DECLARATION OF THE OTTAWA SUMMIT
The Government welcomes the willingness of the members
of the Ottawa Summit to participate in preparations for
global negotiations, and their agreement on the need for
constructive and substantive discussions between developed
and developing countries.
By its recognition of the reality of interdependence and of
common interests, its commitment to substantial assistance,
and its awareness of the need to increase public
understanding of the need for aid, the Ottawa Summit has

SYDNEY AIRPORT
I am very disappointed indeed to see Mr Wran's reply to the
Commonweal-z. oroposals to meet the future aviation needs of Sydney and
the whole of New South Wales.
Because of the pressure of growth in this city and of air
traffic, we had proposed that a second parallel runway be
built at Mascot, but that for long term planning a new airport
site be determined -and secured. It will take between 12 and
years to build a new modern international airport for

NATIONAL WAGE HEARING
The doors cf the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission
should always be open and be seen to be open. Members of
the workforce with a case to present should be able to feel
that their case will be heard on its merits.
To make this point is in no way to criticise the Commission.
There is a perception among some unionists that taking claims
before the Com. mission will be fruitless. The Government is
anxious that this feeling should be dispelled.

ELECTORATE TALK
The gover-r~ ent's economic programme is designed to bring about
stable, non-inflationary growth. And the success of this
programme is now recognised around the world. The economy
is buoyant. Prospects for employment are improving. Unemployment
was down ' by 53,000 in the last year, and the June unernDloymentp
rate was the lowest for four years. It is particularly
heartening that there has been a substantial fall inurferployment amongst

BUDGET ALLEGATION'
I repudiate entirely the irresponsible comments on the
A. B. C. last night concerning the leaking of last year's
Budget. The report stating that I was perhaps myself responsible
for providing a reporter with advance information on the Budget
was completely false and scurrilous.
The very sam~ e report carried its own refutation in a statement
from the Treasurer that the Budget " leak" could have only come
from his _ own of fice, theTreasury o-he.. Government printer.

BROADCASTING AND TELEVISION LEGISLATION
The Minister for Communications and myself have made it plain
that there were extensive discussions in the preparatory stages
of the Broadcasting and Television legislation, and so there
should have been. It is Government practice to consult on
legislation where appropriate. As I said in the Parliament
on 5 June, you have to have discussions of highly technical
matters with the proposals in front of you.
