SOCIAL SECURITY
STUDENTS AND THE LEVY.
MR SAVAGE ON “POLITICAL TWIST.”
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, This Day.
The difficulties of students in obtaining exemption from the payment of the social security levy, which has been the subject of comment in Auckland and Wellington. were brought to the notice of the Prime Minister (Mr Savage) this morning. “The best way for people to act is to get in touch with the Ministers concerned,” said Mr Savage. “If there are any contradictions or anomalies it is our job to try to straighten them oui, but if people run to the newspapers for a start it does not seem to be the correct way of doing things. I do not suppose anybody would say that an Act of Parliament of the size and ramifications of the Social Security Act would be free from anomalies and that it was going to run smoothly from the first day. but if people would act reasonably and communicate with the proper quarters they would generally have whatever apparent contradictions there were cleaned up. Curiously enough, the complaints that come to hand seem to have been given a political twist to suit the politics of the people concerned.”
