New England New State Movement Gains Support Across States
The New England New State Movement reports rising support from New South Wales and other states as it lobbies the Federal Government for a conference on decentralising administration. A convention for Northern residents will meet in Lismore on February 16 and 17, opened by Mayor Alderman R. E B. Clutchward, with officials including Postmaster-General H. OL. Anthony invited to respond. Delegates are already naming, and petition holders are urged to return forms to the New State Office at Armidale for Parliament presentation. The movement warns of neglect of rural areas and urges action before northern residents press for admittance.
