Snedden urges amalgamated Opposition across parties
Sydney Tuesday reports that Federal Opposition leader Snedden called for an amalgamation of all parties opposed to socialist policy. He suggested inviting the Country Party to join Liberal policy committees to coordinate opposition while preserving separate party identities. He noted conditions before any merger with the Country Party and indicated the Australia Party aligns more with Liberal thinking than the Government. He said cooperation with the Country Party would continue to block Labour, and that inviting Country Party MPs to join literary committees would oppose socialist policies, though a full single coalition is not sought.
