| 1358429 | 2013-11-01 03:53:00 | As reported in the NZ Herald: New Zealand has been rated the fifth most prosperous nation to live in, according to an international report. The 2013 Legatum Prosperity Index ranks 142 nations on their “wealth and wellbeing” in eight categories, including health, education, safety and security, and economy. New Zealand scored in the top 20 for all categories, coming out fifth overall, but slipped two places since the last Legatum Prosperity Index was published in 2009. The report’s publishers said one of the largest shifts between the two reports was in the safety and security category, where New Zealand dropped from eighth to 15th place. This was “due to increases in demographic pressures, human immigration and group grievances”. The Legatum Prosperity Index is published by the London-based Legatum Institute, which provides research on different economic and social issues around the world. In summary, here's a chart from the report: 5282 And if you want to read the whole thing, Click HERE (media.nzherald.co.nz) Now, over to all our resident nay sayers and lefties :banana |

| 1358432 | 2013-11-01 06:06:00 | They should have included technology in there . That would have pushed us down a bit.. Fair comment, but because technology was not a criterion, we may never know. |

| 1358435 | 2013-11-01 18:07:00 | Well, our postal service appears to be striving to emulate Swiss Post for slow and erratic service. Has this boosted our standings? It does seem that when the economy is doing well, it traditionally bodes ill for those being economised. |

Hell, even their Health System works better. However, I did notice the link Wal provided took me to www.li.com which I guess is a clue. ;) |

| 1358438 | 2013-11-02 04:15:00 | Selling logs,milk, meat and fish is not progress. We have done that 100 years ago. Have heaps of water for power. What are we doing with it- whitebating and then letting go out to sea for surfing. It seems we don't want an economy. Heaps of people without work, what are we doing, paying them to survive and let them stay home....?? Very clever hai... | notechyet (4479) | ||
