Comments[edit]

If someone can add to this article the date he was knighted, we can all more easily give him the correct title at appropriate moments in his history here and in other articles. Robin Patterson 23:11, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the reference to "causing high unemployment" as it just isnt correct - refer the Statistics historical unemployement tables at http://wdmzpub01.stats.govt.nz/wds/TableViewer/tableView.aspx?ReportName=Employment%20and%20Unemployment/Key%20Labour%20Force%20Measures%20by%20Qualification,%20Age%20and%20Sex. I'm not sure if the point wasnt perhaps that the structual reforms caused localised unemployment (e.g. in SOEs) but either way its just opinion. Gacole (talk) 21:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do the official reports follow OECD guidelines? The Keating govt a few years later learned to side step the OECD. The Ross Free report into higher education claimed expenditure at universities was something like 2X higher that it actually was. Typically, the report counted same portion of money under several different classifications, and then summed to an inflated fictitious total. The OECD guidelines allow money to be classified just once. Australia's unemployment was 11% then, so I'd presume NZ was not very different.220.240.229.144 (talk) 06:33, 20 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Photo[edit]

Surely there are better photos of Sir Douglas out there then the one currently used. Something perhaps in which his eyes are actually looking at the camera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.99.186 (talk) 10:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing[edit]

There's been some good work done recently on the expansion of this article, including a lot of repeat referencing. In my opinion, the article would lend itself for conversion to shortened footnotes. Does anybody have any objections that I'll convert the referencing system to that? If you want to look at examples of this system, it's in use on Wairau Affray and 4th New Zealand Parliament.
