Racial laws lifted in ACT to ease Aboriginal protections
The Australian Capital Territory moves to remove discrimination against Aborigines by repealing provisions of welfare and land laws. Wreck Bay, also Summercloud Bay, shifts from reserve status to supervised access under the Department of the Interior. The change follows consultation and aims to integrate Wreck Bay residents with nearby communities. The Wreck Bay School now ties into Jervis Bay School, and welfare oversight shifts from a welfare officer to advisory status.

Bulli mine fire claims three as rescue ends
Three miners died in the Old Bulli Mine on the New South Wales south coast after an explosion and flaming wave trapped workers deep underground.

Authorities, including NSW officials, said rescue chances were slim as the fire persisted and water from hoses impeded identification while timber and roof collapse threats remained.
