 | | Norman Kirk eventually emerged as the favourite candidate to succeed Nordmeyer, and in a vote on 9 December 1965, Nordmeyer was defeated by 25 votes to 10. | | | In 1947, Nordmeyer became Minister of Industries and Commerce, and came to be regarded as one of the most senior members of the government. | | | In 1950, however, Peter Fraser died, and Nordmeyer was elected as his replacement in the seat of Brooklyn. |

| | Nordmeyer supported and defended Lee in his campaign to secure the election of cabinet by the parliamentary caucus rather than appointment by the prime minister, and for the nationalisation of the Reserve Bank and the Bank of New Zealand. | | | Nordmeyer was appointed to Kurow, North Otago, and served as minister there from 1925 to 1935. | | | Nordmeyer was a joy to Hansard reporters, who in those days depended solely on shorthand: his case was always well-marshalled and his syntax rarely required editing. |

| | Keith Holyoake, who had briefly been Prime Minister at the end of the first period, retured to office. | | | The elderly leader of the Labour Party, Walter Nash, had agreed to step down following his government's defeat, but disliked the prospect of being succeeded by his Minister of Finance, Arnold Nordmeyer. | | | Nordmeyer, however, was unpopular with the general public, being remembered with hostility for the tax hikes in his so-called "Black Budget". |

| | Nash was also criticised for failing to act in the controversy over the 1959 rugby tour of South Africa, which was then under an apartheid government. | | | The situation was exacerbated by Nash's frequent absences from the country, leaving Nordmeyer and other Labour ministers to defend the government's policies by themselves. | | | This was fueled by the National Party, which claimed that Nash and Nordmeyer were exaggerating the extent of the problem. |

| | However, the new administration soon lost its narrow lead in public opinion, with its financial policies being the principle cause of dissatisfaction. | | | The so-called "Black Budget", introduced by Arnold Nordmeyer, increased taxes substantially, with particularly large increases for alcohol and tobacco taxes — Labour became widely seen as both miserly and puritanical. | | | The government defended its tax increases as a necessary measure to avert a balance of payments crisis, the but opposition, led by Keith Holyoake, made substantial gains out of the issue. |

| | Arnold Nordmeyer, the Minister of Finance, responded with what became known as "the black budget". | | | For example in 1951 in response to the waterfront dispute, the Presbyterian Public Questions Committee which included two leading politicians, J.R. Marshall and A.H. Nordmeyer introduced a motion to the General Assembly recording "That the Assembly make confession before God of the Church's failure to be a vital force in industrial relationships" (PGA, 1951, p.42). | | | The increases in duties on beer, spirits, tobacco and cars were seen as draconian financial measures and while these and other actions were economically sound they were politically disastrous and contributed to Labour's defeat in 1960. |
