Cost of Living Increases Across Australian States
A colonial statistics note analyzes November 1925 price changes for 40 commodities against December 1924 levels. It records Commonwealth figures showing Victoria and New South Wales near 1% gains, Queensland leading with about 1.4% rise, and Western Australia lagging. The report lists price shifts by state and provides base figures for the cost of living index, with notable maximums in New South Wales and Tasmania and the overall year‑on‑year increase across the states.

Taxless Isles and the Crown's Imperial Tax Debate
Reads like a fragmented 18th century debate on taxation and the Crown's power over Ireland and France. Referenced figures discuss duties, inheritance and the Treasury, with emphasis on currency, protection, and free movement of populations. The piece hints at Parliament's stance on imperial taxation and resistance to taxation without direct representation.
