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. Fraser notes provisional agreement on some proposals and expresses disappointment at how many motions were debated. Whitlam supports preserving federalism discussions though the Premiers Conference limits remain.
