PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 12 AUGUST 1988
The Minister for Resources, Senator Cook and the ministerF
for Arts, Sport, the Environment, Tourism and Territories, R
Senator Richardson, will visit Tasmania next Thursday nl
18 August to carry forward the consultations I initiated
yesterday on Tasmanian forestry and conservation issues. T
The Ministers will meet the State Government, the Labor 0
opposition, employers and the trade union movement. t
An agenda of issues for discussion with the Tasmanian
Government is being developed by the two Governments.
The consultations with the various parties are aimed at
achieving the best possible arrangements for creating jobs
through the industry assistance and restructuring package,
by making alternative forest resources available and through
new investments in the forest industries.
Commonwealth officials stand-ready at any time to discuss
these issues with their Tasmanian State counterparts, in
preparation for next Thursday's meetings.
I will be holding a further meeting with Premier Gray soon
after next Thursday's consultations by my ministers.
