If there is anything more conservative than National Party members, it is. conservative Labour Party members. ■Could the Attorney-General advise whether Mr Molineaux and Mr Muldoon are technically breaking the law; namely the Security In-, telligence Service Amendment Act, by issuing names of people collated under the terms of the act? — Yours, etc., ■ ? ’' '■?...
