From “Notes on Setting a Hen’.’ by a poultry expert of the New South Wales Agricultural Department in the departmental weekly sheet:— “In some respects, broodiness in fowls is akin to love in humans. The condition cannot be induced artificially but once established it cannot be easily shaken off—the patient being quite content to sit staring glasseyed into space.” * * * * *
Two Voices. Australian Socialist Minister of External Affairs, Dr Evatt in the United Nations World magazine:— “. . . . dissatisfaction which results from resentment and discrimination on grounds of colour or class is a fundamental weakness in the structure of Western culture.” Australian Socialist Minister of Immigration, Mr Calwell, on the second reading of the War-time Refugees Removal Bill:— “I. am determined that no matter who criticises or who complains; no matter what un-Australian activities the haters of this Government and of this Government’s maintenance of our immigration restriction laws and practices may resort to, those laws and practices will remain unchanged and unchangeable.”
