I move:—
"That the Censorship of Publications Bill be recommitted."
Senators will remember that, at the end of the Committee Stage on this Bill, the suggestion was made that it would be convenient if, when the Report Stage was reached, the Bill was recommitted to Committee. The only object of that is that in Committee each section can be taken, and any possible consequential amendments considered, whereas on Report only the actual amendments on the Order Paper can be considered. I may say that, in moving this motion, my object is not to delay the Bill. In fact, I should say that in following the course which I now propose, it may be possible to take the Report Stage earlier than otherwise would be possible. At the conclusion of the Committee Stage, it was suggested, I think by Senator Brown, that there were several consequential amendments which the Minister would probably wish to consider. I do not know whether the Minister has gone into that or not. At all events, I think there is only one consequential amendment on the Order Paper, and that appears in the name of Senator Johnson.
