NEW SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT
SUGGESTION IN AUSTRALIA APPOINTMENT BY JUDGES (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 17th June, 10.25 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Describing the present parliamentary Government as carried on by a “lot of nondescripts pulling the strings in the background,” Mr C. J. Cerutty, former Commonwealth Auditor-General, suggested a new system, of Government, his idea being that the Judges of the High and the Supreme Courts be empowered to appoint the Government of Australia. This is to comprise twenty well-paid members, drawn from all sections of the people. He also suggested that State political boundaries be abolished. Mr Cerutty added: “Although democracy was conceived on a high plane theoretically, it has descended in practice to such depths of degeneracy and corruption that some change seems bound to come.”
