Year Book 1947 - What Else Happened?

So what made news in 1947? Labor was still in power, using up all the petrol it wouldn't give to our motorists. The Poms were firing rockets over our Aborigines, while Menzies was discovering Reds under our beds. Our new Governor General was not a Pom, but a local lad, and Princess Elizabeth said yes to a Greek. Six boys, aged under 17, were gaoled for life, and 10 o'clock closing night stop the 6 o'clock swill. These were striking times.
