N.Z. ‘left for dead’
NZPA staff correspondent London Britain has left New Zealand “for dead” in hightechnology, says the Labour member of Parliament for Papanui, Mr M. K. Moore. “We will finish up as a nation of peasant farmers if we are not careful,” he said. Mr Moore, who is in London as the guest of the British Central Office of Information, has been looking at the use of high technology in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. “They have computers in all the schools here,” he said. “In the high technology area you realise how illiterate New Zealand is. We have a hell of a lot of work to do. We have to be looking at knocking tax off computers.” Mr Moore said he was impressed by the work being done by small companies in the high-techno-logy field. Mr Moore said he wanted to see the encouragement of small New Zealand companies in this field.
