Newspaper, "Ballarat to Scrap Trams ...?", c1970

Physical description

Newspaper clipping from The Sun (?), undated, late 1970? about Parliament (Victorian) being told by the Minister for Fuel and Power (Mr. Balfour) that the City of Ballarat wanted to scrap its trams, following a question from Mr. Trezise (ALP Geelong North) in the Legislative Assembly. No decision had yet been made. Also quotes the Secretary of the Ballarat Trades and Labor Council, Mr. A.C. Williams saying that Ballarat people would protest this decision.



On rear of cutting has an item about the Noongah Enquiry, an inquiry into the sinking of the Noongah. Appears to be from a Melbourne Paper, different typeface to that of the Courier.
