A NEW SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
AUSTRALIAN SUGGESTION APPOINTMENT BY SUPREME COURT MELBOURNE, June 17. Describing the present Parliamentary Government as carried on by a “lot of nondescripts pulling the strings in the background,” Mr C. J. Cerutty, the former Commonwealth Auditor-General suggested a new system of government, his idea being that judges of the High and Supreme, Courts be empowered to appoint the. Government of Australia, this to comprise 20 well-paid members drawn from all sections of the people. He also suggested that the state political boundaries be abolished. Mr Cerutty added: “Although democracy was conceived on a high plane theoretically, it has descended in practice to such depths of degeneracy and corruption that some change seems bound to come.”
