The dispute hinges on whether the Commonwealth should run a savings bank within the post office system and how it could affect state savings banks and note issues.

Banks and the Australian gold reserve debate

The government risks becoming subordinate to banks as they guard shareholder interests and demand gold backing. Banks must source specie and bullion to cover Australia’s debts, with export figures fluctuating from year to year. In 1901 Australia shipped fifteen and a quarter million, in 1909 about eight and a half million, with yearly swings of three to six million. Banks warned the Prime Minister they may require two to three million in gold notes, threatening to erase any reserve. State banks seem attractive in theory but fail in practice.
