National Party meetings
Sir,—Reports of the National Party’s divisional conferences at Auckland and Hunua are alarming. That the United Nations convention on discrimination against women should be thrown out by the Auckland division is entirely expected and reflects the reactionary. Right which abounds in that area. That the Hunua candidate refers to some in his electorate in Otara as “the lowest of the low” reflects the candidate selection system at its worst Neither of these conferences made a whisper of criticism over the way the Minister of Finance personally controls wages, prices, profits and investment. Not a word was heard over the way voluntary unionism legislation has taken us from one extreme to the other and not a word about the mismanagement of our education system. — Yours, etc., GRAEME YARDLEY. May 21, 1984.
