Legislative Council debates revenue tariff and prison industry protections
The Legislative Council convened at 4 30 pm with Hon Mr Respens presiding. Bills from the Assembly were read for concurrence including amendments to the Temperance Act and a revenue bill expanding duty exemptions to aid mining and agriculture while excluding prison made goods. Members urged rapid passage, discussed suspending rules, and debated duties on fruit cake, cattle feed, oil cake and sugar with emphasis on protecting local industries and considering a broader tariff revision in the near future.
