Wheat and Wine in the Empire Debates and Damages
The article discusses how ancient and modern legal codes compare amid Australian wheat and wine policies. It mentions the Justinian code, references to Theodore and Forde, and critiques the Wheat Board in the United States, with producers facing reduced acreage and subsidies conflicts. It notes wine industry distress from excise duties and a telegraph from Beelbangera Vinie Groves to growers, signaling famine and industry ruination. The piece blends parliamentary critique with agricultural fallout and emigration of firms to South Africa.
