The zinc entered the lake from Captain's Flat by way of the Molonglo River. He said zinc concentrations had already approached lethal levels for rainbow and brown trout in the lake. Calculations had shown that if a dam was built on the Queanbeyan River, as planned, it would prevent dilution which kept the zinc levels down.

The Government was faced with the situation that any protest group or minority group "whether they be fascists, unionists, pensioners, woolgrowers, wheatgro-wers, you name it, could camp with impunity on the lawns outside this building or on any unleased land in the city area. "How could a responsible Government tolerate such a situation when a defect in the law had been exposed?" he said.

"It is not a question of the Government taking action against the Aborigines. "It is a question of the Government facing up to its responsibilities of preserving public places in Canberra for public use." Mr Hunt said he held the view that the continued presence of "scruffy tents" outside Parliament House was not serving the interests of the Aboriginal people or the Parliament in a dignified wav. Mr K. Enderby (Lab, ACT) said the "embassy" had been a peaceful symbol of Aborigines' claims for land rights. "The minister converted that peaceful symbol into a symbol of violence," he said.

The motion was defeated after debate was gagged. The Aboriginal tent "Embassy" on the lawns in front of Parliament House had been "a protest of the heart," which had been "by no means ineffective," Mr K. E. Beazley (Lab, WA) said. He was moving a motion of no confidence in the Minister for the Interior, Mr Hunt, over his handling of the removal of the "embassy" earlier this month.

Mr Beazley said an ordinance prohibiting camping on unleased land in Canberra had caused an unnecessary clash between police and demonstratprs. The "embassy" had spoken "to the conscience of Australia in the person of thousands of tourists and others who visited Canberra." Mr Beazley said Mr Hunt had sent a telegram to the Northern Territory apologising fpr his inability to attend the opening of the Tennant Creek Sports Club because of what he described in the cable as a "crisis situation" in Canberra over the removal of the "embassy." Mr Hunt's telegram had said: "Left-wing unionists and radicals threatened to cause a violent demonstration and possibly bloodshed in Canberra," f.ollow-ing the removal. Mr Hunt said the ordinance which removed the "embassy" did not restrict the traditional rights of freedom of speech or assembly or the rights of people to protest. labels of cigarette packets by January 1.

EXECUTIVE OPPORTUNITY BELROSE AUCTION SALES QUERIED The motor car should be priced at $100,000, the Melbourne architect Sir Osborn McCutcheon told the congress. Petrol costs should be at a similar enhanced rate. Sir Osborn argued that economic affairs should be manipulated to reduce the impact of anti-social devices that created hazard and pollution.

He said that after dealing with car and petrol prices "we may need to move onward to public ownership of land, at least for our urban areas, so that decisive, quickly-planned urban developments can proceed." Sir Osborn was delivering the presidential address of the architecture and town planning section of the ANZAAS congress. "Today's prophets of doom have cause for fear the figures are there," he said.
