2 000 000 funding bill introduced in parliament
The Federal Treasurer Dr Earie Page moved a 2 000 000 pound funding bill in the House of Representatives to cover three months of the next financial year. The measure outlines allocations for war and repatriation services, defence, postal and wire projects, and loans to states for capital works and railways. Opponents warned of rising debts while the treasurer defended borrowing as necessary to avoid high interest and disruption to private investment.

Proceedings before the Joint Parliamentary Committee of Public Accounts reveal cost overrun concerns at Yarralumla House. Executive Architect T H Cunbourie says much work was completed before his tenure, with plans and material accountability still to be clarified.
