Campaign for Lower Tariff Seeks Importer Action
The Tariff Reform Association formed in Sydney launches a campaign for reduced prohibitive tariff duties under the Scullin Government.

It cites unemployment rising from 5.5 percent in 1907-11 to 9.6 percent from 1927-29, blaming high tariffs for reduced purchasing power affecting farmers, civil servants, and wharf laborers.
