A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR CIVIL SERVANTS

If you are a civil servant, ask yourself these questions: Have you received from the Fraser Government working conditions equal to conditions outside the service? Do you agree that because of the influence and power of certain union “bosses” the groups they represent should be singled out for special treatment? Do you believe you should be taxed t wice for one benefit? Do you favour the handing out. of “plums” to outsiders, thereby limiting your own prospects of advancement? The Fraser Government, in spite to all its line words, Ims not improved the lot of civil servants, many of whom are under grave economic handicaps. The steady progress toward a State dictatorship gives the State more and more power over its employees, whose prospects of improving their positions are thereby diminished. What New Zealand should aim at is a balanced economy in which an efficient civil service, maintaining the high traditions established in the past, plays its part along with private enterprise in fostering the progress of New Zealand. That is the objective of the National Party which is pledged to correct the legitimate grievances of the civil service, ami ensure a fair deal for All. ’Therefore. Change the Government.
