It was a plot, unionist says of Mr Jones
In Adelaide a union social at a suburban Findon hotel drew a disputed claim from former Kingston MP Pat Galvin that Andrew Jones attended to gain credit for a union function. Jones denied the allegation, saying he was there for his fiancee's birthday and opposed by ALP union officials. The counter tea event prompted most union members to walk out.

Australia stands firm against pound devaluation move
Treasurer McMahon signaled Australia would not devalue its currency if Britain devalues. The Cabinet planned an emergency session in Canberra to decide policy while Britain cut the pound from 2.80 to 2.40 US dollars. The move could hit Australian exports, with dairy fruit sugar and wool likely affected, and defence implications loom as Malaysia and Singapore may see British withdrawals.
