LAUNCHING OF A NEW RECORDING BY THE AUSTRALIAN CHAMBER ORCHESTA
Mr. Chairman, members of the Orchestra, and ladies and
gentlemen, I am delighted to have been asked to come here
tonight to launch the new recording of the Australian
Chamber Orchestra. The main reason I am pleased to be here

quality has become so widely recognised in Australia and
wherever it has visited overseas.

I understand that Mr. Derryn Hinch, in his radio programme
this morning, siated that the Minister for Business and

Mr. Moore '-as assured me that, since he became a Minister
last Nova-J. er, he has not personally held any shares in any
