"When doctors argue, patients die" is no truer saying when it comes to a countries economic and financial health. I was 23 when this interview took place and I emigtrated. As it happens, i made the right choice. NZ is a small economy, but with the resources it has, agriculture, steel, and aluminium , dairy, Iron, forestry, unlimited river energy, fishery a country surrounded by the Pacific ocean, tourism, commerce and hospitality, highly trained graduates and food quality reknown throughout the world, . It is hard to grasp why NZers should be suffering under such poverty back then and still today..
I'm an outside observer of New Zealand politics, which I think is fascinating. I find it strange that in the context of this debate, Muldoon, with interventionist views, is from the centre-right conservative party and Douglas, with free-market policies, is from the social-democratic party. Although it seems both parties have reverted back to their more traditional routes since then???
. Sir Roger Douglas, although in a left-wing party always had had far right beliefs. He eventually left the Labour party and established the ACT party, with is a free market approach.
Somewhat. The Labour party (Norman Kirk) before Muldoon was left wing in that it focused more on social issues such as housing, education and health. Muldoon (conservative right) was more into infrastructure and jobs. You could also say he was conservative in that he maintained the status quo. They have reverted back to their older ways but, the reforms done by Roger Douglas are still in and pretty much unchanged.
its more easier to understand in terms that Muldoon was a conservative, in that he wanted conserve society in the way it was economically and socially e.g. keeping the existing interventionist policy economically while also maintaining social polices on gays, race, nuclear and cultural issues. And Douglas was a reformer meaning he wanted to change both the social and economic policies which his government did
It looks like Bev Tavendale who was interviewed in the documentary passed away about 4 years after this was filmed and she was only 49. No age at all. I found the bit where she said she hadn’t been able to treat herself in years a bit sad.

20:30 Rob Muldoon vs Roger Douglas debate. Fascinating stuff.
