It doesn't create new rules or rights, but unlocks credit to continue a post-war promise—giving veterans a chance to become farmers. The money must be spent according to the earlier *States Grants (War Service Land Settlement) Act 1952–1953*."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967","history":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967/history","analysis":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/loan-war-service-land-settlement-act-1967/documents"}}
