Premier stays on as leftists critique Brisbane
Queensland Premier Bjelke Petersen declares he will not retire while socialists and communists remain, on a Brisbane TV program. He defends serving the people and criticizes Labor for opposing government policies amid street marches. Greenslopes voters learn the Liberal candidate is Bill Hewitt after party switches. A letter from the Liberal Party denounces his remarks, while a protest at a Queensland Press Club luncheon sees placard waving and one removal as police attend.
