Push for Western Australia decentralisation movement
The text argues for a broad based Decentralisation Association to counter centralisation, urging active state wide support from pastoral, agricultural and mining sectors. It envisions unity to develop every port of the state, deter special area favoritism, and win legislative backing before the next general elections. It notes representations to Lord Jellicoe during his visit but says impact is limited.
