Summary: Moyle Report Today (Press, 21 December 1976)
On 21 December 1976, Prime Minister Robert Muldoon announced that the report by Mr Justice North regarding the “Moyle affair” might be released to the public later that day. The report had been received the previous afternoon and discussed by the Cabinet. A copy was also sent to the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Rowling, who was out of Wellington at the time, prompting the government to delay the report’s publication. The document included a facsimile of the police file related to former Cabinet Minister C. J. Moyle, which Muldoon indicated would not be made public. He refrained from commenting extensively on the content of the report, stating that he could not disagree with its findings. The investigation into Moyle was initiated after Muldoon made allegations in Parliament that Moyle had been arrested by police for homosexual activities.
