Political junkies might enjoy reading this – Sir Robert Muldoon’s report on the 1984 General Election. A friend found it sorting through some old papers. Sir Rob seems to blame everyone but himself for the loss!

A couple of extracts:

The media were uniformly hostile. Journalists today are trade unionists first and professionals second, with very few exceptions.

And:

The Board of BCNZ, every-one of whom was appointed by the National Government, including one Dominion Councillor, have been a bitter disappointment as has the Chairman. They have totally failed to eliminate political bias from their employees.

Red Radio, even back then!
