The Federal Parliament
Mulijouunk, Juno 7
In the House of Representatives the Postmaster-Conera I explained that the Postal Bill laid down the principle that the Post Office must be considered on a strictly financial basis. Each Department should bear its own postage duties, and in regard to the free carriage of newspapers, if they wore of educational advantage, then the Education Department should bear the cost of the carriage.
The House agreed to open its sittings with prayer. Mr O’Malley, of Tasmania, gave notice of motion that in the interests of State navigation it was desirable that the Government should prohibit foreign steamship companies manned by either coloured or white labour from carrying passengers or goods between the various Commonwealth ports.
