Profit and sugar price outrage in Australia in 1939
The Argus reports Colonial Sugar Refining Co earning about £1,006,000 profit for 1938 39 on roughly £2 million paid up capital. It notes protected sugar costs to Australians total about £7 million yearly, or around £13 per minute, arguing that dole recipients bear the burden while the sugar industry gains. It criticizes the five year sugar embargo renewal and Victorian Trades Hall for backing an economic policy that sells Australian sugar abroad cheap while charging Australians high prices.
