SPIR exclusion claim
PA Auckland The organisation for sporting freedom, SPIRNew Zealand, claimed at the week-end that the Government deliberately excluded its members from meeting the visiting United Nations anti-apartheid
official, Major-General Joseph Garba. A spokesman, Mr Pat Hunt, said he was outraged that the pro-South Africa rugby tour group should have been treated in such a way. “We did not expect the Government to show such bias in arranging discussions with Major General Garba,” he said. “He publicly expressed a wish to talk with us, so it is unfair that he meets only anti-tour groups.” Mr Hunt said members would approach the Minister of Recreation and Sport, Mr Moore, and the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Palmer, to try to arrange a meeting before Major General Garba left New Zealand.
