AID TO FIJI
Australia is to give Fiji two large mobile rock
crushing plants, costing a total of $ 190,000.
Announcing this today, the Special Minister of
State and Minister assisting the Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Senator Willesee, said that the rock crushers
are required by the Ministry of Communications, Works and
Tourism which is responsible for the construction and
maintenance of major roads throughout the islands.
With Fiji placing increasing emphasis on construction
of roads and airfields on outlying islands where roads
surfacing material is not available in natural form, the
shortage of rock crushers is becoming critical and the supply
of two mobile rock crushers by Australia will help overcome
this situation.
