Mr GABB asked the Minister for Home and Territories, upon notice -

1.   Whether indentured labour is allowed in New Guinea by the Australian Government?

2.   If so, is it correct that contracts are for three years at a minimum wage of 5s. per month for men, and 4s. per month for women and boys?

3.   Has the British Government announced the abolition of indentured labour in all territories under its control?
