Annuity Bill for Dame Enid Lyons Debated in Canberra
In the House of Representatives the Lyons Annuities Bill was debated with amendments by the Country Party and United Australia Party. The first change ends the child annuity at age 16 rather than 24 for the first child, and the second ends the annuity if Dame Enid Lyons remarries. Labor figures call the proposed £20 weekly allowance for Lyons and children preposterous, while amendments to reduce the total from £1,009 to £500 were moved but the discussion adjourned.
