Papua's "Fax"?
The contribution of nomin ated members of the P-NG Legislative Council have been considerable since the inaugura tion of the Council in 1951 and none has given more than Mr. B.
E. Fairfax-Ross, of Port Moresby, who has stayed the whole course.
There is no provision in the 1964 House of Assembly for nominated members but there is a reserved electorate of Port Moresby, wide open for the taking. But will Mr. Fairfax- Ross contest it? It seems doubt ful, which is a great pity.
In 12 years of Council debates he has been one of the few who has not at any time talked either tripe or with tongue-in-cheek.
With his commonsense and mod erate views his gravel voice and capacity for the apt and pic turesque phrase, he has the ability to reduce both sides of Chamber to size and to slice through the morass of wordy fancy to bring members back to reality.
