Cobram Courier's Platform For Australia Policy Plan
The platform outlines water conservation in towns, housing for people, decentralisation of population and industry, and efficient wartime manpower use. It calls for tax reform to boost jobs and thrift, full international engagement for peace and trade, and vigorous promotion of Australian products abroad. It also favors postwar planning for employment and social standards, repurposing surplus assets for growth, and ending wartime controls as quickly as needs fade.
