Prime Minister David Lange posts a letter, at the opening of the new Foxton Post Office, 1980’s
David Russell LangeCH, ONZ (who pronounced his name "long-ee", /ˈlɒŋi/) (4 August 1942 – 13 August 2005), served as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1984 to 1989.

He had a reputation for cutting wit and eloquence. His government implemented far-reaching free market reforms, some of which he later came to oppose and regret. New Zealand's nuclear-free legislation, perhaps his most lasting legacy, symbolised for many a pacifist identity for New Zealand. (Fullarticle...)
