Minister heckled over prices scheme in Australian House
In Canberra on Wednesday opposition members heckled the Minister for Systems Mr Harron as he defended the price scheme. He argued the plan aimed to maintain prewar profits and did not promote profiteering, noting the Prices Commission widened powers and cost of living rose only 47 percent in the first war year. Brewers’ excise increases were passed with no profit margin, and hotelkeepers’ margins were reduced.
