Rabbit-farming proposals ‘straight to P.M.’
Any further proposals for; rabbit farming m New Zea-], land should go straight to the;, Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon), ■ said a rabbit-farming advo-! cate, Mr R. N. Bromley, at J a meeting in Christchurch i 1 last evening. Too much “bad advice” on i 1 such proposals had been given p to previous Ministers of Agri-!' culture by pest destruction i • boards, Mr Bromley said. Ap-. pealing directly to Mr Mui-11 idoon would sidestep , such i I pressure a little, he said. I
I About 50 people attended | the meeting, held at the Harewood Hall. i In a letter to “The Press,” ■ Mr D, W. Shaw, the chairman of the Domestic Rabbit Farming Promotion Commitjtee, alleged that Mr Bromley had attempted to deny the i right to attend a public meet- - ing. j At last evening's meeting, I Mr Bromley said it was by i invitation only, and that members of the committee had no
right to be there, as they were not invited. Two members of the committee, from which Mr Bromley recently resigned as chairman, stood outside the hall and handed a prepared statement to all those attending the meeting. A member of the committee travelled to Wellington yesterday for discussions with the Pest Destruction Council on the question of commercial rabbit farming.
