Liquor advertising
Sir, — Mr J. R. Fletcher, managing director of Dominion Breweries, spoke at the company’s annual general meeting of the need to make the community aware of the contribution that the liquor industry “makes to the New Zealand economy in employment and spin-off activity for other industries?’ Mr Fletcher is absolutely right. It was probably modesty that prevented him from telling his listeners that the liquor trade spends millions of dollars every year to advertise its products in order to ensure that the spin-off activities continue to need new recruits. The liquor industry’s job creation scheme provides work for ambulance drivers, surgeons, nurses, policemen, traffic officers, judges, prison officers, probation officers and undertakers. — Yours, etc CLIFF TURNER, Secretary, r Group Opposed to Advertising of Liquor. August 27, 1983.
