Whaling Venture Held Up in Australia
Australis plans to raise £500,009 profit from 18,000 tons of whale oil in the first season but the Commonwealth has refused permission to form a £3 million company. The proposed syndicate led by Mr Sizer notes prior ministerial ties and says the government delay blocks progress, with the factory ship order stalled and no Capital Issues Board approval. The Prime Minister and Mr Dedman discuss policy and quotas under the International Whaling Convention.
