Only a young child at the time of Noman Kirk's Prime ministership, but watching footage of him now, I can't help but think that ministers back then really took a personal responsibility of their mandate. Norman Kirk is a man who thought carefully and conscientiously about everything he said and did, knowing that everything he said or did effected the wellbeing of NZ. Today politicians seem to care more about what the world thinks of them rather than what is neccessary and good for NZ citizens. The politicians back then seem to have had more integrity and purpose. There is a genuine countenance and an integrity to this man, and it comes out in his demeaner and personality.
It's hard to believe someone could keep calling the Prime Minister in the middle of the night and the Prime Minister had to take the phone off the hook to get sleep.
Norman Kirk would be regarded as an averaged size man theses days. People today are fatter and more unhealthy, medicine has improved since then also. May he rest in peace.
You reckon incorrectly. Kirk was in terrible shape long before his death. If they wanted him dead, they wouldn't have needed to give him an overdose. All they would've had to do was wait. It was partially his own fault. He refused to moderate his diet, his drinking, or his schedule when his doctors pleaded with him to do so.

Yep, they had trolls back then too. Just a little bit harder when all you have is a landline.

yes. today's generation has a lower IQ compared with 50 years ago.
In this video, he had lost a lot of weight. In earlier years, he was distinctly overweight. And yes, medicine has improved a lot.
