Public Interest Guarded by Legislative Council, Says M L C
In defense of the NSW Legislative Council, E C Sommerrad argues the upper house safeguards public interests without cost. He cites cross-party amendments, experienced non-parliamentary members, and detailed reviews of bills from 1955 to wartime periods, including Local Government and Industrial Arbitration measures, rail and tax bills, and earlier contentious tax and pastures acts. He notes consistent application of tests, independence from partisan motives, and the council’s role in delaying and revising legislation for the public good. The piece previews further debate on the Coal Industry Bill and related measures.
