Premier faces charge in Queensland conspiracy case
The Premier of second land Mr Bjelke-Petersen faces a criminal conspiracy to pervert the course of justice in Brisbane Magistrate's Court. The charge stems from a cabinet decision on August 3 to block a police inquiry into a July 27 1976 student demonstration incident. A young Brisbane lawyer Mr Mark Plunkett filed the complaint. September 15 is set for a preliminary hearing, with a likely later date for the main hearing. The case may draw wider attention, with possible witness Sir Zelman Cowen and parallels raised to the 1975 loans affair involving Mr Whitlam.
