Rob Muldoon won the general election of 1975, defeating Bill Rowling who after David Lange's death was PM for just a few months. Muldoon was adamant that there was to be no political interference in sport which led to the huge demonstrations during the 1981 Springbok tour. Quantity: 1 cartoon bromide(s).

Description: In the first half of the frame a rugby referee representing 'The colonels' tries to order a player, Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, off the field. In the second half, Deputy PM Brian Talboys, steps in and persuades the referee to let him stay by reminding him of 'the tour and the team'. Context: An attempt (known as the "colonels' coup") by high-ranking ministers Derek Quigley, Jim McLay, and Jim Bolger to replace Prime Minister Muldoon with Deputy Prime Minister Talboys, collapsed as a result of Talboys' unwillingness to actively campaign against Muldoon. The tour refers to the 1981 South African tour of New Zealand, which was perhaps the flash point that brought the 'colonels' to the attempt at a coup. In the recent rugby series an all black was sent off then recalled when the captain talked the referee out of it. Title supplied by librarian. Quantity: 1 original cartoon(s).
