Govt "U-turn’ welcomed
Wellington reporter
The Opposition’s education spokesman, Dr Lockwood Smith, has welcomed the Government’s “U-turn” on teacher housing rentals, but said such changes had become a regular event. The Minister of Education, Mr Goff, was “flip-
flopping” all over the place, he said. "First we had the Student Loan Scheme that was off, on and now may be off again, the U-turn on the Correspondence School’s adult roll, and now teacher house rentals.” Proof that the market
rental system was a shambles had come when the Government set a new rent on a house in Marlborough Street, Greymouth, which was last occupied more than five years ago, he said. That house had been demolished three years ago.
