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.

Description: Prime Minister John Key and Governor of the Reserve Bank Alan Bollard are flying in a hot air balloon. John Key starts by declaring that he cannot interfere but then proceeds to do so by asking Alan Bollard to have the Reserve Bank devalue the Kiwi dollar. Alan Bollard wishes he could throw Key out of the basket but thinks it would make things worse. The surge in the kiwi dollar is related to the weak US currency rather than New Zealand's economy. Prime Minister John Key says the Government has no intention of intervening to try to bring down the New Zealand dollar, despite acknowledging the huge pressure the strong currency is putting on exporters. Mr Key says he has had no advice so far about the Reserve Bank increasing the cash supply in order to cheapen the New Zealand dollar. (Radio New Zealand News 1 November 2010) Bollard said the kiwi's strength against the US dollar, and recent volatility on a trade-weighted basis was outside the central bank's control and he talked down the ability of the Bank to push down the currency through intervention.

The kiwi comments 'In defense matters it's vitally important that you can stand on someone's own two feet...'

Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully told Morning Report there have always been limitations on interactions because of New Zealand's nuclear free legislation. "It means that while Australia and the United States have an alliance, we don't have one, and we had to try and find a new, positive way of expressing a partnership that wasn't an alliance."
