Travelogue - round N.Z. with a Commission, 4. Documentary - How a Commission works, Intercommission, 5. "Commission Agent"'. On another notice board are the words 'Coming this Thursday WATT's IN THE BUDGET'. Context - the May budget being presented by Finance Minister Jack Watts in 1955 or 1956.

Description: Notorious Australian bank robber Ned Kelly has arrived on his horse. Exhibition caption reads - The Bank of New Zealand had lent speculatively and recklessly to some of the 1980s entrepreneurs who were corporate cowboys on a scale that Ned Kelly would never have imagined possible. After their over-hyped companies collapsed following the 1987 stock market crash, successive Labour and National governments bailed out the bank to a collective tune of $1.3 billion. Calls for a public enquiry were stifled by the secretive sale of the bank to the National Australia Bank in late 1992.
