Parliament adjourns amid war strain and wheat price debate
The NSW parliament met on Tuesday 22 and resumed on 29 as Mr Holman pressed to take the Supply Bill and to relax the 4 percent loan rate. He argued war conditions force higher borrowing and higher salaries for expeditionary staff, while critics warned of wheat price manipulation and private speculation around Sydney. The Premier outlined unemployment relief and canvas town schemes, noting Europe’s war impact and ongoing uncertainty.

Deputation backs urgent retrenchment in government plan
Mr Carmichael urged the deputation to see the proposal as a government necessity not an act of malice. He opposed retrenchment but supported it as essential, assuring no status or pension cuts. A month to month proclamation would keep 10 percent of salaries, with £150 exemption, as the government faces protracted war and reduced revenue. Deputation members appeared convinced, leaving wiser, perhaps sadder men, noting teachers would avoid differential treatment.
