What The Candidates Say

Pirates If the radio pirates had called their boat the Keith Jacka Maru they would not have had half so much trouble.—Mr N. E. Kirk (Labour, Lyttelton). Farmed Farmers misguided enough to waste their votes hoping for either a Labour or Social Credit Government would most certainly be farmed. — Mr A. D. Dick (National, Waitaki). Heavy Head Even a new-born baby in New Zealand comes into this world with a debt of £4BO on its head. Is it any wonder a new-born baby can’t hold up its head?—Mr M. McConnell (Social Credit, Selwyn). Backward Look When I was in Asia recently several of the top Asian politicians asked me how Mr Nash was. They still think he is the Prime Minister. If this is the impact of New Zealand’s leadership overseas then Lord help us.—Mr R. L. Bailey (Labour, Heretaunga).

Insult The president of the Federation of Labour (Mr Skinner) said New Zealanders were not going to work alongside Japanese on the Auckland harbour bridge. How do we do business with the Japanese if we insult them?—Mr C. C. A. McLachlan (National, Selwyn). Sutcli And I Dr. W. B. Sutch and I don’t often present the same platform but we agree that New Zealand seems more concerned about building arterial roads out of cities than relieving over-crowded classrooms and underpaid teachers. —Mr J. J. Forster (Social Credit, Fendalton). Same Story I make no apology for giving virtually the same speech at all my street meetings. I cover the points people are interested in and the ones we think most important. 1 have different audiences and I’m not out to entertain. —Mr E. G. Adcock (Labour, St. Albans). No Choice Vote as individuals, make

your own decisions and vote for competent leadership and a team. If you do that, then you will vote for National.— Mr H. J. Walker (National, St. Albans). Joining Banks create money out of nothing. It’s a lovely racket. We are going to do it ourselves.—Mr C. E. Cullen (Social Credit, Riccarton). Banned Only the Communist Party has a fundamentally different policy—one of socialism internally and opposition to American imperialists’ wars internationally. That is why the Communist candidates are banned from the radio and Tv. Mr J. A. Manson (Communist, Porirua). Stew Don’t be led up the garden path by those who say we should let the Government stew in their own juice, because brother, if there is any stewing to be done you can bet your bottom dollar it will be you who does the stewing. —Mr H. L. J. May (Labour, Porirua).

Pudding

The Labour Party is like a steam pudding that looks so light and tempting but plays havoc with your digestion for three years.—Mrs M. B. Quinn (National, Auckland Central). Pills

We need more immigration, more people; but they have introduced the pill. I can’t understand it. —Mrs L. W. Thomson (Social Credit, Christchurch Central).
