CHAP. VII] THE UPPER HOUSES 539 In the case of a proposed Bill, which, according to law, must have originated in the Legislative Assembly, the Legis- lative Council may at any stage return it to the Legislative Assembly with a message requesting the omission or amend- ment of any items or provisions therein ; and the Legislative Assembly may, if it thinks fit, make such omissions or amendments, or any of them, with or without modifications. 3. There is no legal provision for the case of differences between the two Houses, whether in matters of finance or of general legislation. (9) Tasmania The Legislative Council of Tasmania consists of 18 mem- bers returned from 15 districts, Hobart returning 3, Laun- ceston 2, and the remaining 13 districts sending 1 member each. Each member of the Council holds his seat for six years from the date of his election. Three members retire the first Monday in May every year, except in 1905, and every sixth year thereafter, when four retire.l Members of Council must be male natural-born or five years naturalized British subjects of the age of 30 years or upwards, and must have resided continuously for five years in Tasmania or for at least two years immediately preceding the election. No person is qualified to be a member who has a pension payable during pleasure or holds any office of profit under the Government, except that of a minister, or who is a Government contractor, unless as a member of an incorporated company of more than six persons, or who owes allegiance to any foreign power, holds the office of Judge of the Supreme Court, is insane, attainted or convicted of treason, felony, or other infamous offence, or is a member of the Commonwealth Parliament. The following are not deemed offices of profit or emolument : Wardens of Marine Boards, Returning Officers under the Electoral Act, Officers of the Defence Forces of the Commonwealth whose services ! Originally the tenure of office was nine years, altered in 1885 (49 Viet. No. 8) to six. . The arrangement for retirement of members has varied a good deal, and is readjusted by 8 Edw. VII. No. 12. See also 18 Vict. No. 17; 64 Vict. No. 5; and for the franchise, the Electoral Act, 1907.
