Government Increases Military Pay Debate in Parliament
The House debated higher pay for militia and Second AIF volunteers with a plan to raise militia pay to 8 shillings a day during training and 6 shillings thereafter, plus allowances for wives and dependents. Second AIF pay would rise to a staged 1 shilling daily base with dependent allowances. Total cost cited near £1.9 million this year and next. Prime Minister Curtin defended the policy as wartime duty, asserting costs and guarantees for defence while opposing partisan amendments. Members from the Country Party and UAP criticized the move as costly, while Labor backed the plan as a patriot effort to support volunteers.
