Legislative Council in Sydney when the Liquor Amendment Bill was being considered last month, Mr. Waddell said that the weakest point of the bill was that it gave voters no option except to vote for one or other of two extremes. He was not in favour of prohibition. He would rather see the licensing law so altered as to prohibit the sale of brandy, rum, whisky, gin, and schnapps, and to allow the use of light wines, beer, and cider. “Has it come to this in this age of boasted freedom,” said Mr. Waddell, “that the people in this country must have all, or nothing at all? We ought to pause before we go into the wild extremes proposed here to carry a question of this kind on a bare majority vote. If the vote is taken in the winter it runs a fair chance of being carried. If it is taken in the summer it will be lost/’ ’ Mr. McGowen declared that in spite of his temperance principles, he did not believe that the people of New South- Wales would vote for prohibition. The man who drank would not vote the State dry. The temperance people would not vote prohibition when they had to vote compensation. Would the 150,000 soldiers who had returned vote prohibition? No! “Local option,” said Mr. McGowen, “has not acted successfully in Redfern, his district. When we closed five hotels in Redfern people just crossed over to the other side of Cleveland Street and got what they wanted.’’ The referendum on the licensing question is expected to be taken early in the New Year.
