Barry Soper: Senior Political Correspondent on the 40th anniversary of Muldoon' snap election - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Today marks 40 years since Robert Muldoon’s snap election – and Barry Soper recounts the former Prime Minister’s drunken media interview.  

Senior Political Correspondent Barry Soper told Heather du Plessis-Allan “He was absolutely incoherent.” 

“The Governor General, David Beattie, had to take over the interview, while Muldoon was bundled into his LTD limo, and taken back to parliament to sober him up.”
