The Governor-General, accompanied by Lady Stephen, will leave
Australia later this month to undertake a State visit to
New Zealand. The Governor-General will be away for approximately
one week.
Sir James Ramsay, Governor of Queensland, will administer the
Government of the Commonwealth of Australia during the

FOR MEDIA 7 June 1985
The Government considers it very important that the US
and the USSR continue their present policies of not
undercutting the SALT II agreement, pending the
negotiation of a new agreement providing for significant
reductions in the nuclear forces.
The SALT II agreement signed in 1979 but never
ratified expires on 31 December 1985. Of more
immediate concern is that, in the coming months, the
United States will come up against one of the key sublimits
imposed by the Treaty the ceiling of 1200 on
MIRVed ballistic missiles.

PRIME MINISTER

During his recent visit to Australia, Hu Yaobang
described transport and energy as two major areas of
attention in China's Seventh Five Year Plan.

relevance to China. Ours is a vast continent with
