Queensland plans to revive cattle and boost secondary industries
Speakers discuss secondary industries and the North's cattle sector, arguing it should match southern markets. Queensland beef exports to Britain are cheaper than sales south, with prices for Queensland beef at 15 shillings per hundred pounds versus 45 shillings in southern markets. A concrete revival scheme is urged, potentially a bounty or levy, plus road and land settlement schemes and federal roads funding. The speaker criticizes parallel road schemes with railways and urges priority for country roads to boost settlement and development, noting a 4,000,000 pound government investment in land settlement.
