Debate useful but monetary union not on Government's agenda
"Monetary union is not on the Government's agenda. However the issue is worth debating and I welcome the contribution
made by Dr Grimes and Sir Frank Holmes," Finance Minister Michael Cullen said today.
He was responding to the Institute of Policy Studies report - An Anzac Dollar?
"It is a comprehensive document which should stimulate a lively debate. The Government will monitor that debate
carefully," Dr Cullen said.
The report was commissioned by the Australia-New Zealand Business Council from Sir Frank Holmes and Dr Arthur Grimes,
the Director of the Institute of Policy Studies.
