Soviet violinist still in Australia

Soviet violinist Georgi Ermolenko remains in Perth amid union protests and legal wrangles as he seeks to stay in Australia. Reporters, officials, and Amnesty International activists-equipped with legal maneuvers and taped remarks- surround the case. The standoff centered on whether he would board a Qantas jet for London or remain in Australia to decide his wishes. The WA Supreme Court and Foreign Affairs mediation actions continued, while a Senate bid to force his stay was rejected.

Premiers discuss limited aid and wage actions

Broad accord among premiers emerged on funding for 1974 with Queensland's Bijelke Petersen dissenting and the Prime Minister Whitlam avoiding public comment. A five point plan was outlined to curb costs and wage growth, including government tender limits and a project on wage fixing tribunals. A cabinet room meeting produced a cautious, camera-free stance.

Bills seen as grounds for new dissolution

The Opposition in the Senate moved toward another double dissolution by rejecting two government Bills expanding the Australian Industry Development Corporation and creating a National Investment Fund. Deputy Prime Minister Cairns condemned the Senate as obstructive, pledging to reintroduce the measures in the Budget session, and warned of possible submissions to the Governor-General if rejected again. The Trade Practices Bill was also likely to face attempts to strip consumer-protection provisions, with similar reintroduction expected if defeated. Senator Hall argued the Senate harms Australian development, while some Liberal-Country senators supported the Bills in principle.
