26 August 2013 MEDIA STATEMENT
Team New Zealand win good for economy
Team New Zealand winning the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series in San Francisco will raise New Zealand’s profile in
the United States and Europe, and boost our economy, Labour’s Sport and Recreation spokesperson Trevor Mallard says.
“The design team behind Team New Zealand is a high-tech brains trust. It is probably the best design team in the country
and exactly the type of innovation the Government should be supporting.”
“Team New Zealand has raised offshore all but the $36 million allocated by the previous government and the resulting
PAYE and GST means that New Zealand has had massive publicity at no net cost to the taxpayer,” Trevor Mallard says.
