Kiwis Poverty Immense A recent flurry of information and discussion in the newspapers (I wrote this in July 2004) has brought to light a very worrying situation.

Information as at May 2007 seems to indicate that the Aussies are now earning 40% more than we are! What we know is that we Kiwis also have much less in the way of assets than our Aussie cousins. It is becoming more and more obvious that we are poor and getting poorer but the big question is; “What are we going to do about it?” For one idea see this article. . . Jul 28, 2004, 16:26
