AUSTRALIA’S EXPORT OF STEEL
PREFERENCE TO NEW ZEALAND (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) < SYDNEY, Nov. 7. The Minister of Supply (Mr Howard Beale) told a deputation of Ironworkers that Australia was under an obligation to export some steel to New Zealand in spite of the shortage for home consumption. Most of Australia’s export steel went to New Zealand, but the quantity exported was small in comparison with total output. Exports in 1948, he said, were 8 per cent, of total output, and the export figure this year was about 6 per cent. The deputation drew Mr Beale’s attention to the shortage of sheet bar steel which Broken Hill Proprietary supplied to Lysaghts, resulting in a slow-down in Lvsaght's production, and asked for a stoppage of steel exports because of the shortages in home supplies.
