N.Z. attitudes
Sir, — Having returned from England after a sixyear absence, I was amazed to find New Zealand in the depths of gloom and despondency. The final leg of my return journey - was on Air New Zealand — a flight on Which I was treated as a babe in arms and received the impression that New' Zealand was the warm, uncomplaining country I had
left six years ago. Wrong. The English. have a reputation for being a nation of moaners but I think New Zealand is vying for the title. Young people, are climbing over themselves to get over the fence to Australia and waiting there crouched, ready to spring back the moment the country shows sighs of sorting itself out.- If these people' came, back and did some of the sorting, out themselves .instead of waiting for New Zealand to either come right or sink into obscurity, it could become the country; that it' has .the potential to be.—,Yours, etc., N.- A, MCDONALD. March 25, 1980. -) •
