ACTU seeks Board of Reference to review Ashburner award
The Australian Capital Territory Trades Union Congress aims to refer a portion of the Ashburner award to a Board of Reference to decide issues previously left to stevedoring employers. The plan hinges on a pledge by the Waterside Workers Federation and the ACTU to abide by the Board’s ruling, though commitment is uncertain amid past delays and potential future disruptions.

Federal Aid For Church Schools Letters To The Editor
Sir The remarks of Dr Wheen and Mr McMaster seem to oppose government aid to schools that educate both spiritual and temporal needs.

The proposal would cost taxpayers less than full state schooling and is worth open discussion before condemning aid to denominational schools. Tarralumia P Donnelly Tarralumia
