Hordes of the East

Hordes of the East

With a highly charged oratorical outburst O'Brien emphasised that Europe was the last bastion between the hordes of the East and the New World, and that there was nobody better suited to act as the buffer than the inferior European.

Bromby, second for the negative, pointed out that Europeans brought higher standards of living and skill to New Zealand, hence they were valuable economically and socially.
