CANBERRA, This Day.
The Fiduciary Currency Bill passed its second reading after a long, bitter debate, by 34 votes to 29. There was a stormy period when Mr. H. S. Gullett, Deputy-Leader of ihe Opposition, suggested that the fiduciary notes, lo show their real worth, should bear on one side a photograph of Mr. Theodore, surrounded by the Mungana. Commission's findings. The Postmaster-General interjected: "You are a dirty clog," whereupon the Speaker sternly demanded an apology. "He's a scoundrel," declared Mr. Green, but upon the Speaker's threatening to name him, he apologised. The Speaker then reminded the House that such references to the Treasurer and a case which was sub judice were not permissible in debate.
