The repercussions of a nanny state

OPINION: The officers of the Social Obligations and Responsibilities Unit knocked on Charlotte's front door as she was preparing breakfast.

She always tried to send her children off to school with something hot and nutritious - not always successfully.

Justin and Katherine were both teenagers and did not appear to believe in eating anything at all. Most mornings they simply opened the refrigerator, grabbed the orange juice, took a swig, and then, offering their mother a desultory wave, disappeared for the rest of the day.

Charlotte would be left with more French toast, pancakes and scrambled eggs than she could possibly eat. Usually she ended up scraping most of it into the re- cycling bin.

In fact, she was just on the point of throwing out her offspring's untouched breakfasts when the SORU came a-knocking.

Natural resource potential of New Zealand

Overview

The minerals, oil, gas and coal being produced in New Zealand have a value of about $4,500 million per year, and contribute more than $2,000 million to exports. Potential exists to maintain and expand the range and value of what we produce.

Demand for resources is being driven by economic growth in developing countries that is resource intensive while basic infrastructure –taken for granted in developed countries –is established. This increased demand is likely to continue for the long term.

Australia’smineralwealth is often used to explain its higher living standards relative to New Zealand. Australia has worked hard to achieve this, and major government and industry initiatives are continuing in order to stay competitive. By comparison, New Zealand has done little over the last 25 years to make the most of its resource potential.
