Sir,—l have always believed that one of the great things about New Zealand was the unspoken compact that existed between the cities and the country. We city slickers have always accepted that we would pay a little extra for our telephones and power to ensure that our country cousins are connected to the respective national grids. This Labour Government must have a hidden agenda to destroy everything nice about New Zealand. Certainly it is going to enter the history books as the Government that, over and over again, threw the baby, soap, flannel, towel and talc out with the bathwater. Except that, no doubt, history will be one of those subjects that the sharp, commercially orientated universities will have to discard in this brave new world. — Yours, etc.,
I. R. ORCHARD. September 20, 1989.
