In Tuesday's Assembly Mr B B O Conor presented the Select Committee report on the general administration of the Military Department and troop dispatch to South Africa.

The panel urges a state clothing factory and an ammunition and arms factory, questions military command appointments, and notes friction with Major General French and Ministerial decisions. It concludes future federal forces will address reforms after transition to the Commonwealth.
