He had been asked what the estimated landed cost of L.P.G. from Australia to the South Island was and how it compared with the Kapuni price paid by South Island consumers. Mr Birch said the landed price of Australian L.P.G. was not known, nor did he know w’hether any of the Australian gas could be made available to New Zealand. Australia produced 1.6 million tonnes of L.P.G. a year. A quarter of this was used in Australia and the remainder was exported, mainly to Japan.
