N.S.W. POLITICS
TO PREVENT .MASS PICKETING
(Australian Press Association)
SYDNEY, September 27
Mr Bavin, introducing into Parliament the Mass Picketing Prevention Bill, stated that of ninety volunteer timber workers attacked by basher gangs, forty-eight were in hospital and maimed. Women , and children were terrorised.
Mr Bavin laid on the Assembly table long bolts which had been driven into logs to smash machines. Amid wild scenes he described the Bill as designed to prevent, for ever, gang terrorisation and brutal savagery. The Bill makes heavily punishable offences any form of mass picketing and any attempts to hinder, intimidate, threaten, or injure persons or their dependents who are engaged in lawful work.
