Penal clause repeal plan outlined by Commonwealth minister
The Commonwealth pledges to repeal the sanctions clauses of Section 109A of the Arbitration Act if the National Employers Policy Council and the ACTU agree to insert new dispute provisions in awards. The plan would strip the industrial court of powers to enforce awards and to restrain breaches, while introducing plant, industry, state, and national level dispute procedures aimed at preventing strikes and spreading disputes.

State Circle will become a one way clockwise route within two weeks for about ten months to permit overpass construction at Commonwealth and Adelaide Avenues. During the period no cross traffic will be encountered and all entering State Circle will turn left.
