Hell yeah, his ban on inflation (wage and price freeze) really worked well didn't it? And the Think Big projects were visionary, NOT.

Getting rid of Labour's superannuation scheme was a real genius move, as well...

The man was smashed most of the time, so no not Muldoon. Though he was entertaining. And grew beautiful lilies. But according to Thea, power corrupted him...

Sad really. Happens to many of them.

I was young, but Kirk because he stopped conscription (a worry for me, because no fucking way...) and had a superannuation scheme that would've worked.

Unfortunately, he's slightly dead but I suspect Rod Donald might have done a good job if given the chance.

And I'd agree that Big Norm could have probably done well had he survived longer.
