PRESS RELEASE

Grey Power Strongly Supports The Government Proposal

Grey Power strongly supports the Government proposal to ban the use of hand-held devices while driving. We only question why it has taken so long and why it will not come into force for several months. Our Membership has been deeply concerned about this escalating problem, as evidenced by the unanimous passing of two Remits at our April 2008 AGM urging the Government to ban these devices while driving.

We urge the Government to fast-track the implementation of this proposal.

Gordon Campbell: On The Political Panic Over Immigration

In the wake of WW2, immigration policy was driven by a mixture of compassion for the refugees of war, and by a less admirable desire to replenish our ranks (preferably) with the racial stock of the old Empire. Ever since the neo-liberal reforms of the 1980s though, immigration has been treated as a market transaction in human capital. Its worth has been and judged almost entirely on the basis of the economic benefits that immigration offers to New Zealand.
