Scoop
Audio: Radio Adelaide's Kathryn Jensen and
Scoop's Selwyn Manning discuss how Bridgestone's
Christchurch operation announced it would close immediately
after its Australasian counterpart in Adelaide decided to
shut its plant. Also, New Zealand and Malaysia announced
both countries have signed a free trade agreement, being
just another of the South East Asian nations to do so. It is
part of a SEA move to advance an Asia-wide trading block
that includes Australia and New
Zealand.
