Mr WEBSTER (Gwydir)
. - I have reason to be rather pleased with with what has been done in many directions during the session, but while some wrongs have been righted, and others have been considered, and the lot of a number of people has been made better by the efforts put forward by this Parliament, I must still urge the Government to consider during the recess the recommendation of the Postal Commission for the creation of a board of management for the Postmaster-General's Department. I do not like to see Ministers get rusty, and that question is well calculated to occupy their spare moments with advantage to themselves and to the country. Do what we may, and fight as we may against it, something of the kind is inevitable in that great Department. I have no complaint to make, and never have had, as to the relations between our party and the Opposition, but never in my political career have I been insulted by one of my own party until this session. That sort of thing does not reflect much credit on those who are responsible for it. They may think it very clever to get into the press something that can be used against a comrade, but we should not forget our comradeship so far as to put on record things which honorable members must know will be faithfully recorded by those who are watching the interests of the other side. I make these observations, not so much in reply to the statement in question, as in reply to the publicity that has been given to it to my injury. 1 need scarcely add that the statement is untrue, and unworthy of any member of this Parliament.
