MINISTER ASPERSED
REMARK BY INTERJECTOR MUTUAL APOLOGIES FOLLOW (By Tel°f r »nh,—Prpac \s«rirlat!on) WELLINGTON, Thursday A remark by an interjector led to a brief incident, at a meeting addressed by the Minister of Labour, the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, in St. Anne’s Hall, Northland, to-night. At the time the Minister was comparing the treatment of pensioners under the Labour Government with that under the Coalition Government, and said nobody in New Zealand had had a reduction in pensions under the present Government. An Interjector: There are. I know it. You know that is a lie. Mr Armstrong: Don’t you tell me that, or I will poke you in the nose. The incident closed with mutual apologies.
