I am a bit wary of rising in the light of Senator McGowan's remarks but I will take the risk nevertheless. Senator Manning made some extraordinary reference to Item No. 10. I was beginning to wonder...
Video Recordings Bill, 1987: Report Stage.
On a point of order, is it in order for me to propose that the amendments with reference to licensing of video recording dealers should be recommitted under Article 91 of Standing Orders? It seems to...
Quite simply, there are a whole host of issues of policy, a whole host of issues of detail, a whole host of issues of organisation, which are well evidenced by the fact that the Department of Justice ...
I have never been able to understand the purpose behind all these proposals for licensing video outlets. If somebody suggested that we should license bookshops the country would rise up in outrage a...

I move amendment No. 11: In page 6, lines 3 to 5, to delete subparagraph (iii) and substitute the following: “(iii) would be likely by reason of being in greater part or in its entirety indecent or ob...
Before I speak on the amendment I want to say something very clearly. I have no particular objection to who handles Government business in this House but I have a profound objection to somebody being...
I will, but I think I am entitled to explain why I wanted to propose an amendment. This amendment is to change section 3 with regard to subsection (1) (a) and what is now, regrettably and most misfor...
I thought the Minister liked me.
Senator, Norris said it. The Government have utterly refused and failed to address the philosophical questions surrounding censorship. They were addressed by the Minister for Justice when he held a p...
