Success at Last in Numurkah Police Station Plan
The Numurkah Progress Association won approval for a new brick residence at the police station and renovation of existing buildings at an estimated £1349, with the Public Works Department to act on the requisition. Meanwhile local farming yields, including 15 bags per acre of Ghur wheat from a 10 acre plot, highlight good harvests, and the Mooroopna flour mill pays more for prime quality wheat. Council meetings may lapse as Tungamah Shire prepares to wind down, while Numurkah holds its monthly session. Betting concerns affect bookmakers, with hotels facing changes and many dismantled venues in Brisbane influence.

Government considers insurance contract reform in bill
The bill adopts a clause from a major Australian life policy stating that a policy is void if the proposal contains fraudulent statements. It would limit voiding to false statements proven fraudulent, extendable beyond life policies, and ease notices and claims failing strict time frames if no material prejudice. It also treats arbitration clauses as under the Arbitration Act and allows insureds to sue in court instead of arbitration.
