Australian government cancels Croatian linked rovers passport
The Australian Government cancelled Mr Srecko Rover’s passport over his role in the Croatian nationalist movement. Immigration Minister Forbes said the move followed information after Rover left Australia and aimed to prevent travel that could harm Australia’s international interests. Opposition questions linked actions to curb Croatian nationalist activity. Greenwood stressed actions target wrongdoing, not migrant groups.

Mountain tower concepts for Black Mountain designs unveiled
Plans showing possible designs for a proposed Black Mountain communications tower were tabled in the House. Minister for Customs and Excise Mr Chipp, acting for the Minister for Works Senator Wright, moved to refer the erection question to the Public Works committee for inquiry. He urged the committee to assess whether the tower should serve only communications or include tourism features such as a restaurant or viewing platform. The single multi purpose tower would support radiotelephone trunk traffic and television relay facilities into Canberra and provide co mast and accommodation for current and future television stations. Estimated design costs ranged from 3 to 6 million dollars. The project has sparked debate since first reported by The Canberra Times on 2 November 1970. Conservationists oppose further Black Mountain development, while others see potential tourist draw from a tower restaurant.

Rise in four months pushes land and residential lease prices higher
Prices of land leases and residential leases jumped again in the four months to April, driven by strong demand and a tilted auction system. The average bid at the recent unrestricted Canberra lease sale hit a record $17,200, with several blocks selling above $10,000 and one Belconnen lease reaching $17,200. The Interior Department and ACT Advisory Council are examining the restricted versus unrestricted auction rules to curb price rises, while officials note business buyers dominate nonrestricted sales.
