What’s NZ’s economic and environmental strategy?


By Peter Kerr for sticK

(sticK - Nov. 5 2010 ) Long on ‘should’, short on ‘how’, ‘Running Hot 2010’ managed to throw out some interesting observations and comments.

• Relatively speaking, our prosperity has fallen in the past 20 years, while environmental damage has increased. The worst thing is, NZ doesn’t have a plan to get out of our dilemma – there’s no economic strategy, no environmental strategy. (Andy West, Seales Ltd and former AgResearch CEO)
