who becomes a widow or supporting mother while absent from Australia to obtain a pension or benefit on return to Australia if she has lived in Australia for 10 years continually at any time; payment of a mother’s allowance and an additional pension for the children of class D widows; and the repeal of the ‘character’ and the ‘not deserving’ provisions of the Act. [More…]
Surely we should do something to see that in such circumstances a woman is supported if it can be readily proved that her husband caused the problem. [More…]
In past times the woman was really the servant of the family. [More…]
But there is a changing role today, and the woman in the modern household in most instances is being alerted to the possibility of a changed role. [More…]
There is not the requirement that a woman has to serve one or two days a week at the wash tub. [More…]
The work that a woman has to do in that area today in so many families consists of using a machine which can be left to do the work while she is away on other jobs. [More…]
For instance, there is freedom for the woman and an opportunity for her to get away from the home during the day or mix with society in the evening. [More…]
The relationship between man and woman and the development of a home and family still bind us to the best institution there can be for people in our society. [More…]
There are people from the lower grades of society, whom many honourable senators would have met, among whom the woman is still the servant within the home and pretty hardly done by by the partner to the marriage, and there is very little hope of her getting away from what she has to put up with. [More…]
The Bill does not take adequate account of the position of a woman of mature years who, by reason of her marriage, could not reasonably be expected to return to or enter the work force - [More…]
It appears to me to be totally unfair that a woman who may have been married for 30 years without working outside the home could be obliged, if she is healthy and apparently capable of working, to look after herself. [More…]
A woman with small children should feel she can go to the local town hall or some such place and find out factually what happens, what to do, how much it will cost because, really, there is nowhere she can find out these things other than by making an appointment and fronting up to a solicitor. [More…]
I can imagine people saying: ‘Oh, well, she is a woman, so she would be concerned.’ [More…]
Because she and her husband proved incompatible does not mean that this woman, who probably received no training to earn her living, or if she did it was at best 25 years since she did, and who has no assurance in her own ability, should be forced out into the community to earn her living. [More…]
A woman teacher stated: [More…]
The new wife and her children also have rights and should not be expected to be deprived and forced out to work to provide for the lazy, good for nothing and often neurotic woman whose own ineptitude or greed caused the breakdown of the marriage. [More…]
They are confusing, humiliating and useless because the woman must show that she has tried to implement it. [More…]
Although today there is talk about changes in marriage- I believe that there are quite significant changes in the relationships in marriage, and Senator Webster spoke about that this afternoonnevertheless, I still believe that the view of marriage in our society, whether it is regarded as a Christian society or not, is still basically the Christian view, and that is the voluntary union of a man and a woman for their joint lives to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
The incredible network of personal and social responsibilities which derive from the mere fact of a man and a woman joining their lives together for any reasonable length of time necessitates a legal institution to protect those rights and to enforce the duties which undoubtedly flow from a marriage. [More…]
However, I must emphasise again that I reject any concept of marriage other than the one man, one woman, one family institution. [More…]
I have also seen the misery of the unhappy marriage in which one or other partner, usually the woman, is unable to escape from this disastrous partnership for social, economic or psychological reasons. [More…]
The contract is voluntarily entered into between one man and one woman for life. [More…]
Marriage is now, in the eyes of the law and of the Church, the voluntary union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others for life. [More…]
They say: Well, look at the position of a wife whose husband illtreats her, behaves badly, perhaps enters into an adulterous liaison with another woman, who physically illtreats her and so on. [More…]
Why should that woman be denied the right to immediate relief?’ [More…]
During the ‘separation’ period, he can reside in the matrimonial home, even co-habiting there with another woman. [More…]
mortality rate for the Dalkon shield is claimed by the company marketing the products to be 0.5 per 100,000 woman years c.f. [More…]
We have purchased 2 paintings, ‘Blue Poles’ and ‘Woman V’.I would like an idea of the proportion that is allowed for commissions on these purchases. [More…]
Since then we have bought another abortion of a thing called Woman V. Honourable senators must have seen reproductions of it. [More…]
Have they ever seen any woman looking like that? [More…]
I would certainly need some imagination to see a woman like ‘Woman V. That is the sort of thing that is being put up. [More…]
I certainly believe that parents- a man and a woman who marry and decide to become parents- have a joint responsibility for as long as those children are dependent, whether or not the man and the woman continue to remain in a state of matrimony. [More…]
There is another very crucial area which relates to the matter of property: What is the value of the labours of the woman who follows the traditional role of wife, housewife and mother, in the accumulation of property? [More…]
I suggest to the Senate that there will be no real equality for women in Australia until there is some coming to grips with the economic status of this type of woman. [More…]
The woman who stays at home and who contributes to the family and to the economy of the family through what we call home duties occupies an economic role far greater than that which is given official recognition through the laws of our land. [More…]
Many people feel that in that situation the woman who goes out to work earns money which is sheer cop. [More…]
The cost to the family of the woman working outside the home is very high. [More…]
We must balance this against the traditional situation of the woman who stays at home and who does not have that separate economic identity. [More…]
However, when we are looking at the question of maintenance and property we must devise some means of giving that woman a separate economic identity. [More…]
I refer to the woman marrying, becoming a mother and necessarily, almost inevitably, withdrawing from the work force and the effect that this has on her earning capacity. [More…]
It is not for nothing that the existing Marriage Act 1 96 1 expresses in section 69(2) as the secular concept of marriage ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
All I can say is that I commend to every young woman that she get herself a teacher’s college scholarship as quickly as possible because that seems to me to be the likely way to ensure protection, despite the fact that I think the poets will win out in the end and marriage will go on with the same optimism as it has for centuries. [More…]
But the basis and principal theme of our debate revolves, firstly, I would say, around the institution of marriage, the preserving and protection of this institution, this ideal of marriage of the union of one man and one woman voluntarily entered into for their lives. [More…]
Marriage is a covenant into which, under the creative will of God, a man and a woman enter for full, life-long and exclusive fellowship. [More…]
The advent of the pill and other advanced means of contraception has emancipated our women in a most unprecedented way and it has altered our outlook on the man/woman relationship. [More…]
There is a policy in China that the woman is equal to a man. [More…]
China has this policy, it appeared to me that all that it meant was that the burdens of being a woman were added to by the burdens of being a man and part of the workforce. [More…]
If a woman is a member of a production team, which they all are when they are old enough, becomes pregnant then, firstly, that reduces her income, and secondly, it reduces the income of the production team. [More…]
I might add that once a woman is 7 months pregnant she is allowed off the night shift, which is something, and when she has the baby she is allowed to feed it but at 56 days she has to wean it and then the child is taken off to a nursery and the mother goes back to work. [More…]
I have heard it said on many occasions and repeated in this Senate that marriage according to law in Australia is the union of man and woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life and not to be entered into lightly or inadvisedly. [More…]
the domicile of a woman who is, or has at any time been, married shall be determined as if she had never been married; and [More…]
In sub-clause ( I ), insert the following new definition: marriage’, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life:. [More…]
If we are going to talk about marriage and as the Bill contains definitions of other things, I think it should contain the definition of marriage as between man and woman, because we are living in a world where we are reading that certain people are suggesting that marriage, should be allowable in relation to certain deviants as I think we generally and universally accept it. [More…]
The authorised celebrant is enjoined by the Act to inform the parties of the nature of marriage and, among other things, to tell them that marriage according to law is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
It is a very curious thing that in sections 46 and 69 of the Marriage Act there appear these statements in regard to what the celebrant says to people being married, namely, ‘marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
It is fundamental, in my opinion, to retain that which by common law concept the Australian community has adopted throughout our history- that marriage is, as set out in this definition, ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
By his original amendment he is saying that marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
Baltic Council in South Australia protesting against a reported insulting remark made by the Prime Minister to a woman at an election meeting in Queensland? [More…]
In regard to paragraph (a), I understand that Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson intends to move to add the words ‘as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
at the end of paragraph (a) add the following words: ‘as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
Honourable senators will observe that my amendment is different from the circulated amendment which read: ‘which, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
at end of paragraph (a), add the following words- as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
Without going through all the argument again I suggest that the judgment that honourable senators have to make- and, when the Bill is disposed of here, that members of the other place will have to make- is whether that in itself is a complete and absolute ground for dissolution of marriage, which marriage has been carried out in good faith between one woman and one man on the basis of a contract for life. [More…]
It still regards marriage, at least as an ideal, as a union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
Does the message also allege that the husband and 4-year old son ofthe dead woman were also tortured in her presence? [More…]
For once I feel myself in the company of Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, lt is said that marriage is something voluntarily entered into by a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others for life. [More…]
Suppose this woman, who has been abandoned by this well off husband, has been divorced and obtained maintenance, and then in her loneliness decided to remarry and married a man who is on the minimum wage. [More…]
Under the clause of the Bill as printed, that woman will cease to be entitled to any maintenance and will have no rights in respect of her former husband whatsoever. [More…]
It may well be that in most cases this provision will not be required but what the Committee is objecting to are the absolute provisions of the sub-clause as printed which would exclude a woman in those circumstances. [More…]
Consider also the situation where a woman has remarried and the second marriage ends because ofthe death of the second husband. [More…]
It will be of benefit to any person in immediate need: To the permanently homeless, to the deserted or disturbed woman and her children, to the Aboriginal or teenager in want or distress, to the battered woman or the battered child, to the single parent- in short, to anyone without support or an income. [More…]
The Government has purchased ‘Woman V and so on. [More…]
It was, of course, this Government which took the step last year of appointing a woman to the Wool Corporation, and a most competent member she has turned out to be. [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to an article by David Brunton in last Monday’s Melbourne ‘Herald’ in which the writer claims that Senator Cotton, in calling for new members for the Liberal Party at Randwick racecourse last Sunday, said that if the one hundred thousandth member was a woman she could have her pick of the Liberal shadow cabinet. [More…]
So I would suggest that in fact Senator Cotton should examine what he said and perhaps make a little qualification that the one hundred thousandth member, if a woman, can aspire to any job in the shadow cabinet but not the leadership, about which there is apparently no doubt whatsoever in the ranks of the Opposition. [More…]
Is it a fact that a woman can find herself pregnant, obtain a job in the Commonwealth Public Service, work for only one week and then be entitled to 3 months leave on full pay without having to return to work at the end of the time? [More…]
-The first question, as I understand it, is whether it is a fact that a woman can find herself pregnant. [More…]
This Government exists for the welfare of every man, woman and child in the Australian community. [More…]
Every man, woman and child in the Australian community ought to be on an equal footing. [More…]
Medibank will provide free medical insurance cover for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
It is a matter of some wonder to me that this new scheme, which will disadvantage every man, woman and child in Queensland, is being brought in mainly by the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) and the Minister for Health (Dr Everingham) who are Queenslanders. [More…]
At the present time a woman who becomes a contributor to a medical or hospital benefits fund when pregnant is not entitled to benefits in respect of fees incurred in connection with the pregnancy. [More…]
The Bill enables a health benefits organisation which is already operating a special account to transfer to that account a pregnant woman who becomes a contributor to the fund. [More…]
Has the Department paid for or otherwise funded any advertising program for women’s organisations in Australia in connection with Internationa] Woman’s Year? [More…]
It is not possible that the nightmare of Vietnam will ever pass from the memory or the conscience of any man or woman of our time. [More…]
It is only timely to note that at present a woman who becomes a contributor to a medical or hospital benefits fund when pregnant is not entitled to benefits in respect of fees incurred in connection with the pregnancy. [More…]
This particular Bill now enables a health benefits organisation, which is already operating a special account, to transfer to that account a pregnant woman’s benefits after she becomes a contributor to the fund. [More…]
2), which removes the present anomally relating to the long waiting period for a pregnant woman to become eligible for fund benefits, and also removes the fortnight’s delay in which people who are incapacitated or unemployed are involved. [More…]
The simple fact of the matter is that, as I understand it- I did not see the program- a woman asserted that Dr Cairns had at one stage pulled down an Australian flag and given obeisance, as it were, to a Vietcong flag. [More…]

She has been described by the President of the Law Council of Australia as the best student ever to pass through the Australian National University legal workshop and she was the first Australian woman to participate in an international law seminar. [More…]
The activities of the Government certainly have a great deal of relevance to the happiness and contentment of every man, woman and child in the Australian electorate. [More…]
If people cannot get the man or woman they want to be elected, under the preferential voting system they have the opportunity to sit down and to say: ‘If I cannot have this person I will have that person. [More…]
I do not know whether the woman’s husband was approached. [More…]
Then arrangements were made for another to take that woman’s place. [More…]
We are basically all working together to make the woman’s lot, in this country, a more equal one with men. [More…]
When one woman went to be retrained, the person interviewing her asked whether it was fair that she be retrained as she may have more children and in that case the skills she acquired would not be used by the community. [More…]
This woman pointed out that she had had a hysterectomy, so she was not likely to have any more children. [More…]
In many instances, in interviews for such appointments women applicants are asked whether their husbands are happy about the prospect of their going overseas, whether it is the husband’s wish that the woman should go overseas and whether the husband will find suitable work and be happy in the country to which the appointee will be posted. [More…]
According to a spokesman for the Board of Works the thinking is that a single woman has greater claims to preference in employment. [More…]
She has to provide for her future needs whereas a married woman is not even responsible for her debts. [More…]
Apart from the fact, I suppose, that a woman may want to be independent, while she is tied to those sorts of provisions she has not any hope of providing for her own future and being independent. [More…]
But if one is a woman one must know where to look for it. [More…]
One must certainly know where to look for it if one is a woman on her own. [More…]
When looking at discrimination we must take in the situation which existed in Western Australia until at least 12 months ago when it was not even possible because of discrimination for a woman to sign a guarantee for her son or daughter to continue his or her tertiary education. [More…]
If a woman wanted her child to become a teacher and there was a bonding agreement to sign, only a male could sign. [More…]
If a woman was a deserted wife and had no idea where her husband was she had to get the signature of a male relative. [More…]
But I do know that not long ago there was an application from a woman who had had the audacity to answer an advertisement that was placed in the men and boys’ column of the Press for the position of Clerk of Papers in the New South Wales Parliament. [More…]
It involves shifting files and papers, sometimes in considerable bulk, and we did not think this appropriate employment fora woman’. [More…]
The woman has a baby in her arms and a toddler or two hanging on to her skirts and because she is not allowed to take a pram or stroller into the supermarket precincts- sacred precincts- she avails herself of a trolley which invariably has four wheels which all want to go in opposite directions. [More…]
Any man who says that a woman is incapable of lifting heavy loads and files of paper must have rocks in his head when one considers the work the women do in the supermarket. [More…]
There is abundant evidence in this country at this point of time of puny public officials in central Australia and the Northern Territory who take it upon themselves to say to an Aboriginal woman or man that they are not to get social services or child endowment because in the puny mind of those officials the Aborigines might spend the money in a way that does not suit the custom of the white man. [More…]
I found her to be a charming woman to talk to because she could speak the language; she spoke much better English than many of us. [More…]
This woman who was of islander extraction, spoke perfect English in a delightful manner. [More…]
A clerk from another office brought an Aboriginal woman to my office and told me he had been told by his principals to get rid of her because they did not care to act for Aborigines. [More…]
Indeed, the clerk who brought the woman to me told me that he had already taken instructions and he thought she had a very good case. [More…]
That, to me, is blatant discrimination, and this woman was subjected to it not only by a government department but also by my own profession. [More…]

He showed me the Ordinance in question which on its face would appear to support what he says, that is, that a man may be left with as little as $23 a week and a woman with as little as $15.25 a week under the garnishee proceedings of this Ordinance which was made in 1966. [More…]
I want to be permitted to preface my remarks by saying that the woman in the contract of marriage is the person who carries the seeds of intercourse and the person who has the responsibility for young babies. [More…]
For a woman in practical circumstances to be denied the right to immediate divorce in the case of a husband’s unfaithfulness, where it is not practicable for her to undertake separation, is a rank injustice. [More…]
That aspect is certainly considered and dealt with in the Bill because clause 1 14, with provision for injunctions and orders, is designed to cover the hardship that a woman may suffer during the period before a divorce. [More…]
The other aspect about which I am concerned particularly from the woman’s point of view - [More…]
The other aspect I was about to get on to is from the woman’s point of view, which is of particular interest to me from the humanitarian angle, and thinking of not every women being one of those liberated people who can earn $lm whenever they feel like it, or so they say. [More…]
I am disturbed by Senator Wright’s remarks that in letting the legislation go through he believes that insufficient consideration has been given to the welfare of a woman such as one who is about to have a baby or who has just had a baby. [More…]
While that Will probably cause some judges some puzzling, on the other hand, what this clause does in effect is to provide for the consideration of the position of a woman who wants to remain a wife and mother without resuming work, something that on the question of maintenance the court has to consider. [More…]
No longer does the little woman sit at home and wait and hope that her husband will be able to provide well for her and himself in the now and in the future. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for the Media: Has the Minister been alerted to a Press report stating that an Adelaide radio personality was sacked from a South Australian radio station for allowing a caller on a talk-back program to continue making untrue derogatory political accusations about a well-known Adelaide woman who is an active member of the Australian Labor Party? [More…]
The facts as they have been related to me by the Australian Broadcasting Control Board are that a woman called the station and said she had heard the Premier, Mr Dunstan, in a speech welcoming delegates to the International Socialist Conference in South Australia use the word ‘comrades’ very freely.

I join in offering to his wife, Thelma, a very beautiful woman, and to his lovely family- 2 sons and 2 daughters and his grandchildren- and to all other members of his family the condolences of myself, my wife and my family in the great loss that they have sustained in the passing of our esteemed colleague.

I can recall Dame Ivy and me discussing at great length and speaking in this Parliament about the terrible discrimination which was exhibited against a woman member of this chamber. [More…]
First of all, she was a woman who understood parliamentary procedures. [More…]
I say that in no term of deprecation, because a woman who comes into Parliament and finds herself confronted with standing orders which have been devised for the character and quality of men and the peculiarities which they exhibit to each other from time to time sometimes feels slightly ill at ease.

I do not know of any woman who has not matured in that sense by the age of 16. [More…]
So if a person happens to be disabled as a result of an accident and the person happens to be pregnant- and one has to be a woman to be that- the company could and possibly would refuse payment on that sole ground, namely, the fact that she is pregnant. [More…]
Let us look at what happens to a woman executive, who could be the managing director of her own company. [More…]
One woman of whom I know was advised that the insurance company she had chosen to give her a quote would provide her with a maximum of 2 years coverage, subject to a 50 per cent loading. [More…]
Her premium would be 50 per cent higher purely and simply because she is a woman. [More…]
So what those discriminatory clauses mean is that a woman pays 50 per cent more than her male counterpart for each $10 a week coverage for the sickness component, even if they are doing the same job. [More…]
If you are a professional who is paid a fee for service, if you are a musician, an artist or a singer or if you work in the area of advertising- if you work not for a full 12 months but on a fee for service basis- and on top of all those things or any of them you have the audacity to be a woman, at the moment you need not expect to be able to get coverage from an insurance company because the policies specifically state that women are excluded if they work on a commission, fee for service or part time basis. [More…]
One of the first questions a woman is asked when she applies to take out an insurance policy is her maiden name. [More…]
I have not yet seen one standard form from an insurance company offering a woman any form of insurance that does not require this information. [More…]
Let us look at the woman who lives in a mixed household, which is quite acceptable in these days of changing life styles, where there are a number of females and a number of males. [More…]
Such a woman may want to insure her portion of those household goods. [More…]
Even if the woman has a profession and is earning about $10,000 to $15,000 a year she may be refused insurance cover for her household possessions. [More…]
Very few women have ever been able to become more than an officer, which is slightly higher than a clerk, but is possibly considered to be a reasonably high appointment for a woman in the industry. [More…]
There is nothing to be ashamed of in being a woman. [More…]
He either read Woman’s Day or something else and he realised that Australia’s growing problems were not a mishmash of hooha. [More…]
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of this year’s Budget, particularly to the man and woman in the street, is the appropriation of $1.12m for consumer protection. [More…]
These people who talk like that just make you sick and they make the average woman in Australia sick. [More…]
They are no more in touch with the thinking of the average woman in Australia than Gough Whitlam is in touch with the Australian people. [More…]
Germaine Greer was a married woman at one stage. [More…]
That is the type of woman who is appointed as the chief adviser on women’s affairs. [More…]
She would have no more in common with the average woman in Australia than would this table. [More…]
Mr President, the allocation to this woman Reid is in the Budget. [More…]
No credit can be given to the Government- indeed it deserves to be condemned- for the increases since it came to office in the cost of living of the ordinary man and woman, the worker, that downtrodden citizen to whom it pays so much lip service. [More…]
Is it suggested that this distinguished woman is in some way disqualified from appointment merely because she happens to be married to a man who is himself a senior public servant? [More…]
I suggest that the present Conference on Women and Politics needs no better demonstration of how the Australian Press and the Opposition are unwilling to judge a woman on her merits and how they seek to sensationalise the routine appointment of women to public jobs on the basis of totally irrelevant matters. [More…]
I might mention, for anybody who does not happen to know, that Ms Wilenski is a highly gifted, highly qualified woman. [More…]
This was done so that we would have a 3-tier system of broadcasting- national stations through the Australian Broadcasting Commission, commercial stations as we now know them, and a system of public broadcasting where, by and large, any man, woman or child who had a point of view to express which they felt was of benefit to the country could effectively do so. [More…]
Why should we have to spend $5m abroad just to buy another ‘Blue Poles’ or Woman V or some other monstrous thing like that? [More…]
Where are the increases in child endowment which are long overdue- those benefits which would ensure that the woman who wishes to stay at home and raise her family in the age old tradition is not disadvantaged. [More…]
It appeared in a quite prominent position, of course, as do most of the rather sensational items that appear in the Sunday Mirror, that is, on page 3 next to a photograph of a nude woman. [More…]
It is a report about a woman who was prepared to go to gaol rather than pay a fine. [More…]
The publican rings the local police station and 3 big burly policemen arrive on the scene to escort one fragile little woman from licensed premises. [More…]
At the time that I vacated the office of the Minister for the Media one woman journalist had been sent to a posting in London. [More…]
In its election promises the Government also committed itself to a policy of ensuring that women would be appointed to all Government boards and advisory bodies, wherever there is a woman in the State who is capable of contributing to such a board or such a body. [More…]
A woman has already been appointed Chairman of the Consumer Affairs Council. [More…]
There is a woman from the National Party State Executive. [More…]
The Bill also contains a provision which will give specific authority for the exclusion of a woman living with a man on a bona fide domestic basis from entitlement to a widow’s pension. [More…]
Some woman pacifist from the northern suburbs of Sydney had a son who did not want to join the local cadet corps. [More…]
Let me cite another example: A young woman telephoned me the other day. [More…]
She said that the department would not have any more money and that this woman’s husband was likely to lose his job. [More…]
That woman and her 2 children are going to Rangoon to see her husband’s people. [More…]
The first is that, as a woman member of Parliament, I am a member of a particularly small minority group. [More…]
I refer to the woman who, under a great deal of economic pressure, decides to do the most important job in this community- that is, the mother who stays home, who looks after and who nurtures her children into good citizens? [More…]
It is just as heartless an attitude to adopt if a woman has a car, because she still has to make arrangements for her children to be cared for while she is at the hospital. [More…]
I, as a woman, say that a lot of that has to deal with the fact that there are so many men in positions where money is paid out to kindergartens. [More…]
2 position is held by a woman. [More…]
That woman has worked for me for some 3 years and is better at the position than most men one could find. [More…]
But if one looks through the ministerial staffing arrangements over a range of 24 Ministers one will find, as I recall it, that there are some Ministers who have a woman as their principal private secretary. [More…]
To me, the provision of a happy, stable home is the most important task the average woman ever does. [More…]
While I find these changes most laudable and, in many circumstances completely necessary, I ask: How long is it since any government has assisted the woman in the home? [More…]
It is a very frustrating and heartbreaking affair indeed, not only for the young man or woman concerned but for the parents as well. [More…]
This idea was based, of course, on the fact that if a woman has to take a full time job and has to take the full family responsibilities that she might have if she did not hold a job she would be discouraged from having children because children would be a burden to her and would be a burden to the family. [More…]
That is the assumption that if a woman gets pleasure out of the job of being wife and mother, if she gets satisfaction from the job of raising children, if she wants to stay in the home, as we call it, and perform a very particular duty there, she ought to feel guilty and that there is something inhuman or unnatural about making a decision of that type. [More…]
The year before last, this Senate passed a Bill which the House of Representatives finally passed last year in which we made some attempt to give some recognition to the economic contribution of the woman in the home. [More…]
That Bill providedand we have put into law- that the contribution of the woman in the home ought to be considered a contribution to the family economy and ought to be considered as some sort of contribution to the assets of a family and, in the case of marital breakdown, a woman should have a claim as of right to have the assets assessed on the basis of the job that she has done. [More…]
We make it possible for an individual, man or woman, but specifically in this instance a woman, to get some sort of just economic recognition for his or her contribution to the family at the point where a couple recognises that their marriage has broken down and at the point where they have decided not to continue with their marriage. [More…]
However, how can we justify that position as against the woman whose husband dies, who has had a perfectly satisfactory marriage or a happy marriage and who has the misfortune to lose her husband through his death. [More…]
That woman is then dealt with in an entirely different way. [More…]
If it is good enough to make certain property considerations for and to give certain recognitions to a woman at the point of divorce, it is good enough- and it is certainly quite urgent- that we consider doing that at the point of death of the spouse. [More…]
It costs more because there are certain contributions that the woman is unlikely to be able to continue to make to the family economy. [More…]
The fact is that the woman in the home who is not going out to work is making that sort of contribution. [More…]
In that position, a woman in the low income family, particularly if it is low income related to a general low level of education of both parents, is put severely at risk. [More…]
I believe that such a woman is put in a position where quite unbearable pressure can be brought to bear on her to procreate as a means of bringing in family income. [More…]
The supportive role of the second parent- in most cases it is the woman- is important for the family’s economy and we ought to recognise that. [More…]
We do not want the situation in Australia where a man behind an office counter will be the sole judge of whether a young man or young woman applying for the unemployment benefit is getting the correct treatment. [More…]
When this woman was admitted to the Alice Springs hospital the doctor gave her a blood transfusion which could well have increased her blood pressure and caused the haemorrhaging in the split spleen to recur. [More…]
Senator Kilgariff will tell us that that man is the last man likely to do the injury to the woman with whom he was living. [More…]
The evidence that the doctor gave relating to the woman’s death indicates, to my mind, that there is every reason to believe that injustice has been done. [More…]
One young woman stood up- if she had been dressed in male attire I would have mistaken her for Colston- and she asked me, ‘Mr Aikens, what is your attitude to masturbation?’ [More…]
Mr Atwill, warmly welcoming the visit, said there would be great interest in the Conservative Party Leader, who could well become the first woman to be Prime Minister of Britain. [More…]
Sometimes it is of great comfort for a woman to talk to another woman about what is happening to her body, because that woman does understand as it has been happening to her body. [More…]
With the best will in the world, no man can understand how a woman feels in some circumstances because he is not a woman. [More…]
These days there is not the large family unit where there were grandmothers, mothers and aunts to whom a woman could talk. [More…]
I once met a young woman with 5 young children whose husband was dying of a debilitating disease. [More…]
At least in this area people pay lip service to the fact that a woman who does not go out to work may still contribute much to the family home, the family property and even the family business and are seeing that she is a partner in or a part of that circumstance. [More…]
With the change in life style it will be most interesting to see what the Commissioner of Taxation will determine in regard to the woman who decides to go out to work and become the bread winner, and the male who remains at home and looks after the house and the family. [More…]
To quote from a reported statement by Professor Sackville, “there is a lot to be said for the proposition that when it comes to sharing assets, a widow is worse off than a woman getting divorced Tax consequences for the widow are much more severe. [More…]
For instance, we see that, if a woman chooses to stay at home and contribute by her physical capacities or capabilities in that area, she is penalised purely and simply because she stays at home. [More…]
I think we also have to look at the situation of the single woman or the single man who out of love or duty to her or his parents decides to stay at home and look after them when they are no longer able to look after themselves. [More…]
As I have said, it is necessary for a woman to be able to establish that at some time during her married life she has worked and has contributed financially to the establishment and maintenance of a home so that she can be eligible, after the death of her husband, to receive that home free of probate. [More…]
It does not necessarily mean that because a woman comes from a refuge and is in dire straits, her only alternative is to return to an unhappy marital situation where in all possibility she is subjected to some physical activity. [More…]
Recently I was acquainted with a case involving a young woman who had received her results at the end of the first year of this course and subsequently was told that she would not be accepted into the second year. [More…]
One case that comes to mind, a somewhat pathetic case- I know it is only one small case- is that of a woman in Alice Springs who had been waiting for years for the Alice Springs Community College- an annex of the Darwin Community College- to be opened. [More…]
As a woman, perhaps I should explain that the majority of women who I know wear stoles or scarves that would be approximately 5 feet to 6 feet in length. [More…]
If the value of property exceeds $4,500 the woman’s total assets or property are equated with income by treating each complete $20 of assets above $2,000 as equivalent to an income of $2 a year. [More…]
In the case of a Class ‘A’ widow, or a supporting mother, the maximum rate of pension plus the appropriate mother’s allowance and additional pension for children, are affected when the woman’s means as assessed exceed the allowable sum of $1,040. [More…]
In fact, Australia-Japan trade, on a per head of population basis, works out at about $150 a year for each man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
I am sure that no man or woman in rural Australia would agree with that sort of opinion. [More…]
Robinson, and done its best to discredit the opinions and motives of the first and the only woman member of the Commission, Mrs Hylda Rolfe, who withdrew from the original inquiry on conscientious grounds. [More…]
A pension shall not be granted to a widow, being a deserted wife or a woman whose marriage has been dissolved and who has not remarried, unless she has taken such action as the Director-General considers reasonable to obtain maintenance from her husband or former husband. [More…]
The higher $40 benefit is payable to an age, invalid or widow pensioner, including a woman in receipt of supporting mother’s benefit, liable for the funeral costs of a spouse, a child or another pensioner. [More…]
A woman who wanted an urgent operation in Sydney was unable to get to Sydney. [More…]
I think the National Shopping Basket Survey was a most comprehensive guide to the ordinary consumer, normally the woman of the house who does the shopping each week or to some men of the house who like to keep their hand in and keep their eye on prices too. [More…]
These are the sort of funeral benefits schemes which people who are now of an age when they are really worrying about who will bury them enter into: They pay out $60 on the death of a male, $30 for the death of a wife- obviously, it costs less to bury a woman than it does a man- and $30 on the death of an unmarried female. [More…]
What should be taken into account is the position of the individual woman, the number of dependents she has and her ability to support herself. [More…]
Are there not cases in which a woman otherwise entitled to a supporting mothers benefit would not get it because she did not take the requirement enforcement action as no legal aid was available to her? [More…]
Finally, under such circumstances, what recourse does such a woman have to social security entitlements that she may well need? [More…]
-I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate whether he has seen reports that an Aborigine convicted in the South Australian Supreme Court for killing a woman has been handed back to his tribe for tribal law and justice to be applied for his misdeed. [More…]
By way of preface to my question to the Minister for Social Security, I point out that I have had referred to me the case of a woman who was concerned with home duties for 1 3 years and who, being advised that she could qualify as a librarian by doing the higher school certificate under the women’s retraining scheme, was transferred to the National Employment and Training scheme when the women ‘s retraining scheme was transferred to NEAT. [More…]
I am not clear from the points made in the question whether the woman is in receipt of a benefit or payment from my department. [More…]
Why I asked whether the woman was in receipt of a benefit from my department was to establish the fact in the honourable senator’s mind that if she had been in receipt of that payment she would have in addition to that benefit received the NEAT training allowance. [More…]
-Has the Minister representing the Minister for Health seen the report of the State Minister for Health in Tasmania, who is indulging in a campaign to create feelings of panic in the citizens of that State by suggesting that everyone could be paying up to $1,000 a year for health insurance and that hospital fees for a woman having a baby will cost her $500, if the State agrees with the new proposals? [More…]
Another aspect which took the political commentators a little while to recognise- it was recognised after a couple of days- is that the Government has given some measure of recognition to the role of the woman in the one-income family where there are 2 parents. [More…]
Since family allowances are paid to the woman, it is income for her. [More…]
I am glad that the Government did not just chose to increase the dependant’s allowance but to give some recognition to the meaningful role played by the woman in this situation by introducing the family allowances system. [More…]
People who insure privately, or who pay a premium to Medibank or who are eligible for exemption as a repatriation beneficiary or serviceman or woman will lodge a certificate from the body concerned with their tax returns. [More…]
It relates to a woman who has been sacked because of her inability to work following an accident. [More…]
The woman is the family breadwinner and she applied for sickness benefits. [More…]
Let me assure Sentor Baume that whether a woman stays at home or goes out to work, she is still discriminated against under the existing taxation system, as I have just found out. [More…]
How does the Minister honestly believe that this young woman who is about to give birth will cater adequately for the needs of her baby under those circumstances? [More…]
At a women’s centre in Hobart the words ‘A Family is Woman’s Bondage’ depict this attitude better than I can describe it. [More…]
I am one of those who say that a woman, like a man, has a right to lead her own life. [More…]
I have pointed out that, by offering $8.50 to a woman with 2 children and a little more to a woman with 3 children, the Government really is not offering something comparable to a wage. [More…]
If we are to look for some sort of financial recognition of the productivity of the woman in the home, I hope that it would measure something more than $8.50 for the work involved in caring for 2 children. [More…]
According to the International Labour Office Report vI (I) 1964 (Women Workers in a Changing World) … No woman should be forced by economic circumstance to work outside her home . [More…]
No woman should be forced by economic circumstances to work outside her home . [More…]
In his life he was assisted at all times by his wife, Lady Casey- a remarkable woman in her own right. [More…]
The noble Lord- I hope honourable senators will not shrink when I use that phrase with which Lord Casey would be addressed in a House in which he sat in London- had the companionship of a great and notable woman, Lady Casey, who survives him. [More…]
Lady Casey is an artist of quality, a writer of sense and style, an historian of competence and a woman of great style in her cast of mind. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate whether he has seen reports that an Aboriginal convicted in the South Australian Supreme Court for killing a woman has been handed back to his tribe for tribal law and justice to be applied for his misdeed. [More…]
Sydney Williams, an Aboriginal, was tried in the Supreme Court of South Australia on charges arising out of the death of an Aboriginal woman. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether he had seen reports that an Aboriginal convicted in the South Australian Supreme Court for killing a woman had been handed back to his tribe for tribal law and justice to be applied for bis misdeed. [More…]
Sydney Williams, an Aboriginal, was tried in the Supreme Court of South Australia on charges arising out of the death of an Aboriginal woman. [More…]
What is significant about this Budget is that it is probably the first Budget presented outside post-coup Chile in which the ideology of the woman who is mis-described as a philosopher, Miss Ayn Rand, and Professor Friedman of the University of Chicago, is, in fact, being applied. [More…]
Malcolm Fraser offered the job to two other men who wouldnt or couldnt take it; and he didnt offer it to any woman. [More…]
I should like to place again on record that I believe that my colleagues have destroyed the claims of honourable senators opposite that this Liberal and National Country Party Government was capable of managing the economy of this great country to the extent where every Australian man, woman and child would have a fair share of the wealth of the nation; that this Government would create full employment; and that it would cure inflation. [More…]
That is about $100 each year for each man, woman and child. [More…]
A woman, eligible as a taxpayer for free Medibank cover, is denied it because she is married. [More…]
But the woman or man who is instituting a divorce case is under no extra obligation to provide for the legal aid of the community. [More…]
-Will the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs assure the Senate that Sandra Birch, the Western Australian woman who is appealing against a 6-year gaol sentence in Penang, Malaysia, is receiving the best possible assistance and protection from the Australian High Commission in Malaysia? [More…]
The basic requirements are that a claimant for age pension lived 30 years in Australia and left the country after reaching 60 years of age in the case of a man or 55 in the case of a woman. [More…]
How can a woman possibly care for her own children in a home atmosphere if the State Housing Commission refuses to give her a home unless she has the children with her and the Department for Community Welfare will not let her children go from State institutions until she can prove that she has a home? [More…]
My reply was: ‘Well, thank God for that, because no man is worth two penn’orth of gin unless he has a good woman beside him and now he has decided to marry, and to marry you, there is no limit to the future to which he can aspire and you, as his wife, will accompany him. ‘ [More…]
She is a woman of great courage and ability. [More…]
The propaganda material depicts a cartoon of a naked woman with a foetus attached to her ankle by an umbilical cord in the form of a ball and chain. [More…]
This person has recently married a woman also a dwarf. [More…]
The woman who had the child to me is Agnes Woten and she has now married Albert Woten. [More…]
I was in gaol some years ago but only for fighting with my woman. [More…]
I was living there with my woman and my two children. [More…]
My woman is also there and we still have a relationship going. [More…]
I think this changed allowance is rather wonderful for the Australian woman. [More…]
It is the sort of organisation which has written on its walls, ‘Lesbianism is beautiful’, and ‘The family is woman’s bondage’. [More…]
I refer the Minister to his own department or the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations and suggest that he find out what are the responsibilities of a man or woman in that department on a salary of $30,000. [More…]
As I understand the situation, the woman concerned is most adamant that she does not want to live here permanently; she wants to live here only temporarily. [More…]
Does the Minister agree that the present provision for one woman on the Commission is outdated and discriminatory and does not reflect current attitudes to women in positions of influence? [More…]
Yet we get in this place a woman who has become an authorityshe will not keep quiet- on things she knows nothing about and she holds the whole Party up to ridicule. [More…]
The relatives of a deceased woman from the western suburbs of Sydney may want to dispose of her estate. [More…]
Girls and woman have been ignored in the area of technical education. [More…]
a woman who, throughout the period of three years immediately before the date of the death of the employee, although not legally married to him, lived with him as his wife on a permanent and bona fide domestic basis, [More…]
‘Dependant’ is defined much more clearly in the South Australian Workmen’s Compensation Act 1971-1973 which states that the term ‘wife of a workman’ includes a woman who is not married to the workman but who is living with the workman on a permanent basis as his de facto wife. [More…]
As to the matter raised by Senator Donald Cameron in regard to the definition of dependant’ in respect of a woman who is not married but is living with the employee on a permanent basis, I inform him that there has been no change in the Act with regard to that. [More…]
I will have a look at that section of the Act and at the way in which a woman is able to establish dependency and ascertain whether some amendment should be made to bring the legislation into line with the Social Services Act or any other Commonwealth Act which may be appropriate, in the interests of consistency. [More…]
They choose to overlook what that means in real terms to the working man and woman- the average Australian citizen. [More…]
The other consideration that I think has to be given in relation to these amendments is to those completely dependent children- I talk of them as children only in the sense that they are born to a particular marriage- whom we find frequently in our society, such as a man or a woman, sometimes in middle age, who has devoted his or her entire life to looking after aged and infirm parents. [More…]
For the benefit of those honourable senators who happen to be of the opposite sex to me, let me assure them that it is not easy at any time, under any circumstances, for a woman to have a loan made available to her. [More…]
These are the people whose cause I am espousing- the little man, the ordinary humble citizen- and when I say man, you can interpose woman wherever applicable. [More…]
Dr Cass, when debating this legislation in the other place last week, stated that when he was Minister for the Media by the effluxion of time the Tasmanian representative on the Commission retired and he implied that he had to appoint a Victorian woman because he could not find a suitable candidate in Tasmania. [More…]
I remind the Senate that when the original legislation was drawn up in 1942- the year in which I was born- it provided for one woman commissioner. [More…]
It may not have been unreasonable at that stage to provide specifically for representation by a woman on the Commission. [More…]
I hope that during my lifetime, and partly as a result of the feminist movement, to which I have devoted a lot of my energies and will continue to do so, we will find that we have passed the stage where unless we provide legislatively for the appointment of a woman no woman will be appointed. [More…]
What positive steps can a woman take when confronted with this form of economic discrimination, until legislation is introduced. [More…]
For so long it has been said- perhaps it still applies in some of the lower echelons of the Australian Public Service- that the Australian woman cannot make progress when she is in competition with the Australian male. [More…]
As I have said before, it is my wish to see the Australian woman participate more in public life. [More…]
Mr S. Elgood 18 February 1977: Pregnant woman in distress and was taken from the Gallery by ner husband. [More…]
But we have a problem about the distress and, as responsible members of Parliament we should have the concern of a pregnant woman uppermost in our minds. [More…]
Recently an elderly Aboriginal woman of some standing in her community was evicted from her State Housing Commission controlled home without any permanent, alternative accommodation being made available. [More…]
To give the Prime Minister the power to take the Senate to an election at any time would be a divisive and intimidatory tool in the hands of whatever man or woman might hold that office in the future. [More…]
This principle does not apply where a claimant left the country before 8 May 1973, had lived for 30 years or more in Australia, was aged 60 years or more (55 in the case of a woman) at the time of leaving Australia and is in special need of financial assistance; a pension may be granted in these circumstances. [More…]
I suggest that a strong case can be made for not penalising a woman who chooses to devote her time exclusively to her vocation and role in society as a wife and mother. [More…]
I now urge it to investigate the payment of an allowance to the woman who chooses to devote all of her time to her vocation of wife and mother, particularly in cases where the family is in straitened economic circumstances. [More…]
But, by the same token, I do not believe that any man or woman is entitled to sit down and receive a benefit from the taxpayer without making some effort to repay the people who are making the money available. [More…]
She is an educated woman. [More…]
The reply I received from that woman was symbolic of the attitude of the Armstrong family. [More…]
On 23 February I asked a question regarding the eviction of an Aboriginal woman from her Victorian Housing Commission home in Morwell and asked what the Minister intended to do about future accommodation for her. [More…]
The Minister has since advised me that the woman was immediately provided with alternative accommodation at the Lionel Rose Centre in Morwell on an indefinite basis. [More…]
As this woman had kept her house well, I ask again: [More…]
A woman migrant or a multilingual migrant in such a position would solve a lot of problems. [More…]
I say challenging because she is an example of a very courageous woman who is conscientious and dedicated. [More…]
As I have said before, she is a most dedicated and a most courageous woman. [More…]
I believe it ill befits people to take it out on a woman. [More…]
We know how much a woman in such circumstances needs understanding and support. [More…]
Having finished that little outburst, I must say that I believe that the speech which was placed in the hands of Her Majesty on Tuesday last to read when opening the Parliament was one of the most insulting speeches that could ever have been handed to a monarch or to a woman of her intelligence. [More…]
A woman who is left to care for her children has any number of avenues to turn to for assistancenot necessarily financial assistance, but emotional assistance. [More…]
If a woman goes to a community welfare department or the Department of Social Security, she is told of the pensions to which she is entitled not only for herself but also for her dependent children. [More…]
Senators Kilgariff and Tehan talked of the woman’s place being in the home and especially the woman’s place in the home as a wife and mother in times of unemployment. [More…]
The Henderson report showed that there were 131 700 fatherless families in Australia- families where the woman brings in the money. [More…]
Again may I say that it is a woman’s decision whether or not she has an abortion, and I will be damned if the women of Australia are going to put themselves and their families at risk to provide this vast number of Australians who are going to people this country, including the far north. [More…]
For Senator Kilgariff’s benefit, and for the benefit of Senator Harradine, may I say that no woman has an abortion lightly, but I do not need Senator Kilgariff or Senator Harradine to keep my conscience about whether or not I will have an abortion. [More…]
Senator Harradine said that he knows how a woman feels when she is unwillingly pregnant after wanted or unwanted intercourse. [More…]
Senator Harradine does not know how a woman feels in that situation, nor does he know the misery she feels when she finds herself pregnant and has to cope with the shame, the poverty, the loneliness, the inability to cope with the child or children that she may bear. [More…]
A woman who does not look very coloured was working picking pears. [More…]
1957- Woman’s Day Competition. [More…]
Most Australians have never met an Aboriginal man, woman or child; they only comprise 1 per cent of the population. [More…]
I ask the Minister: Cannot the Australian Government at least lay a wreath on her grave, if not make a contribution towards giving a decent grave to this woman who left Australia a better place than she found it? [More…]
However, hardly a day goes by when most Australians would not have their attention drawn to this woman because her profile is depicted on the Australian $5 note. [More…]
Perhaps that is a better way to commemorate this woman than erecting some marble 12 000 miles away which really has no significance in bringing to the attention of Australians all the time the great working career of this very famous Australian woman. [More…]
Part of the results were as follows: In response to the proposition that it should be legal for a woman to have an abortion if she wants one, 68 per cent of respondents said that they agreed with that statement; 62 per cent of respondents said that they agreed with the proposition that abortion should be allowed to prevent unwanted children from being born.

While the size of the sample was relatively small, the survey gave a clear indication of the relatively liberal attitudes of the community in the Australian Capital Territory to a woman’s freedom of choice as to whether or not she will have an abortion. [More…]
In making such a judgment, the environment of the woman was to be taken into account. [More…]
On many occasions the women did not see another white woman for perhaps 6 months or a year, but at least they had friends among the Aboriginal people. [More…]
We know from her work that she is a most intelligent young woman. [More…]
A story is told about a Polish immigrant woman living in the city of Chicago in the 1 930s. [More…]
The work which she started was carried on by one of her close colleagues, Beryl Edmonds, a woman from a mission who not only spoke the language fluently but also had a deep understanding of the culture of the people in that area. [More…]
I met a woman who was a young girl when the Australians were there. [More…]
-Can the Minister for Social Security advise whether there is a woman on the Social Security Appeals Tribunal in each Territory or State except Queensland? [More…]
If so, has the Minister considered, or will she consider, the appointment of a woman to the Appeals Tribunal in that State? [More…]
If there is currently no vacancy on the Appeals Tribunal in Queensland, will the Minister consider the appointment of a woman when there is a vacancy in the future? [More…]
I am not able to say whether in every State except Queensland there is a woman on the Social Security Appeals Tribunal. [More…]
But implicit in the question was whether I would consider the appointment of a woman. [More…]
It is to be a place where any man or woman can go. [More…]
It is a place where any man or woman can go to express opposition to any organisation rule or to any industrial action being taken by the union. [More…]
It is a most distressing letter and it shows the mental agony through which that young woman is apparently going. [More…]
I see that a woman in Sydney and a man in Whyalla in South Australia have been charged with the murder of a 3-year-old child. [More…]
Is it a fact that the Commonwealth Employment Service pays the unemployment benefit to the husband of a claimant if the claimant is a married woman instead of to the claimant herself? [More…]
It has fought long and assiduously to improve the conditions of the average working man and woman. [More…]
How does the current policy of the Department of Social Security ensure that in the case of a woman who shares a house with a male with whom she does not have a de facto relationship and from whom she receives no financial support retains her eligibility to receive a pension. [More…]
In the circumstances you mention where a woman shares a house with a man but does not have a de factor marriage relationship with him, and she receives no financial support, her eligibility to receive a pension is not affected. [More…]
At present it consists of a Sergeant and a Woman Police Officer but it is expected to be re-established to its former strength (6 personnel) by the end of 1977. [More…]
It just shows what a hard-hearted woman she is. [More…]
The answer came from a Canberra woman who phoned the telephone number referred to by the Health Commission authorities as being the number of the Women’s Centre Incorporated. [More…]
After a short delay the woman who answered the phone originally said that she had the correct number. [More…]
The Canberra woman then proceeded to ask for information on how to obtain an abortion. [More…]
This statement caused great concern to every man and woman who works in the railways in South Australia. [More…]
I have had drawn to my attention the case of a woman living at Mount Gambier who had the necessary form forwarded to her during the school vacation this year when her eldest child turned 16 years of age. [More…]
Here is a woman with 4 children still waiting to receive that family allowance which she had been receiving for her eldest child. [More…]
As Senator Donald Cameron pointed out to me, this woman would not even be receiving a student allowance for this child whilst this matter is being held up. [More…]
The married migrant woman in industry is trebly disadvantaged. [More…]
Throughout the time I knew Edgar Prowse, he was supported by a wonderful woman in his wife, Lucy. [More…]

I go to the Portuguese community and I find out how a Portuguese woman domestic working in a motel tries to make ends meet. [More…]
The company applied for a special work project to employ 14 men for 12 weeks on the preparation of building sites on the Mallee and the employment of one woman for 12 weeks’ cleaning. [More…]
Two hundred thousand bombs of the sort that devastated Nagasaki could be made from that material and it could produce the sort of plutonium that is 800 times more than the amount needed to kill every man, woman and child on this planet. [More…]
As there is a mother and three hungry children in South Australia who have not had a feed since June, will the Minister hasten a final decision on this question before the woman is forced to ply for hire on the streets? [More…]
At present the Social Services Act provides that a married woman is not entitled to sickness benefit if it is reasonably possible for her husband to maintain her. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
A campaign has been going on in South Australia in support of this woman for some time. [More…]
Mrs Seed is a very sick woman being treated currently at the Hillcrest Psychiatric Hospital near Adelaide. [More…]
Someone from Mr Nicholls’ office rang the Minister’s office to inform him that the woman had committed suicide as a result of her depressed state and of her being deprived of her son’s company. [More…]
Despite the fact that the woman’s life could possibly have been saved if she had been reunited with her son, the son does not meet the trade requirements. [More…]
Are we so lacking in compassion in Australia that, even if there were a possibility of the son being unemployed and having to receive social service benefits, we cannot afford to give some assistance to a woman who is in a suicidal state as a result of the action of the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs? [More…]
The woman suffered a depressed state in a strange land. [More…]
I ask the Minister: What is the situation facing a woman on supporting mother’s benefit when she approaches the Commonwealth Employment Service to register as unemployed for the purpose of getting assistance to find employment? [More…]
So we have this hidden area where the income of a married woman may be needed for a particular life style but she is denied the right to receive unemployment benefit because she happens to be a female. [More…]
They were paid a very substantial amount, $97.50 a week, which is more or less equivalent to what a woman worker would have been earning in a factory at that time. [More…]
During the Labor Administration, if a migrant woman worker with a lot of family commitments or mortgage commitments lost her job, she could move into a training scheme and earn much the same sort of income from that training scheme. [More…]
In comes the person who has another job or in comes the woman who does not need a job. [More…]
I am talking about the woman who wants something to do because she has idle time. [More…]
In my view the deduction under this provision should be such that there is no financial inducement for a married woman to seek employment at low rates. [More…]
A deduction could be made sufficiently worthwhile to induce an unskilled married woman to stay out of the work force. [More…]
I urge this for the sake of enabling a woman who wants to stay at home to bring up her kids, to feel proud to adopt that work. [More…]
The company applied for a special work project to employ 14 men for 12 weeks on the preparation of building sites on the Mallee and the employment of one woman for 12 weeks cleaning. [More…]
If I can do that and if every man and woman in this country who is employed would get back to doing a day’s work for a day’s pay and producing properly, we could get all the other people back to work. [More…]
The Maryborough District Development Board secretary/ manager, Alderman Jurss said that the Commonwealth’s offer was disappointingly low, that the Government had offered less than $1 a head for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government: In view of the fact that this woman does not rate very highly with a very great proportion of people, particularly the women, of Australia- [More…]
It is a grave injustice to a very fine woman. [More…]
Some other woman must have done so. [More…]
If a woman is called a com because she demands female toilet facilities it just shows how perverted industry has become. [More…]
The personnel officer of W. D. and H. O. Wills- I hope he is listening- said that every Latin American woman was flighty. [More…]
That was the woman’s role. [More…]
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, [More…]
Off the top of my head I always say that if a couple are in Australia and the woman has a child while she is here, that does not make the offspring an Australian citizen. [More…]
I think she is a very nice woman and a great conversationalist. [More…]
I deplore any politician in Australia describing not only this beautiful lady who appears to be an intelligent woman who expresses - [More…]
Because she had the temerity to ask at a meeting in Blackall whether he regarded all people who are antiuranium mining as communists and socialists, he referred to Mrs Bonner- as she is known now- a married woman, as a crow. [More…]
One of the most degrading descriptions that can be levelled is to call a woman a crow, meaning a woman of doubtful virtue and easy morals. [More…]
But when a Premier vents his spleen upon a defenceless woman of the character and reputation of this former Miss Australia we are indeed getting to the bottom of the barrel in politics in that State. [More…]
It is entirely irrelevant whether the woman involved in that incident was a former Miss Australia. [More…]
Whether the woman concerned was Mrs Fred Bloggs from down the corner or someone who lives 150 miles from Brisbane and who is from fairly poor circumstances makes not the slightest bit of difference to the fact that the Queensland Premier had the audacity and temerity to call a woman, irrespective of whether she was an Australian, a crow. [More…]
Mrs Helen Bonner, the woman concerned, was certainly shocked by it. [More…]
At present the Social Services Act provides that a married woman is not entitled to sickness benefit if it is reasonably possible for her husband to maintain her. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for a sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for a sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
However, that means that, whereas formerly a married woman who became sick and lost her job was expected to be supported by her husband, the same situation will apply. [More…]
So, in fact there is no change in the circumstance of a woman who loses her job through sickness and wishes to apply for sickness benefit. [More…]
I think if we look at the way in which the change has been made, and that is to test the family income, I think we could agree with some of the claims made by Senator Ryan in her speechthat there is no real difference in the way in which a woman will be tested for the sickness benefit. [More…]
I can only say that the eligibility requirements for a married woman will not change except that eligibility will be subject to a family income test. [More…]
I am honoured to be the first senator to represent the Australian Democrats and to be the first woman to do so. [More…]
However, it is not my intention to restrict myself to so-called women’s issues or to put only the woman’s point of view, whatever that is. [More…]
No charges have been made against Peter John Browne; nor have any charges been made against a woman who in 1961 was Esther Grace Stevens and is now Mrs Crichton-Brown, and who was granted 2,000 shares in the company at the same time; or against Norma Rosa Stevens, her mother, who was allotted 2,000 shares in the company at the same time; or Malcolm Scott Holdings Pty Ltd, the family investment company of ex-Liberal Party Senator Malcolm Scott, which was granted 1,000 shares in the company at that time. [More…]
Therefore, I make the point that, if Australia did that in relation to refugees from Chile, its actions do not square up with what is stated in the letter from the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Durack, in which he said, in effect, that this woman I am talking about is an Argentinian national. [More…]
Ms Williams is a highly sensitive woman. [More…]
They consider it divisive and rather silly and believe that there is an idiotic fringe which indulges in it and that every time we have a debate on a subject some silly woman has to stand up and say where women stand. [More…]
Another advertisement showed a woman with two children and a spiel that indicated that with the Liberals’ child endowment increases she would be much better off. [More…]
In fact, the average woman with two dependent children would be considerably worse off financially because of the removal of the tax concessions. [More…]
The family has been called the primordial unit of society: Man, woman and their offspring- the greatest influence in all our lives, for good or evil; the source of our hereditary characteristics; and the first model on which our behaviour patterns are built. [More…]
Studies of women in the work force in several countries show that, although a woman is fully employed outside her home, she still does some 70 per cent of the child and home care. [More…]
The economy should be geared to give a genuine freedom of choice to a married woman to tend a machine, work in a factory or stay at home and care for her husband and children. [More…]
I understand that the economic value of what a married woman produces in an office or factory is measured in the gross national product whereas the economic value of her work in the home is not. [More…]
Generally, a man surfers more than a woman from losing a job. [More…]
While the man’s spirit is dejected by the private fear that he is a failure, the woman has the stability to think out the practical problems. [More…]
The woman may be pouring her emotional energy into supporting her husband but who is supporting her? [More…]
has been stopped before it started because one woman, 10 teachers and an anonymous ‘Independent committee ‘of faceless people decided that way. [More…]
She was a youngish woman, in her 30s, very intelligent and very much involved in the community. [More…]
This woman told me that she had been horrified by the content of two programs which had been broadcast as part of a series. [More…]
The first of the two programs to which this woman objected was on homosexuality. [More…]
I suggest that within that unit there is no more important person than the woman, the mother or whatever she is called. [More…]
I believe she is the first woman ever to operate in Australia’s interest in the Antarctic. [More…]
I want to raise the case of a woman who has had two strokes, one eight years ago and one four years ago. [More…]
The doctor who attended this woman said she would not walk again. [More…]
The woman, much to her credit, persevered and overcame a lot of the disability caused by the stroke. [More…]
If I may use perhaps what is an unparliamentary phrase, to give some idea of the sheer guts of the woman, she was prepared for three years to learn to crawl, and she spent that time getting back her facilities. [More…]
The woman had the choice of either going into a nursing home where she would be kept at public expense for the rest of her life or struggling to resume her place in a home and in the community. [More…]
The woman does not want to be called an invalid. [More…]
I ask the Treasurer whether he could look favourably at this case to see what can be done for a rather wonderful woman. [More…]
It is difficult and perhaps inappropriate to compare the needs of one group against the needs of another, but I suggest that the needs of the group represented by this woman are no less than the needs of those people who at present are given sales tax exemption- those people totally and permanently incapacitated, in gainful employment and so on. [More…]
having sexual intercourse with a woman, not one ‘s wife, without her consent. [More…]
The situation following the Morgan case is that even if a woman can prove that she did not consent to the act, the crime of rape is not necessarily proved. [More…]
I repeat that there was no question that the woman had indicated consent; her husband had said that she was consenting and, despite her words and actions to the contrary, the convicted men claimed that they had grounds for believing that she was consenting. [More…]
There is, of course, a universal assumption that members of Parliament are not women; so some attendants have made that assumption and when a woman has attempted to enter the chamber they have not bothered to check their memories to find out whether she does have rightful access to that chamber. [More…]
I have always understood that whilst it is interesting for a woman to have a past, it is more interesting for a man to have a future. [More…]
In fact, a woman union official in Melbourne has provided me with material that she collected from the Centre both before and after Mr Ellicott ‘s visit. [More…]
If it had been equal pay for equal work, a woman would almost have to be a hermaphrodite to obtain equal pay. [More…]
In other words, a woman would have been forced to perform the same work under the same conditions, lifting the same weights and so on. [More…]
Adelaide Advertiser stating complaints by a woman who had to wait four hours to fill out an ordinary form and other complaints about the behaviour of staff at the office of the Department of Social Security. [More…]
Their wives and children tended to live in capital cities but those men did not feel that they should be denied the pleasure of having a woman to live with. [More…]
So they took an Aboriginal woman to bed and they produced children. [More…]
PERTH- A woman refugee from Vietnam flew into Australia recently with diamonds worth about $ 100,000 hidden inside her body. [More…]
A newspaper report said that the woman had forced the diamonds into her uterus before fleeing from Vietnam. [More…]
The diamonds were discovered when doctors carried out routine medical checks on the woman after she arrived at Graylands Hostel in Perth. [More…]
Doctors initially thought that the lump in her uterus was a fibroid growth, but the woman told them about the diamonds. [More…]
According to the newspaper report, the woman ‘s husband said through an interpreter at the hostel that they had sold their three-storey house and building business and converted the money to gold leaf and diamonds. [More…]
The sister in charge at the hospital said last night that the woman was not at the hospital. [More…]
Asked whether the Vietnamese woman had had the diamonds in her body, she said ‘She did have them ‘. [More…]
If a woman has been living with her husband and has been contributing to the fund for a considerable number of years, at the Commissioner’s discretion this provision could apply in the same way as it does to the separated spouse and the de facto relationship. [More…]
What the judge says is: ‘Really, Joe Blow, as a superannuate you ought to be paying this woman $120 a week’. [More…]
Senator Walters says that that woman should be still getting his superannuation payments. [More…]
The point is that the Superannuation Act makes no provision whatever for any payment to a divorced wife upon the death of her ex-husband contributor- only for payments to a legal wife, such as the woman whom the deceased remarried, or to a de facto wife. [More…]
The point is that the Superannuation Act makes no provision whatever for any payment to a divorced wife upon the death of her ex-husband contributoronly for payments to a legal wife, such as the woman whom the deceased remarried, or to a de facto wife. [More…]
The Centre was set up with the intention of informing unions about specific problems facing women in the work force; to encourage women to join their appropriate union; to educate women about trade unions and to encourage them to participate in union activity and to seek decision-making positions within the unions; to provide information and support for women who have problems which affect their work or ability to get work; to bring a grass-roots woman’s view of the effect of government policies and legislation to the attention of government Ministers and departments. [More…]
The most recent example of this type of assistance was in a Full Bench hearing within the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in regard to a matter concerning the Municipal Officers Association of Australia and Rockhampton Council, which had dismissed a woman because she married. [More…]
No woman in this community takes lightly a decision to have an abortion. [More…]
If a woman in distress and under pressure facing abortion rings the Centre for advice, she not only gets information about where to find a counselling service but also she is directed to the Women’s Action Alliance which gives information and assistance in some ways to women who do not want abortions and advises women against abortions. [More…]
I also take strong exception to the accusation that I have no knowledge of the trials and sometimes the psychological distress which confront a woman with an unwanted pregnancy. [More…]
The case involves a young woman named Kathryn McMillan who now lives at Geeveston in Tasmania. [More…]
She was employed by the local council in street cleaning activities, and she received employment on a fishing boat, which is a rather unusual type of employment for a woman but not that unusual. [More…]
I should add that my attention was drawn to this matter by a Canberra woman who was listening to 2XX at breakfast time yesterday with her young daughters. [More…]
This woman was so incensed with the record that she has now lodged a formal complaint with the police and the broadcasting authorities. [More…]
Yet a few nights ago we heard a woman from Darwin saying that the Aborigines for whom the Federal Government was responsible lived under disgraceful conditions and that their conditions were not nearly as good as those of the Aborigines in Queensland. [More…]
I pointed out that my attention was drawn to this incident by a Canberra woman who had been listening to 2XX with her young daughters at breakfast time. [More…]
The management’s action would appear to confirm the objections of the woman who first raised the matter with me. [More…]
But, having been alerted about station 2XX by the woman who approached me with great concern about the song which 2XX has now banned, I arranged for the station to be listened to more closely to determine the type of education material which it was broadcasting. [More…]
On the very day that the Canberra Times carried the report about what I had said in the Senate and also Ms McGrath’s disclaimer about 2XX’s so-called firm policy, the weekly 2XX program for homosexuals carried an interview with a woman who runs a so-called counselling agency in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra and who charges a membership fee of $250 for 2 years involvement with the agency. [More…]
The woman ‘s reply is as follows: [More…]
If I were a bank manager I would be very concerned that such introductions were being arranged and, similarly, being a parent I am concerned that this woman is prepared to make the introductions that she has admitted to on 2XX. [More…]
I have been in touch with a woman in South Australia who has taken a very keen interest in this matter. [More…]
The suggestion that there is a blanket withdrawal of pension because a woman is living at the same address as a male could not be substantiated on any of the information I have. [More…]
There is a particular case of a woman named Grace Gorman, a temporary employee, who has been sacked after four years employment in the ABC with no rights of appeal even though she has contributed to the superannuation fund during this time. [More…]
A woman here today is asking ‘Why was it done?’. [More…]
Of course it is reasonable for a man or woman, during the course of his or her working life to regard as one of the incentives for him or her to work the ability to accumulate some money to hand on to his or her children knowing that if the children fall upon adversity some time later on in life he or she will have left them some money to tide them over. [More…]
The members of that organisation suddenly got it into their heads that the little woman should get it all without any government interference, without any death duty or estate duty being payable. [More…]
One woman caller said if she had been Mr Bonner she would have smashed Mr Hinze between the eyes. [More…]
It was only in 1 969 that the first woman was appointed to the Hansard staff. [More…]
Mrs Horner, a business woman, represents the general public. [More…]
6469 would transgress a woman’s right to the rebate available via medical health insurance. [More…]
As the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Withers) said, Senator Janine Haines is the only woman senator retiring. [More…]
I spoke to the proprietor of the company, an American woman, and she confirmed all that had been said. [More…]
This afternoon I received a phone call from the woman saying that the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs had said that the South Korean mechanic they had employed had to leave next week. [More…]
This woman is faced with a difficult situation. [More…]
The question of how freely an individual man or woman chooses knowingly a self-destructive lifestyle raises further issues. [More…]
6469 would transgress a woman ‘s right to the rebate available via medical health insurance. [More…]
That’s about $400 for every man, woman and child in the country. [More…]
However, in the case of the young woman the work cut out after a few short weeks, and she again reapplied for the unemployment benefit. [More…]
She was visited by a field officer of the Department of Social Security who alleged that the young woman was living in a de facto relationship and therefore was not entitled to the unemployment benefit. [More…]
Was this young woman supposed to go out on to the streets and prostitute herself to find a bed for the night? [More…]
The allegations that have been made against the Hobart shelter I believe point out that, the way the shelter is at the moment, it is the worst possible atmosphere to which any woman who has recently been abused could go. [More…]
When the young woman’s father approached her employer in a civil manner for some recompense for his daughter he was abused and thrown out and his daughter likewise was abused and her employment terminated. [More…]
This is a considerable amount of money for a woman who is already below the poverty line. [More…]
Of that 20,252, no fewer than 12,250 were held by Crichton-Browne, his brother, the woman who shortly afterwards became his wife and her mother. [More…]
Of the 20,252 original shares, 12,250 were held by Crichton-Browne and his relatives- by Crichton-Browne himself, his brother, the woman who is now his wife and that woman’s mother. [More…]
Senator Ryan ‘fights hard for a woman’s right to a job in time of high unemployment ‘. [More…]
I say that with some feeling because I am dealing at the moment with a family reunion case involving a woman of 8 1 years of age. [More…]
The years are not on her side, and as the weeks go by that woman may be precluded at the latter end of her life from being with her family. [More…]

When this Bill becomes law a woman will know, and everybody acquainted with her will know, that there is 5 awaiting her. [More…]
Further, it shows that single people to be disadvantaged will be less often the young and increasingly the 40-year-old woman clerk made redundant by automation and the 55-year-old widower affected by factories closing down. [More…]
However, I am talking about the woman who does not rely on social security because she has against her husband a court order from the Family Court of Australia. [More…]
I think I brought to the Minister’s attention once before the case of a woman in Adelaide who was refused a pension and who appealed to a social security appeals tribunal which had been set up under the Social Services Act. [More…]
It can be justifiably said that every woman who is having a baby should have an ultra-sound scan. [More…]
If these scans are given to every woman in Australia who is having a baby costs will increase considerably. [More…]
I doubt whether this woman, at 8 1 years of age, will be taking part in any street demonstration in Sydney, Brisbane or anywhere else. [More…]
It reminds me strongly of the story of the pregnant woman who dropped a pile of gramophone records, and it had no effect, effect, effect, effect. [More…]
The Menhennitt ruling is basically that an abortion can be lawfully carried out only if it is honestly believed on reasonable grounds that the procedure preserves a woman from serious danger to her life or to her physical or mental health which the continuance of the pregnancy would entail. [More…]
Here I maintain that the bounds of natural morality, the natural human right to proportionate self-defence, ought not to be exceeded; that is, if the life of the woman who is pregnant is threatened by the continuation of her pregnancy, she is entitled as a matter of natural law to the abortion. [More…]
7, namely, that there be provision for emergency treatment of a woman in case of some distress or for some medical cause during the termination procedure in the clinic, is to be carried into effect. [More…]
They argue that a woman has the right to do what she wants with her own body. [More…]
We have been told just to deal with the facts- after all it is a foetus and every woman should have the right to say whether she will continue with a pregnancy. [More…]
I believe that every woman has every right in the world to say whether she will become pregnant. [More…]
Some people argue that every woman has the right to say whether her baby can be destroyed just because it is not born. [More…]
They have bragged that every woman who goes into Preterm can have an abortion if she wants it. [More…]
Does it not follow from this characterisation of abortion in this way that we also characterise any woman who seeks an abortion as a murderer- a woman who otherwise might be innocent of any criminality at all? [More…]
She pleaded with me that just as no pro-abortionist should force anybody to have an abortion, what are the rights of the anti-abortionists to force a woman to carry a child against her wishes when there are legal alternatives? [More…]
I firmly believe that no woman ever takes an abortion lightly. [More…]
There are people who talk about the sanctity of life but then say that a woman’s life is threatened an abortion is reasonable. [More…]
At what stage is a woman’s life threatened? [More…]
Where are these campaigners when a woman does not believe that she has any life in front of her? [More…]
When they resort to having pimply-faced boys of 1 5 years of age standing outside hospitals and screaming at some anxious woman that she is murdering her child their morality is very much in question and they are finding the answers far too easy. [More…]
Under present procedures, as I understand the matter, this committee of six may not necessarily include a woman although it sometimes does; that women seeking termination are not allowed to put their cases personally to that committee but only through a doctor, and that terminations are carried out more or less in parallel with other hospital procedures using the same staff, who may or may not wish to be involved. [More…]
The other conflicting philosophy mentioned by Senator Button was the right of freedom of choice, the freedom of choice of a woman. [More…]
I recognise readily that a woman in circumstances of not wanting to have a child has a right to freedom of choice. [More…]
That a woman seeking a termination of pregnancy shall have the right to be accompanied by a friend or relative at the counselling session, but part of that session shall be with the woman alone. [More…]
16) That in the case of a woman under the age of ^seeking a termination of pregnancy, a parent or guardian should be present for part of the counselling session. [More…]
17) That in the case of a woman under the age of 16 the consent of a parent or guardian and that of the woman herself shall be required before the termination of pregnancy. [More…]
It can be justifiably said that every woman who is having a baby should have an ultra-sound scan. [More…]
If these scans are given to every woman in Australia who is having a baby costs will increase considerably. [More…]
We are simply saying that if a woman needs an abortion the facility should be there. [More…]
To me the most important consideration is whether a woman feels that she can have a child and give it the love, the affection and the financial assistance that it is going to need- the emotional support service right through its life. [More…]
If the woman determines that this is not the way she feels, she has every right to be able to go to a publicly recognised and well administered place where she can have an abortion without tremendous and exorbitant costs. [More…]
Those of us who do not adopt the same view as those liberals on this occasion do so on the basis that the decision of the woman- a painful and difficult decision, which it must be for so many women- is a decision which affects not only that woman alone. [More…]
The woman may have problems with the impending pregnancy and it may be that if she does not come out of it successfully, there will be an orphan. [More…]
I say respectfully that if my point of view prevails and Senator Ryan ‘s proposal is rejected, I will be just as vigilant as anyone else to uncover any genuine cases where for religious reasons a doctor has denied a woman the right to have an abortion. [More…]
It will mean that every woman in the Territory who wants a termination without exception will have to cross three barriers at least. [More…]
There is not a State which as a rule for all women insists upon the imposition of a terminations committee between a woman and the doctors who certify her to need the termination and the procedure itself. [More…]
Under the pertinent sections of the Crimes Act, sections 82 and 84, it is an offence to administer unlawfully to a woman any drug or to use unlawfully any instrument or other means to procure the miscarriage of a woman. [More…]
The relevant law in relation of unlawfulness is as followsFor the use of an instrument with intent to procure a miscarriage to be lawful the accused must have honestly believed on reasonable grounds that the act done by him was (a) necessary to preserve the woman from serious danger to her life or her physical or mental health (not being merely the normal dangers of pregnancy and childbirth), which the continuance of the pregnancy would entail; and (b) in circumstances not out of proportion to the danger to be averted. [More…]
Everyone assumes that the doctor is the only person who could have that defence because he would be the person with the knowledge of whether a pregnancy was damaging to a woman’s health or mental condition. [More…]
I imagine that an elderly matron, a qualified nurse or a midwife could be in this category especially if supported by the medical opinion of a specialist or a gynaecologist examining a woman that a pregnancy could be fatal to the mother. [More…]
Whosoever unlawfully administers to or causes to be taken by any woman, whether with child or not, any drug or noxious thing or unlawfully uses any instrument or other means with intent in any such case to procure a miscarriage shall be liable to penal servitude for ten years. [More…]
For the use of an instrument with intent to procure a miscarriage to be lawful the accused must have honestly believed on reasonable grounds that the act done by him was (a) necessary to preserve the woman from a serious danger to her life or physical or mental health (not being merely the normal dangers of pregnancy and childbirth), which the continuance of the pregnancy would entail; and (b) in the circumstances not out of proportion to the danger to be averted. [More…]
But that is not very pleasant for the woman who has been put to sleep and is woken up saying look you’re too late or you’re not pregnant or something like that. [More…]
But they are decisions that have been taken having regard to emotional stresses, the personal difficulties, the financial difficulties, the breakdown of marriage or any of the social causes which would prompt a woman to take that sort of step. [More…]
I believe it is about time that the Parliament as well as the Australian community respected the position of a woman who has decided to take that step. [More…]
I do not think it is the responsibility of an individual senator or a person belonging to the Festival of Light or the Right to Life Association to sit in judgment upon a woman who has to make that decision. [More…]
Each member is nominated by their respective Colleges, and one member is usually a woman. [More…]
I do so without any expert knowledge of the subject of whether a woman should be able to choose how her lifestyle is planned, whether she should continue with a pregnancy if she does not wish to do so and, above all, who should be the person to decide that issue. [More…]
If a woman desires an abortion, should the abortion be carried out in a public hospital or a private institution? [More…]
If it is a conscience vote for the whole of the community, surely we can take it further and say that it is a conscience vote of the person most concerned, the individual woman, and that is where it rests. [More…]
My position is clearly this: I will oppose any law or ordinance that comes into this place which limits a woman’s right to exercise her conscience in this very important matter. [More…]
The operation of the Menhennitt rule in New South Wales and Victoria requires that one doctor needs to say that, according to his conscience and medical judgment, the abortion is in the interests of the woman’s health. [More…]
The status quo is that a woman seeking an abortion first of all has to get two doctors to sign and put in a report to the Termination Committee. [More…]
The woman herself does not go before the Termination Committee which consists of five other doctors who have to agree that the termination oan take place. [More…]
The Terminations Committee provides no counselling to a woman. [More…]
It knew how many were unemployed right to the man, woman and child over 16 years of age. [More…]
I wonder whether the Health Department has considered the woman who is expecting a child. [More…]
I told Sergeant Jackson I had heard the same strong rumours, and in fact that a person at Papunya told me that a certain woman was made secretary-treasurer. [More…]
I gave the Sergeant the name of the woman who attempted to point out the state of the books. [More…]
It is also reported that the club has complied for an allowance for the woman manager’s wage as a trainer of Aborigines. [More…]
If we as a people cannot harness technological change and a shorter working week to satisfactorily employ every man, woman and child who wants a job, there is something wrong with us. [More…]
For the really genuine single unemployed man or woman, I honestly feel that $5 1 .45 a week is a very small amount. [More…]
Of the 1976-77 school leavers at Yuendumu not one young man or woman had found employment. [More…]
It is quite unfair to say that a woman who has been working in the Public Service for 12 te months may have equality of opportunity, may retain her job and have maternity leave, but a woman who has been working lite months and may have become pregnant in an unplanned way- as does still happen in this day and age - [More…]
I concede that a case is to be made out that if a person, be it a woman on maternity leave or any other employee, is not sick that person ought not to qualify for sick leave. [More…]
That is not the situation and, as a result of the lack of child care facilities and, now, the necessity for a woman to be really ill before she can use up her sick leave credits as well, we will see women returning to the work force, because they need to hold their jobs, before they are properly fit to do so, or have been able to make really satisfactory arrangements for their small babies. [More…]
Another provision is that the nine months unpaid leave that the woman who is on maternity leave takes will not count as service for superannuation purposes. [More…]
Thus, the woman’s career prospects will, in fact, be damaged by child bearing, which is something that the Government is supposed to wish not to happen. [More…]
A woman might return to work but then find that her baby is not doing well, or she is not doing well, and decide to take more of her unpaid leave. [More…]
Most African countries provide for maternity leave and protection against dismissal for the pregnant woman. [More…]
I would point out that maternity leave is not something that a woman can continue to abuse. [More…]
It seems to me that what is meant by abuse is that a woman may take leave which is meant to entitle her to return to work and then decides, for whatever reason, good or bad, not to return. [More…]
It can be abused only once because once a woman does not return to work she loses her permanency. [More…]
Another example is a woman who takes maternity leave, comes back to the Public Service and takes maternity leave again to have another child. [More…]
If a woman who sought employment in the Public Service was so many months pregnant, according to the Act there could be no discrimination and she was to be employed. [More…]
Senator Ryan said that it would be discriminatory not to include adopting parents in maternity leave provisions, Surely to heavens the reason for allowing six weeks leave to a woman prior to her having a baby is because she is carrying the baby. [More…]
It goes on to say that it is not necessary that only women should be eligible to care for the baby and that such a restriction serves only ‘to institutionalise the role of woman as child-rearer and to reinforce stereotyped views’. [More…]
-Surely to heavens we are not getting to the stage where we will give the husbands maternity leave so that immediately following the birth of a baby they can go home and look after the baby, whom they cannot feed, and then allow the woman to return to the work force. [More…]
Maternity leave will be a standardised 12 weeks paid leave and a delay in the birth of the baby will not entitle a woman to have additional leave. [More…]
I believe that they will encourage the woman who genuinely wants to stay in the Public Service and who wants also to raise a family. [More…]
I have every sympathy with her if she wishes to do this, but I have no sympathy with the woman who wants to accept maternity and resign immediately afterwards. [More…]
Another one depicted an Aboriginal woman carrying a child and showed that uranium was killing the child. [More…]
Section 18 defines the expression ‘dependent female’ to mean, for the purposes of age or invalid pensions, ‘a woman who is living with a man as his wife on a bona fide domestic basis although not legally married ‘. [More…]
I regret that the requirement for a married woman to produce her marriage certificate when applying for an Australian passport is sometimes construed as being onerous or discriminatory, and I cannot agree with such a claim. [More…]
The honourable senator will be pleased to know that in accordance with our policy on women ‘s affairs, provisions have existed since 1976 whereby a married woman may request the issue of an Australian passport in her maiden name. [More…]
The option therefore already exists for a passport to be issued to a woman in her maiden name or married name, and with the prefix Mrs, Miss, Ms or none at all if she so requests. [More…]
necessary to preserve the woman from a serious danger to her life or her physical or mental health (not being merely the normal dangers of pregnancy and childbirth) which the continuance of the pregnancy would entail; and [More…]
We have reached the stage where, if our welfare bill is close to $ 1 1 billion, it will represent about $800 for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
Although I would agree with Senator Grimes when he says that pensioners, the people who are aged, invalid and sick, are the most vulnerable, I also need to recognise the needs of families- the single income family with several small children, the family with commitments to purchasing a house to give security to the family and the family with a woman who is unable to work and who has commitments at home to her own children and a desire to be at home with them. [More…]
That is extraordinary logic for a woman with the Minister’s background. [More…]
So the amount of money which that woman has to stretch to feed her family has been, of course, reduced. [More…]
I might say that any woman who purchases an egg with an egg board stamp on it and finds it is not up to true quality has the right to go back to the retailer and to say that she had so many crook eggs in the carton. [More…]
This needs only to be stated for one to appreciate the disincentive that this represents to the ordinary working man or woman who may urgently need a dissolution. [More…]
There is every justification for a woman who wishes to work to seek a job and to hold down a job. [More…]
I believe that considerable recognition should be given to the woman who stays at home and looks after a family. [More…]
The film showed a young man and woman sitting together drinking wine. [More…]
I interjected to suggest that Senator Cavanagh ‘s example was the equivalent of the Donoghue and Stevenson case- one well known in the law- in which a woman brought on action for damages after she obtained a bottle of cordial with a snail in the bottle. [More…]
Either they go overseas to marry after a mail courtship or they go overseas for a holiday, meet a woman and marry her. [More…]
It denies him relationship which he has built up with this woman he has chosen to marry. [More…]
It is a decision for the man and for the woman involved. [More…]
If a British man marries other than a Commonwealth citizen- in other words, marries a woman from a country which does not contribute to our Commonwealth heads of government conferences- a visa will be issued within a few days. [More…]
A highly respected Aboriginal woman went into a shoe shop and waited for service from a shop assistant who was unoccupied. [More…]
She is a woman, and in this period when women’s rights are receiving a great deal of extra attention from the Parliament and from senators individually, we do not feel we want to criticise her because of who she is. [More…]
This woman complained that a Greek woman had been given very rough treatment by the Medibank office and had been reduced to tears. [More…]
I do not know whether this is a cultural factor, whether there is some loss of face or some shame, if a man or woman admits that he or she is unemployed, or whether it is because of the treatment given them at the office at which they would have to register. [More…]
That is a very different approach, a very different attitude, from the attitude of the Government members in this Parliament who, as the National Times survey printed on 17 March showed, remain coy, almost to the last man and woman amongst them as to whether they have any such arrangement. [More…]
At one time a woman who was a pacifist would come under suspicion if her son did not want to join the cadet corps. [More…]
In proposing that amendment the Labor movement is saying that it accepts the concept of a security system within the internal operation of Australia but that until such time as the matters that are suggested in our amendment become embodied in the legislation and become part and parcel of the charter by which the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation conducts its affairs any government, particularly this Government, will find it hard to sell the concept of an Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to the ordinary man and woman in the Australian community- men and women who believe that they have a right to say what they want to say, to do what they want to do and to think what they want to think without necessarily being subjected to the spying and Sprying that go on in what is or might become a police state. [More…]
I, like all of my colleagues who spoke earlier in this debate, am one of those who believe that the internal security of the nation should be fully and completely protected but that it is paramount that at all times the political rights and civil liberties of the ordinary man and woman in the Australian community have to be protected. [More…]
After reading that article and from conversations that I had with her I am convinced that she is a woman who did in fact understand the significance of what violence means to a child in its formative years. [More…]
Any man or woman who spends as many years in this Parliament as Frank Stewart spent will almost certainly occupy senior positions and positions of great responsibility. [More…]
A middle-aged woman who lives in a camp near Perth is one whose camp life goes back for decades: ‘I was taken to New Norcia (mission) when a child,’ she told us. [More…]
“You’re a sick woman, you shouldn’t be living there.” [More…]
This woman lives now in a settlement of old tents in the Perth outer suburb of Lockridge. [More…]
-With the greatest respect, Senator Walters, Mrs Strickland is a very intelligent woman. [More…]
One cannot just say: ‘Any woman’, like that. [More…]
I would prefer an intelligent woman. [More…]
He said he was looking for male items of clothing but there were no such articles to be found, he was very rude in his manner and I would like to know what rights a woman has against this sort of activity or is it correct for an officer of this type to walk into another’s home without a warrant. [More…]
People working in a sensitive area like social security should be aware that a woman by herself would be frightened. [More…]
Here is a woman with two dependent children. [More…]
The punch line in this application is that originally the woman in question had two sons and a daughter in Iran. [More…]
An advertisement in the 12 November 1949 issue was headed: ‘Ten Sound Reasons why Every Woman should Vote Liberal on December 10’. [More…]
They may have been turned away from two or three refuges or perhaps even four or five because when a woman is in a crisis situation all she is intent on doing is finding accommodation for herself and her family. [More…]
The situation with Emmaus became quite drastic because finding emergency accommodation in Western Australia for a woman with children who does not hold down a job is an extremely difficult proposition. [More…]
It that woman happens to be black let me assure the Senate that it is impossible. [More…]
If a woman happens to be in a refuge, happens to be black and happens to have a number of children, that woman becomes a long term resident. [More…]
Earlier this year I wrote to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Senator Chaney) when I learned that one woman with five children had occupied 158 bed days at the Emmaus refuge. [More…]
There is nothing as homeless as a woman with children who has decided in an area of crisis that she has to leave her home in the middle of the night. [More…]
Accommodation in general in Lismore is in a drastic plight, let alone for a single woman with children. [More…]
This letter was directed to the Chief Migration Officer well over 12 months ago, and asked that this woman be allowed what I might call a secondary transfer from Britain to Australia, where she has relatives. [More…]
This woman is welcome to approach Australian immigration officers and apply for migrant entry. [More…]
In 1977 a woman came to St Nicholas who felt that something else should be done for these children, that there was a spark there, a recognition. [More…]
The woman who wrote to me said: [More…]
Her son, being upset by the conditions of some of the wombats in a zoo in Malaysia and being a much more forthright person, said to this woman: [More…]
I can assure the Government that with this appeals provision it is going a long, long way along the road to having a thoroughly discontented, unhappy Public Service, where one man is against another, and one woman is against another, and where the main concentration will be on how to get the other guy rather than do your work efficiently. [More…]
Under this Bill, the Government will be able either to cut out maternity leave and therefore make it impossible for married women to have a career in the Public Service and at the same time have children or to redeploy or retire women because of their need for maternity leave or because they may need maternity leave, in much the same way as Ansett Airlines of Australia refused a woman the right to train as a pilot, even though she had all the qualifications, because she may need leave to have a baby and she may have a baby. [More…]
How can a woman be redeployed to another State or city and be expected to leave her husband or her children in the State or city in which she is employed at the moment? [More…]
I give the example of a man who has a wife and children to keep and who is declared ‘in excess’ and therefore is to be redeployed or, at worst, retrenched; and of a woman in the same department whose husband has a good job. [More…]
What else is the man to do but to declare that that woman is the alternative person to be sacked? [More…]
If a man working in a department is declared ‘in excess’ and there is a woman in the same department who has a husband who might not be in much of a job, or who might not have a job at all, he may decide that she has somebody who can look after her and so declare that she is the alternative person to be sacked. [More…]
It may be the case that a woman is working in a department. [More…]
A male who has a wife and children to keep at home and who is desperate to keep his job may declare that woman as the alternative person to be sacked. [More…]
While that decision is being made there is no way for them to know what responsibilities the woman has, what her domestic situation is, what the joint responsibilities of the married couple are, or how the woman will live or want to live. [More…]
When senators receive letters such as this they should look not only at the direct plight so much but also the plight of local authorities throughout Australia- the plight in which they find themselves with little income to do the things that they would like to do and, if possible, to grant concessions to people like the woman who wrote to me. [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…]
For example, it does not seem to me that a person who is likely to get 25 years’ gaol under the provisions of this legislation, will be particularly concerned about the little woman and the children at home and the money they should have when he is serving his sentence. [More…]

In relation to extortion by these sorts of organisations, I heard last week on the ABC, I think it was, of a case in America in which a former Scientology Church member, a young woman whose property and all her worldly possessions had been taken by the church, won a court action and was awarded $2m. [More…]
Mrs Clarke, who is obviously a courageous woman, sought assistance this year from the Australian Legal Aid Office and, as a result, took out a High Court writ against the two officers of the Department and the decision they had made. [More…]
Either the legislation and the guidelines need changing or the officers who deprived this woman of her pension for two years need at least reprimanding or to justify their decision in this case. [More…]
To bring it down to a per capita basis, $390 for every many, woman and child in Australia is the extent to which this Government has borrowed over the last four years. [More…]
It has emerged that in cases where a child is at risk of battery by the mother in particular all that is needed is a woman who herself bears some of the battle scars of bringing up a family- perhaps her children have now grown up- and who has the time for the endless cups of tea needed to help the mother come to an understanding and to experience, perhaps, the love and affection from that older woman who bears the battle scars, so that the mother in turn can show some affection and love towards the child at risk. [More…]
There is the simple straightforward case, of course, of the negligent driver who injures a child while it is within the womb of the mother, in other words, a pregnant woman who is herself involved in a car accident due to the negligence of another person, and the child is born suffering manifest injuries caused by that accident. [More…]
The mother took the child to a woman doctor and still the child was not convinced. [More…]
The mother gave the child a book to read about a woman doctor. [More…]
The child saw a program on television in which a woman doctor was featured, turned to her mother and said: You are right, there are such people as women doctors’. [More…]
Has there been a case reported from Australia of a woman eight weeks pregnant who received a smallpox vaccination? [More…]
Did this woman subsequently give birth at 24 weeks gestation to an infant who could survive for only one hour, and from whose body the virus used in the smallpox vaccination was recovered? [More…]
An approach was made to me concerning a case in which a woman had not seen her husband for about 10 years and she was required to obtain his permission to travel overseas. [More…]
I know that that woman is very distressed about this requirement, which has created some quite human problems for her. [More…]
Then what would be the risk to every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
The Australian Government has not shown any particular interest in helping me- when they could not afford me the money to buy soap, toothpaste, toiletries so much needed by me as a woman, et cetera, et cetera. [More…]
One woman’s son was a conscript in that country or he was addicted to the army way of life and he found himself in the Shah’s bodyguard. [More…]
We would not be playing party politics or arguing ideologies by raising the case of that woman. [More…]
I would like a specific assurance that the Bill will in no way inhibit the rights of a member of a trade union, an ethnic group or anyone else to utilise the functions of the Committee on the Determination of Refugee Status in the case of people such as the woman from Iran, or a tourist from any other country where a civil war breaks out overnight or a coup d’etat takes place. [More…]
I am thinking now about the Printing and Kindred Industries Union and the unskilled woman between 35 and 45 who works on a press. [More…]
That woman feels she will have to do a little bit more. [More…]

Is the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs aware that three Aboriginal children and a young Aboriginal woman were sentenced to a period of nine years and two months gaol for their alleged involvement in an incident which resulted in the death of a man at Huckitta Station in the Northern Territory on 1 January this year?

The provision in sub-section (2) of that section relating to a woman having custody, care and control of a child under the age of 16 years, or to one who has attained the age of 50 years, is simply to be deleted. [More…]
The wife’s benefit is one that is derived from section 31, which relates to a woman- [More…]
The provision that is repealed refers to a woman who has the custody, care and control of a child under the age of 16 years; or a woman who has attained the age of 50 years. [More…]
Section 33 granted a concession to a particular woman. [More…]
Among the women to whom the benefit was granted was a woman whose husband was in a mental or benevolent home, who was a pensioner who had the custody, care and control of a child under the age of 16 years, or who had attained the age of 50 years. [More…]
I would like the Minister to tell me how, under new clause 33 that woman concerned is to receive the benefit of which the Minister speaks. [More…]
Senator Grimes seems to think that she qualifies for a widow’s pension, but would a woman who was 30 years of age and who had the care and custody of a child under 16 years of age, and a husband who was in such a home, qualify? [More…]
A wife ‘s pension is not payable to a woman: [More…]
It is beyond my understanding how such wording can mean that the woman gets the benefit. [More…]
The amendment does not affect the position of a woman who is an inmate of a mental hospital or whose husband is in a mental home. [More…]
It provides for payment of a wife’s pension to a woman who is in a benevolent home. [More…]

A wife ‘s pension is not payable to a woman: [More…]
The reason why that amendment has been moved is so that that woman will become eligible for a widow ‘s pension. [More…]
I have since found in the Act the section relating to widows’ pensions and on no interpretation of that section could the sort of woman described in the Bill be entitled to a widow’s pension. [More…]
Welfare workers have cited often the case of the young woman working in an office who has been exploited by her employer, has had advances made to her, has left her employment but has been unable to prove that such advances were made. [More…]
Firstly, there is a reference to a letter to Mr Bertoni from a woman who it is claimed works for the Balyanna Community Advancement Cooperative Society Ltd.

I refer to an article in the Age of 3 1 October headed: ‘Woman beats high cost of funerals’ which described how an unemployed woman was quoted $900 as the minimum price for the cremation of her pensioner father. [More…]
When the woman decided to organise a funeral herself and to deal directly with the crematorium, the irate and callous undertaker tore up the death certificate. [More…]
We need to analyse the role that a Lang Hancock has in democracy, as defined in this country, and compare it with the roles of a black or migrant woman or the roles of other disadvantaged groups. [More…]

1 ) Is it the practice of the Department of Social Security, where a widow’s pension or a supporting parent’s benefit is cancelled by the Department on the ground that the pensioner or beneficiary is living on a bona fide domestic basis with a man, or woman, as husband and wife, to: (a) provide notice of its intention to cancel; (b) give the pensioner or beneficiary details of the evidence on which it concludes that there are grounds for disqualification; and (c) allow the pensioner or beneficiary an opportunity to rebut that evidence.

As pan of the work of HMAS Attack is to examine unauthorised fishing in the area, would not a woman’s angle be of some human interest- something which Australian Broadcasting Commission programs lack at times? [More…]
Although this in a sense could be regarded as prejudice in favour of the women rather than the men, at the same time one would have to acknowledge that this is a result of the many years of inequality between men and women and the assumption that has always been made that the only breadwinner in a household is a man and not a woman. [More…]
