What M.P.s said ‘Galling Labour to account’
Parliamentary reporter
The priorities of the National Party lay in contributing to the better Government of New Zealand and to calling the Labour Government to account, said Miss Ruth Richardson (Nat., Selwyn). The Government has guilt of culpability of the highest order in surrendering the territorial and economic sovereignty of New Zealand. For the Government to pretend that it did not hold the key to economic poli-
cies, but the blame lay somewhere else, was a “Judas job,” she said. The collapse of A.N.Z.U.S. was the oft-declared policy of the Soviet Union, said Mr Doug Kidd (Nat., Marlborough).
The Prime Minister, who had been properly called “the Toast of Moscow,” was the answer to the dream of the Soviet military machine.
The Russians must think the Prime Minister a compliant and obliging fool, and that would do New Zealand no good either, he said.
