Synopsis

Key discussions and decisions from Australia’s 1919 Commonwealth-State Ministers Conference

This volume presents the resolutions, proceedings, and debates from a pivotal postwar gathering that shaped policy on wheat finance, repatriation, land settlement, public works, and borrowing.

This edition captures the formal sessions, the framing of policy questions, and the exchanges between state leaders and the Commonwealth on how to share costs and coordinate action after the war. It highlights the push to balance state autonomy with national coordination in financial matters, infrastructure, and veterans’ programs.

• RepTrp and works programs, including soldier land settlement and public works needs
• Proposals for Commonwealth loans, per-capita payments, and interstate financial arrangements

Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century public policy, governance history, and Australian wartime and postwar reconstruction.
