Labor Party shifts policy on prisoners of war work
The Labour Party abandons its standard principles and plans to use prisoners of war for labor in Australia. Primarily, convicts will be assigned to fruit picking in Goulburn Valley districts under strong guard, with other work to follow. Some ministers oppose aliens' contributions, while Australian soldiers abroad report German use of POW labor, urging Australia to mirror that practice.
