Holidays Act 2003 Review

12 August 2009, New Zealand Business Roundtable

The New Zealand Business Roundtable welcomes the review of the Holidays Act 2003 which is one of the most problematic areas of New Zealand employment law. We believe it needs to be substantially reformed on a first-principles basis. The starting point for the Review should be the government's primary economic goal of closing the per capita income gap between New Zealand and Australia by 2025


NZIER/Infometrics Report on Climate Change Policy

1 July 2009, New Zealand Business Roundtable

We regard the NZIER and Infometrics as reputable consultancy organisations. Having said that, we cannot emphasise too strongly that the NZIER/Infometrics report isnot a Regulatory Impact Statement.

Submission on the Review of the Emissions Trading Scheme

19 March 2009, New Zealand Business Roundtable

Most business organisations are saying that now that Australia, and perhaps the United States, are planning to put a price on carbon in some way, New Zealand should do likewise. But the issue is a political one, given that all New Zealanders will ultimately bear the costs of policy action.


Submission on the Budget Policy Statement 2009

31 January 2009, New Zealand Business Roundtable

New Zealand China Free Trade Agreement

8 May 2008, New Zealand Business Roundtable

We see the agreement as furthering New Zealand's efforts to become an open and competitive economy with strong links to the rest of the world. Trade liberalisation policies going back some 25 years have put the country in a sound position to benefit from freer trade with China.


Submission to the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance

23 April 2008, New Zealand Business Roundtable

The Business Roundtable believes that the mandate of local authorities should be more tightly constrained. As a general rule, councils should only be permitted to engage in those activities, including regulatoryactivities, that fall within the proper role of government (as opposed to the private sector) and that should be the responsibility of local rather than central government. These core roles of councils should be enumerated in legislation.


Public Consultation on the TCF Telecommunications Service Obligation (TSO) Report

22 April 2008, New Zealand Business Roundtable

The Business Roundtable has had reservations about the TSO from the outset and agrees it is now outdated. It fails most, if not all, tests of good public policy. It is hugely distortionary and gives rise to unnecessary and wasteful disputation.
