CALL ON SECRETARY OF STATE BY SENATOR EVANS, AUSTRALIAN MINISTER FOR
FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE: 14 MAY 1990
HONG KONG: INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT
Points to make
-
the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Bill which passed its Second Reading on 19 April has the aim of giving people the confidence to remain in the territory.
- we appreciate that the Australian world wide policy on immigration makes it difficult for you to come up with a scheme of assurances specifically for Hong Kong, but is there any more that you can do?
- sure you realise that it is in Australia's own economic interests
to keep Hong Kong prosperous and stable.
-
hope that the current policy review on Hong Kong that you are conducting will come up with something favourable to maintain the confidence in Hong Kong. Can you go into any details of the review
at this time?
