The Australian Trade Commission announces the arrival of a new head, Mr GT Stine, who has transferred from Parada and will base in Melbourne with duties spanning liaison with federal and state authorities, the commercial community, and information provision to boost postwar British trade. He aims to visit all states, engaging with government and business to rebuild trade relations and study evolving trade legislation.
A fragmentary record shows Mr. McGregor addressing Cairns Chamber of Commerce about postwar policy and overseas trade, with plans for future formal gatherings. The dialogue covers postwar economic cooperation, travel plans within Australia, and calls for broader chamber support across the nation.
