Six years after its final mission,Skylab, the first US-manned orbiting laboratory, meets a fiery end when it disintegrates over the Indian Ocean and uninhabited regions of Australia.

Shell/BP/Todd reportedly pays no tax on Kapuni profits, while putting funds into Maui development.

Muldoon, Fletcher and Trotter allegedly hold a secret meeting in Auckland on November 19, 1979 to transfer 43 percent of Tasman Pulp and Paper held by the New Zealand government trio Challenge Corporation (of which trotter is Chairman) and Fletchers.

Tasman reportedly has a lucrative 75-year contract for cheap timber signed in 1955.

New Zealand Steel’s production is allegedly to be expanded 500 percent, the global steel glut notwithstanding.

Fletchers reportedly owns 10 percent of New Zealand Steel and are majority stockholders in Pacific Steel; allegedly, Fletchers controls a New Zealand monopoly over wire rod and reinforcing steel.

Muldoon uses “fast-track” legislation to introduce the National Development Bill intended to keep New Zealand’s economy “free of obstruction” for long-term monopolization.

The C. E. R. plan is introduced, a scheme allegedly conceived by the Trilateral Commission to integrate the economies of Australia and New Zealand for the purposes of exploiting the South Pacific countries and as a “backdoor” entrance to China, the world’s largest untapped consumer market.

New Zealand is also the closest country to Antarctica, a continent possessing vast mineral resources potentially exploitable at some future date.

Contemporary studies, of which Muldoon is seemingly aware, reportedly show that New Zealand could conserve up to 40 percent of its current energy consumption using existing technology, which would enable funds to be invested elsewhere to potentially, lower consumer prices, lower inflation rates, lower demand for imported oil and increase employment buy creating new industries to manufacture and install energy savings technology.

These options are of course contrary to the aims of multinational corporations.

In December, 1979, Muldoon unveils the second stage of a four-stage plan to exploit the Great South Basin; a plan allegedly developed by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based “think tank” linked to the Trilateral Commission (staffed, as it generally is, by former advisors to US Democratic administrations.)

The plan’s “stage two” includes a methanol plant and a synthetic gasoline plant, which would initially use gas from the Maui field and would later link with an underwater gas pipe from Campbell Island.

Under “stage three” of the plan, involving the quintupling of New Zealand Steel production capacity, taxpayer-financed contracts are reportedly awarded to Bechtel, Fluor Corp., Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Nippon Steel and others.
