The limited economic data that have become available since
the September IPAC meeting are broadly consistent with the

JOURNALIST: Mr Hawke, do you'have any comment on the Pilots
Federation applying to the Industrial Relations Comission to

OSBORNE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA 16 NOVEMBER 1989
Ten years ago, if someone had said that the Prime Minister
and the Premier would be today opening a $ 4.6 billion
submarine project here in Adelaide, that person would
probably have been laughed out of the ring.
It just wasn't conceivable.
Australia was still debating the defence capabilities it
would require for the future. It was far from certain, if
