P.M. 'tired’ of travelling
PA ■ Auckland ...One of the most widely travelled men in New Zealand is becoming tired of living out of suitcases and in- hotel rooms, He is the Prime- 'Minister (Mr Muldoon) who is much criticised by. political .opponents for his Tegular trips overseas. But he says - that it is no fun. It can be enjoyable meeting people but for much, of the time it is ’“one hard slog. I. don’t know anyone among my. ..colleagues who' enjoys, it.” "Every minute of the day is taken up' and it just becomes a - combination .of hotel rooms, room-service meals, airline meals, and banquets which you could well do without, but which
you have got to attend.” It has been a busy travelling year for Mr Muldoon. He says he is determined that 1981 will not be so hectic.
He plans to attend the meeting of the Organisation for * Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris in June, a Pacific Forum meeting at Port Vila, and a Commonwealth heads of goverrim6nt* meeting at Melbourne in September. He will also have a brief meeting with the Australian Prime Minister (Mr Fraser) jn February or March and will travel to Japan in April for a 10-day official visit. Mr Muldoon spent more than two months out of New Zealand this year.
