BAN ON SCOOTERS
REGULATION IN TASMANIA
PREMIER’S WIFE WITHDRAWS.. WOMEN UNSUITED TO POLITICS. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. LAUNCESTON, May 15. The Premier, Mr A. G- Ogilvie, having silenced the motor horns of the State, has now turned his attention to the younger generation. He has issued a regulation that “no person shall in any public street propel a wheeled contrivance commonly known as a scooter.” Mrs Ogilvie, wife of the Premier, has decided to leave the political arena to her husband, with whose views on public issues she has more than once expressed disagreement. Recently Mrs Ogilvie opposed her husband's proposal to place restrictions upon the sounding of motor horns. "I never considered that women should take a back seat, but temperamentally and physically they are unsuited to the life of a politician,” said Mrs Ogilvie. “ Women made political differences a personal issue and carried them outside Parliament.”
