FOR MEDIA 13 FEBRUARY 1990
Discussions between my Ministers and the Victorian
Government on the forests of East Gippsland have at all
times been on the basis of commitments regarding job
security and security of resource for the forest industries.
I confirm the following undertakings:
S Any agreement reached by the Commonwealth with the
Victorian Government will be on the basis of the
implementation of that agreement causing no loss of
jobs; and
S All of the contracts between the Victorian Government
and the industry will be honoured.
Should the industry or the unions at any time believe that
the implementation of any such agreement has resulted in job
losses, I would be happy to meet with representatives of the
industry and its employees to discuss their concerns.
Furthermore, my Ministers will consult with the industry and
the trade union movement on the processes for giving effect
to any agreement reached with the Victorian Government.
