Debate on Land Policy and Labour in Western Australia
A 1915 commentary argues against land sales and private monopolies, condemning Midland Railway land deals and urging government action to repurchase land for smallholders. It discusses public auctions, the need for fair freight regulation, and criticizes measures favoring wealthy holders while urging support for the Labour Government and rural workers. The piece references Premier Daglish, the Midland Co, and mentions international ties with New Zealand and Dominion status debates.
