ALLEGATION RESENTED.
GOOD NAME OF CANBERRA,
(BT CABLE— PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
CANBERRA, December 9,
In the House of Representatives Mr Brcnnan complained that Canberra had been made the subject of Scriptural derogation, and wanted something done about it. He explained that enquiries were made from Melbourne to a prominent Civil Servant, as to the conditions at Canberra. In reply the enquirer was referred to a verse in the Prophet Nahum.
Mr Brennan looked up this verse and found it read, "Woe to the bloody cityl It is all full of lies and robbery!" He asked the Minister for Home Affairs would he take steps to correct this allegation, or at least to make it clear that it was greatly exaggerated. The Minister replied that as the question was such a serious one, and as the answer required careful consideration, he would be glad if Mr Brennan would put the question on the notice paper.
