Mr Baume’s Visit
Sir, —Thank you for the information that the New Zealand taxpayer is paying for Mr Eric Baume’s holiday. I am aware that Mr Baume was born in New Zealand; are we expected to be proud of that? Mr Baume claims to have been educated at the Waitaki Boys’ High School. It would be interesting to know what that celebrated school thought of Mr Baume’s statement that politicians were afraid of wowsers, and that New Zealanders drank like pigs. Are we to believe that is the kind of language taught . t the Waitaki Boys’ High School? Mr Baume did not hesitate to come to an uncivilised country, though he knew the taxpayer was forced to pay his expenses. If a referendum was taken in New Zealand on who was to pay for Mr Baume’s holiday, there would be no doubt about the result.—Yours, etc., A TAXPAYER. January 17. 1966.
