My main disappointment with NZ's govt though is not placing cheap money into the NZ super fund even though it would show as an asset.

This was supposed to be a government of transformational change. Surely we're not going to see a continuation of the same situation? I was assured it would be different.

As for the other points, this assumes that these are the only important issues that concern so called conservatives. Based on the recent press releases, rental properties appear to be owned by a large swath of Labour-party MP's as well so it would appear we all have a vested interest.

A high wage and high productivity economy is still in the too hard basket.
The only plan presented thus far appears to be legislating our way to a high wage economy. As usual, we don't have a plan.

Interesting where you think Australia's high wages come from?
Not exactly an innovative powerhouse is it (but stuck in the 1960's).
Maybe a small reason could be their wage award system?

Panda, do you not look at the ASX? Over 2000 companies, many VERY innovative, world beating and high tech.
Also some of the best miners in the world, rear earths, plus metals etc. Politically stable country.
NZ is still really just a bunch of farmers producing basic commodities. Hence why we are so scared of China. We are nothing but China's "useful idiots"
Mate, you couldn't be further from the mark if you tried about Australia ........

Many of their farmers are on welfare through drought relief anyway, so it doesn't count.
You can easily provide some "innovative" companies which aren't BHP or Westpac if you would like to.

ASX components:

Most of the innovation there is from us, or america.
Something in the water which makes them incapable of it lol.
