Letter to the Editor on Geraldton wool sales prospects
The writer criticizes public debate on wool sales in Geraldton, noting the 1949 context and a £70,000 government spend without grower input. He warns against relying on peak year figures from 1947, questions the wool store plan, and cites housing needs and local misrepresentation at meetings. The letter urges caution for growers and government action to ease housing and evaluate industry plans.
