Skewed outlook

I thoroughly applaud the sentiments contained in Malcolm Fraser’s article, “Only the best will do for our capital development” (Perspective, 17 November).

However, despite his previous distinguished record, Mr Fraser allowed himself to become involved as one of the architects of the late, unlamented “Caltongate” development, which rather undermines the points about the evils of compromise he makes in the article.
