Pastoral Lands Debate and Attorney General's Opinion
The Victoria parliament discusses the Land Sales Act and pastoral lands, with Mr Frazer moving on leases expiring this year and a push for reform. Attorney General Taetano provides a comprehensive opinion on powers given to the Governor in Council and the impact on Crown lands, while ministers debate licensing versus sale under the act. The session also notes a motion of no confidence triggered by the absence of Dr Ewannxa, and references an official paper to be laid on the table.

Governor's salary bill and export duty debate in Victoria assembly
The Legislative Assembly discussed Gov CrOoke move to reduce the Governor of Victoria's salary. Mr Levi asked about abolishing the gold export duty. Heales said no such bill this session due to revenue shortfall but pledged to spend duty on gold fields. Masons on Gabo Island warranted inquiry over provisions for lighthouse workers and possible delays impacting vessels. Heales moved to clarify Governor's power to commute death to transportation and opposition suggested the power is the same as the Queen's. A motion to remove doubts about eligibility for office under Crown was debated with mixed views on how to approach the second reading.
