A correspondent argues for partitioning land east of Mullewa into blocks of 11 to 40 thousand acres for returned soldiers to farm. He critiques pastoral lease transfers, cites a Federal Court ruling, and suggests preserving homesteads while offering land for closer settlement. Proposes small stations with mining, farming, and fodder crops to aid settlement.
The Repatriation Department seeks places for returning soldiers and urges practical steps. After ESA meetings supporters push preference for returning servicemen and veterans, citing numerous cases and calls for orderly readjustment.
In speaking after the Beverley member, Mr J C Willcock argues over freezing works in Fremantle and Geraldton Carnarvon. He contends plans predate policy speech, cites Murchison surplus, and questions government finance and federation effects. He notes wheat returns and deficits, calls for governor abolition discussion and premiers conference input.
The discussion in Parliament centers on direct government links between imperial authorities and a push to settle soldiers on pastoral land near Mt Magnet and other districts. Geraldton’s freezing works are supported by Mr Barton’s report, noting stock slaughtering and export prospects depend on a reliable water supply and harbor improvements to reduce railage costs.
