The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday, April 4, 1987 Page 4 3 Regulations will stifle that touch of Paris Aiist envoys face CBT Y8LC inquiry which will conduct the investigation on behalf of several government departments. Mr Hayden's office said last night they expected the issue to be resolved with a formal hearing before the middle of this year. As many as 20 staff members of the Embassy in Indonesia were initially under investigation since the car sales racket was uncovered late last year. Three Embassy officials were brought back to Australia earlier this year to help the Department of Foreign 'Affairs with its investigations. Two methods were apparently used to beat the Indonesian regulations.

One involved using false purchase documents to circumvent the Indonesian Government's two-year no-sale regulation on duty-free vehicles imported by Embassy staff. Another method involved a-Jakarta businessman paying an Embassy staff member the amount required to import a duty-free vehicle. When the two years were up the businessman then paid an additional premium of $30,000 or more. According to; a report on the Seven network last night a total of 33 cars were purchased and disposed of by Australian Embassy officials between October 1983, when import regulations were changed, and December 1986. Almost all of these transactions were legal, according to government sources.

Under the Public Service Act the maximum penalty is dismissal if an officer is found guilty of misconduct. Under the Crimes Act such action could bring a heavy fine or a jail sentence of up to seven years. It is believed that the Australian Federal Police will now only become involved if any of the Embassy officials being investigated decide to resign. The Indonesian Government has co-operated fully with the Australian Government's inquiries because it is anxious to punish members of its own office who are believed to have been involved. Australia's relations with Indonesia have been strained since the publication of articles in The Sydney Morning Herald last year detailing the wealth of President Soeharto.

By PATRICK WALTERS and MARY LOUISE O'CALLAGHAN CANBERRA: The Federal Government is expected to take action under the Public Service Act against three Australian diplomats alleged to have been involved in a car-selling racket in Indonesia. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Hayden, decided this week to launch a formal investigation into the racket carried on at the Australian Embassy in Jakarta. Those involved in the racket were said to be making between $20,000 and $35,000 profit on the sale of cars. In a bid to smooth relations with Indonesia, Mr Hayden has rejected the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr Ian Temby, that a prima facie case existed against the Embassy officials under the Crimes Act. Mr Hayden wants to resolve the issue as soon as possible and believes that the investigation by the Federal Police would only unduly delay proceedings.

The secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Dr Stuart Harris, appointed a senior government official to head the By STAN DENHAM i The Premier's grand vision of a cosmopolitan Sydney as the Paris of the South Pacific is already in danger of failing because of the City's antiquated local government regulations. Despite the Premier's far-sighted dream, council officers are still regularly cracking down on city businesses for minor infringements of the Local Government Act. Victims include the pocket-sized Bar Coluzzi coffee shop in Victoria Street, Darlinghurst, and fruit barrows in Oxford Street, just a stone's throw from Taylof Square and part of the strip Mr Unsworth sees as a showcase for tourists. The city's bureaucrats came in for criticism yesterday from the managing director of the ABC, Mr David Hill, who in defiance of council orders, pulled up a small plastic stool outside the Coluzzi bar to chat to the TV personality Gordon Elliott and the retired boxer Tony Mundine. Mr Hill, Mr Mundine and Mr Elliott are regulars at the Coluzzi bar along with a sprinkling of other well-knowns, scores of city cab-drivers and hundreds of 9-to-5 office workers.

A camera crew from 60 Minutes, which is doing a profile on Mr Hill, was on hand for a glimpse at how he starts his day. The proprietor, Luigi (GiGi) Coluzzi, a former Australian middleweight boxing champion, sang for the cameras. Mr Hill has thrown his weight behind Mr Coluzzi's campaign to be allowed to put small plastic stools on a section of the footpath outside his shop to handle the overflow in the morning. "I've been coming here for nearly 10 years now, and I find it ironic that at the time the council chooses to stop people having a cup of Medical, discharge The former head of the NSW CIB, Mr Bob Bradbury, who was found guilty on misconduct charges late last year, has been discharged from the force on medical grounds. Mr Bradbury was demoted in December from chief superintendent to superintendent after an internal police inquiry found him guilty of acting improperly in his handling of payments to police informers.

Theiurns were not serious and after treatment by a doctor, the assistant returned to work.

Dangerous sugar The sugar refiner CiiR Ltd has issued an urgent recall for 112 500-gram packets of brown sugar suspected to be contaminated with glass fragments up to one centimetre in diameter. The packets, with the packing codes "PKD 31 Mar 871" and "PKD il MAR 872" printed on them, were sold in Coles stores in rural centres south of Sydney and in the ACT over the past three days.

He made his remarks in a letter to the Confederation of Australian Industry.

does it entitle the Tax Office to use the agency to obtain details of the financial affairs of taxpayers." The executive member of the NSW Privacy Committee, Mr Jim Nolan, says the the move has raised serious privacy issues. He says there is now an obligation on the Government to make people aware that applications for credit could also draw the attention of the Tax Office'. There was a need for strong privacy legislation which would empower a privacy commissioner to monitor the Tax Office's use of private data banks.
