Left out after being asked to join Canberra board
Two former Canberra Community Hospital Board members say they were officially appointed to the new board of management but were not named when the board was announced by Health Minister Dr Forbes last November. Dr T H Harrison and Mrs J W Snall describe being invited to interviews and later appointed after officials' discussions. They protested the omission and note political pressures influenced the final composition.

Move to prevent lease changes in Canberra
Canberra businessmen seek to block the Interior Minister Nixon from amending the ACT City Area Leases Ordinance. The proposed changes would curb retailing of new clothing groceries and other foodstuffs from industrial leases and ban boarding houses. Exemptions apply to on site production and limited retail, with a 500 square foot cap. The Senate Regulations and Ordinances Committee will review the measure and can force withdrawal or modification. The Canberra Chamber of Commerce and the Department of the Interior declined further comment.
