Canberra Election Drift Drives Opposition Optimism
Confidence in a two to one shift of electors from the government grows in Canberra among Opposition members as polls hint at a two to one drift since July. Ben Chifley plans new year activities while Menzies and Fadden prepare a joint platform for the four weeks before polling day. The Labor Executive in Hotel Canberra signals internal doubts about the government’s hold, praising Chifley’s restraint and warning that the Liberal Country coalition could fracture under internal strains. Independent Labor figures Lang and Blackburn loom as power brokers if votes split, underscoring machine resistance to dissent within the party.

Town Planning Ideas Affects Geraldton Council Street Extensions
A letter from the Town Planning Board urged extending Sanford Street to Rootes Street by direct acquisition of Mrs Bradley’s block and part of Mr St Armitage’s land for road widening. The works committee backed preserving the Armitage land for a playground, and the council adopted acquiring Mrs Bradley’s Lot 15 and needed Armitage land. K C T Gibbings sought Lot 160 Marine Terrace for a home and builder’s yard, but Pollard Street extension was deemed impractical and Lot 100 proposal abandoned.
