Canberra faces federal state tax power clash in 1953
In Canberra today the federal state battle over income taxation heats up as premiers force a postponed Premiers' Conference. The struggle centers on who may tax income after July and how revenue will support defense budgets, with Evatt urging uniform taxation and warning of rate variation across states. Strong federal sentiment grows over missed conference dates and political calendar pressures. Former enemies return to Canberra diplomacy as Germany and Italy set embassies and Japan sends a delegation, while Canberra eyes a busy year with ministers returning to work and 1953 seen as a turning point.
