Ex- Young Nat Exposes Muldoon

Ex- Young Nat Exposes Muldoon

Dear David,

The Rt. Hon. Roberts Muldiesloon used a number of well proven propaganda techniques officer) resume of the economic his think tank, or his research officier) resume of the economic situation (fast reaching crisis proportions) in last week's episode.

Looks at all the figures he gave us, GNP's and consumer price increases everywhere, inflation and many more. But he thoughtfully omitted things like STB. interest rates for loans and other vitalities, too many to mention: His many bold assertions (like "The financial position of senior citizens will be markedly improved!) were not backed what all. (What sort of argument was he putting — bloody hollow).

He didn't state our unemployment figures, but saw fit to compare them to USA, Canada, Australia and the UK, who gives two shits for their unemployment what about ours.

He said things like "much greater emphasis on... marriage guidance, in family planners!! but at the same time to cut social welfare payments to solo mums for the first six months, and to pass legislation restricting abortions.

I feel really pissed off about this and could write for hours, so I'll end here with a comparison of my own. That our dear beloved PM is as much alike Amin as textbooks are to the library (which should open longer on Friday nights).

Yours

Pissed off ex-young Nat.
