Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :"Why doesn't he take his foot off the brake?" "Maybe he's about to make another u-turn." "Perhaps it's because we're going downhill." "We seem to have been going downhill for a long time." "Yes! I suppose this is the right road?" "He reckons it's the road to recovery." "Yes, but is it the right road?" 21 July 1988

A bit of newsprint that was glued to the original (and now appears in the photocopy) reads, 'The government must take its foot off the brake and allow some stimulation of the economy, the secretary-general of the Manufacturers Federation, Wally Gardner, said today.' A car with four flat tires and a numberplate reading 'NZ 88' seems to have come to a stop; the group of passengers are puzzled about what the driver, Finance Minister, Roger Douglas, is doing and wonder if they are on the right road. Refers to the implementation by Roger Douglas of his neoliberal economic policies "Rogernomics", that involved monetarist measures to control inflation, the slashing of subsidies and trade tariffs, and the privatisation of public assets.
