States reach higher funding rise after stalled talks
The States failed in a late session to obtain an extra 12 million from the Commonwealth after securing a 248 million increase earlier. Together they leave Canberra with a combined revenue grant total of 3,715.6 million, up 1Q.L percent from last year, a rate higher than forecast before Premiers Conference and Loan Council meetings. The Commonwealth will review any abnormal circumstances before the next Premiers Conference in February 1970.

Budget clash over Commonwealth grants to states delayed
Federal leaders disagreed on planned transfers of 12 million to states in March and 5 million to South Australia, fearing impacts on this year’s budget calculations. Ministers argued over how shortfalls should be managed and whether extra payments would limit future Commonwealth maneuvering in August. State officials warned that projected increases in capital and specific payments were unrealistic amid tight economic conditions.
