E EO PROOF ONLY
JOURNALIST: Prime Minister Hawke, the Koreans set a very
high standard with their Olympics, can Australia match
it or do even better?
OPM: I believe we can. Its certainly true that our friends
here have, as you correctly say, set a standard of excellence.
We can learn from that and I am very pleased to say that
President Roh has indicated that anything he can do to
help us, if we are successful and perhaps in becoming
successful he will do.
JOURNALIST: Sir, are you concerned that Mr Greiner has
already set his face against the Housing Conference?
PM: Mr Greiner has got enough problems in his own state
with the decay of his own administration. I think he
ought to concentrate fully on that.
