Future of Hong Kong: Briefing the Australians
Thank you for your letter of 29 March.
The Prime Minister agrees that the
Australians should be given a general briefing about Hong Kong on the lines you suggest and that they should not be given details of the Prime Minister's talks with the Chinese. The Prime Minister thinks it would be unwise to pass too much information to the new Australian Government, since we have, as yet, no idea as to how they would handle information of this kind.
