Fraser - his duel with Bretton Woods, (the international) will be watched with great interest-' The third cameo shows leader of the National Party, Sid Holland, whispering in the ear of a much smaller Frederick Widdowson Doidge who holds a rugby ball; text reads 'Private enterprise' - Sid's great discovery, knows all the doidges (wordplay on 'Doidge' and 'dodge') (no relation to Doug. Credit.) (is 'doug' another wordplay?) In the fourth cameo a player with his leg in plaster lies on a bed which floats in the sea; text reads 'M.S. Wanganella - the (dead) lock, may be a dead loss, still in dock with injuries received earlier. Has been to Australia before.'
