Vote ‘solves nothing’
PA Wellington The referendum in New Caledonia had solved nothing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Marshall, has said. A significant proportion of the New Caledonian nonulation had not ex-
pressed its views, and many indigenous Kanaks had stayed away from voting booths because of the "unfair” basis on which the referendum was framed, he said. Officials in New Caledonia said that at the
close of the polling booths at 5 p.m. (local time) 58.35 per cent of the territory’s 84,347 electorate participated in the poll, in which voters were asked to decide if the territory should accede to independence.
