Mr GLYNN - The answers to the honorable member's questions are as follow: -

1.   The statement of the Assistant Minister for Justice for Queensland has been brought under my notice this morning.

2.   No.

3.   See answer to 2.

4.   It is understood that the action proposed to be taken by the Queensland Assistant Minister for Justice (without prior reference to the Commonwealth authorities) related to the Division of Brisbane.

Commonwealth enrolment is compulsory, and the Divisional Returning Officer, who has the continuous assistance of the lettercarriers under an organized system of review, is, under the law, responsible for the effective maintenance of the roll for the division. The Commonwealth Electoral Officer for Queensland has been informed that any assistance which might be rendered by the Queensland police would be in the direction of advising qualified persons, not correctly enrolled, to send or deliver to the proper Registrar claims for enrolment or transfer of enrolment, as the 'case requires.
