In the years after World War I, the significant expenses delighted in during the war fell with the resumption of universal exchange. Ranchers turned out to be progressively unhappy with the fixed costs paid by the mandatory showcasing specialists set up as a wartime measure by the Hughes government. In 1919 the ranchers shaped the Country Party, drove at national level by Earle Page, a specialist from Grafton, and at state level by Michael Bruxner, a little rancher from Tenterfield.

The Great Depression, which started in 1929, introduced a time of political and class strife in New South Wales. The mass joblessness and breakdown of ware costs carried ruin to both city laborers and to ranchers. The recipient of the resultant discontent was not the Communist Party, which stayed little and feeble, yet Jack Lang's Labor populism. Lang's subsequent government was chosen in November 1930 on an arrangement of renouncing New South Wales' obligation to British bondholders and utilizing the cash rather to help the jobless through open works. This was upbraided as illicit by traditionalists, and furthermore by James Scullin's administrative Labor government. The outcome was that Lang's supporters in the bureaucratic Caucus cut down Scullin's administration, causing a subsequent severe split in the Labor Party. In May 1932 the Governor, Sir Philip Game excused his administration. The ensuing political decision was won by the traditionalist resistance.
