Commonwealth to Close Territorial Waters
The Commonwealth Cabinet orders immediate amendment of the Aboriginal Ordinance to confiscate foreign vessels found illegally near Aboriginal reserves on the Northern Territory coastline. Acting Prime Minister Dr Page says this aims to protect Aboriginal women from foreign crews and will enforce swift action against intruding ships. The Larrakia patrols northern waters while plans for air patrols and a cruiser are discussed but not adopted. Invasive foreign craft will have no sheltering water rights beyond Darwin to Arnheim Land.
