The economy
Sir, — What difference does it make to you and I if Mr Muldoon is up a few points by a poll company’s tests. The economic plight of every New Zealander is jobs, poverty, survival, stress, a mass exodus away f-om the rot of multinationals, armament kings, international money-lenders who thrive on plot and counter-plot war-games and government manipulations for vested interests. You and I are pawns in their global game; our economic survival
depends on how fast the dollar moves and through how. many hands. Mr Muldoon may be a lone tactician but he is no statesman nor a monetary reformist. We have been led into the wilderness. We do not have to stay there. Let us as one; unified country make certain we buy only New Zealand goods and we boycott unnecessary imports. We seek out and promote monetary reform and inject leadership and I am backing New Zealand with a caring-sharing Government. — Yours, etc., GRAEME STANLEY. February 20,1980.
