Inflation clash over OECD 13.1 percent claim
The Treasurer Mr Howard rejected OECD inflation figures as reflecting a 13.1 percent annual rate for Australia arguing the CPI shows slightly over 9 percent for 1977. He pointed to three quarters of 1977 with 2.3 2.4 and 2.0 percent gains and warned the December quarter CPI should keep near 9 percent. The Opposition criticized Fraser and signaled misrepresentation. The OECD list placed Australia ninth among 24 nations with a 13.1 percent rate, while the OECD average stood at 8.6 percent for 24 members.

Bellona finds home at last in Canberra War Memorial
Wandering statue Bellona the Bronze Amazon of the Anzac tale has finally been placed in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra after decades of travel. The towering figure, gifted by Sir Bertram Mackennal, was long housed at Melbourne Parliament House and at times displayed in precarious public view before being relocated to its permanent shrine.

In Lisbon at dawn the Socialist government fell after a 159 to 00 vote rejection. Dr Soares warned the country faced a dangerous Rightward swing toward national bankruptcy as the Communist Party joined centre right and conservatives in opposing the vote. Observers foresee possible caretaker government with dissolution of Parliament or new elections, potential coalition talks.
