PARTIES AGREE.
ELECTION PLANS IN NEW SOUTH WALES. HOPES OF WRESTING SEATS FROM LABOUR MODERATES TO CO-OPERATE, (Received Tuesday, 7.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, May 17. The Premier (Mr. B. S. B. Stevens) will deliver the Government’s policy speech early next week. The new Ministers have agreed to forego their Ministerial salaries. The election campaign begins immediately. The fact that United Australia Party supporters have undertaken not to contest seats hitherto held by Country Party members and also that an amicable working agreement has been reached has caused the utmost satisfaction in anti-Labour circles. Eleven seats must be won from Labour in order to give the Stevens Government a bare working majority. At least ten seats are expected to be won from Labour in the country electorates and probably five in the metropolitan area. RESTRICTIONS REMOVED. (Received This Day, 0.14 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 17. The first acts of the new Cabinet today included the removal of the Lang Government’s restrictions on trade, industry and transport. Compulsory unionism was also vetoed. The Minister of Labour is to visit Canberra in order to try to induce the Federal Government to allocate New South Wales a full share of the unemployment vote of £1,200,000.
