"The Ant" [God Help us]

Dear Salient Workers Collective.

I was down at Parliament waiting to hear our revered PM announce the sort of thing that students really need in these times of record inflation [the National Party economic miracle] [sic]. Alll heard was the news of the 28c per day increase. I was ashamed that New Zealand could produce the sort of PM who could care so little for the real hardship that many students are forced to endure if they wish to continue their education past the stultifying level of Form 7.

I think it is time that the students stood up for their right to a tertiary education free from the worries of how to pay that next board bill. I realise that times are hard but surely it should not be the future wealth of the country, it's university graduates who bear the brunt.

Yours in poverty,

Vedetas.

PS. . . . and Labour are promoting bugger all as well.....
