PM Transcripts

TRANSCRIPT OF DOORSTOP, TREASURY PLACE, MELBOURNE, 17
NOVEMBER 1989
B 0 2 PROOF ONLY
JOURNALIST: Mr Hawke, do you'have any comment on the Pilots
Federation applying to the Industrial Relations Comission to
be a respondent to the IPEC award?
PM: about any of that area is my profound amazement at

which is a repitition of what I've said all along. That is
to enunciate clearly what apparently hasn't been enunciated
by their own Federation to the pilots about the possible
role of the AFAP in the Commission. That has been laid down
explicity by the Commission in its decision and an
opportunity has always been there provided they abide by the
conditions of the Commmission. It's amazing to me that
JOURNALIST: inaudible
PK: understand thisf haven't understood the position
that's been quite clear.
