Labour’s ideas called ludicrous
NZPA staff correspondent Washington
The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Muldoon, has described the Labour Party’s new overseas marketing policy as looking as though it had been put together by a public relations consultant
Sir Robert, speaking from San Francisco, here he was the main speaker at a seminar on nis ideas for reform of the world trade and payments system, said very little in the Labour Party policy was new. “What is new is for the most part window-dressing and spending a bit more money,” he said. “The idea of having Federation of Labour people at international fairs borders on the ludicrous — the idea of people presenting Jim Knox, Ken Douglas, and Bill Andersen at an international trade fair to represent New Zealand would, I think, be greeted with guffaws of laughter by most New Zealanders.”
