Dr MALONEY (MELBOURNE, VICTORIA)
. - I regret that the Prime Minister is prepared to accept the new clause as proposed to be amended, since it will only mean the thin end of the wedge to an increase in the expenditure allowed to be incurred by a candidate. However, it will not involve an additional expenditure of more than £5 on the part of a candidate, so that we may take it that every candidate will henceforth be able to expend £105 in connexion with a Federal election campaign.
Amendment agreed to.
Proposed new clause, as amended, agreed to.
Amendment (by Sir John Forrest) agreed to -
That the following new clause be inserted : - 31b. Section one hundred and seventy-one of the Principal Act is amended by inserting after the word " the " in the third line " purchasing of electoral rolls, and the "
Amendment (by Dr. Maloney) proposed -
That the following new clause be inserted : - 32A. Every leading article, each special poli tical article, and political paragraphs shall be signed by the full name of the writer for three months prior to the ending of a Parliament by effluxion of time, and in the event of a. dissolution prior to such effluxion, from the date of such dissolution up to the election day.
Penalty : Fifty pounds.
Amendment (by Mr. Chanter) put-
That all the words after " 32A " be left out, with a view to insert the following in lieu thereof : - " On and after the date of issue of any writ for the election of a member of the House of Representatives or for the Senate or for the taking of any referendum vote, any article, report, letter, or other matter commenting upon any candidate or the issues then being submitted to the electors, printed and published in any newspaper, circular, pamphlet, or dodger shall be signed by the writer, giving his true name and address.
