1 David Lange David Russell Lange, ONZ, CH, served as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1984 to 1989. He headed New Zealand's fourth Labour Government, one of the most reforming administrations in his country's history, but one which did not always conform to more..more..

2 “ David Lange:When asked, "So, what are you going to do with the rest of your life?": "I'm going to be a jockey." #Politicians and Politics#Politicians and Politics

3 “ David Lange:He had more on his mind than his mind could hold. #Mind#Mind

4 “ David Lange:And I'm going to give it to you if you hold your breath just for a moment … I can smell the uranium on it as you lean forward. #Life and Living#Life and Living

5 “ David Lange:To a journalist who asked: "Prime Minister, can we go back to Ruatoria for a moment?": "Certainly, goodbye." #Journalism and Journalists #Journalism and Journalists

6 “ David Lange:We are an enemy of the nuclear threat and we are an enemy of testing nuclear weapons in the South Pacific. New Zealand did not buy into this fight. France put agents into New Zealand. France put spies into New Zealand. France lets off bombs in the Pacific. France puts its President in the Pacific to crow about it. #Twentieth Century#Twentieth Century

7 “ David Lange:After a very long year we've got a very short knight. #Censorship#Censorship

8 “ David Lange:They couldn't, in the National Party, run a bath and if either the deputy leader or the leader tried to, Sir Robert would run away with the plug. #Leaders and Leadership#Leaders and Leadership

9 “ David Lange:He viewed humour as a relaxing introduction to many situations. "It is, of course, completely inappropriate in some... but in the end, you know, if you were serious in this job you'd go mad." #Literature#Literature

10 “ David Lange:"I agreed with the prevailing opinion in the Labour Party about nuclear weapons; I went on ban-the-bomb marches in the 1960s and I have not changed my mind about nuclear deterrence since. But I found it hard to accept the Labour Party’s policy that required the exclusion of nuclear-powered ships. Given that nuclear energy exists it is the intention behind its use that matters. The weapons are made to destroy and we have to learn to live without them. The rest may be useful if properly managed. The management is an environmental issue and the inevitable exclusion of nuclear- powered vessels was not an appropriate basis for our foreign policy." #Politicians and Politics#Politicians and Politics

11 “ David Lange:If the American global strategy is dependent on the ability of nuclear ships to come to New Zealand, then God defend the world. #World Affairs#World Affairs

12 “ David Lange:Asked about the Security Intelligence Service by an opposition MP, he responded: "I can understand the member's desire to have a passing connection with intelligence which seems to have by-passed him all his life. He has kept his secret for years." #Desire#Desire

13 “ David Lange:Greens are not expected to be anything but nice. #Expectation#Expectation

14 “ David Lange:He's gone around the country stirring up apathy. #Tolerance#Tolerance

15 “ David Lange:When asked: "Prime Minister, I wonder if we might have a brief word about Australia" by a journalist, Lange replied: "Wombat" #Journalism and Journalists#Journalism and Journalists

16 “ David Lange:...a sordid act of international state-backed terrorism. #Men#Men

17 “ David Lange:Enquiring about his youngest daughter, a journalist asked "Do you worry about being an old dad?" Lange replied: "No, I worry about being a dead dad." #Journalism and Journalists #Journalism and Journalists

18 “ David Lange:I wouldn't call the Prime Minister gutless. That's all that's left of him. #Politicians and Politics#Politicians and Politics

19 “ David Lange:Death is very, very terminal. #Death and Dying#Death and Dying

20 “ David Lange:On Roger Douglas: "He's like rust, he never sleeps." #Family#Family

21 “ David Lange:Bassett was a member of parliament and a cousin on my father's side of the family. My father delivered him and it became plain in later days that he must have dropped him. #Family#Family
