N.Z. timber dumping allegation check
Parliamentary reporter
New Zealand officials visited Australia last week to discuss allegations that New Zealand timber has been dumped on the Australian market, the Minister of Forests, Mr Elworthy, told Parliament yesterday. Mr Elworthy said in reply to an oral question that he was confident the dumping charges would not be substantiated. It was still possible that the Australian Government would limit the
export of New Zealand
timber. Mr Elworthy said that the demand for timber in Australia had dropped with the downturn in the economy. Some timber firms had closed. It was surprising that New Zealand had been “singled out” for the dumping charge because New Zealand supplied only 4 per cent of the market in Australia, while the United States supplied 15 per cent.
