PRE-BUDGET DISCUSSIONS
The Prime Minister, Mr Whitlam, today begins
a three-day series of pre-Budget consultations with
representatives of industry, commerce, unions and
consumer groups. At each session several other Ministers will
join Mr Whitlam. The groups he will meet are:
Monday 18 June: Primary industry; Manufacturing
industry.
Tuesday 19 June: Export Development Council;
Manufacturing Industries Advisory
Council; Australian Mining Industry
Council.
Wednesday 20 June: Commerce group;
Consumer group.
( NOTE: Mr Whitlam is not expected to issue any statements
as a result of the talks. But presumably the
groups attending the consultations will release
information on their submissions.)
