MORRIS' DOLE COMMENT IS NONSENSE

The Newcastle Young Liberals today slammed Allan Morris' comments about the National Textiles workers and their ineligibility for Dole payments, as simply a diversion and a nonsense.

"Although trying to sound concerned for the well-being of the National Textile workers, Allan Morris is simply making a noise because he hasn't had any publicity from the debacle" said Newcastle Young Liberal President, David Williams.

"Labor made a noise that the Government should do something to help National Textiles workers," said David Williams, "and now the Prime Minister has intervened and pledged money to make up for lost entitlements as well as money towards retraining."

"Would Allan Morris be happier if the Government didn't do anything? He seems to think they have now been done a disservice!"

"The National Textile workers are happy to have been given the money. Why is Allan Morris being so ungrateful?" David Williams said.

"Allan Morris seems to think any future problems of the National Textile workers can be solved by just putting them on the dole and covering them up," said David Williams. "Why isn't he talking about jobs or training?"

"Allan Morris is feeling left out because he did nothing to help National Textiles. He's making a noise so he can be heard," said David Williams.
