Summary: The Labour Party (Press, 12 February 1976)
In a letter to the editor published on 12 February 1976, J. F. Garvey expressed concerns regarding the Labour Party's recent appointments of spokespeople and committee roles following the election. Garvey argued that the changes represent only a minor shake-up and do not reflect a significant shift in policies. He highlighted the surprising decision to retain Mrs Tirikatene-Sullivan as the policy spokesman on tourism, suggesting continuity rather than change. Additionally, Garvey noted the unexpected appointment of Dr Wall as spokesman on broadcasting, despite previous speculation that he could be named Minister of Health. Instead, health responsibilities were assigned to Mr Hunt, a former schoolteacher. Garvey voiced particular unease about Mr Marshall's appointment as spokesman on Education, indicating that his leftist views on issues such as homosexual law reform and abortion might cause concern among parents regarding Labour's direction in this key area.
