SAME AS BEFORE
OUTCOME OF AUSTRALIAN ELECTION FEDERAL PRIME MINISTER’S EXPECTATION. NEW SOUTH WALES OUT OF LINE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) MELBOURNE, September 23. The Prime Minister, Mr Menzies, commenting on the election, said that had New South Wales been in line with the other States, there would have been a landslide in favour of the Government. “I expect the position in both Houses to be the same as before,” he said. “We had been told it was impossible to win in the Senate election in five States, but it looks as. though we have. I am not surprised at the New South Wales vote, where local issues and influences swing against us. My vote in my own electorate, Kooyong, is the greatest encouragement I have ever had in politics.”

Green, who is in ill-health, is prepared to resign the Kalgoorlie seat in Mr Curtin’s favour. Mr Green ■•> the only member of the last Parliament who was not opposed in Saturday’s election.
