NASTY TASTE FORECAST
(N Z. Press Association) HAMILTON, Mar. 6. New Zealand might not like the financial medicine that Mr Muldoon as Prime Minister would have to administer when the National Party regained the Government benches in November, said the party’s Raglan electorate chairman (Mr P. M. Hamilton) in his annual report. But the Leader of the Opposition was the only man in ’he country who could stop the huge erosion of New' Zealand’s overseas funds and the gigantic escalation of inflation, said Mr Hamilton.
“We may not like his medicine but just remember all good medicine has a nasty taste to start with, when the country’s financial sickness improves, so will the medicine.” But at Nelson, the Speaker of the House and district member of Parliament (Mr Whitehead) said that Mr Muldoon was one of Labour's biggest assets as it faced the coming election campaign. The emphasis on the political scene was shifting from party politics to people, said Mr Whitehead.
