The Henry George League laments a push to grant freehold to large Northern Territory tracts, calling it a sell-out of future generations. President Mel Morris told Parliament the plan reverses long discredited property tenure. Minister Barnes will consider but cannot decide policy at present.

Buna Diorama Memorial Scene Depicts Buna 1942 Attack
Work on a new diorama for the Australian War Memorial began yesterday. The piece recreates the Buna attack in December 1942 when 18th Australian Infantry Brigade troops, veterans of Tobruk and Milne Bay, with tanks from the Second and Sixth Armoured Regiments, stormed Japanese bunkers. Melbourne sculptor Ray Ewers created it, his 17th diorama for the memorial, and will visit Canberra over the next two weeks to supervise final installation.

Road Status Lift Appeal to upgrade Gunning Queanbeyan link
The Goodradigbee Shire Council will approach the Department of Main Roads to raise the status of the road between Gunning and Queanbeyan. A deputation and a 400-signature petition prompted the move. Local Roman Catholic residents lack church services as priests will not travel the current road condition. Upgrading to a trunk road would require more maintenance funding.
