In the Legislative Council the Vermin Boards Act Amendment Bill reveals favors to a pastoralist subset. A seven year old deputation led to a government loan of £69,000 for a rabbit fence, later spiraling to £66,000 due to mismanagement. The bill to fix defects sparked clashes over who bears the costs and who benefits, with promises of state maintenance debated and a half tax cut eventually approved.
The amendment centers on Sir Edward Wittenoom with the Assembly likely shelving the bill after the Council’s stance. The dispute involves 36 pastoralists near Gastoyne seeking £66,000 of public funds, while local reports note community figures and teachers in Meekatharra affected by health issues. The piece covers farming, railway workers homes, price inquiries by the Foodstuffs Commission, and local civic events in Geraldton including band socials and memorials.
