Shane Jones speaks on future of Tokoroa's Kinleith Mill

The Regional development minister won't commit to helping save jobs at Tokoroa's Kinleith pulp and paper mill but said he's sent an official in Japan to meet with company's owner and establish the facts. The Mill plans to stop paper processing next year with 230 jobs going. The Kinleith operation is owned Oji Fibre Solutions, which announced in September that it was closing its operation at Auckland, partly due to high power prices. Two other paper mills in the Ruapehu district have also closed down this year. Regional Development Minister Shane Jones was at a meeting to save the Kinleith mill in Tokoroa, he spoke to Lisa Owen.
