Dear Sir,
It has been brought to our notice that a recent issue of Salient contained a rather incoherent rave letter on the subject of homosexuality by one Richard G. Wardle. He implied that he was a member of Young Nationals and the Christian Union, and that these organisations supported him.
On behalf of Young Nationals I can assure readers, our policy here is quite clear. Young Nationals (and the National Party Conference) are in favour of legalisation of homosexual activities between consenting adults in private.
We in no way support Mr Wardle's sentiments and he is not a member of Young Nationals.
