Australia Faces Coal Shortages For Years Says Chifley
Prime Minister Chifley warned Australia would endure coal shortages for three to four years due to rising industrial demand. He said prewar output of 9 million tons was unsustainable and 14 to 16 million tons may be needed soon, with plans for intensified mining and mechanisation. A separate report notes Premier Gair promised no further increases beyond 30,000 tons weekly, and Victoria’s demand prompts calls to raise output to 40,000 tons as industrial growth continues.
