Abortion Bill debate stirs Canberra House today
The Medical Practice Clarification Bill to liberalize abortion law in the ACT is set before the House of Representatives this morning. The session prompts opposition protests and government defence as claims of an unruly, rushed process surface, while AMA objections focus on medical practice definitions and patient safety. The day features a Right to Life rally outside Parliament and an ecumenical service by Roman Catholic Archbishops. Canberra Hospital reports 248 abortion terminations from January to April amid tight approval rules and psychiatric grounds.

Price control plan for ACT moves to reactivate 1949 ordinance
The ACT moves to reactivate a 1949 ordinance granting wide price control powers. Minister Enderby announced procedural changes to enable a framework for price escalation while preparing a more suitable future law. The plan includes power to summon witnesses and demand records, but a full inquiry is not yet planned. A Price Justification Board is to be set up, with the Controller of Prices to be appointed soon. The ACT Advisory Council supported reactivation and an early inquiry, while the Pricewatchers Association welcomed the move and plans a boycott in support.
