1984 New Zealand constitutional crisis

Prime Minister 1975–1984
David Lange
Prime Minister 1984–1989

The New Zealand constitutional crisis of 1984 arose following the 1984 general election, and was caused by a major currency crisis. The crisis led the incoming government to review New Zealand's constitutional structures, which resulted in the Constitution Act 1986.[1]
