ANOTHER TURN
IN VICTORIAN POLITICS. NEW LABOUR MINISTRY CHALLENGED. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) MELBOURNE, September 15. Victorian politics took another surprising turn today when the new Labour Premier, Mr Caln, met Parliament for the first time with his new Ministry. Mr Cain moved that the House adjourn for a fortnight to enable him to prepare the legislative programme, including the Bill for redistribution of electorates. Mr Dunstan, the Country Party leader and former Premier, moved an amendment for an adjournment only till tomorrow, indicating that he would then move a motion of no-confidence.
The amendment was carried, the United Australia Party supporting Mr Dunstan notwithstanding the fact that only on Friday it had joined with the Labour Party in defeating the Dunstan Ministry. With the business of Parliament thus taken from the hands of the Government, the future of Mr Cain’s Ministry is uncertain, but moves are apparently proceeding in an endeavour to form a composite Country Party-United Australia Party Government.
