Repatriation criticizes land settlement policy
Mr James Mitchell, former Minister for Industries, denounces the Wilson Government land settlement plan for soldiers as timid and insufficient. He urges immediate subdivision of first class land near railways, expansion of blocks, and a true partnership between settlers and the State to ensure repatriation success. The speech emphasizes duty, opportunities in agriculture and allied industries, and calls for a bold, timely policy shift.

About half of local horses show night blindness or semi paralysis, threatening the regional horse breeding industry as buyers may reject district stock. Deaths occur in some cases and workers report similar effects on cattle.

Dog proof fencing shows cheaper barriers suffice
In 1888 89 New South Wales set rabbit proof netting along the boundary using a 42 inch fence and 31 inch above ground without barb wire. The author notes no reliable dog incursions over 400 miles of vermin proof fences with sheep on one side and attributes success to continual poison baits and dog traps. He argues a 3ft fence with occasional washaways is effective and cheaper than a 6ft three barb four plain wire design, urging restraint on costly elaborate fencing across NSW and SA.
