Description: A kangaroo and a kiwi are sitting up in bed together under a blanket labelled CER, both puzzling over what to do. New Zealand prime minister Robert Muldoon peers through a keyhole at them and tells Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser that 'I think they're getting the message'. Exhibition caption reads - Perhaps a marriage of convenience at the beginning, CER was to blossom into a long-standing, stable and mutually beneficial relationship. At the end of 1982, for New Zealand prime minister Muldoon particularly, CER was an economic lifeline at a time when the economy was performing badly and job-creating major new industries, promised during the 1981 election campaign, looked more and more unlikely.

Description: American President Ronald Reagan is seen applying mafia boss style pressure on New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange, watched by Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke. Exhibition caption reads - It was undoubtedly naive of David Lange and his government to think that the declaration of a New Zealand nuclear-free zone would be tolerated by New Zealand's ANZUS allies. The United States refused to confirm or deny whether visiting warships were nuclear powered or armed, effectively bringing the tripartite defence treaty to an abrupt end. The result, despite pressure from Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke, was an uneasy truce.
