University of Auckland Associate Professor and political theory expert Dr Stephen Winter published an article last week discussing how a pattern of short-term policy reversals in New Zealand contributes to instability and underinvestment in sectors like environmental, infrastructure, and financial policy.
He highlights that kiwi should be better engaged in discussions around our constitution, and highlights that public reaction to the Treaty Principles Bill demonstrates that these decisions are crucial.
