What is hard to understand is how and why, from about the mid-1980s, Labour has been on the road of political destruction.

After years of reform and overseeing employment conditions, social security implementation and the wonderful programme of state housing, they, as an organisation, have encouraged their membership to become radical and academically inept.

The Labour Party of Savage, Fraser, Kirk and even early Rowling stood for working-class advancement, security and dignity.

But from the mid-1980s, Labour in New Zealand – like many social democratic parties abroad – went through a major transformation.

Political observers refer to it as a betrayal of huge proportions.

The US And Australia Must Lead the Minerals Race
