Summary: New Party (Press, 5 August 1989)
In a letter to the editor published on 5 August 1989, David Shanks critiques claims made by John D. Canham regarding the policies of the Christian Heritage Party. Canham argues that the party promotes Christian values that benefit the majority of New Zealanders, mentioning a commitment to "adequate police protection." However, Shanks points out that Canham fails to elaborate on the party's more controversial policies, which include opposition to abortion, the United Nations Covenant on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the Homosexual Law Reform Act. He questions how these positions align with the interests of the majority of New Zealanders, expressing skepticism about the party's overall agenda.
