Debate on land resumption and closer settlement in Victoria
Mr Robertson argues for land resumption to populate regions with existing railways and roads, opposing large holdings and urging freehold tenure to reduce borrowing. He warns against dummy land and stresses closer settlement to aid working men, market access, and export growth, noting New Zealand lessons and the need for practical land administration and market openings. He advocates limited first payments, one lot per farmer, and government land purchases to stimulate supply, with calls for soil analysis, credit facilities, and cross-department coordination to unlock Crown lands.
