LITTLE INFORMATION
KNOWLEDGE OF NEW ZEALAND. PAROCHIALISM OF AUSTRALIA. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. “The thing that distressed me while I was at Melbourne was the poor supply of information regarding New Zealand in Australian newspapers,” said Mr. D. G. Sullivan, M.P., when he was interviewed on his arrival by the Monowai from the centenary celebrations. As a matter of fact the Australians, both the Press and the public are not interested in New Zealand. Some people at Melbourne and in Western Australia think New Zealand is a suburb of Sydney. “It amounts to a positive scandal. X don’t know at which end the fault lies, but I would not be surprised to find it was due to the Australian end, because of Australian parochialism. That is to say it may be due to the same thing as the fact that the Sydney Press and public takes very little interest in Melbourne and that applies to any of the other cities.”
