Question of Priority in War Prisoner Labour Policy
The Tenterden branch of the Australian Country Party proposes using prisoners of war for national works rather than private farm labor. They argue this could reduce wage costs and widen employment for locals, while opponents cite subsidized alien labor as unfair. The plan envisions replacing farm workers with POWs if transport housing and materials are available.
