State governments increasingly back action to limit hire purchase rates as Queensland leads and Victoria considers legislation. High rates drain funds from government loans and housing finance while boosting motor vehicle and goods sales. Reducing rates could boost spending by about ten million pounds, easing consumer burden without harming sales. The AGJE Advisory Council is urged to study actual rates in Canberra to push a review of Territory law.

Freshness And Charm In Arts Council Ballet Program
The Arts Council mounted a lively ballet program led by Beth Dean and Rovi Pavinot with strong youthful dancing. Performances ranged from the romantic Sylphides to The Digger's Mate, featuring Jenice Whalan, Marylyn Jones, Lesley Secombe, Alexander Wade, and Trene Boorman. The company showed freshness and musicality, though the corps de ballet and orchestration could have added more depth. Beth Dean and Rovi Pavinot impressed as partners and mime. The excerpt from Coppélia and Day Digger offered engaging school-matinee material, with a robust final Digger’s Mate that was lively and expressive.
