Perth September 19 Financial powers debate highlights a call for readjusting Commonwealth State finances after a large national surplus and state deficits. Western Australia posted a deficit of £864,000 for the last fiscal year, with current estimates showing revenue of £5,641,000 and expenditure of £6,280,000. The Commonwealth ended the year with a £3,646,090 surplus, and with tax remissions and wheat bonus payments the overall position might have been about £7,000,000 worse without those measures.
