The Australian. Country Party expects its proposed constitutional reforms, embodying new States, to be in operation before the expiration of the life of the present New South Wales Parliament.
According to a speech by Ur Earle Page, arrangements are now being made for holding referendums in New England and Riverina. It is suggested that provinces based on the model constitution of New England be created for this purpose, with legislature of twenty-five members, whose powers of taxation and borrowing will be definitely limited. “The abolition of the present expensive form of State Parliament and the substitution of cheaper, les s pompous and more effective legislatures with constitutions fully safeguarded against outside interference,” reads the statement issued by the party, “was the real issue of the New South Wales elections. The action to secure this desirable end was promised in the joint policy speech of the United parties, and within three years these reforms will be in operation.”
