Restoration Of Adjustments To Be Sought At ACTU Congress
The ACTU Congress in Sydney on September 23 plans to push restoration of wage adjustments and to challenge the Arbitration Court 1857 decision. It aims to mobilise unions to reduce the working week to 30 hours, seek immigration limits, and cancel punitive lodge provisions, citing housing shortages and unemployment. The motion supports quarterly basic wages and restating wage policy, with broader aims to reform arbitration rules and wage increases.

Architects' House Plans Rejected by National Panel
The National Capital Planning and Development Committee rejected fourteen house type plans from private architects after a review at an Advisory Council meeting led by chairman F D Quinane. Five of thirteen new Works Department plans were adopted, five rejected, and two recommended for adoption with alterations. The panel urged specially designed flats for the Narrabundah area and noted issues with laundries, garages, and balcony enclosures, while suggesting orientation changes and possible Braddon-type variants for Braddon area blocks.
