The Australian Parliament saw a censure motion over the Jetail affair directed at Prime Minister McMahon. The government won 549 votes on party lines but the debate exposed Liberal disquiet and questions about the aircraft purchase managed by the Foreign Affairs department when McMahon was the minister. Leader Whitlam pressed the case, citing documents and Hansard to argue the minister should answer, while Whitlam noted that the responsibility lay with the earlier Minister for Supply Sir Kenneth Anderson. Ken Thomas, former chairman of Thomas Nationwide Transport, suggested the government appeared like Father Christmas to retailers via the DCS aircraft deal.
