New Zealand

In 2006, the CIS established its New Zealand Policy Unit to focus specifically on NZ issues. The unit’s work focused on tax, government spending, tertiary education, and social policy which has stimulated debate and attracted widespread media coverage.

The New Zealand Policy Unit also contributed to the CIS’s events and publishing activities. It put out regular papers in the Issue Analysis series, opinion pieces in major New Zealand news outlets, and articles in Policy magazine. The CIS’s offers scholarships for young New Zealanders to attend its Liberty & Society conferences in Sydney.
