Mr Bryant complained as government officials gagged his attempts to speak on a motion by Minister Fairbairn to add an extra day of sitting.

Fairbairn moved to put the question, while Bryant urged an end to extended sittings after reports of prolonged sessions last year.
Australia faces uncertain total cost for 24 F-111A aircraft with the figure hovering around long-standing estimates. Minister Howson cited $5.95 million per aircraft as a reliable, yet provisional, American figure while acknowledging ongoing development costs and schedule adherence from the 1983 plan. Parliament debated the finance bill authorising borrowing over years to spread payments, noting an original SAS 125 million cost in 1963, a rise to SAS 205 million, and further increases. The debate questioned lending terms and domestic manufacturing options.
The Prime Minister Mr Holt pledged to carefully examine any Opposition request to publish Labor's views on Vietnam while noting the difficulty of pinpointing the party's stance.
