A housing policy review notes Section 26(2) requires rents at the highest obtainable, with 1970-75 rent data showing significant undercharging compared with fair market rents. Rent increases were planned to reach 175 percent of fair rent from July and 190 percent from January 1976.

Bus plan delayed by driver shortage in Canberra
Canberra's bus service upgrades have been delayed for 16 months due to bus and driver shortages. The Department of the Capital Territory now operates 277 buses, enough to run most planned services but still short of about 180 improvements. Many buses are under repair, and only about 60 are out of service for maintenance, leaving a smaller pool of operable buses. The department plans to hire and train drivers to implement services in August and October, with up to 100 new drivers and 100 buses expected over the next six months.
