Confidence on C.E.R.
. Wellington reporter The Government was still confident that closer economic relations with Australia would begin on January 1, 1983, subject only to Australian political considerations, said the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) yesterday. He told reporters after yesterday’s meeting of the Cabinet that these considerations were "very real.”. However, they did nothing to alter the date of January 1 as the target date. There was plenty of time. . Asked if the election of a Labour government would set back the C.E.R. arrangement. Mr' Muldoon said it would set back Australia generally.'*
As an item on th’e Australian Government’s agenda, C.E.R. would have to wait until “things settled down.”
