Advisory War Council formed after Canberra talks
A bipartisan Australian War Council will be advisory only after party managers met in Canberra. Official Labour rejected a half‑seat offer in a National Government, naming Curtin Forde Makin and Beasley on the council with Labour policy aims. The reconstituted Cabinet may be sworn in in Canberra Monday with TAP and Country Party colleagues. The council’s first meeting is likely in Melbourne Tuesday to plan budget collaboration.
