Australia’s wool deal blamed for farmer losses in wartime
The article argues the wool agreement with Britain during the war transfered profits from Australian graziers to Bradford wool operators. It claims Australia sold wool at 187 10d per pound and profits from wool tops and textiles bypass Australian producers. It also links banking reform and marketing systems to support farmers and Australian industry through a planned Commonwealth Bank and a state-led marketing system.
