  Robert Muldoon : Rob Muldoon
Robert David Muldoon (1921 - 1992) served as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1975 to 1984.
The "Muldoon years" now seem like the last gasp of the paternalistic welfare state in New Zealand, with dirigist fine-tuning of the economy by "Mr Muldoon" himself, specialist in mini-budgets.
The final controversy occurred when Muldoon disputed the date at which power should be handed over to the new government - in the meantime, with a devaluation of the New Zealand dollar expected after the handover, the central bank was forced to spend hundreds or thousands of millions of dollars supporting the currency.

Muldoon said the editorials were “defamatory” but took no legal action.
Forbes resigned later in the year, but Star staff, convinced that the board of their then-owner New Zealand News had been pressured by the famously vindictive PM, took action to change that.

Barry Gustafson’s comprehensive biography of Rob Muldoon was launched in the same week that the New Zealand exchange rate sunk to a record low against the US dollar.
Had Muldoon been alive he would have predicted the collapse (although not its exact date), and he would be predicting further turbulence on the world financial markets (as he did before the 1987 sharemarket crash).
Some of Muldoon’s export schemes came on stream after 1984, and there was an export price boom in the early 1990s which gave the temporary impression of a recovery.

This image of Muldoon as dictator is one of the icons of literature in the 1970s and early 1980s.
She had reason to hold this view - Muldoon abused power, and was often an unpleasant person in public (not to mention on the television set in the living room).
The public response to Slaven is recognizably that of Rob’s Mob and the anti-intellectual New Zealander that “Fretful Sleepers” portrays.

 texts- night's black agents: NZ Labour Party since 1984
While a lot of moderately good New Zealanders were drooping and drowsing under the stifling regime of Rob Muldoon, something nasty was being brewed up for them in the inner councils of the political party laughingly known as Labour.
Muldoon may have known he was no risk in freezing wages.

He presided over "Rob's Mob," a pack of viciously stupid, rural anti-intellectual types who prided themselves on not having a tertiary education, being disproportionately religious, and liable to project their own declining standard of living onto social outsiders.
Muldoon's reign ended when his shaky regime finally collapsed due to the courage of Marilyn Waring, National's semiout lesbian Waipa MP.
Despite Muldoon's deposition and demotion, he still haunted his colleagues, even after he passed away in 1993.

I have for many years been waiting the opportunity to make a start on writing about my life as an electrical engineer and inventor, but have been reluctant to do so because of the possible reaction from one formidable individual who was instrumental in causing me untold frustration, ridicule, anxiety, financial problems, and health decline.
With the passing of Rob Muldoon, I now feel more deposed to exposing what he and his regime subjected me to, and the possible subsequent valuable loss to our country as a result.
