Union To Appeal On Decision In Hursey Case
Sydney reporters say the Waterside Workers Federation plans to appeal the Tasmanian Supreme Court ruling in the Hursey case. General secretary J Healy stated solicitors would seek a stay of proceedings in Hobart, while ACTU emergency committee will meet in Melbourne to decide further union action. The Hurseys may be treated as non members of the W W F during the appeal, though the Australian Stevedoring Industry Authority believes they may work under the act. Damages of 3 000 were awarded against the W W F last Friday over a political levy.

The third partner in the New Guinea oil search operations Oil Search Ltd had decided earlier to raise new capital to continue drilling. A statement issued today by the directors of Australian Petroleum Company Pty Ltd and Island Exploration Company Pty Ltd said PB and Vacuum would continue the search with Oil Search in order to prove public participation. BP and Vacuum have spent about £1 million, Oil Search about £3 million so far.
