Students reject Rodger
PA Dunedin The Otago University Students Association today called for the Minister of Labour, Mr Rodger, not to be re-selected as the Labour Party’s Dunedin North candidate for next year’s election.
About 100 students attending a Student Representative Council meeting at the University Union voted unanimously for Mr Rodger not to be reselected because he had broken promises to students on the cost of tertiary education, the council chairman, Mr David Farrar, said. The council sets policy for the association and endorsed the following motion: “That the association call on the Dunedin North Labour electoral selection committee, or remnants thereof, not to select Stan Rodger as the Labour Party candidate for Dunedin North as he has broken election promises and assurances given to ithe student body in early July, 1987.”
