OPINION:
It is a bit much for Shadow Treasurer Andrew Bayly to raise the spectre of Robert Muldoon over the Government s planned overhaul of the Reserve Bank s prudential role. A return to the bad old days before 1989 s Reserve Bank Act and they were bad is not at hand.
The Press reported. But Jones disputed that, as internal dept was not included. The debate is arcane now. There were also colourful scenes when a Christchurch lawyer who heckled at the New Zealand Party meeting “was offered a boxing lesson by its pugilistic leader, Mr Bob Jones”. Jones reportedly asked the man if he believed in strong leadership, “because I’m going to come down and give you some shortly”. Jones said: “I won’t tolerate that crap from you, mate. Officer, please, the ugly fellow.” The man then left voluntarily, saying: “Don’t worry, I’m bored out of my mind.”
