Speaker's Vote Sets Government Amid Narrow Margin
In Victoria on December 15 the Diiver government faced a perilous moment as Speaker Pauline cast the decisive vote to sustain the administration on a Land Registry Act amendment. The bill’s fate hinged on a 22 to 22 tie with Whiteside Perry and Anderson opposing the government. Liberal J B Clearidge supported the amendment, then switched after a brief consultation to avoid a confidence crisis. Had the amendment failed, a confidence vote would have followed.
