Omission sparks fury as Boyle misses Australian team
Sprinter Raelene Boyle voiced anger after the selectors left her out of the Australian squad for the Third Pacific Conference Games in Canberra on December 3 and 4. The two day meet at the National Athletics Stadium will feature 35 teams from Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada and Japan. Boyle learned of her shock omission at a Canberra Rex Hotel press conference after selection trials, saying the cut had been in the works for a long time. She had led the 100 metres on Saturday until a late overtake by Denise Robertson and Debbie Wells, then withdrew from the 200 metres with a torn hamstring, won by Robertson with Wells second.

Australia Party to Continue as Separate Entity
At an Albury convention the Australia Party voted to contest 10 marginal seats and field Senate candidates nationwide except Western Australia and Tasmania. It appointed interim national convenor and administrator amid tensions over a merger with the Australian Democrats. Derek Kruse quit the Democrats, citing disillusionment with leader Don Chip and infiltration by extreme right‑wingers. Vivian, the sole party representative in the ACT Legislative Assembly, said both parties shared similar policies.
