In the second part of this controversial, no-holds-barred portrait, Neil Roberts looks at Robert Muldoon’s tenure as Prime Minister — and claims that his best days were behind him before he took power. He examines Muldoon’s brutally divisive leadership style which saw him at odds with officials, ministers, unions, the media and any social group that opposed him. The tumultuous events of 1984 that resulted from Muldoon’s desperate attempts to cling to power — calling a snap election and all but refusing to leave office after his defeat — are explored in depth.

What a person. The story of politics is barely happy. It's not like Woodstock where you can sing about making a difference and dream of a better tomorrow. When you're in politics you are accountable for all the wrong you did. Muldoon was eaten alive... by himself more than anyone.
