Lodge, Nevile Sidney, 1918-1989 :The government is trimming bureaucracy's paper war and has told departments to keep submissions to cabinet and its committees down to two or three sheets, or perhaps four in exceptional circumstances. Evening Post. 9 June 1981.

There are three scenes in this cartoon. In the upper right a public servant is telling another that he is still making his submission to cabinet on his usual dozen sheets of paper but only giving them three sheets, picked at random, because they will never notice. In the lower left a man is telling Muldoon that the reduced demand for paper will threaten the viability of the Kinleith paper mill and that the mill is demanding $10 million. In the lower right Muldoon is speaking to parliament. He says he was hoping to announce substantial tax cuts but a four page budget wouldn't allow space.

Other Titles - And will the government limit all paper use?

Extended Title - Has the government considered possible consequences?
