Local government and a drift toward reform in Australia
A long excerpt discusses local government uniting councils from across Australia for a state convention. It notes pride in local administration, impending talks by delegates from Hobart to Bunbury, and concerns over revenue loss and poaching by states and the Commonwealth. The piece contrasts vibrant city life with strike disruption at Melbourne’s Princes Bridge and Princes Bridge station, then shifts to new gemstones and a Melbourne racing tale. It concludes with a remarkable tale of a gambler who turned £2 into £22,200 in a single year at Flemington followed by a bold business life.
