Snedden blasts prices and incomes referendum as harmful
The Leader of the Opposition Sir Malcolm Snedden warned last night that approving the prices and incomes powers would threaten Australia’s social and economic system. He argued the referendum shifts control to the Federal Government at the expense of the States, calling the powers unnecessary and harmful. He spoke amid a nationally broadcast reply to Prime Minister Whitlam’s referendum appeal and continued his criticism of the Labor Party and the Public Service. The ALP Federal Executive later voted to support both questions, though not binding on members or unions, with Whitlam backing stronger tribunal powers rather than a strict wages or prices freeze.

Strikes Strain Canberra Flight Traffic as Sydney Closes
Canberra airport faced peak pressure on Saturday as air traffic surged due to Sydney Airport’s strike. Sydney ran at reduced capacity since September 10, with 60 radio technical officers demanding higher pay, forcing the closure last Wednesday amid safety equipment breakdown. Ansett Australia brought in relief staff as 72 flights to Sydney were logged and 45 coach transfers whisked passengers onward. Spokesmen warned no improvement until the dispute ends. ACT Electricity Authority chairman H A Jones said demand was down, no blackouts occurred, and voluntary power reductions helped maintain supply.
