Debates Continue at Australian Constitutional Convention in Hobart

In Hobart the Australian Constitutional Convention resumes after a touch-and-go session. Prime Minister Fraser signals a willingness to refer issues to the Advisory Council on intergovernmental matters rather than to the standing committee, while debate centers on ACIR representation and state input.
