New England State movement seeks constitutional remedy

A regional delegation argues for creating a new New England State in Australia by constitutional amendment. They propose a commission based on a 20 percent petition, boundary determination, and a referendum, while urging interstate boundary reviews and a federal arbiter role. Local supporters such as N.S.W. figures and Armidale and Bellata residents urge decentralisation to curb urban drift.

New State Idea Outlined With Dual Legislative Seats

Mr Drummond proposed a new state with a Lower House of 40 and an Upper House of 20. The Upper House would have five representatives from four electorates, with two retiring every three years. He noted the new state would take over its share of New South Wales liabilities and suggested the Upper House might have less power than the Senate. Mr Menzies expressed interest in the deputation’s information.
