[National party election campaign ad 1975]
There was a time when New Zealand cities were quiet and clean
People said they were. . nice places to bring up children
But the cities grew alarmingly, people poured in
Not just from the country, but from other countries as well
62,000 in just 2 years
Then one day, there weren’t enough jobs either
The people became angry,and violence broke out
Especially among those who had come from other places expecting great things

[David Lange]
It’s that some governments, such as New Zealand
Have forgotten for whom they have a responsibility
And they owe nothing to huge projects
They owe a lot to little people
And they have turned their face on striving people

[Rob Muldoon]
If you don’t want it that way, go the other way

[David Lange]
Where prices are allowed to soar
While wages are screwed down

[Phil Goff]
It’s not a case of saying inflation is more important than employment
