Australian immigration policy defended amid colour debate
Victoria's Immigration Minister Dickie said Australia's policy of admitting only European migrants on assisted passage remained understood, with exceptions for dark skinned applicants. He noted about 4 000 non European migrants among 2 000 000, and a one in a hundred chance for non Europeans. Federal Minister Lynch argued policy must resist British control, amid a case of a Jamaican born Englishman denied an assisted passage.

Mother decides New Guinea should stay under care before self rule
In Mount Hagen, a councillor likened New Guinea to a child at its mother's breast urging Australia not to wean it yet. Whitlam argued it is wrong for any nation to rule another and warned self-government would shift taxes and pay scales. He proposed a united Papua New Guinea and Solomons and moving the Queensland border. Premier Bjelke-Petersen rebutted Whitlam's border idea citing Torres Strait islanders and Queensland's stance.

Catholic finances to be examined by ACT archdiocese bodies
The ACT Catholic Education Office and the Administrative and Finance Committee will examine the impact of recent national wage and award increases. The Catholic Board of Education and the ACT Regional Board will also study the effects. Father J P Kelly noted a Sydney report suggesting school fees could rise if state actions aren’t increased, with potential second term implementation. Fees in the ACT differ from NSW parts of the archdiocese, while Archbishop Cahill had said ACT lay teachers are paid less due to lower Commonwealth per capita grants.
