The full set:
David Lange - in his day, probably best known outside New Zealand for his Oxford Union debate with Jerry Falwell, and for l'affaire
Rainbow Warrior. Answered by
Bookpossum.
Geoff Palmer - not hugely well-known outside New Zealand, so I'm impressed that
Issybird answered this. A distinguished jurist who's taught at the University of Iowa and the University of Virginia.
Mike Moore (no, not
that Michael Moore) - Director-General of the WTO 1999-2002; currently NZ ambassador to the USA.
Jim Bolger - served as NZ ambassador to the USA. Has a tendency to mimic (unintentionally) the accent of whomever he's currently talking to. Has nine children. Answered by
SneakySnake
Bolger lost the leadership of his party, and with it the job of PM, to Jenny Shipley, who was our first female Prime Minister. She held it for two years, but at the next election lost to Helen Clark (as answered by
SneakySnake), who was our first female Prime Minister to get the job by winning an election. She served three terms as PM, and is now with the UN, as answered by
Bookpossum.
Bookpossum also supplied the fact that at least one PM went on to be an ambassador.
Scoring:
Bookpossum: 2.5
SneakySnake: 2
Issybird: 1
Thanks for playing this horrible round, everyone. I'll try to be less insular next time.
Looks like it's yours, Bookpossum.
