President talks to Young Nats
PA Auckland If the Labour Party president, Mr J. P. Anderton, felt out of place at a meeting of Young Nationals last evening, he was not showing it: He enjoyed a drink and a joke with Dr Donald Brash before going on to address the Young Nationals at a meeting that was not open to the public. Dr Brash, the National candidate for East Coast Bays last year who was narrowly defeated by Social Credit's Mr G. T. Knapp, also addressed the meeting, with Mr Martin .Gummer. another former National candidate. In spite of advice from senior party members that the meeting should not go ahead, the Auckland chair man of the Young Nationals, Mr Scott Simpson, said before the meeting, “Young Nationals are mature and broad-minded enough to at least listen to opposing points of view.
"We. are not an organisation that is into personality and confrontation politics. We involve ourselves with rational discussion of issues facing young New Zealanders,” he said.
