Sir Magnus CORMACK, K.B.E., (Victoria) (Chairman from 21 April 1970 to his election as President of the Senate on 17 August 1971) Senator J.A. LITTLE, (Victoria) (Until 14 May 1974) iii PREFACE The Committee has continued to meet since it reported to the Senate on 18 July 1974. For reasons outlined in the preface to that Report a chapter on matters relating to certain announcements and geological assessments by Queensland Mines was not included. This chapter is included in this volume. We believe it provides important insights into Stock Exchange and Company practices as well as providing lessons related to the supervision of the securities industry. The Committee received valuable assistance in the preparation of this chapter from Mr M.G. Lincoln, of the Graduate School of Business Administration in the University of Melbourne, and wishes to record its appreciation to him. The Committee sought and obtained opinions from four leading constitutional lawyers in relation to the constitutional implications involved in the Committee's terms of reference. After these valuable opinions were received, the High Court gave its decision in the case commonly called 'The Concrete Pipes Case'.1 This decision was relevant to the nature and extent of corporations power, and the Committee sought suppelemtary opinions in the light of that judgment. The Committee found each of these opinions most valuable and accordingly publishes them so that others may also have the advantage of the spectrum of opinions on constitutional law which they provide. 1.

It appeared that the deposits were of such quality and size that they could transform calculations of Australia's uranium resources and, if they were independently developed, alter international market conditions based on previously known sources of supply. The Commonwealth Government accordingly brought down an ordinance protecting the Nabarlek deposits from the possibility of overseas control, and modified its previous policy restricting exports of Australian uranium. The prices of shares associated with the Nabarlek deposits rose fourfold in the month following the September 1970 announcements, and the question of control over the deposits became a lively issue among domestic financial groups who engaged in heavy buying of the shares. This ferment was, however, based on grossly inaccurate information. In August 1971, nearly a year after issuing its initial quantitative reports, Queensland Mines made an announcement drastically downgrading its ore and assay estimates. In effect, estimates of the average richness and the overall 1 uranium content of the deposits were reduced to about one- sixth of previously published figures. Rumour had long preceded this official announcement with the result that there had been share trading between persons possessing vastly varying knowledge and expectations of the market. Concern over the above circumstances has led the Committee: (i) to inquire into the circumstances surrounding the continuing misleading reports from Queensland Mines and into the attendant question of the effectiveness of stock exchange and other statutory supervision of the company's reports; (ii) to examine the share trading activities of persons who were in a position to possess information regrading the Nabarlek deposits which was either withheld from or not yet available to the general public; (iii) to analyse the heavy share buying by which other parties attempted to gain control of the Nabarlek deposits, and the conflicts of interest which manifested themselves; and (iv) to commission an independent, internationally experienced firm of geologists to assess and report on the geological basis of the public statements issued by Queensland Mines. Queensland Mines Limited was listed on the Australian stock exchanges in October 1967. From its inception eight years previously it had been closely associated with the listed 2 company, Kathleen Investments (Australia) Limited, and it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kathleen Investments in 1964. Kathleen Investments floated off this subsidiary in 1967 by offering its shareholders a new issue of 2,451,400 fifty cents shares in Queensland Mines at par. This gave Queensland Mines approximately $1.2 million to undertake exploration for and development of uranium deposits, roles it had always sought to pursue, notwithstanding a long period of suspended operations dating from 1961. In effect, Kathleen Investments retained control of Queensland Mines after the latter was listed, holding about half the shares.

  • House of Representatives Practice, 5Th Edition
    13 Disagreements between the Houses Apart from placing restrictions on the Senate’s ability to initiate or amend certain types of financial legislation or to amend other legislation so as to increase a charge or burden on the people,1 the Constitution gives the two Houses of the Commonwealth Parliament equal legislative powers. The Senate has the full power to reject any bill. In addition, where the Senate has the power to amend a bill it can insist on its amendments. The likelihood of disagreement between the Houses over government sponsored legislation is substantially increased when, as has usually been the case in recent years, the governing party or coalition has not had a majority in the Senate.2 There have been many instances where the Senate has rejected or made amendments regarded as unacceptable to legislation initiated in the House, some of which have related to major policy proposals. Not all disagreements between the Houses are finally resolved. In many instances the House has not proceeded with bills not passed by the Senate. In other cases the Senate has not insisted on its amendments. In such cases the political forces in each House have compromised and acted as a check on each other or other factors have been taken into account. The following text describes the processes followed and the problems which arise when no compromise can be reached between the Houses by the usual process of considering amendments or requests and communicating by message.3 The resolution of such conflicts may be by way of conferences between the Houses or ultimately by way of the procedure specified in section 57 of the Constitution, leading to a double dissolution and an election for both Houses.
