Government plan to replace dole with work program
State government prepares a scheme to substitute work for dole where possible, proposing two days of work per week at award rates and a maximum of eight days per month. Trades Hall wants 10 to 12 days monthly. A wartime cost debate at the Yost caucus highlights need for credits and local council cooperation. Unemployed Workers' Movement weighs in with possible opposition. An experimental piecemeal approach will start, needing municipal and shire council participation.

Interest bill relieves Australian debt burden by Britain leaving gold standard
Commonwealth Statistician Professor Giblin says the gold standard departure reduces Australia’s interest obligations by about 25 percent. He notes relief comes from lower conversion costs as exports are valued in gold, effectively a conversion loan secured by Britain’s shift. Dissolution of British Parliament expected next week with Privy Council on Thursday and cabinet decisions imminent.

Car parking at Nundle case dismissed for lack of street alignment
At Nundle Police Court Charles Roy Bowden was charged with permitting a motor car on a footpath. Bowden argued the car was under a store awning with no footpath.
