The second session of the Twenty-second Parliament having been prorogued, I am now opening the third session of that Parliament. When I last addressed Parliament, I was able to speak of the happy visit to Australia by His Royal Highness, Prince Philip. It is more than pleasing to us all that this present occasion should coincide with the visit to Australia of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Australians everywhere have looked forward to her second visit to this land. We have a special and personal interest here in the national capital, because of Her Majesty's particular association with the first sitting of the Australian Parliament in Canberra 31 years ago. It is the warm hope of all that Her Majesty may derive as much VOTES AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 3 25th February, 1958. pleasure from her visit as her presence in Australia gives us. We remember with pride and thanksgiving the historic work of Her Majesty's late husband, the great King George VI., to which the Commonwealth and the world owe so much. We congratulate the British Empire Service League on the honour Her Majesty has paid it in consenting to open its important conference here in Canberra. Her Majesty's visit allows us to demonstrate once more our affectionate loyalty to Her Majesty The Queen and to our Royal Family. In addition to this, the visit of the Right Honourable Harold Macmillan, the Prime Minister of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, has evidenced and strengthened our practical unity with the United Kingdom. By their reception of Mr. Macmillan, Australians everywhere have expressed their appreciation of his visit-the first by a British Prime Minister in office-which was made too at a time when world conditions might reasonably have dictated a postponement. While our ties with the United Kingdom, and with the Commonwealth of Nations, have been strengthened, we have demonstrated further our neighbourly interest in Asian development. Last year, we were paid a most happy visit by His Excellency President Ngo Dinh Diem of the Repubhlic of Viet Nam. More recently, His Excellency Mr. Nobusuke Kishi, the Prime Minister of Japan came to Australia to repay the visit made to Japan by my Prime Minister-visits which have greatly assisted in restoring co-operative relations between the two countries. Delegations from this Parliament have recently visited India and Japan, and at this moment preparations are being made to receive a delegation from the Japanese Diet. My Government will continue the policy of friendly co-operation in Asia, and we may hope to receive many visits by distinguished citizens from Asian countries.

  • Australian Farmland Values 2020 | Victoria About Rural Bank
    Australian Farmland Values 2020 | Victoria About Rural Bank Rural Bank is a division of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited and provides exceptional fi nancial services, knowledge and leadership for Australian farmers to grow. About the research The Australian Farmland Values report is based on actual farm sales using data collected by the offi cial government agency in each state and territory, which is then compiled by PriceFinder. The Australian Farmland Values report is a guide to market trends of commercial farming property. To that end, where possible, transactions between family members or where one party has compulsory powers are excluded from the analysis. Further, small farms are also excluded to limit the impact of ‘lifestyle farming’ on the results. As property settlement periods vary, some 2019 sales will not be captured in this report at the time of publication. The median price for the most recent year is preliminary and will be revised at least annually. The values used in this report are based on the total sale price and therefore include the value of capital improvements. The value of water entitlements attached to a land title and therefore sold with the property will be refl ected in the sale price of the land. If water entitlements are sold separately from the land, this value will not be captured in the sale price. Median prices in the report are only a guide to market activity. They are not a valuation. Median is used rather than mean as the median is not as readily distorted by unusually high or low prices.
