1989: The Palmer Interlude
/

Geoffrey Palmer was the second of the three Labour 4.0 Prime Ministers, taking over after David Lange quit until Mike Moore was deployed to fight the 1990 General Election.

Prime Minister Palmer came romping into the General Election of 1990 with all sorts of winning booster rockets. He would be associated with the new New Zealand, our futuristic new 1990s decade with Sunday Trading and an exciting new media frontier that now would include TV3.

In this episode’s clip we hear from Jim Flynn. Not about his specialty of IQ but on our need for history.

    Would love to know more about making NZ “a truly multiracial society” – do they understand what binds societies together? It isn’t the same as gradual absorption and assimilation.

      They understand very well how to bind a society together. The only thing is that it’s not going to be your kind of society it’s theirs.
