SALE OF WOOL
Sir,—New Zealand woolgrowers are vitally interested to know that in a ballot Australian woolgrowers rejected the Government scheme for a continuation of J.O. The contributory charge collected will be returned to the growers. Wool profits have already been paid to growers in Australia. When he is in Christchurch this week, could you ask Mr Holyoake, as Minister of Agriculture, to explain why the woolgrowers in New Zealand are not going to enjoy the same democratic right of ballot on the scheme as has been enjoyed in Australia. To state that the Government has consulted the woolgrowers’ representatives would be merely begging the question. To the majority of us the Electoral College and members of the Wool Board are entirely unknown, nor have they consulted us about anything. It is time these democratic rights were conceded to. the wool, growers here, who, after all, provide a most important part of the country’s economy.—Yours, etc., GRAZIER. August 27, 1951.
