This delivery should NEVER be forgotten. I was not a labour supporter at the time, ut I was proud to be a New Zealander led by this man at this moment.
When I was a kid I had a paper run and every morning before school I would bike up to the dairy about 6am to collect the papers. One morning David Lange stopped in for a coffee he was heading to Wellington anyways he said to me, you are doing a really good job and bought me a pie a drink and some lollies. I have never forgot that encounter with him. No cameras, no phones he geniunly cared for his people. I miss that feeling of trust I once had
Lovely man He wandered onto my property searching for the old graveyard located at the back of my home in Tasmania. He was searching out Scottish ancestors. We had a great chat,
Before he died, after his heart surgery, he came to our med school and filled the largest auditorium, with people sitting on each other's laps and on the stairs and in the lobby. He Was a great Kiwi.
Back when us New Zealanders had a real reason to be proud. Now it's all 'yeah bro we won the cricket and beef exports to Asia are increasing! change the flag!'
Now this is what a prime minister looks and sounds like. I can't even imagine John Key giving a speech so impassioned as this one. Well, MAYBE unless it was about how much he loves money and/or america, I guess.
Thank you Mr. Lange. May you rest in peace. You were a great voice in the end game of the cold war. New Zealand and the World is a better place because of you.
Wow. How thoughtful he was to the future of New Zealanders. New Zealander's like me, after 28 years, who can go out and breathe as hard as I want to without worrying what may be in the air, whereas the poor Japanese victims who still struggle after the tsunami in 2011 that caused their nuclear power plant to explode. I'm grateful for Lange. At the same time, my heart goes out to the Japanese victims. Imagine if that were to happen to us NZers. Dangg

Stand your ground on this one NZ!! It's a very valuable statement to the world. Not to be bullied by threats and agendas of others.
I'm an American, and men like David Lange are precisely why I love New Zealand so much! Way to go Kiwis!

This is bad ass. This is one of my favorite moments of our history.
Let that voice rise up again
One of the greatest orators of the 20th century.
Back when us New Zealanders had a real reason to be proud. Now it's all 'yeah bro we won the cricket and beef exports to Asia are increasing! change the flag!'
When both sides give you a standing ovation.
Now there my friends is a leader to be proud of!
OMG. This speech was awesome. It made me even prouder to be a Kiwi.
When I saw Key on David Letterman it made me want to punch him. LOL

Badass performance. Lange is a legend. RIP
Thank you Mr. Lange. May you rest in peace. You were a great voice in the end game of the cold war. New Zealand and the World is a better place because of you.
I'm a Kiwi and after listening this is makes me even more proud of our mana! Go Lange!
