Policies needed ‘to support talk’
Political reporter The Government’s “turnround on exporting” has been welcomed by the Opposition spokesman on trade and industry, Mr Philip Burdon. He was referring to the outcome of the recent meeting of the Prime Minister, Mr Lange, with farming and manufacturing leaders. Such talk amounted to meaningless platitudes unless supported by positive Government policies, he
said. The Government should take note of the call by Federated Farmers for a more stable exchange rate, lower inflation, urgent port reform and lower Government spending, Mr Burdon said. While anyone could reduce inflation by driving an economy into deep recession, it was another matter altogether to instil the appropriate confidence to generate genuine export-led growth.
