It is provided by the Constitution Act of 1890 that all Bills for appropriating any part of the consolidated revenue fund, or for imposing, altering, or repealing any rate, tax. duty, or impost, shall originate in the Legislative Assembly. In the amending Act of 1899 repeating the rule laid down in 1894 when the Council became elective the following pro- vision is made by s. 46 — * There are similar provisions for the Lower House. See above, p. 497. ' See Parliamentary Debates, 1910-11, pp. 3468 seq. Plural voting still exists, ibid. pp. 3192 seq. Aborigines and half-castes of Asia, Africa or Australasia can only vote on the freehold * qualification ’ (cf. p. 487).
