Opposition 10 Rent Increases Continues
The A C T Trades and Labour Council and the Administrative and Clerical Officers Association will press ahead against rent increases. They abandoned court challenges on legal advice but may pursue other action. The council weighs turning the rental rebate system into an ordinance and notes rebates exist for low income tenants. The executive cited a 40/60 chance of success at about £600 cost, warning loopholes would close and a Fair Rent Tribunal could help little.

Deferred rent rises affect 5800 Commonwealth tenants
The government paused rent increases for 5800 Commonwealth tenants while examining the legal position. Sydney barrister Kerr advised that the Commonwealth Dwelling Rents Ordinance grants the Minister for the Interior power to vary and recover rents by legal action. The ACOA abandoned a potential court move on October 12 but left open other actions. The formula sets rents from construction cost minus 20 percent for higher CT standards, plus costs, amortized over 53 years at 3 percent (1945–56) or 4 percent (post-1956), yielding returns of 4.42 and 4.84 percent.
