Mr WHITLAM (WERRIWA, NEW SOUTH WALES) - My question is directed to the Prime Minister. What progress has he made in negotiations with the Prime Minister of New Zealand on the Tariff Board's suggestion made in June last year that Australian shipyards should be enabled to build and repair New Zealandbased ships? I also ask him what progress has been made with the proposal that Australia and New Zealand should preserve the passenger service between the two countries by establishing a shipping line comparable to their jointly owned airline?
