N.S.W. LICENSING LAW
AMENDMENT BILL PASSED. NEXT POLL IN 1928. By Telegraph.—Press' Assn.—Copyright SI DNEY. October 12. The New South Wales Legislative Assembly passed the second, reading of the Liquor Bill, after debating it through an all-night sitting. The reading was adopted, notwithstanding the resolution passed by the recent conference of the National Party objecting to the provision for a Prohibition referendum in 1928, and urging one in 1924.
Mr T. J. Ley, Minister of Justice, declined to make the alteration, and was subjected to trenchant criticism by the Prohibitionists in the National Party. The measure will be a non. party one.
The chief provisions of the new Liquor Bill are as follow:
1. The amalgamation of the Licensing Reduction Board and the Licensing Courts.
2. A State-wide periodical referendum on ths question of Prohibition. 3. The right of removing a license from one place to another will be limited definitely to a radius of one mile.
