PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 11 January 1983
Attached are copies of the letters sent today by the
Prime Minister to State Premiers and the Chief Minister
of the Northern Territory.

The Prime Minister has decide to lease his family home at Sandringham, in Melbourne, from later this month.

The experience of the last 9 months has demonstrated that it was only possible to spend a relatively few days in Melbourne and this could not justify the need for expensive and continuos security by the Australian Federal Police at the house. 

On future visits to Melbourne Mr and Mrs Hawke will stay at a hotel where necessary.

Mr Hawke said the leasing of the house did not mean he would be spending any less time in Melbourne
