The tu Advisory Council is taking ps to bring the matter before Administrator and Minister. t is a good example of the lack coordination in Australian icies relating to the encourage- Qt of new industries in Papua w Guinea. Yet the Australian partment of Territories is re ed to be more or less over-run h coordinators and planners.
