Wool Industry Stares Down Tax Burdens and Drought
At Geldabrough Mort and Co the meeting heard drought and policy failures hit Australia’s wool sector. National sheep numbers fell by millions since 1921 while exports of wheat and meat rose to around £37 million. Drought, taxation, and parliaments’ inaction were blamed for hindering primary producers, with bank lending tightening and imports exceeding exports signaling mounting debt. Summer and winter rainfall failures across New South Wales and Victoria worsened farm hardships. while prices for merino wool fluctuated, overall sentiment warned of broader economic strain on farming communities.
