The 1984 Leaders Debate
Television (Full Length) – 1984
I love you, Mr Lange– Sir Robert Muldoon’s parting shot
As the lights dimmed, the tears of the most solitary man I ever knew ended a programme I have never looked at again.– David Lange (in his book Cuttings)
It was a curious ending for a man who was once the master of such occasions. He went home and, as I later discovered, had his favourite lilies dug up from the garden of Vogel House, his official residence.– David Lange (in his book My Life)
