The minister for the Capital Territory, Mr Staley, unveiled a blueprint for ACT self government involving a large transfer of powers to a part time Legislative Assembly.

Australia probes Indian envoy attack linked to politics
The Indian High Commissioner said the assault on Colonel Iqbal Singh carried political motives rather than personal vendetta. An Australian government spokesman considered a permanent 24 hour guard for Indian government buildings as authorities search Canberra area for a suspected attacker who stabbed the colonel in his home before forcing him and his wife into a car. Police expanded inquiries to Ananda Marga followers in Canberra as guards were placed at diplomats' residences.
