Excess Payments For Victoria To Continue
Victoria will receive continued excess payments under the distribution agreement as Prime Minister Menzies announced the basic rate would rise to £72,730,000 for three more years. The move offsets the 1961 census overestimate of Victoria’s population which would have cut this year’s allocation by £1,024,000, with additional adjustments to Western Australia and Tasmania to protect state budgets. The Commonwealth aims to prevent any state from suffering a loss while honoring census-based entitlements and earlier estimates. Also announced were five new beef roads in Queensland eligible for assistance under the Queensland Grant Act, part of a £5 million five-year Commonwealth road program.
