Summary: N.z. Post (Press, 10 November 1987)
On 6 November 1987, L. A. H. Bogren expressed their frustration regarding the closure of post offices identified on a list by Minister of Post and Telecommunications, Roger Prebble. Concerned citizens had mobilised to organise petitions advocating for the retention of these post offices. Bogren noted that despite their efforts, they believed the current government, led by Prime Minister David Lange, would not respond to the petitions. They recalled a previous incident where a petition with over half a million signatures protesting the legalisation of sodomy was ignored by both major political parties. Bogren lamented that it was primarily the elderly who would be affected by these post office closures, suggesting that the government seemed uninterested in the concerns of older citizens. They cynically remarked that it appeared Prebble was advising the elderly to stop complaining, reflecting a broader sentiment of disenfranchisement among that demographic.
