Australia must bear the cost of war in reduced living standards
The Commonwealth Prices Commissioner argues that war costs go beyond money, reducing living standards by up to half of prewar comforts. He outlines how Australia has mobilized idle resources and shifted labor, urging deeper sacrifices via longer hours, reorganization, and greater efficiency to fund the war without crippling civilian life.

Motor Tax Concessions in Wartime Australia
The Graxters Association pressed for car use by Defence Forces on leave. The Commissioner ruled no general permit exists but allows concessions for those on defence duties. Vehicle registration may be reduced by weeks out of use, with evidence of service required. Timber plates must be surrendered near home during non-use. The piece links tax relief to broader war effort austerity and plans for proportional production and price adjustments.
