The Royal Australian Air Force will resume searching for the missing Bardot today, aided by an Orion from Adelaide and Hercules from Richmond over the Tasman Sea near Cape Howe. HMAS Sydney and HMAS Queenborough join the hunt while officials push for a trace of the 23-foot sloop sailed from Sydney to Jervis Bay. The Royalist's drive follows private and government efforts, with ongoing weather doubts and a 24 day prior pause.

McEwen criticises US meat quota cuts
Acting Prime Minister McEwen attacked the Nixon Administration and Congress for reducing Australia’s share of the US meat market. He noted Australia would supply about 105 million lb of meat to the US in 1969, up from 68 million in 1968, but still under half the US market compared with over 53 percent in 1967. He urged resistance to voluntary restraint and cited disappointment over market allocations while the Australian Meat Board planned a Middle East export drive.

Australia Pushes Voluntary Restraints Despite US Gaps
In 1969 voluntary restraint levels mirrored 1968 due to export gains by Canada and Central American countries. McEwen argued the US accepted conditions for Australia’s participation, including proportional allocations if quotas filled and shares based on past periods. He questioned why the US moved to cut imports when domestic meat prices were near forward levels, urging liberalization through Congress or administration action.
