Paterson scheme boosts dairymen and Country Party power
In New South Wales dairying districts the Country Party gains strength in both state and federal parliaments. The Paterson Butter Scheme of Gippsland helped by the Country Party is analyzed, with emphasis on forced dairy export controls since 1924 and the Lyons government’s eventual action in 1933 to secure majority-rule operation. The piece notes key politicians, electoral seats, and the political leverage gained for dairymen, including the Gloucester and New England/Cowper regions. A second section reports Maitland stock sales with fat cattle, calves, and pigs sold under firm market conditions in Sydney and local yards.
