Backbone club

The Backbone club was a ginger group within the New Zealand Labour Party in the late 1980s and early 1990s that advocated neoliberal economic policies and supported Roger Douglas in his financial reforms of New Zealand (known as Rogernomics). Its members later became the nucleus of ACT New Zealand, a neoliberal party which Douglas founded in 1994.
