FEDERAL POLITICS

THE CENSURE DEBATE. ON WHAT THE GOVERNMENTS FATE DEPENDS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. MELBOURNE, August 21. (Received August 21, at 9.55 a.m.) The censure debate is dragging along. The Opposition are delaying the division as long as possible, to enable three of their members who are at present unavailable to be in their places when the division is taken. The Government are placed in an awkward position over Mr Webster, who is now in Sydney. He absolutely refuses to be vaccinated, and consequently is not allowed to enter Victoria. Even in the event of his agreeing to be vaccinated at the eleventh hour, seven days have to elapse before he can enter Melbourne, and probably by that time the debate will be over. With Mr Webster absent and the Opposition voting their full strength, it will require the casting vote of the Speaker to save the Government from defeat.
