SYDNEY, January 30. I ■ The Leader of the Opposition (Mr Wade)
in the New South Wales Legislative
Assembly, discussing the proposals of the Labour Conference to swamp the Legislative Council with enough members to ensure the Council's abolition, said: "The conference does not seem to realise the dangerous, drastic, and unprecedented nature of this method, which is only resorted to under conditions of extreme urgency or public danger. It is scarcely disputed nowadays that swamping is in
the. abstract a reserve method for giving . effect to the people's will, and is only to be applied as a last resort.
