... reminds me that I've never heard him express a single shred of sympathy - in all the times I've seen or heard him interviewed - for the people who suffered as a result of his policies as Finance Minister in the 1980s, or his ideological twin Ruth Richardson's in the early 1990s.

Revolution - 3, The Great Divide | Television | NZ On Screen
Revolution - 3, The Great Divide - Four-part series Revolution examined sweeping changes in New Zealand society that began in the 1980s. This third episode looks at the lurch of the Kiwi stock market from boom to bust in 1987, and the growing philosophical divide between the “head boys”: PM David Lange and finance minister Roger 'Rogernomics' Douglas. Within two months of the October 1987 stock market crash, $21 billion was lost from the value of NZ shares. Lange and Douglas give accounts of how their differing views on steering the NZ economy eventually resulted in both their resignations.
