Description: Three images of Ruth Richardson. In the first she is explaining the economy as if it were simple and adaptable bicycle gearing; in the second, she is riding a bicycle with no hands. The cycle has a pennant marked Economy and Richardson is exclaiming "Elegant. Runs itself. Stable. No articial support." In the third panel, tanks have shot down a wall marked US - EC trade wars, causing Richardson and her bicyle to crash, with the comment "But vulnerable to external distortion". The implication is that Richardson is oversimplifying economic issues. There is also a pun on the book title 'Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance'. Quantity: 1 photocopy/ies.

Description: Roger Douglas clad in g-string and bow tie, depicted as an over-sexed and violent male, ready for more action with a bruised, bandaged and horrified woman (New Zealand), who is naked on a bed and pleading for a rest. Douglas's book, 'Unfinished business' is on the floor behind him, as are the remains of a mattress, almost torn to shreds. The implication is that Douglas's economic and social policies continue under the current government and that they are causing the country great suffering.
