ASSISTANCE FOR QUINTUPLETS
Statement by the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon John McEwen
The Federal Government had decided to offer to assist
the Braham family following the birth of their quins, the Prime Minister
( Mr McEwen) said today.
However, the Government would not decide on details
of the assistance until it had conferred with the family to ascertain their
needs. The Government would also confer with the New South
Wales Government in the light of any arrangements the State might be
making. Mr McEwen said was delighted to hear news of the
successful birth of the children. I and my colleagues sincerely hope
that Mrs Braham and the children remain in good health."
