POSTPONED ELECTIONS
ADDRESS BY MR. J. HOGAN
In an address given last evening at the Lewis Eady Hall, Mr. John Hogan pointed out that whereas the life of the New Zealand Parliament was indefinitely and, he believed unconstitutionally extended, Australia had had three changes of Government, and one general election since the beginning of the war. Australia was now contemplating another general election.
After criticism of rehabilitation arrangements, Mr. Hogan urged the formation of a reconstruction committee, or authority, on a non-party basis, which would be able to invite views from all sections of the community, and present constructive and E regressive proposals to put fresh x ° od onthe dry bones of the Atlantic Charter.
Mr. Hogan said that a wholesale revision of the censorship and publicity administration was about to take place. The Australian Government was also having trouble with censorship. Britain had adopted a far more tolerant policy, and had recognised that attempts to suppress open criticism and opinions of freedom-loving British people would never succeed.
