N.S.W. GOVERNMENT
CRITICISM BY MR LANG. CENSURE MOTION REJECTED. (United Pres., Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 9.55 p.m.) Sydney, August 29. In the Legislative Assembly to-day Mr J. T. Lang, leader of the Opposition, moved a censure motion based on the Government’s so-called disregard of the privations of the unemployed and the “filching” of £3,000,000 from the wages tax fund and diverting it to the consolidated revenue, thereby depriving starving families of muchneeded sustenance. The Premier, Mr B. S. B. Stevens, in the course of his reply declared that the Government had actually spent £2,173,313 more than in the previous year on unemployment relief. The remainder of Mr Lang’s speech, added Mr StevenS, lacked trust and a real understanding of the present problems. The motion was defeated on a party division by 53 votes to 24.
