Mrs Kerens angry with Mr Muldoon
The Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) “used her name" in one of the worst “pieces of political propaganda yet to come from the National Party.” said the Labour member of Parliament for Lyttelton, Mrs Ann Hercus. yesterday. Mrs Hercus condemned Mr Muldoon’s allegations, made at a rally in Kapiti on Friday, that Labour planned to impose extra tax oh National Superannuitants with extra income. Mr Muldoon “quoted” Mrs Hercus during the rally as having made this promise. “Labour will, in fact, give tax cuts to every superannuitant, the largest percentage tax cut going to those senior
citizens who have no other income,” said Mrs Kerens. Mr Muldoon was trying to “frighten National Superannuitants with totally false and malicious nonsense,” said Mrs Hercus. “That makes me angry.” “I am also appalled that in order to scare senior citizens, the Prime Minister can dredge up an ' 18-month-old radio interview, take what I said out of context, and grossly distort it to suit his own purposes. “I challenge the Prime Minister to publish the whole of that radio. transcript for everyone to see," Mrs Hercus said. “Once again the Prime Minister’s credibility is in tatters."
