Wool Tax Protest Sparks Horsham Appeal Meeting
A Horsham gathering at the Fire Brigade Hall decided to launch a donation appeal to finance a legal challenge against the wool tax. They aim to raise £6,000 and designated local collectors in several districts while noting strong opposition from agriculture groups and officials. They referenced recent commentary in The Producer and warned of the act's potential long-term financial impacts and political uncertainty amid a double dissolution environment.
