Fidelity Fund Plan Proposed in ACT Law Reform Motives
A proposed ACT ordinance would create a fidelity fund financed by trust money held by solicitors and a compulsory levy on legal practitioners. The Legal Society would invest the funds and use the interest for education, research, and other aims, with funds held in trust by solicitors. Debates focus on whether trust money should earn interest for clients or for the profession, and how to administer a single pooled account.

Canberra Abattoir Crisis Sparks Council Boycott Stand
The ACT Advisory Council plans to halt advising the Minister for the Interior, Nixon, over the future of the Canberra Abattoir. Members warn of resignations if the issue is unresolved, following Nixon’s tender calls for lease or sale of its chilling plant. The council urges retention under a statutory authority answerable to the Minister, arguing the abattoir remains vital for fresh meat supply, price stabilization, and preventing a meat monopoly.
