Manilla district voices favor non party grounds for May referendum. Arguments against rely on party lines, while supporters assert the bill expands democracy by electing a council by people’s representatives, limiting pay, and empowering referenda on legislation. The piece also criticizes Lang’s past actions and argues for constitutional reform and public accountability.
A fragmentary 1903 era piece blends a war memorial tableau with scattered political debate. It reflects a calm dawn over crosses and incense of wild thyme with distant gunfire fading, then shifts to New South Wales politics about Lang’s return and the May 13 referendum. The notice argues against a Yes vote to preserve constitutional balance, warning of potential revolution and popular subservience to Parliament if the Referendum passes. It also reports local council road works, flood repairs, revenue, and road maintenance concerns across Burra and surrounding districts, naming places and projects.
