Plus Ca Change...
FTER so many Monday = nights Spent listening to people speaking for the people of New Zealand it was rather pleasant to get back to 2YA’s discussion session Speaking for Ourselves. The panel is new, though wellseasoned, but some of the questions, alas, are as old as radio, and turn up as regularly and insatiably as Hamlet's father’s ghost or a State House applicant, There was, for example, that wellventilated veteran about Freedom and the Modern Child, there was the tried and true New Zealand Characteristics’ question, and two (Development of Secondary Industries and State Control of Armaments) which have the seldomworn look of the second-hand bridal gown. Each member of the panel, eager to win his spurs, dashed valiantly into the fray, and it was not his fault if hig contribution had a familiar ring, since Euclid himself would agree that the number of sides to a question is
strictly finite. I suggest that it is up to -listeners to see that theit brand-new panel is supplied with brand-new questions. Then they can sity back comfortably, and have their viewpoints sharpened for them,
