In early 2009, the NZ government established the
2025 Taskforce to provide recommendations on closing the income gap with
Australia, lift New Zealand’s living standards to those in Australia and to
retain New Zealand talent and entice it back home. This is obviously a difficult
task considering incomes in New Zealand are a third less than in Australia.
In the forum Flight
of the Kiwi, hosted
by The Centre for Independent Studies in December 2009, four New Zealanders discussed
the policy reforms that could entice Kiwis home.
This collection brings together the updated speeches on issues such as wage
disparity, tax structures, streamlining ANZAC business, career prospects, and
social and cultural challenges.
