TLC bans meeting place at Dickson trades club hub

Organisers say the ban excludes TLC and North Canberra Labor Party meetings and will force unions with offices there to relocate. The dispute began after a BWIU barman was dismissed despite a doctor’s note.

Government backs social programs amid Budget debate
The Government rejects Treasury advice to cut $600 million in committed spending and raises certain expenditure by about $410 million to preserve social programs. Unemployment is seen peaking at 4 percent, around 240,000 to 300,000 jobless, as Cabinet panels largely keep current Urban, Regional Development and Education bids. Education may reach ~$100 million. URD keeps land, sewerage, and state funding established last year. tax cuts for low earners are anticipated. Prime Minister Whitlam pushes programs first to avoid cutting commitments despite inflation and unemployment pressures. Dr Cairns blames the Senate and system while accepting responsibility for addressing unemployment.
