NEW ZEALAND TIMBERS
MELBOURNE, June 5,
Representatives of the Brisbane Timber Merchants’ Association and the Northern Rivers Pine Export Association have petitioned Mr Tudor, Minister of Customs, that New Zealand white pine and rimu logs should be placed in category as New Zealand sawn timber, and that smaller cut timber pay a higher duty. They pointed out that New Zealand placed an export duty on logs so as to keep the sawing industry in the country. They therefore that action be taken to combat the importation of small timber, which would compete with the Australian mills. Mr Tudor is considering the request.
