Fee ‘unacceptable’
PA Wellington The Government should tell the Broadcasting Corporation that it was unacceptable for it to pay the Rugby Union big sums of public money as fees to cover the proposed Springbok tour games, said the Opposition spokesman on Broadcasting (Mr J. J. Terris) yesterday. “It has become clear that the Broadcasting Corporation is seriously contemplating paying out large sums of money to the Rugby Union in
fees. The Government must cease its ambivalent attitude towards the tour, and especially with respect to the proposed tour telecasts,” he said. He called on the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) > to state the unacceptability, under the Gleneagles Agreement, for a public corporation to pay money to the Rugby Union to help stage a tour to which the majority of New Zealanders were opposed.
