Senator Townley of Tasmania said a Labor parliamentarian offered him a secretary and a bigger office to vote with the Government on trade practices and consumer protection clauses. He stated he decided to support the clauses after reviewing the offer and indicated he had informed ministers. He refused to name the parliamentarian, citing his position and dislike of such tactics, and noted the Prime Minister hinted at staff assistance.

Liberals invite senator Townley to rejoin party
Tasmanian Liberal leader Mr D G Wine announced that Senator Townley has been invited back into the Liberal fold. The move would give Opposition forces 30 Senate votes, enough to block government measures, as 29 are held by ALP senators with one independent. The invitation follows Townley's recent cross‑voting and four years outside the party, and a unanimous state executive decision at Launceston. Senator Townley’s past antisocialist stance was noted by supporters.
