N.Z. attitudes
' Sir; —Next time someone stands up and declares what a suppressive society the Soviet Uni<jn or any other Communist country is, we should pause and consider what is happening in our own Godzone. This week Gideon Tait, a former police officer, was promoting the lynching of people with whom he disagreed. Later in the week Ben Couch, the Minister of Maori Affairs, stated that he was “damned annoyed” that statistics showing the number of Maori unemployed had been released. Freedom to. disagree and freedom of information are apparently no longer sacrosanct. —■ Yours, etc GARRY A. MOORE, SANDRA PEGG, RALPH KNOWLES. January 9, 1981.
