Sunday observance code planned for ACT hearings
The ACT inquiry into Sunday observance held public hearings with assistant secretary J A Costello stating a code will reflect committee recommendations. The department aims to fit community attitudes, noting many would choose other activities on Sundays and that youth are a key group. No specific legal change was proposed, and the department could not gauge if traditional Sunday observance remains widespread.
