Skills go overseas
Sir, — Two reports which appeared in the same issue of "The Press” (December 21) are thought-nrovoking. One report stated that the migration exodus from New Zealand is comprised of well educated and professionally Qualified men and women (44% university | educated compared with a national
average of 5%). The other report, said that a new public opinion poll, conducted in Auckland, of course, shows rapidly increasing support for the National Party and its policies. Can we, therefore, draw the conclusion that our population in a few years time will consist almost entirely of semi-illite-rates all voting solidly Muldoon'? What a prospect for the new decade. — Yours, etc., R. L. PLUCK. December 22, 1979. [The poll is conducted nationally — not in “Auckland, of course” — as many of the results show. — Editor.]
