BOLGER NAT PARTY
About 28 people attended a public meeting for the King Country Electorate at Ruapehu College, Ohakune last Wednesday evening at which the sitting member Mr Jim Bolger was guest speaker. "Last night 1 stated in Rangiora that after one week in this election campaign the key issue was 'credibility'. The . Labour Party is running a campaign based on the principle of 'the big lie\ The theory is that if you tell a big enough lie often enough you can get away with it. Labour's first big lie of this election campaign is that New Zealand is in trouble with our overseas debt. The claim has been demolished by information contained in a survey produced by Morgan Guaranty Trust. The second of Labour's 'big lies'is that one school leaver in five goes on the dole - the clear implication being that 20 percent of school leavers are destined for a life on the dole. A consistent campaign theme oi the Labour Party this election, has been the endeavour to discredit the financial management of Rob Muldoon by not telling the truth about New Zealand's economic performance. The true facts are that the New Zealand economy is strong.
