Hon Monday 15th Jan 2001 Richard Prebble Media Release -- Governance & Constitution
ACT Leader Hon Richard Prebble will be giving a State of the Nation address at 12pm this Tuesday 16 January at the
Centra Hotel, Auckland.
Mr Prebble has developed an enviable reputation for the accuracy of his forecasts and the sharpness of his new ideas.
Among this years forecasts is that the election of a Republican President, whose cornerstone policy is massive tax cuts,
will make taxes a world-wide political issue (Labour is the only government in the world to increase income tax this
millennium).
Another issue is the increasing volatility of the Kiwi dollar. The Kiwi depreciated 48 per cent from its peak in 1996 to
the historic low of 2000. It has now appreciated nearly 20 per cent in just three months. Richard will present his ideas
of how New Zealand can gain some stability.
When: Tuesday 16 January @ 12pm
Where: Centra Hotel, Albert St Auckland
