The meeting backs a national convention and collaboration with Northern New South Wales and Riverina to pursue constitutional schemes, while balancing finance, administration, and taxation concerns.
The speech centered on centralising finance and government aid to spur rural development and halt State borrowing. Proponents urged a nationwide convention to solve regional disparities, with Riverina and Northern territories cited as examples of administrative waste and stalled growth. Supporters argued a general national movement could restructure Sydney’s influence and revive neglected areas.
The Evening News argues that the New Broth movement merits fair, non partisan scrutiny. It urges weighing all views, honoring but examining the question from multiple angles. A bed ridden man’s inquest evidence from Southend was gathered through an open window.

The plan allows Senate and House votes to select Federal delegates and mandates a 60 member quorum for convention meetings. The bill outlines procedures for ratification and constitutional alteration after convention report.
