What the S.L gained
Parliamentary reporter
National has published a position paper on the incentives it has put in place for the South Island. Most of the 13-page document is devoted to detailing what National has done during the last 8% years, and
how the South Island has benefited. However, it shows signs of being put together in a hurry. For example, credit is taken for the, Railways providing a 12 per cent margin in favour of northbound goods in ferry charges since 1973 — when
Labour was in office. The document promises to review South Island electricity concessions again in 1985, with the aims of stimulating growth, taking account of the absence of natural gas for industrial use, and using South Island hydro-electricity supplies.
