Whitlam blocks Privy Council move on seabed appeals
Prime Minister Whitlam intervened with Britain to stop Australian states appealing to the Privy Council over seabed control. He sent a message to Prime Minister Heath arguing it would be inappropriate for the Crown to refer petitions to the Judicial Committee. He said the seas and submerged lands bill will allow High Court determination of seabed questions, avoiding dual authority and preserving the High Court as the proper forum.
