Hon W Bennett MLA spoke at the factory’s annual meeting on the Marketing Act. He urged voters to consider provisions allowing producer majority on boards and warned of past flaws while noting benefits of cooperative marketing for butter in New South Wales.
The minister outlines a plan to form Marketing Boards with up to seven members including two elected by producers. Boards could sell commodities, regulate supply, make contracts, levy funds, and secure bank advances from institutions like the Commonwealth and Rural Banks. He urges all in dairying to vote in favor on October 5, citing proven collective marketing success and favorable financing up to 60 percent of market value for wheat and butter.

Fragmentary OCR hints at legal action and agents pursuing a missing vessel. References to lawyers and representatives suggest ongoing court or arbitration related to the ship's disappearance. The readable bits imply formal complaint or inquiry underway with unspecified parties.
