JOURNALIST: Will you be making any attempt to..
Senator Graham Richardson to stay in politics after 1993?
PM: Well, I'd certainly like to see Graham staying as
long as possible. He's brought a very unique quality I
think. He came in with the reputation, deservedly, of a
good hard numbers man, and a commitment to winning power
for the Party in New South Wales and federally. That
was the image that he brought and it was a justified one.

Maxwell's attempt to buy into The West Australian?
PM: Don't think it will be successful.
JOURNALIST: Why not?
PM: Because it we've given an indication quite
clearly in the past of our attitude on these matters.
I'll obviously want to have a yarn with Paul about it,
but we've been at one on our thinking on this issue.

my position, no retreat. There seems to be a complete
incapacity to understand the very simple propositions which
