Senator MILLEN (New South Wales)
. - If it serves no other purpose, the speech of Senator Rae is extremely interesting as being an open and avowed declaration of anarchy.
Senator Rae
- It was nothing of the kind.
Senator MILLEN
- The honorable senator has said here, as plainly as words can convey, that if any individual entertained a bonâ fide, genuine disbelief in the integrity or impartiality of magistrates, that was an excuse for him to disregard their decisions.
Senator Rae
- I did not. I said that distrust of the magistracy had been amply justified, and it is a deliberate falsehood for the honorable senator to say what he said.
Senator Millen
- I rise to order.
Senator Rae
- I rise to order.
The CHAIRMAN
- Order !
Senator Millen
- I ask first, sir. that Senator Rae should be called upon to withdraw the statement that my remark is a deliberate falsehood.
The CHAIRMAN
- Order ! Senator Rae has risen to a question of order.
Senator Millen
-i was the first to raise a point of order, and I have a right to be taken notice of.
The CHAIRMAN
- I did not hear the honorable senator.
Senator Millen
- I cannot help whether you heard me or not, but I was the first to raise a point of order.
Senator Rae
- The honorable senator has accused me of saying that any one who does not believe in the magistrates or authorities has a right to disregard any law. If he deliberately states that, it is an absolute falsehood.
Senator Millen
- That is not a point of order, sir, but a repetition of the offence.
Senator Rae
-i say that it is an absolute and deliberate falsehood.
The CHAIRMAN
- Order !
Senator Lt Colonel Sir Albert Gould
- I ask, sir, whether Senator Rae is in order in making that statement here concerning any member of the Senate?
The CHAIRMAN
- I ask Senator Rae to withdraw the statement that Senator Millen has given utterance to an absolute and deliberate falsehood. I intend to take a further proceeding, but I ask him first to withdraw his statement.
Senator Rae
- I will not; because, if Senator Millen repeats the statement, I will say that it is not so.
The CHAIRMAN
- I ask the honorable senator to withdraw the statement.
Senator Rae
- I will withdraw from the Chamber, sir, if you like.
The CHAIRMAN
- I ask the honorable senator to withdraw the statement.
Sentaor Rae. - I will not withdraw thestatement, because it is so. With all respect to you, sir, I would sooner leave the Chamber.
Honorable Senators. - Chair ! Chair!
