Commonwealth Bank Bill debated in House of Representatives
Mr J P Abbott defended the Commonwealth Bank Bill noting the Royal Commission on Monetary and Banking Systems was to inquire into systems and report desirable changes. The commission held 105 sessions from 1936 to 1937, heard 200 witnesses, and issued a report to the Governor General. Abbott warned the bill diverged from the commission’s axioms on governance and central banking.

A fragment discusses Adam’s hypothetical counting from creation. It notes that even if he began at the start and counted onward at an enormous rate, he would not reach one billion within the then commonly believed age of the earth, illustrating a dramatic scale of time. The text cites an extreme counting rate and converts it into thousands of years, underscoring the mismatch between oral counting speed and cosmic time.
