Quite Right.
A remit affirming the desirability of paying the Leader of the Opposition in the House a salary of £ 1000 a year was before the Canterbury Provincial Conference of the Farmers’ Union. It was rejected with much emphasis, however, the president remarking that when the proposal was before the last Colonial Conference it met with scant sympathy. Apart from other objections, many delegates thought the Opposition Leader might find the position too comfortable and well-paid, and therefore hob-nob with the Premier with a view to avoiding trouble.
