Competition for skills
Sir,—ln reply to. J. Marshall, I wish to say that people with the training and technical skills required for industry are being lost to Australia because of lack of effective industrial development by the Government which has refused to declare Canterbury a regional development area.- Personal income tax relief is useless with-? out technical salaries that are on a par with executive salaries. Another reason for the loss of industrial technical staff to Australia is the export of materials, e.g. coal and woodchips for processing in other countries.—Yours, etc., ALFRED MADDOCK. March 25, 1981.
