A DEFIANT PREMIER
CENSORSHIP FLOUTED SENSATION IN QUEENSLAND Brisbane, November 28. In connection with the anti-conscrip-tion campaign, the military raided the Government Printing Office and seized thousands of copies of Hansard purporting to contain a report of a recent debate in the Assembly on the military censorship. It appears that anticonscriptionists, including the Premier (Mr. Ryan), resented the- censorship of their speeches, and subsequently debated the question in the Assembly. The Government Printer ignored the censor's orders not to publish the report of the debate. Mr. W. M. Hughes (Federal Prime Minister) alleges that this is the grossest misrepresentation under cover of Parliamentary privileges. Special Gazette sheets have been distributed containing details of the affair.—Press Association.
