New Divorce Bill Aimed at Broad Grounds for breakup
A long debated divorce bill from 1920, rejected twice by the Commons, is to be reintroduced in the coming session by private members. It would allow divorce on adultery, desertion, cruelty, insanity, drunkenness, drug use, or willful failure to perform marital duties, and could nullify marriages if spouses are or become unsound minded or afflicted by epilepsy or recurring insanity. The bill, drafted in 1912 by the Divorce Reform Union, is believed to have majority support in Commons and could aid about 50,000 affected English partners.

Canberra faces clash over old age pension relief bill
A Federal cabinet meeting in Melbourne failed to reach a decision on the Financial Relief Bill amid irreconcilable views within the UAP and Country Party. Officials warned against reconstructing the Budget to fund any extra commitments as talks consider Dr Page's proposed raise of the city home property limit to £600 with country adjustments, a move that could cost about £500,000 and re-enroll roughly 12,000 pensioners.

Entomological Branch tests a Paris green kaolin paste mixed with soft water as a dressing for sheep wounds to prevent maggot strikes. The paste wets wool well and deposits poison on the wound, showing better protection than suspensions alone though some maggots react differently. Further work explores adding oil and antiseptic to the mix. Printed in Manilla NSW.
