TRADE MEASUREMENT (ADMINISTRATION) BILL 1991
Debate resumed from 12 September 1991, on motion by Mr Connolly:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MR COLLAERY (6.06): Mr Acting Speaker, I just wanted to say that I did not think that the historical allusions to weight started with the Magna Carta. I thought they started in the Book of Leviticus where it was said, "Thou shalt sell bread by weight alone", and that it was a woman's task. I just wanted to correct the Attorney.
Mr Moore: What verse is that, Bernard?
MR COLLAERY: Mr Moore asked what verse it is. I have it on an envelope upstairs; it arrived just this morning.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
