“But obviously there is room for Australia and Netv Zealand to co-operate over trading on other markets,”.he said, “Thus, we could complement each
other’s effort rather than compete undesirably. Mr Eckersley thought prospects for economic cooperation between Australia and New Zealand’s own' markets were . also good, so long as both countries were sensitive to anv antagonism an agreement might prvoke.
