The following article is reprinted from the NZ Republican and is the second part of a three part series. The article was written by Bruce Jesson and has been slightly adapted for Salient. In the first part it was detailed how Sir Kerridge had fought his way to a monopoly position in the New Zealand film industry and then allied himself with the Rank Organisation based in England. This article shows how Sir Kerridge is supported in his position of power by law and tradition and the uses he puts his power too.
