Union Levy Ruling Upheld in Tasmanian Case

The Tasmanian Supreme Court ruling reducing damages for Hobart waterside workers Frank and Dennis Hursey from £2500 to £1000 each was upheld by the Full High Court. The Hurseys must pay half the W.W.F. appeal costs, and a declaration that they were W.W.F. members was set aside. The case prompted calls for compensation for watersiders suspended during 1958 and for reforms to port and labour rules.

Keen Bidding For Industrial Leases In Canberra

The auction of 53 industrial blocks in Fyshwick and nearby areas yielded a total bid of £64,940 with an average premium of £736. Bids were highly competitive from the start, peaking at 12 bidders for a single block and including notable buyers such as Koorey Bros and A.C.T. Builders. The top premium reached £2,700 for a corner block. The Department of the Interior could not disclose individual tender prices, and questions remain on future auctions and disposal methods. Minister Freeth called the move a sign of healthy demand and noted anticipated employment growth outside government roles, while cautioning that future policy depends on circumstances.
