- Description
Shows Finance Minister Roger Douglas wearing a jersey with the words '(organiser) Douglas Economic Marathon' on it. Two runners with the letters 'N' on the t'shirt of one and 'Z' on that of the other, struggle up a hill to a destination called 'Recovery'. The male runner says to the female "Sounds like a no-win situation!" Refers to the economic reform often called 'Rogernomics' which was a move towards policies that included cutting agricultural subsidies and trade barriers, privatising public assets and the control of inflation through measures rooted in monetarism, and were regarded in some quarters of Douglas's New Zealand Labour Party as a betrayal of traditional Labour ideals.
