Budget history and civic tensions in postwar Melbourne
In postwar Melbourne and Victoria broad budget practices are outlined from historic roots to modern council estimates. The piece discusses municipal finances, the schedule of works, and regional ambitions such as Footscray and Altona joining or expanding within Greater Melbourne. It touches on Liberal political usage of the term and reflects on public policy, defense of free speech, and cross-border liquor hours in Tweed Heads, Coolangatta, Swan Hill, and Victoria.
