any time he likes. He is the leader of their party. Mr Muldoon said in Auckland in April that he would like to see me with Mr Holyoake on television as often as possible, because I made Mr Holyoake look the better man. “Mr Muldoon has only to make the arrangement I am willing to meet Mr Holyoake on TV—as I did a fortnight ago at the university,” he said.
