Federal judges age limit ends four long serving jurists
The government will not appoint federal judges over 65 for the new Federal Court, effectively retiring four Industrial Court judges this month. Joske aged 81, Smithers 74, Dunphy 69, and Nimmo 68 will keep salaries and staff but no judicial duties. Proposals align with parliamentary recommendations, while plans to appoint six new judges on February 1 proceed from benches including the Industrial Court and ACT Supreme Court.

Tobacco tax in Queanbeyan dropped
Queanbeyan tobacconists won their fight to have NSW drop its 10 per cent tobacco tax. A lobby by Bob Blagdon led to renewed government letters noting an investigation into border price differentials. The impact reduced tobacco sales as ACT buyers switched, with Blagdon reporting a 60 per cent drop in takings since November 1975. The licence fee remains at $10 annually.
