Petrocorp
Sir, — The sale of shares in Petrocorp emphasises the vast difference in styles between Labour and the previous National Government This large national asset was a "think big” project of the previous National Government built with the longterm future of New Zealand in mind; diligently and unpretentiously. Now, however, we have Labour selling the family silver with typical fanfare and the "Petrocorp man” extolling the virtues of this previously muchmaligned "thlnk-bli” project each evening on our TV screens. What hypocrisy! I notice also that the overseas trade surplus just released was caused in no small part by the huge saving In not having to import refined petroleum products, thanks to another "think-big” project which Labour is now strangely silent about — Yours, etc., CHARLES D.
