'I consider that New Zealand has been very unwise in removing from the broadcasting sphere the competitive element of privately-owned commercial stations," said Mr M. B. Duffy, .a member of the Commonwealth Bank Board, and president of the Federation of Commercial Broadcasting Stations of Australia, m an interview in Wellington. "The effect of the dual system of Government-owned and privatelyowned stations has been to improve vastly the programmes all round in Australia, and I am sure a similar state of affairs would have been the case in New Zealand if allowed to develop," he said. "After my last visit to the United States and. to England, I came home convinced that the Australian system was the happy combination of the systems adopted in the two countries,, one unrestricted competition and the other no competition under a Government board."
