Mixed reaction to youth unemployment package, Press, Christchurch, 21 December 1982, p 12, https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19821221.2.74:

[...] A co-ordinator for detached youth work in Auckland, Mr Ewen Derrick, said that the way the package was presented gave the impression the Government was acting positively in youth unemployment.

"But it seems to me the package is another recycled exercise and a short-term palliative. I do not see any jobs created for those who are unemployed."
