The British Economic Mission report, debated at Canberra, warns that development schemes have overspent and cost of living rises. It urges self supporting public works, a flexible Britain Australia pact, and restrained migration while inflation and tariffs push up prices. The panel calls for cheaper borrowing and a narrower tax burden to halt the vicious circle limiting population growth.

1921 22 and 1926 27 taxation for Australian government enterprises
The mission notes that Commonwealth taxation for government enterprises rose to £30 288 395 in a year, with 1921 22 figures showing £18 100 601 from the Commonwealth and £26 620 418 from the States, while 1926 27 saw Commonwealth needs fall to £17 980 646 and States rise to £12 307 744. They link reduced revenue to higher taxation on state projects, discuss real wages as labour reward, and call for a scientific inquiry into protection policy administered by the Commonwealth Government geared to all Australians, while praising labour organisations.

Arbitration reform urged to curb court waste and gendered interests
A mission report urges reducing reliance on Arbitration Courts for industrial disputes. It calls for certificates of failed amicable talks first, criticizes court overlap between Commonwealth and State zones, and favors minimal government interference. It also questions wage fixation tied to living cost, rail gauge unification, and railways operated free of political influence.
