Sir Roger Douglas on Rogernomics, moving from Labour to ACT and NZ politics today

Both Sides Now Season 1 Episode 9

Roger Douglas is one of the absolute legends of New Zealand politics, we would have loved to have the cameras rolling as soon as we arrived at his house because we were straight into some epic political conversations. Roger Douglas is most well known for Rogernomics, his suite of neoliberalism policies he enacted as finance minister that was relatively controversial in the 1980’s. Roger then went on to found the Act party and is openly critical of many politicians today. This is a fascinating conversation with one of NZ politics legends!
