NO-CONFIDENCE ISSUE
Opposition Leader to Move Motion NATIONALIST ATTITUDE A motion of no-confidence in the Government will be moved in the House of Representatives on Thursday by the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. A. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton stated on Saturday that this step was in accordance with the attitude of the National Party in opposing the Government’s method of conducting the business of the country.
“We feel it our duty,” he said, “to oppose by every possible constitutional means those parts of the Government's policy which we believe have reacted seriously to the detriment of the Dominion. The people expect us to defend their interests and, though we have been left small in numbers, I can assure them that, in the full sense of our responsibility, we intend to exercise all the rights of an Opposition to examine fully all legislation introduced by the Government and also its administration.”
