HOPES OF SURVIVAL
VICTORIAN COUNTRY PARTY GOVERNMENT., (Special Australian Correspondent.) MELBOURNE, July 7. When Labour moves to upset the State’s Country Party Government which is in power with Labour support, it is thought that probably the Country Party will stay in office with the support of the United Australia Party, at present the Opposition. Some Independents are also expected to side with the Country Party. It is considered probable that a composite Government will be formed by the Country and United Australia Parties. The Victorian 'Premier, Mr Dunstan, remarked that if he had erred in opposing the Federal 1 Government’s uniform taxation he had done so in company with all the State Labour Premiers in Australia. He took it as a compliment that after a record term of office this was the only issue on which the State Labour Party could find , fault.
