		Rogernomics, or the reform of social, political and economic institutions according to free-market principles was a product of the first-past-the-post system.
		The heir of Rogernomics and free-market policy in New Zealand is ACT New Zealand, co-founded by Roger Douglas in 1993 to contest the 1996 MMP election.
		Given that the most hardcore proponents of "pure Rogernomics" are not actually members of the ACT caucus, it would seem inappropriate for the caucus members to be sent into the public arena defending a policy which they themselves are not entirely convinced is applicable in their current political environment.

	Brian Easton - www.eastonbh.ac.nz - THE RELEVANCE OF ROGERNOMICS
		Nevertheless a rogernome could claim that the surveys showed that even if they were not in the centre of any `mainstream' and while there may have been few supporters in 1980, the rogernomes had increased their following over the decade.
		With hindsight it is possible to see the beginnings of Rogernomics in some of the slogans, but their general thrust was towards a level of intervention which would be an anathema to the rogernomes.
		In a sense the rogernomics revolution was the coup of one generation against its fathers.

		In addition to cutting agricultural subsidies and trade barriers, and privatising public assets, the policies included the control of inflation through measures rooted in monetarism and were therefore regarded in some quarters of Douglas's own New Zealand Labour Party as a betrayal of traditional Labour ideals.
		Indeed, the Labour Party subsequently resiled from pure Rogernomics, which became a core doctrine of ACT.
		Thatcherism is the system of political thought attributed to the governments of Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.

	New Zealand general election 1987 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of particular importance in the election were the economic reforms being undertaken by Roger Douglas, the Minister of Finance.
		These reforms, sometimes known as "Rogernomics", involved monetarist approaches to controlling inflation, the sale of state assets, and the removal of tariffs and subsidies.
		All these things were strongly opposed by many traditional Labour supporters, who saw them as a betrayal of the party's left-wing principles.

	Scoop: Rogernomics In The Era Of MMP
		It is therefore necessary for ACT to review the method of Rogernomics, and for ACT to ask itself whether new circumstances dictate a new style of free-market politics.
		ACT must be honest in its intentions in government — it should not seek to shift its desires as it proceeds with its political agenda in power.
		Lastly, it should be stated that the ACT Party considers itself the champion of freedom and prosperity.

	Feature article: New Labour, New Zealand
		Rogernomics was a response to the crisis that began in the New Zealand and global economy in the mid-1970s.
		The Rogernomics programme was based on the economic blueprint of the 'Top Tier Group' (comprising the Employers' Federation, Chambers of Commerce, Manufacturers' Federation, Fed- erated Farmers and Retailers Federation).
		New Zealand's experience of Rogernomics and its aftermath carries important lessons for British workers facing the prospect of a Labour government pulled to the right under Tony Blair.

		Between 1991 and 96, average household income for the top 10% rose by over $2,000 per annum, from $121,500 up to $134,100, while the average non-Maori income rose by a tiny fraction of that amount, in the longer 10 year period to 1996.
		That is shocking enough, and clearly shows that the only income sector group which derived benefit from Rogernomics were the country's wealthiest 10%, and the existing disparity between income groups continued to expand rapidly under the National Government.
		While one does not say that forcing whole population sectors to exist on dramaticly lower incomes than others, or the national average justifies crime and anti-social behaviour, no-one with the interests of community and country at heart can ignore the consistent correlation between those mammoth problems and income deprivation.

		Economist Peter Harris, who led the charge for the unions against what became known as Rogernomics, said the foreign exchange crisis, whether deliberately provoked by Douglas or not, allowed him to ram through a programme which had been rejected by the party in February.
		While the platform may have been known to some party insiders, it was a total surprise to most in the electorate and in the media.
		Campbell said there even though the programme was opposed to leftist economic orthodoxy, there was a compelling logic to the Rogernomics process and the programme.

		Hardly had the counting stopped before National announced that like the Rogernomics team, it also believed that NZ had to continue pushing for greater commercial efficiency, more free trade, and encouragement of overseas investment in Godzone.
		A sad but ominous omission in contemporary history through the news media and the educational complex is the bypassing of high and low points of recent N.Z. history and any assessments of their comparative costs and benefits, which could be of immense value in helping citizens to vote more intelligently.
		Distant from classrooms and mass media is a brilliant example of the highly significant incidents that should be brought to life in the minds of future voters.

		And the reforms under Rogernomics and Ruthanasia are important factors in this performance.

		Rogernomics was a term coined to collectively the policies and ideas of governmental reform in New Zealand as part of the New Public Management movement.
		As part of his ideas of reform, the New Zealand civil service would be required to move away from a tenure system toward a performance management measurement system which would call five year contracts for upper level civil servants.
		Rogernomics became the basis for the Westminster model of public management reforms.

	The unrepentant reformer by Brian Easton \| New Zealand Listener
		Aside from the extremists, who don't seem to have learnt from their past failures, we find a populace who either resist those (non-extreme) reforms that Cullen supported, or whose support is tinged with incomprehension – an understandable outcome from their overselling by the Rogernomes.
		Some of these changes are a result of the failures of extreme, ill-thought-through policies: others reflect Labour returning to its traditional values.
		From the perspective of Muldoon, Cullen appears to be a Rogernome.

		I quote from the the book "Final Notice", pg 40-41, "By piecing together the statements and documents, it can be shown that Rogernomics was a plan imposed by a group of ministers on a party which had confused ideas as to what it was letting itself in for.

		A lot of this footage is priceless, capturing the endless capacity for self-delusion among the prophets of Rogernomics.
		Much of it would be hilarious, if the consequences were not so tragic – and Barry has edited it all into a powerful piece of history that puts to shame the dreck that our channel bosses demand that television current affairs must all too often be in this country.

		Those six years of market-led economics have been dubbed "Rogernomics", after Sir Roger Douglas, Lange's finance minister and architect of the most visible and measurable changes.
		"Rogernomics was just one facet of a complete change in our national expression of society.
		The most important thing was that New Zealand became independent." He said the country entered a post-colonial era, shaking itself free of remnants of dependence on Britain, its former ruler, and on its post-World War Two protector, the United States.

	No Right Turn
		The reforms of the Rogernomics period are internationally accepted as the main reasons for New Zealand's current wealth and position as a first world nation, and have been extensively studied and used as a model for reform around the world.
		the gist of the thing, as i remember it, wasn't so much an emphasis on the changes that took place under rogernomics, although he did oppose that, but on the way in which NZL appeared to have come to accept that such things were necessary.
		However, there is an underlying commonality with the economic reforms, namely a roughly similar time frame, a programme of radical change, a failure of execution, and a regrettable tendency to dismiss criticism from experts as "capture".

		The outflow fell to zero for a short period in the mid-1980s and then Rogernomics restructuring encouraged a further outflow - Auckland cab drivers looking to be real estate salesmen in Surfers Paradise.
		The first thing to notice is that Morgan uses an emigration statistic for the Muldoon period, and a net outflow statistic for the late 1980s.
		Any skim reader would assume that the two statistics were comparable, and would concluded that emigration under the Muldoon regime was even worse than the worst under Rogernomics.

		This seeming indifference to transitional consequences gave Rogernomics a bad name, and never more so than in the state-owned enterprise-privatisation firmament.
		Morgan recalls that economist Brian Easton, for one, was always arguing that the sequencing of corporatisation and privatisation was all wrong.
		That's the worst legacy of Rogernomics, Morgan reckons – the "fat cat" polarisation of public opinion around the notion of "left" and "right".
