Policy shift eyed on pets in government flats
The Department of the Capital Territory is reconsidering rules on keeping pets in government flats. Former Minister Enderby reportedly urged a policy based on neighbour complaints and cost, while tenants like V Kazakov faced evictions for pets despite limited official complaints. A department spokesman said pets can lead to evictions in aggravated cases after warning and removal opportunities.

Government to fund GP payments with small extra levy
The government will finance part of new general practitioner service payments with a small rise in insurance-fund contributions. The total extra cost in 1973-74 is about 14.3 million dollars, with government covering 8.3 million and public insurance funds contributing 6.3 million. Individual state contributors would rise modestly, from about 10-7 to 10-6 a week for family and 20-40 a week for single contributors, varying by state. Government aims to start new rates from November 12, with admin workloads heavy for the social security department and health funds. Mr Hayden criticized private health funds for not submitting to the Medical Fees Tribunal.
