PM cancels trip and maps election campaign
The Prime Minister cancelled his trip to Indonesia and plans to begin an election campaign for the double dissolution election on May 18. He intends to use the issue of the Opposition’s threats to vote against the Government’s Appropriation Bills to push the Government agenda. The Opposition remains split on strategy with no firm decisions yet, while Labor plans a federal campaign committee meeting and Whitlam cancels Indonesia talks unless opposition backs down.

Dial a bus trial planned for Canberra this year
The Minister for the Capital Territory Mr Bryant approved in principle the introduction of an experimental dial a bus service in Canberra. He hopes the service will start in the Woden Valley this year, then expand citywide if successful. The door to door scheme would use a central dial to request a bus with half hour wait, linking Woden Plaza shoppers to city bound express buses and offering pre booked or on demand return journeys. The plan envisions parcel deliveries to the dial a bus depot and would require support from Woden Plaza and compatible 12 seat buses. Department transport planners say it is a necessary adjunct to rapid transit and would curb family car use if viable.
