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.
