New Zealand has become uncompetitive. Rules, welfare and the nanny state do not create jobs and prosperity.

Key may be a good bloke but he's not done much to fix things. He should be listening to Roger Douglas, who made NZ prosperous before Helen Clark stuffed it up and knows what it will take to do it again.

It is time AU and NZ talk with one voice. There so many NZ here we may as well join forces. NZ has vast growing land and animal grazing. AU most fertile land is being covered with housing and tar. We have vast amounts of marginal land, good for growing lizards. Our currency should be one of the same and our govt; as one. NZ for AU state.
