CENSURE MOTION ON LANG LOST.
BAVIN ASSAILS PREMIER IN SPEECH, MARKED BY UPROAR
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY, February 25. In the Assembly, when Mr M’Tiernan moved the adjournment of the House until Wednesday next Mr Bavin seized the opportunity and moved the motion of censure, which had been on the
business paper for some time. He
rigorously at- ) tacked the Gov-
ernment on the Upper House issue, and said that after the defeat of Mr Lang's Bill regarding the Upper House the Premier wa? placed in such a humiliating and degrading position as never before. He was the sorriest figure that a Premier of the State had ever cut. This speech caused an uproar, in which Mr Bavin was heard to state that the Premier did not even pay the country the courtesy of telling what he proposed to do. He showed lack of courtesy to everyone in the country, and there was only one course to take—that was an appeal to the people. Mr Bavin’s motion was defeated and the adjournment was carried.
