On that occasion the Full High Court had ruled that it was beyond the powers of the Commonwealth to cut off postal and telephone services from the Rhodesia Information Centre and had granted a permanent injunction restraining the Common wealth from taking such action. After granting the interim injunction, Mr Justice Gibbs referred the matter for determination by the Full High Court, where the case was heard yesterday by the Chief if Wr A Decision by High Court Justice Gibbs granted an interim injunction restraining the Commonwealth of Australia from deleting the entries of the Rhodesia Information Centre from the Sydney telephone directories.

In the interim proceedings, Mr Hardwick told Mr Justice Gibbs that the director of the centre, Mr Roy Van Der Spuy, had been to'd by postal authorities on December 20 last year it was proposed to delete the centre's entries from the telephone directories.

McGregor, QC, for the Commonwealth of Australia, said the Federal Government agreed with the consent order proposed. Sir Garfield Barwick said the court would grant the order in the terms sought, which included an order that Mr T.

The idea of a subway beneath what then known as Central Square was first proposed in 1937.

The scheme called for tunnel about 65 metres long by 5 metres wide with display cases available for hire by retailers. Work on the project began in December, 1972, and it has been designed to separate the 8.000 pedestrians and 60,000 cars which now cross the square daily. redevelopment also includes several shops in the subway and a large bus shelter above ground. The State Government contributed two-thirds of the cost of the scheme and the Sydney City Council provided the rest. Roadworks associated with the construction of the subway will not be completed for about another month and taad-scaping certain sections of the square will take a little longer.

They spoke at length on the differences that existed between them and the Papua New Guinea Government and said they would like Australia to support their plan to declare independence on September 1. However, Senator Will-esee said Australia had an obligation to support a united Papua New Guinea; 1 He also hoped that the differences that existed CANBERRA, Thursday. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Will-esee, said today he was adamant that Papua New Guinea should obtain independence on September 16 as a united country. He made the statement during talks in his Parliament House office today with two delegates from the secessionist Bougainville Provincial Government.

During the talks, which lasted an hour, the dele would be settled at a conference between the PNG Government and Bougainville secessionists in Port Moresby on Wednesday. Although Senator' Will-esee did not comment on the outcome of his talks with the two delegates, he is known to believe that a settlement is possible.

Fares from $3,356. It's fairly likely that you haven't heard of "inboard disc brakes" before. Unless, of course, you're already a Rover owner, or a Jaguar owner. Because they are two of the very few production cars that have them. Which is a pity when you consider the advantages.

If you were to crawl under the rear of a Rover, you'd notice two things. Firstly, that you'd dirtied your clothes. And secondly, that the brakes aren't where they normally are inside the wheel rims. The two big discs are mounted either side of the differential, on the axle. The reason might sound complicated, but it's really as simple as it is sensible.

1 A pair of discs weighs around 6o lbs. If they are mounted inside the wheel rims, it means the springs have to work harder to keep the wheels on the road. 6o lbs harder, in fact. It not only affects handling, it also affects braking. Because no matter how good your brakes are, they are useless unless the wheels are firmly planted on the road.

Engineers call this repositioning of weight "reducing unsprung and will talk acres of jargon about how desirable it is. They will also tell you that inboard brakes stay cooler and consequently are less prone to fade. Autocar magazine puts it this way "Fade resistance was excellent. The reassurance of a really high speed stop, with that progressive feel of a giant hand pulling the car back, was most impressive; this must be one of the best braking systems on any car today" It's better to be safe than sorry. Should you be unfortunate enough to have an accident, we hope you're fortunate enough to have it inside a Rover.

Because you'll find yourself sitting, protected and cushioned, within a technically advanced, impact absorbing steel safety cage. It's engineering innovations like this, the inboard disc brakes, a collapsible steering column and "crumple zones" front and rear, that explain why Rover is regarded as one of the safest cars in the world. The price of the Rover V8 Automatic is $8767. If you think that's expensive, ithen we beg to suggest that you're selling your life cheaply.
