Victorian news summary of postwar issues and events
A rough review notes price controls easing, partial abandonment of controls, and wage or revenue concerns. It records resignations from the Victorian Repatriation Board, large wartime pension and contribution totals, postponed Citizen Force camps, and mixed harvest results in northern Victoria. It mentions licensing refusals, court actions by unions, profits from the British Expeditionary Force, and cabinet deliberations on postwar markets and steel shipments. It also cites a tinny financial windfall labeled conscience money, escaped prisoners in Vienna, and rapid freight movements headed for multiple cities.
