Indonesia has warned that it will permit "demonstrations and other mass actions" against the Australian Embassy if agitation against Indonesian action in East Timor is not stopped.

In another controversial move the Government is believed to have decided to ban sandmining in Myall Lakes National Park. This is despite heavy pressure from unions and the powerful Trades and Labor Council, that mining be allowed because of the possible loss of jobs otherwise. In the woodchip decision the consortium of four companies which has applied for approval will be allowed only to use residue from forest and waste from existing sawmills. No new felling of forests will be allowed.

There will be ho central woodchip plant, with woodebippers being employed at the many commercial sawmills on the coast to convert the waste. However, loading facilities for the exoort of the woodchip will have to be built. Cabinet yesterday did not reach decision on where the loading facilities should be situated. Several ministers, including the Premier, Mr Wran, favour Newcastle, but there is also some pressure to have the facilities built at Coffs Harbour. The Minister for Decentralisation, Development and Primary Industry, Mr Day, is to have negotiations over the next six months with the consortium to work out "satisfactory arrangements." The Cabinet decision also stipulates that the consortium should have majority of Australian ownership.

The decision Is a virtual ratification of the recommendations of a special Cabinet subcommittee established to look into the proposal. Under pressure The committee included the Deputy Premier, Mr Ferguson, the Minister for Planning and Environment, Mr Landa, the Minister for Conservation and Water Resources, Mr Gordon, the Minister for Lands, Mr Crabtree, the Minister for Local Government, Mr Jensen, and Mr Day.

The Indonesian Government is concerned that the allegations could reinforce American criticism of it on the human rights issue, now more prominent in both Congressional and Administration circles. It fears this could result in Congress cutting back on American aid to Jakarta, particularly on military assistance.

It is expected to be bought from Japan and be ready for use in Newcastle by January.

Well, how else- would you describe a roadster with a dickie seat? Cabinet was split over the two issues, and although the Premier and his supporters have stood firm on the sandmining question which the affected companies say will involve a loss of about 120 jobs, the wood-chip decision can be seen as a compromise. The proposal is expected to provide about 300' jobs directly and a number of other jobs indirectly because of ancillary services needed for the loading plant.

"To jeopardise these relations would not have been in Australia's interests and would not have benefited the people of East Timor." Mr Peacock said the Government had inherited a Timor situation which was "already far developed" and that most of the opportunities for exerting influence had passed. "Short of physical interven-tion and I do not think that was contemplated by any sponsible Australian our purchase on the situation was slight," he said.

A telegram, signed by the president and secretary of the Australian Council of Salaried and Professional Associations; the biggest white-collar union group, expressed grave concern that the challenge could only serve to divide the party and undermine its public image: In Sydney leaders from the combined unions and branches steering committee, the strongest left-wing group in NSW, disowned moves within the parliamentary party to get rid of Mr Whitlam. The Queensland branch of the left-wing union, also came out for Mr Whitlam. Individual MPs and senators are also being strongly lobbied by branches and unions to support Mr Whitlam. Mr Bill Hartley, prominent in the Socialist Left in Victoria and strongly pro-Whitlarg, said yesterday that he believed growing support for Mr Whitlam would force Mr Hayden to withdraw his challenge. However, opposing factions within the parliamentary party see little hope of either Mr Hayden's withdrawing or Mr Whitlam's stepping down.

Left-wing support for Whitlam, Page 2. executive positions are thrown open, was not due to be held before May. The challenge, which Mr Hayden announced on Friday night, was not formally discussed at yesterday's meeting of the 20-man parliamentary executive.
