Higher salaries
Sir,—May I forestall any criticism of Mr Muldoon’s receiving soon a salary of $79,700. Any Prime Minister governing a country having in it such obstinate characters as .Mr Justice Manon needs all the money he can get. In having Mr Muldoon as Prime Minister there is one very great advantage. However shameful his behaviour, we need never anticipate his resignation. As we are unlikely to see his partydefeated under the present system in this parody of a demo-
cracy, there will be no need for taxpayers to give him a golden handshake of a couple of million dollars as a token recognition of his signal and sempiternal services to the nation. I write in my capacity as a non-trendy wingless, featherless, but not yet toothless academic biped. .— Yours, etc.,
A. R. CRAWFORD. January 30, 1982.
