Public Business. - Defence Forces (Temporary Provisions) Bill, 1945—Second and Subsequent Stages.
I am not objecting to take the Final Stage now, but I want to raise one point. It seems to me that a number of men are likely to be discharged from the Army in the near future and some attention shou...
I agree with what the Minister said in reply to Senator Baxter regarding the obligation imposed on employers to give back to their former employees their jobs. I am just wondering whether there is ma...
I am satisfied. That is exactly what I wanted to get.
Public Business. - Military Service Pensions (Amendment) Bill, 1945—Committee.
I move:— In sub-section (3), paragraph (b), line 33, page 2, after the word “person” to insert the words “being a member of the committee”. This amendment is related to sub-section (3) of Section 2. ...

Yes. I do not think there is any point in moving amendment No. 2 because it is exactly the same idea in relation to another aspect of the Bill. Amendment No. 2 not moved.
I move amendment No. 4:— In sub-section (9), line 48, page 3, to delete the words and figures “1st day of February, 1945”, and substitute the words “passing of this Act”.
I do not think that argument arises out of this amendment.
I move amendment No. 5:— In page 4 to delete sub-paragraph (ii), lines 31-38, inclusive.
I do not want to divide the House, but I wish to be put on record as being opposed to the section. Amendment negatived, Senators Sweetman, Kyle and Duffy dissenting. Question proposed “That Section 3 ...
