Senator ELLISON (Special Minister of State) (4:02 PM) —Before we go further, I was just about to answer a question put to me by Senator Brown in relation to the question of the time of qualification and how it related to nomination. I dealt with those aspects of disability which would disqualify someone from being able to be put forward as a President of this country under the proposed legislation. The amendment is not designed to give politicians a chance. It is designed to give a chance to a wider class of people, such as judges, people who are in the public service and teachers. That was really the means to open up that class of person and say, `Whilst we are deciding the question of nominations, we are not precluded from doing so simply because they happen to be a judge or in the employment of the public service.' It is not a question of getting politicians into the position of President; it is more a question of widening the choices at the time when nominations are considered. That is the government answer in relation to the previous amendment which has now been dealt with.
