Flood and Bush Fire Grants Clash With Commonwealth Policy
Prime Minister Menzies warned that grants to Victoria for flood and bushfire relief could threaten national economic stability. He said a Victoria request for 100000 pounds for repairing flood damage was rejected as contrary to Commonwealth State financial principles, though 10000 pounds had previously been offered but not drawn. Cain, Victoria’s premier, argued funds would aid inland lake flood damage in the Western District.
