Column Comment
Local body elections have had a pathetic turnout - in Auckland 34%. Papers are calling the electors 'apathetic' and in Auckland attributed this to their being no major issues or disputes in the last three years. The Herald also suggested it was difficult to cover a campaign with 30 local bodies and 400 candidates and this would use 10 of its pages. However it has just printed a 24 page supplement on industry. So, if some newspapers have apathetic readers then the 'might richly deserve them".
