New South Wales to Acquire 20 Large Estates for Soldier Settlements
Minister Tully outlined government plans to forward at least 20 large estates for soldier settlements within a month. The estates, totaling about 15,000 acres with 22 inches of rainfall annually, will join two existing estates under curatorial oversight. Cabinet meetings last week discussed fodder shortages but agreed no stoppage action for now, with weekly reviews to follow.
