Home Affairs, Juries Amendment Bill, 1924:
Memo to each member of the Executive Council by the Minster for Home Affairs, which explains certain expressions and principles contained in the accompanying White Paper on the Bill entitled Juries (Amendment) Bill, 1924. The White Paper outlines the provisions of each section of the bill. Section 3 is concerned with women who wish to be exempted from jury service. 'This section has been inserted in order to get rid of the unwilling woman juror. In this country the number of women who desire to serve on juries is very small and in practice the insertion of women's names in the Jury Book leads to nothing but trouble: the women do not turn up, or they get themselves excused, or they are objected to'.
