This week on The Revolution...we welcome a man with his own 'nomics', Act MP Roger Douglas the neo-liberal boogey man himself! Douglas has two private member bills before parliament, one abolishing compulsory student union membership (VSM), the other reinstating discriminatory youth wages. At the tender age of 73 what is behind Roger's new found passion for youth issues?
