In this sense, ho? real bilateral significance of 1988 lies
less iii the ti-a' R-Tnaii fiendshtip expressed during our
ISicentenary thA' in thni0 decision takren then by) our two
Covet rmnents to -r.. rate the CF. R Acireemenit.
And thle real hi. : iIterai significance of 1.990 lies less in tile
reipro-al eXpre qsjln of goodwill on the occasion of your
1.50th anniversaj v of thp. Treaty of Waitanigi than in thle fact
that on I July I ' tin yenr, as a result of that 1988 decision,
we will initiat, ful free trade of goods across tile Tasman.
FPr0i l ts tilep t -nt the CMF ' Fr ade Agro'nen t r oprpseited~ vr a
filtinaental1 chat ' Ie of approach it) our long-term bilateral
economic relatir itship. Trans-Tasmanj trade has growni at an
average annual -ite of J. 4 per cent since theit t~ o over
1A 4 billion in M989. Iiivestmentt has risen from about
$ A billion t) ov..-r SA 10 billion.
rn 39FIR-19 Atisti 0-lin wnp New zeal ani's 1--irocat: soturce of
imports, and thr se-cond -j argest marketl: for New Zealand
exports. Austrt-i. ia re~ mains far and away New Zealand's
largest market I ) r maufactured exports.
In the 1988 revi ~ w of CF. R, we decided to widen it to incluide
most services ft ) m January last year, as well as to bring
forward the achl wvement of fttl~ l free trade ini qoods from
1995, to I July T: his Year.
We are also remo ' ing thle red tape that hinders our economic
development. We are htarmonising business law, customs
policies and pro : edures, and quarantine administration, and
we concluded a n' ' morandum of understanding on technicnl.
barriers to trod,.
We have conitie' oux selves to discussing the scope for at
investment agree tent. Australia will do what it can to
facilitate furth ' r trans-Tasman investment, consistent with
our international treaty obligations.
New Zealand now ' as membership of the Australian National
Preference Agree-tent. This gives New Zealand bidders equal
access with Aust alian bidders to nearly $ A 15 billion of
Federal and Stat' Government purchasing.
All those initia ives indicate the determination at
Government level on both sides of the Tasman for CF. R to
succeed. That e-thusiasm is shared, I believe, by business
leaders anid the 1roader business community who have realised
thle dramatic way in which opportunities have been opened up
and who are in f ct pushing for us to do more and to do it
more quickly.
Operating in a mf re sharply competitive environment is not
necessarily a ma' a comfortable way to do business but I~ t . s
without doubt a iore produictive and, uIttimately, a more
satisfactory one * 1'
