Description: Two men, one from the Ministry of Defence, are discussing the country's defence strategy in the event that New Zealand is not part of the ANZUS alliance.

The two men are contemplating archaic defence methods including bows and arrows, 'non-nuclear missile launchers' and boiling oil. The reference to Marsden Point as the source of boiling oil refers to the constant shut-downs at the Marsden Point oil refinery.
