		Douglas left the course proud of the few holes where he had contributed to the team, and vowing that the next time his play proved less than satisfactory he would still post a proper score.

		Roger Douglas, former Minister of Finance of New Zealand, put forward this watchword at the Hayek-days of the Friedrich-August-von-Hayek-Society in Salzburg.
		Roger Douglas was awarded the Hayek medal in Salzburg in recognition of his radical reform policies, with which the former Labour Party member changed New Zealand into a political (ordnungspolitisch) role model and hope (Hoffnungsträger) in the 1980s.
		Christian Watrin, Chaiman of the Hayek-Society, praised Douglas as the "Ludwig-Erhard of New Zealand." He put into action the Hayekian perception that only private property and freedom of contract are at the root of a society's success, in connection with competition in price-controlled markets.

		It seems a bit ironic then, that Roger Douglas retires as president to hand over to a PR specialist.
		Roger Douglas won but not without a couple of stunts of his own - such as suggesting John Ormond wasn't leadership material which was surprising enough to some that it prodded MP Donna Awatere-Huata to come out in support of Ormond.

	Days of thunder by Jane Clifton \| New Zealand Listener
		Economic analyst Gareth Morgan argues that Sir Roger never intended to finish his agenda and was amazed that he got through as much of it as he did.
		Fifteen years on, Mum from Otara would now choose, with her personal tax money, which schools her kids attend (one of them owned by the teachers), buy health insurance guaranteeing the family operations the instant they were needed, and afford to salt away more than $100,000 in her and Dad's retirement accounts.
		Tax, he concedes, is still not flat in the Roger Future: 25 cents top rate, 18 cents in the middle, but expected to fall to 15 cents flat in the next 10 years, because of high economic growth and less need for the state to fund pensions.
