Canberra Expenditure A National Asset
The Minister for the interior defends Canberra spending totaling £19,400,000 as sound public investment. He notes land resumption, buildings, water, sewerage, and roads strengthen the future city, with state ownership preventing unearned increments and paving lower rents as population grows. Canberra as national capital should expand, despite delays and opposition from vested Sydney and Melbourne interests.
