Mr H Gregory, M.HLR, in the House of Representatives during the Budget debate, questions wartime policy and price fixing. He argues about promises at the Recruiting Conference, the need for reinforcements, and whether the government has kept Belgium’s neutrality and Hague Conference pledges. He warns of loan dependencies on Britain and criticises the absence of a New Zealand style income provision.

Meat trade controls stir Australia price debate
The text argues Australia should curb meat trade combinations and price fixing, criticizing regulations and costs from arbitration court actions. It cites drought impacts and stock numbers, noting retail prices will reflect fixed prices. It also shifts to a vivid feature about Kathleen the mail-van driver, depicting her long shifts, attire, and the daily routines of city delivery work. The piece blends economic critique with a human-interest vignette.
