Sir Robert Muldoon typed letter signed

Letter on A4 Office of the Leader of the Opposition letterhead dated 18 September 1974 making a comment on unions, ' You are perfectly correct in your comments. I agree that there should be less unions, but the information I get tells me that many people would join unions if they were voluntary but do not like being compelled to join.'

Sir Robert Muldoon 1921 - 1992, New Zealand's Prime Minister 1975 -1984. To supporters he was the voice of the 'ordinary bloke'; to critics he was a dictatorial bully. Defeated by Labour's David Lange in 1984 in a surprise snap election, he remained on National's back benches until shortly before his death in 1992.
