Government Policy
Sir, —Does John Forster maintain his family on beer, tobacco and petrol? If some people were duped by the argument that taxes on these commodities imposed a hardship on workingmen’s families they have a very twisted idea of what enters into family economy. Increased charges on medical and postal services, for electric power and the abolition of food subsidies would cause more hardship than any tax on beer. May I also ask John Forster what specific monopolies Mr Nash encouraged?—Yours, etc.. A. F. PALMER, Waimate. May 14, 1961.
