Today Elliot Crossan, author and activist with System Change Aotearoa, is talking with The Frontline about neoliberalism's original grandparents: Roger Douglas and Ruth Richardson. They destroyed our social safety net 40 years ago, and started the movement that saddled us with ACT and David Seymour, and they ain't done yet.

Like our current government, they were the worst of their generation, and like this one too, they created social and economic damage that would go on to affect the average New Zealander for decades to come.
