King Country electorate, held recently at Kaimata. At a well attended meeting Rt. Hon. Jim Bolger and Mrs. Bolger received a warm welcome. Mr Bolger spoke about present day problems and the need to severely restrict government spending. However, there seems to be a spark of optimism as evidence points to an upturn in the economy, he said.
