Op PAUL HITS A BIG BREAKAUST. THROUGH VISIT
THE PRIME MINISTER, SIR ROBERT MENZIES, ANNOUNCED IN PARLIAMENT LAST WEEK THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL PAY THE FULL COST OF ALL APPROVED BUILDINGS FOR INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS IN THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY AND THE NORTHERN TERRITORY.
POPE PAUL has announced in Rome that if the dreams he has are permitted to become a reality, he hopes to see at least some parts of the vast territory of Australasia and Oceania.
In future, the Government will repay the capital borrowed by schools on new building projects and continue to pay interest charges on the approved capital borrowing. Sir Robert said that before any assistance was given, the Government would have to be satisfied that the proposed facilities were needed. The increased assistance will apply to approved projects built or begun over the next ten years and to some projects now under construction or about to start.
OVER TWENTY YEARS
His Holiness was speaking at an audience on last Monday evening with the Bishops of Australia, New Zealand and Oceania who are attending the Vatican Council.
Under the new scheme announced, capital payments will be made by equal instalments over 20 years. In New South Wales, the Liberal Government is rumoured to be considering extending its State aid to independent schools by paying, for their new buildings. The Premier, Mr. Askin. said he intends to study the Commonwealth's new plan for approved independent school buildings in the A.C.T. and Northern Territory. Commenting on Sir Robert's statement in Parliament, Monsignor E. C. Favier. the acting Adminstrator of the Canberra-Goulburn Archdiocese, said that Canberra Catholics welcomed the new capital assistance. He said that because of the large increase in population in Canberra, there have been greatly increased costs of buildings, staffing and maintining Catholic schools, which educate a quarter of Canberra's children.
