James Brendan Jim Bolger ONZ (born 31 May 1935) was the 35th Prime Minister of New Zealand from 1990 to 1997. Bolger was elected on the promise of delivering a Decent Society following the previous Labour government’s economic reforms known as Rogernomics. Shortly after taking office his government was forced to bail out the Bank of New Zealand and as a result reneged on a number of promises made during the election campaign.
