 DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
Although Holyoake was acting prime minister whenever Holland was overseas, and in recognition of this was made a privy counsellor in 1954, only after the 1954 election was he formally designated deputy prime minister, the first to receive the title.
Holyoake made his government’s stand an issue in the 1966 general election; it was one on which he could readily boom his commitment to taking the right course and to opposing communism.
Holyoake’s term was limited to three years, not the normal five, thereby expiring during the term of whatever government was elected in 1978.

Holyoake refers to Waitangi as "..the birthplace of our nation.." Cobham talks of the celebrations as a stage "..in the long and coloured pageant of English colonial history." Such poetic language would have the effect of making the celebration seem important and of manipulating audiences into honouring the occasion.
The treaty of Waitangi has increasingly become a context which has the potential to split audiences.
