7. “As a small nation we could lead the world in integrated governance, planning and delivery…”
But for a nation with just 4.5 million people we sure know how to make things complicated!

10. What about the environment?
“…this report concludes that the environmental outcomes of the RMA have not met expectations…”
“…it has largely failed to achieve the goal of sustainable management to date.”

11. Who Leads Regional Development?
Regional GDP per Capita 2016
The Government?
Regional Councils?
District Councils?

12. Very weak incentive to lead growth… Especially when the taxes primarily go to central government!
There has to be a case for sharing the growth dividend
