Bill to give Canberra control over health fund reserves
The Federal Government proposes legislation to take direct control of reserves held by health funds across Australia. Minister for Social Security Hayden signaled the bill, agreed by Cabinet last September, to empower directing funds for medical and hospital benefits and limit reserve use for political purposes. The move aims to moderate costs and balance reserves against government liabilities, with over 94 funds holding more than 120 million dollars as of June 1972. The bill faces Senate opposition but Hayden expects passage, noting prior suspicions of fund political use and stating the measure prevents such activity.

Australia weighs FM broadcasting shift to VHF and public access
A parliamentary inquiry recommends adopting very high frequency FM across Australia to reach 90 percent of the population at an estimated 182 million dollars. Public access and non profit community stations would be created, with ABC likely gaining at least one high quality stereo FM channel. Existing TV channels may be moved to clear the way and future TV sets should receive VHF. The report, authored by Sir Francis McLean and Professor C Renwick, follows advice from the Broadcasting Central Board and the Senate Committee on Education Science and the Arts.
