Pastoralists' Union of New South Wales

Last updated

The Pastoralists' Union of New South Wales was an association of landholders in Australia, founded in 1890. In 1916 it was renamed Graziers' Association of New South Wales, one of the founders of the Progressive Party of New South Wales, [1] which became New South Wales National Party.

History

The Pastoralists' Union of New South Wales was formed in 1890 in response to the statement or threat by the Amalgamated Shearers' Union of Australasia (ASU) that it would take steps to prevent non-Union-sheared wool from being exported. [2]

The name of the organisation was changed as of 1 October 1916 to Graziers' Association of New South Wales to avoid the connotation of pastoralists as large wealthy landholders defending their position of power and privilege, when in fact many were modest farmers. [3]
