Uniform valuation aims to curb Land Board divergence
Appraisement Holdings cites Crown Lands Amendment Act 1981 section eight to argue uniform valuation is needed. Minister Buttenshaw explains the act lacks guidance on price periods and seasonal conditions, risking inconsistent Land Board decisions across about 80 boards. He plans consultations with landholders to reach mutual, district specific settlements.

Tale of a Tailor's Iron and Voyage Legend
A fragmentary tale recalls early Clarence settlers Mr and Mrs Beckman who married with eleven couples before sailing from Hamburg for Australia. A cholera outbreak killed 75 aboard, but the iron used to fumigate and hot vinegar apparently helped halt the disease, sparing the newlyweds who later celebrated their golden wedding. The piece links Beckman the tailor to 190 year old iron and notes their children and descendants. It juxtaposes this with a Britain energy note on gas powered vehicles and coal gas costs versus petrol, amid limited range concerns.
