RECIPROCAL PENSION
SCHEME
Australia’s Intentions
(Received March 22, 11.55 p.m.)
Canberra, March 22.
It was learned to-day that the Government has postponed consideration of the New Zealand Government’s request for a reciprocal pensions scheme until * the Commonwealth national heajth and pensions insurance scheme has taken definite form. , It is intended to incorporate the reciprocal pensions scheme in the legislation establishing national insurance throughout Australia provided the difficulties can be overcome.
These difficulties include the question of determining the proportionate pensions to be paid in view of the differing rates applying in each Dominion, and secondly the definition of adequate residential qualification. The Commonwealth Government intends to introduce its national insurance legislation during the session commencing on April 27.
