Fraser ruled disqualified from ALP over independent bid
Former Labor MP Allan Fraser was deemed automatically disqualified from ALP membership after contesting an ACT Legislative Assembly seat as an independent. ACT branch officials rejected his claim of a valid exception as five endorsed candidates left four seats open. Fraser won nearly two quotas with preferences aiding ex-Labor adviser Fred McCauley. The NSW branch must ratify the ACT ruling, or a Queanbeyan member may challenge his attendance. Fraser would not comment. The ALP seeks control of committees on health education and welfare amid uncertain cross-party support.

He said such money costs the State Government $10,000 daily in interest, risks 1,200 construction jobs, and could fund public housing instead.

Tax on lump sum superannuation to rise in Australia
A Treasury paper for the Treasurer argues for higher tax on lump-sum superannuation payments. It notes inequities, exploiting loopholes by high earners, and suggests splitting tax savings between salary and lump-sum retirement allowances. If taxed as income, a $50 000 lump sum could incur over $19 000 extra tax. Currently most lump sums are exempt.
