On The Monday Wire today...

12.20 - Alex Tan, Director, PriceWaterhouseCoopers

On the back of a Global Economic Crime Survey support that placed New Zealand 8th on a list of 54 countries for incidences of fraud in the workplace, we thought it'd good to talk one of the co-authors of the local part of the study. Alex Tan explains what fraud can entail, why it's shifted from the lower-tier of employees to a growing number of disgruntled folk in middle and senior management, and what the countries with the lowest levels of fraud have that we don't.

12.55 - David Cunliffe, Finance Spokesperson, Labour

It's the end of an era - Phil Goff has demolished NZ's major party consensus on monetary policy with a call to end the sole, unreasonable focus on inflation targeting. There's a plan to give the Reserve Bank more levers essentially, but the party hasn't handed out the details yet. So we try to get a little more sense of what those details could be, and what they most certainly won't be, courtesy of Labour's finance boffin.

1.30 - Antonio Buti, Senior Law Lecturer, University of Western Australia

Australian PM Kevin Rudd made headlines last week when he apologised to the 'Forgotten Australians' - thousands of middle-aged and elderly individuals who were seperated from their families in the UK as young children and bought to Australia for 'new lives' often marked with horrendous neglect and abuse. Antonio Buti wrote a precient paper on the need to offer restorative justice to the policy's victims back in 2002 and he talks about the path to the apology, where the legal responsibility falls, and whether Australia is staying true to its word in the present as it expresses regret for the past.
