Heinrich Arnold Nordmeyer, later known as Arnold Henry Nordmeyer, was born at Dunedin on 7 February 1901, the son of Arnold Nordmeyer, a German seaman who worked on a gold dredge at Alexandra, and his wife, Martha Dunn (née Walker), a widow with three children, who came from County Tyrone, Ulster.

This was fueled by the National Party, which claimed that Nash and Nordmeyer were exaggerating the extent of the problem.
The situation was exacerbated by Nash's frequent absences from the country, leaving Nordmeyer and other Labour ministers to defend the government's policies by themselves.
In 1963, however, Nash finally retired as leader of the Labour Party, and Nordmeyer was chosen to replace him.

Labour lost office in the 1949 elections, failed to capitalise on the Waterfront Strike of 1951, and remained in the political wilderness of opposition until (barely) winning the election of 1957 under the leadership of Walter Nash, the last foreign-born head.
Arnold Nordmeyer's [in]famous Black Budget dashed any hopes of a second term at the election of 1961, and the Party had to await the advent of Norman Kirk (Big Norm) before regaining the Treasury benches in the 1972 elections.
Kirk's death in office left the Party (subsequently led by Bill Rowling) unable to win against the Muldoon landslide in the election of 1975.

 2001 Media Release, University of Otago, New Zealand
Addressing guests at a lecture at Otago University's Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences last night, Helen Clark said that in many respects New Zealand faced health issues similar to those confronted by the Labour Party's forebears elected in the 1930s.
Speaking at the 12th annual Sir Arnold Nordmeyer lecture, Ms Clark said the increase in dental disease and the rising incidence of infectious diseases like meningococcal disease were signs of problems created by the far-reaching changes introduced in the late 1980s and early 1990s that saw many New Zealanders pushed into poverty.
Ms Clark said the Government knew there are significant health inequities but warned that the health system could not cure the problem on its own.
