Closer Settlement Opponents Face Government Pressure
Acting Lands Minister Hawkins claimed bitter opposition to closer settlement was a protest by landowners in Sydney aimed at criticizing state resumption policy. He said the government paid above statutory limits for soldier settlement land and that only loan funds limit further purchases. He noted the 1945 War Service Land Settlement Agreement forced acquisition at 1042 values and alleged retrospective price adjustments were rejected by the Commonwealth and other states. He defended equal footing for dissenting farmers and warned of compulsory resumption if needed.
