Farmers Demand Fair Pay for Wheat Exports in 1918 Londons Trip
In a letter from Venus urging action, Steve McManus of Mungitan Goomalling accuses the Hughes and Cook government of delaying payments to farmers for wheat sold abroad. He recalls 4s per bushel and questions Britain’s alleged 48 1/2d purchase price, demanding immediate full payment or terms. He calls for public meetings across Australia to protest and press for farmers’ dues.
