National shuffle
Sir, — Mr McLay’s actions were essential. Small employers and farmers will be paying for "Think Big” for ever. However, Ruth Richardson’s gaining the “youth’s portfolio” and her support of an immoral minority will have much more dire consequences. Mr Lange also now has the excuse for “reorganisation." We can expect an early election before the chill of rampant inflation, record unemployment, the folding of small businesses and industrial chaos fully takes over. Both parties indulge in selfpreservation. Power unrestrained is always tragic. Government is of and by the people,, but whether for the people depends on how wide awake they are. Labour’s aptitude to create a huge and ever-growing unearning bureaucracy who feed on the worker-producer is real. We must eliminate the parasite. An unproductive or idle person is no better than a dead one, and takes up more room. — Yours, etc., GRAY HENDERSON. Sheffield, February 11, 1986.
