No Confidence Vote In Mr. Lemmon At Balinguy Fails
A lengthy meeting at Balinguy featured Nelson Lemmon facing a barrage of questions from Citizens Rights Association members. An attempt by Mr. Leiber to move a no confidence vote failed by a large margin. Amendments calling for the minister to oppose nationalisation measures were defeated, with officials arguing state power differs from federal authority. Senator Fraser accompanied the minister on the visit, and producers pressed for actions to aid primary production amid petrol cut concerns.
